2009 Volvo XC90 AWD - Volvo Crossover SUV Review - Automobile Magazine
Yes, the XC90 is starting to show its age, but the qualities for which Volvo is best known - its safety features - are still there in spades.

Boy is this vehicle getting old. From the antiquated dash design to the squeaks and rattles around town, I think it's time for Volvo to start thinking about launching a new 3-row SUV. Additionally, the 3.2-liter inline-six isn't any smoother than most V-6 engines and the fuel economy of this XC90 is not impressive.
