The Ultra B6 Bright, which used a more powerful turbocharged 2.0-litre mild-hybrid powertrain than the B5, has been axed.
The seven-seat, all-wheel drive SUV features revised headlights and tail-lights, plus a new grille and air intakes.
Inside, it has moved from a 9.0-inch infotainment touchscreen to a higher-resolution 11.2-inch unit, which retains Android Automotive with Google built-in.
The cabin is quieter thanks to more sound insulation, while the centre console has been rejigged, the gear selector redesigned, and the dashboard refreshed. There’s also an extra cupholder.
Volvo claims it’s improved the XC90’s suspension, with each damper “now able to adapt mechanically to current road conditions to optimise both comfort and stability – for a more confident and relaxed driving experience.”
The Ultra T8 Plug-in Hybrid’s air suspension brings the ability to raise the XC90 by up to 40mm or lower it by 20mm.
