The Car Stuff Podcast's latest episode covers significant automotive news, including the surprise resignation of Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares and its market impact. The review of the 2025.5 Volvo XC90 highlights a substantial refresh with updated exterior styling, particularly the grille, and a significantly improved infotainment system featuring Google built-in and enhanced Apple CarPlay integration. While the reviewer found the new system vastly superior to the old tile-based interface, the core driving dynamics remain focused on luxury and comfort rather than sportiness, aligning with Volvo's brand ethos. Pricing for the XC90 ranges from approximately $58,000 for the base B5 trim to $80,000 for the T8 plug-in hybrid, with the model year designation of '25.5' noted as a peculiar but present detail in the market.
