Overview
The Volvo XC90 is a seven-seat executive SUV for families who want all-wheel drive and an automatic transmission in a premium-format vehicle. The Mk2 Facelift 2 range starts from RM418,888, with a 263 hp mild-hybrid B5 or a 462 hp plug-in-hybrid T8 available.
XC90 in 2026 — what's new
The 2026 XC90 carries the Mk2 Facelift 2 introduced in 2025, with Ultra B5 mild-hybrid and Ultra T8 plug-in-hybrid versions. Aurora Silver is the new colour for the 2026 facelift. Both get AWD, an automatic gearbox and seven seats. Volvo has announced a 2027 XC90 T8 Long Range AWD PHEV with a claimed 162 km WLTP electric range and Google Gemini AI.
Which variant to buy
Most buyers should choose the Ultra B5 at RM418,888. It has 263 hp, AWD, an automatic transmission and seven seats, while costing RM16,000 less than the Ultra T8 at RM434,888. Pay more for the T8 if the plug-in-hybrid drivetrain and its 462 hp output matter to you. On paper, the RM16,000 gap buys a different powertrain and substantially more power, not a stated equipment change, so check the final equipment list before signing.
Verdict
The XC90's case is straightforward: it combines seven seats with AWD and an automatic transmission in an executive SUV package. The B5 is the lower-cost route into the range, while the T8 brings 199 hp more and plug-in-hybrid capability for RM16,000 extra. It also serves buyers who prefer the driving position and format of an SUV to a conventional seven-seat people carrier.
