Car Profiles - Volvo XC90

VOLVO XC90

10 years later, the XC90 looks the same with no other known changes. But within that year interval, more rivals came to the scene and some had two generation models during the span of time. Sure, it is comfortable and has a practical third row. However, look elsewhere before committing to a decision.
