Research is a critical part of the buying process. It's important to make sure that the vehicle that you have your eye on will serve you best and meet all your needs. The new Volvo XC90 offers a well-rounded luxury experience for those interested in innovative safety, three-rows of comfort, and impressive performance. Allow us to answer some of the most popular questions that we get for the XC90.
Does the Volvo XC90 require premium gas?
Volvo recommends premium, 91 unleaded octane or higher to optimize the XC90's performance. However, the XC90 can run on regular 87 unleaded octane without affecting the T5 engine reliability. It's also safe to use fuel containing up to 10% Ethanol in your XC90.
Keep in mind that if you have a T6 engine equipped, the XC90 is considered equipped with a high-performance engine and requires premium fuel, 91 unleaded octane or higher. If you are still unsure what type of gas works best for your XC90, there is always the option of speaking with our service team or checking the owner's manual.
Does the Volvo XC90 have Apple CarPlay®?
The XC90 offers both standard Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ smartphone integration. These features pair with the Sensus Connect to provide a similar interface to what you would find on your phone. The Sensus Touchscreen offers a similar interface to a smartphone, so you will be able to swipe and pinch-zoom to interact with key apps and features.
The smartphone integration allows you to access your phones navigation, communication, and audio through the multimedia system. The voice control, wireless connectivity, and steering wheel commands allow you to keep your focus on the road while accessing key functions.
Is the Volvo XC90 good in the snow?
It sure is! The XC90's balanced design helps to keep you in control even when conditions are slippery. The XC90 offers optional features like AWD, air suspension, and an Active Four-C chassis for even more traction and adaptability.

Is the Volvo XC90 electric?
