Review: 2021 Volvo XC90 Recharge T8 eAWD Inscription

Volvo Cars continues to set the benchmark for standard safety systems as the brand earns more Top Safety Pick Plus awards by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) than any other company (as of March 2021) since the honors started in 2013. The midsize luxury SUV has also been recognized as one of the Best Family Cars of 2021 by Parents Magazine by which this seven-passenger vehicle was noted for its sleek Scandinavian-inspired design and spacious cabin along with a full suite of standard safety features for which the acclaimed brand is known. Key selection criteria ncluded aspects such as stellar ratings on industry safety tests, car-seat checks, and test-drive assessments of braking, steering, acceleration, and more. To boot, the XC90 has a 5-Star Safety Rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Volvo's vision that no one should be killed or seriously injured in a new Volvo is demonstrated through the company's consistent innovation in new safety features including the introduction of a speed cap, run-off road protection, and new advanced driver assistance systems.

Safety has been the core of our business since 1927, and we always appreciate when prestigious third-party organizations recognize that.

Source: Volvo | The 2021 Volvo XC90 midsize luxury SUV and S90 midsize luxury sedan are projected to have some of the lowest ownership costs over their initial five-year ownership period, according to Kelley Blue Book. The trusted automotive valuation and information source gave each car its 5-Year Cost to Own Award today. The pair join the 2020 V90, which earned the award last year. Starting at $49,000 MSRP the XC90 represents the essence of what a modern Volvo can be and the most popular Volvo car in the United States. The XC90 was completely refreshed for the 2020 model year when a six-seater variant was added, allowing for easier access to the third row of seats. The XC90 features a confident, luxurious take on traditional Scandinavian design. The exterior has strong stance with a subtle, timeless quality and balanced proportions. The interior is a masterful composition of relaxing design, beautiful materials, and the very latest technology, all perfectly blended together. ... Available for new models on Kelley Blue Book's KBB.com, 5-Year Cost to Own information takes into consideration depreciation, expected fuel costs, finance and insurance fees, maintenance and repair costs, and state fees. This data allows new-car shoppers to see the big picture of what a new vehicle will cost them over time, helping them to save money by choosing a vehicle that best meets their needs and their long-term budget. Choosing a car with low ownership costs can help shoppers save a significant amount of money over time—often several hundred and sometimes even thousands of dollars— so it's worthwhile to research the cost to own details of any new car you're considering, said Eric Ibara, director of residual values for Kelley Blue Book.
