Is the 2023 Volvo XC90 a good car?

Yes — the 2023 Volvo XC90 earns a 5/5 user rating and an 8/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Look and feel at 10/10.

It stands out as an understated luxury three-row crossover with a polished, sophisticated family-vehicle feel. The cabin is a major draw, with beautiful materials and impressive technology, and it should appeal if you value a forward-thinking infotainment system.

The trade-offs are clear: cargo space is limited, the third row is difficult to access, and the technology can feel too touchscreen-dependent. Even so, the XC90’s restrained design and premium execution make it a strong fit if you want a refined family SUV rather than something flashy.

34.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which suggests there are still some attractive opportunities if you shop carefully.

Is the 2023 Volvo XC90 reliable?

Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The 2023 XC90’s reliability case is helped by its mature, familiar design and its focus on smooth, reserved operation rather than complexity for its own sake. Its mild-hybrid powertrain is described as a step toward electrification, and the auto stop-start system is almost imperceptible, which points to a well-integrated drivetrain.

The cabin and technology are also presented as thoughtfully engineered, with Google OS built into the standard infotainment system and natural-language controls that should make day-to-day use easier once you learn the interface. Volvo also includes a first scheduled maintenance visit on the house.

For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that the touchscreen-heavy layout may age less gracefully than simpler controls if you prefer straightforward operation.

What should I look for when buying a used 2023 Volvo XC90?

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Core, Plus, and Ultimate trims differ mainly in equipment and luxury touches, with the Ultimate bringing the richest presentation. The base trim still gets standard heated front seats, but the cabin’s minimalist layout means you should check whether the features you want are included before you buy.
• Powertrain: For 2023, the XC90 moves to B5 and B6 mild-hybrid powertrains in the broader lineup, with the B6 described as the main Canadian setup here. It trades a little output for smoother operation and slightly better fuel efficiency, while still using a supercharger, turbocharger, and mild-hybrid support.
• Safety package: Pilot Assist is the named driver-assistance suite, and it includes blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, and lane-keeping assist. These features are standard, which is a major plus, and they support the XC90’s strong safety reputation.
• Infotainment: You get a 9-inch vertically oriented touchscreen with Google OS, Bluetooth, Google Maps, Google Assistant, Apple CarPlay compatibility, and a 12.3-inch driver information display. The system is advanced, but some key functions still live inside the touchscreen.
• Fuel efficiency: The mild-hybrid setup is aimed at better fuel efficiency and smoother operation, but the gains are described as modest rather than dramatic.

Which 2023 Volvo XC90 trim should I buy?

The 2023 Volvo XC90 is offered in 3 trim levels: Core, Plus, Ultimate.

Here's the short version:

• Core: This is the entry point, and it gives you the XC90’s core luxury experience without stretching the budget as far as the higher trims. It still benefits from the model’s standard safety tech and elegant design, so it makes sense if you want the XC90’s fundamentals.
• Plus: This is the best-value trim if you want a stronger mix of equipment and price. It adds more luxury content than the Core while staying below the Ultimate’s premium pricing, making it the trim most shoppers should start with.
• Ultimate: Choose this if you want the most upscale version of the XC90 and are willing to pay for it. It delivers the richest presentation and is the trim used for the review vehicle, so it represents the most fully equipped expression of the model.

Safety tech is standard across the lineup, so you do not need to move up a trim just to get the core driver-assistance suite.

Should I buy a 2023 Volvo XC90 or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2023 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2023 if:

• 34.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.03% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It brings the B5 and B6 mild-hybrid powertrain update and Google-based infotainment.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $41,625 CAD, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $49,944 CAD average.
• It offers an elegant, quiet cabin with strong safety and an available plug-in hybrid variant.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $56,707 CAD, the 2024 costs more than the current year's $49,944 CAD average.
• It keeps the same appealing design and powertrain range, including a plug-in hybrid option.

The bottom line: If you want the best balance of updated powertrain, strong safety, and softer pricing, the 2023 is the smart default. If your priority is saving money, the 2022 is the better value play; if you want the newer model-year badge and do not mind paying more, the 2024 remains a polished alternative.
