If you’re in the market for a premium three-row luxury SUV, come experience the 2027 Volvo XC90. Its whisper-quiet cabin, updated tech features, and upscale Scandinavian exterior styling promise to impress. When shopping for a new XC90, some drivers will be choosing between the Core B5 and Plus B5 trim levels. Here’s an overview of how these two XC90 trims compare.
Performance
Both of these trims come equipped with Volvo’s proven B5 powertrain. Under the hood is a 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system. It’s rated to produce a satisfying 247 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque. An eight-speed automatic transmission sends power to a standard AWD system. If you plan to take a rugged adventure, switching to the XC90’s Off-Road mode will help you tackle rough terrain. When properly equipped, the SUV can confidently tow up to 5,000 pounds.
Appearance
The XC90 Core B5 is a stylish entry-level trim. It features several striking exterior elements, including signature Thor’s Hammer LED headlights and a refined front grille. Meanwhile, standard 20-inch alloy wheels give the SUV a prominent stance. Premium exterior colors, such as Crystal White Pearl and Vapour Grey Metallic, further enhance the SUV’s appearance. While the XC90 Plus B5 shares many of the same exterior styling cues, Volvo outfits it with larger 21-inch alloy wheels.
Features
Several popular features come equipped on the Core B5 trim. Technology lovers will enjoy the new infotainment system, which features an 11.2-inch center touchscreen with Google built-in. Nordico sustainable upholstery gives the cabin an upscale feel. To help ensure top-tier passenger safety, Volvo equips the SUV with advanced driver-assistance features such as Collision Avoidance and Intersection Support. Other highlights include a panoramic sunroof, heated front and rear seats, wireless device charging, and a 12.3-inch digital driver display.
The Plus B5 trim brings several premium upgrades. While music listeners can enjoy the newly standard Harman Kardon premium audio system, a 360-degree surround-view camera system and Park Assist help reduce driving stress. Acoustic side-window glass and integrated rear-door sun curtains add to the XC90 Plus B5’s luxuriousness.
