Overview & Reviews

Volvo drops the 2.5T model in favor of the XC90 3.2, which offers considerably more power, thanks to a 235-horsepower, 3.2-liter inline six-cylinder engine. A Sport trim for the XC90 V8 debuts as well. Exterior styling is slightly revised and all 2007 Volvo XC90s have body-color side moldings and door handles. Inside, there's additional metallic trim, and V8 models get upgraded instrumentation. New standard features include a tire-pressure monitoring system, an MP3 player input jack and a satellite radio-compatible head unit. New options include Volvo's new Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) and adaptive bi-xenon headlights.

• Safe as a bank vault, plush ride, feels smaller than it is, high-quality interior materials, ample cargo room.

• Hefty curb weight drags down fuel mileage, third-row seating compromises second-row space.

  2007 Volvo XC90 - 2007 Volvo XC90
  By Pablo - September 26 - 10:53 am

  Its the best SUV Ive ever driven, even better than the new X5 and Cayenne and you can get it for a lot less money. In addition is safer and looks better. Best decision Ive made so far regarding a car buy.

  Nice car, with a few shortcomings - 2007 Volvo XC90
  By Carsten S - July 12 - 9:43 pm

  Overall, I am satisfied with the car. On many levels it compares well with other imported SUVs, and is more reasonably priced than many of them. The cargo room it provides is quite good. 2nd row seating is tight front and aft when the third row option is installed. Volvo has a very skimpy maintenance plan, comp. to others, just the first is free. Gas mileage: try as I might, never more than 17mpg. A BMW X3 is much quicker and with beter mileage. Reliability: the shift lever will not leave park on cold days for up to 1min. Even a "fix" didnt help. Traction: Problems with 4wd engagement led to recall, but mine still spins through in FWD on even just slightly wet surfaces. Very annoying

  Love this truck - 2007 Volvo XC90
  By Xavier - May 21 - 6:30 am

  I bought this car in January and what a treat to drive. Rides smoothly, it is super comfortable and it is super quiet on the highway. Mileage on the highway is phenomenal (better than my 4cyl Nissan Altima - not as good in the City but as good as a 6 cylinder sedan. The interior is better than most SUVs - far better than the X5 and the Cayenne. Test drive and compare - you will not be disappointed. Great value for the money.

  No fun - 2007 Volvo XC90
  By wsa10 - May 19 - 3:26 pm

  I leased a 2007 AWD 3.2 Volvo XC90 in August of 2006. I am so glad that I chose a 24 month lease as opposed to a 36 month lease. We have 2 more payments to go, and cant wait to get out of this car. I knew the car wasnt all that fun to drive, but was surprised that it would be as unreliable as it has been.

  Dont buy 6 cyl FWD - 2007 Volvo XC90
  By RonP - March 31 - 9:10 am

  We bought the XC90 3.2ltr FWD 7 passenger for its comfort and versatility when the grandkids visit. We thought the inline 6 cyl would get decent gas mileage, at least better than the Explorer we had. Wrong! In town we are only getting 12-13 mpg as opposed to advertised 18. Highway 22 mpg about what expected. The 6 cyl is significantly underpowered - having to downshift constantly. Also the car has the most unintuitive controls, i.e., washer/wipers, door locks, headlight controls Ive ever seen! Must be Swedish logic! It is a comfortable ride however for a mid-sized SUV.

  Nice! - 2007 Volvo XC90
  By Nice! - March 5 - 7:33 pm

  Just bought the XC90. Last car was the Acura MDX. Really enjoying the Volvo but do miss some of the nooks and crannies of the MDX for eye glasses, cell phones, loose change etc. Would also say the Acura had more of a luxurious feel on the inside. But, putting those things aside, the Volvo drives like a dream, definitely a tighter ride and handles better than the MDX and the interior is still very very nice.

  Sadly Engine Scrapped - 2007 Volvo XC90
  By Christine Farmer - August 11 - 1:56 am

  I loved this SUV so much I retained the previous owners name for her, Lucy. She was great the first 3 years I owned her. She rode well, was comfortable and I felt safe since I drive a lot of highway miles. She has approximately 142,000 miles on her now. Unfortunately, this year after a replacing the transmission and serpentine belt, for $3500, some strange noise began last week. I drove her straight to my mechanic. Heres what they told me: inspect locking pin after removal, if locking pin is broken after removal, the shaft has worn into the bearing position, engine must be scrapped". Sadly, I dumped $3500 into her now will hope to recoup at least some of that selling her parts.

  See review at 6K miles. - 2007 Volvo XC90
  By Dennis - June 16 - 8:30 am

  Now have 17K miles. Had to replace tires. No other problems. Ditto first review only better. Especially now that Volvo has discontinued the V8 engine. Big mistake. Much better then the six at the expense of only a few MPG. If your buying this for the MPG you can do much better. If your buying this just for the pleasure, comfort and fun of the powerful V8, youd be hard pressed to find something better. Great world class vehicle.

  Good so far - 2007 Volvo XC90
  By Greg Robins - June 10 - 9:03 pm

  Just new to Volvo after driving Japanese for all my life (except Audi for a wonderful 3 years). Compared to previous MDX and 4-Runner, the XC90 has all the luxe one would expect at this price. Great seats, simple control-layout, great ride, decent power and capabilities. Low road noise and nice, high perch. Great grocery bag feature at back that beats a cargo net hands down. Handsome exterior design.

  2007 Volvo XC90 V8 - 2007 Volvo XC90
  By Larry - May 19 - 3:40 am

  Traded a 2001 BMW X5 that I thought was the best until I test drove the Volvo. So far, getting about 20 mpg with the V8...much better than I got with the 3.0 in the BMW. Handles as well as the BMW since Volvo re-tuned the suspension in 07. Great ride. The Dynaudio stereo with the Sirius is awesome.
