Late last year, Volvo officials suggested that a base XC90 model would eventually accompany the more powerful T6 and T8 models in the United States. Now, Volvo executives have confirmed that a base XC90 in the T5 trim will indeed arrive on U.S. shores.
The base Volvo XC90 T5 is powered by a 2.0 L turbocharged four-cylinder engine, which produces a respectable 250 horsepower and 258 lb.ft. torque. The engine is exclusively back by an eight-speed automatic transmission. Power is sent to the front wheels as standard and optionally to all four wheels.
All XC90 T5 models will feature seating for five occupants while the more powerful XC90 T6 and T8 models can accommodate up to seven people. The base, front-wheel-drive Volvo XC90 T5 starts at $44,945. The optional all-wheel-drive system adds another $2,000 to the base price. Compared to the XC90 T6, the front-wheel-drive, base XC90 T5 is $3,850 cheaper. However, the top-of-the-range Volvo XC90 T8 plug-in hybrid is $22,150 more expensive than the base, front-wheel-drive XC90 T5.
EPA rates the new XC90 T5 FWD at 22/26 city/highway while the AWD models are rated at 22/25 city/highway. The mid-range XC90 T6 with its turbo and supercharged 310 horsepower four-cylinder engine and AWD is rated at 20/25 city/highway. The 400 horsepower XC90 T8 plug-in hybrid is the most efficient model in the range and earns a rating of 24/27 city/highway.
