This video provides a comprehensive POV night drive of the 2025.5 Volvo XC90 T8 Ultra, highlighting its enduring design and updated features. The reviewer notes the XC90's graceful aging, with subtle exterior revisions like a new grille and headlights, alongside a redesigned cabin. The T8 Ultra trim, priced around $68,000 (as tested $88,695), offers a potent plug-in hybrid powertrain delivering 455 hp, combining a 2.0L turbocharged engine with a 145-hp electric motor and a 18.8 kWh battery for an estimated 32 miles of electric-only range. The review touches upon the standard all-wheel drive, the 8-speed automatic transmission, and the impressive 0-60 acceleration. While the core platform remains from 2014, the updates keep the XC90 competitive, particularly its luxurious interior and strong performance figures.
