Three years ago, Volvo was busy promoting the new midsize crossover SUV in its lineup. As the XC90 celebrates its third birthday in the automotive world, the automaker is already reaping what it has sown. The Volvo XC90 now shows apparent signs of power, stability and success. Additionally, merchants are reporting high claims and residual values.

The Volvo XC90 is based on the P2 platform, the same platform as the S80 and other huge vehicles from the automaker. According to automotive statistics, the XC90 is Volvo’s best-selling vehicle in the United States. In addition, almost 25 percent of Volvo’s US share is attributed to that vehicle.

The vehicle received the V8 engine in 2005. Said engine generates 311 horsepower and 325 ft-lbf of torque. The latest version of this vehicle debuted at the New York Auto Show. This version was subtly redesigned. It was given a more sophisticated interior and small trim at the front and rear. However, it still runs on quality Volvo XC90 parts.
According to Parker, A Car Buying Guide, the Volvo XC90’s versatile seven-seat layout and car-like driving characteristics have ensured its popularity in the used car market. The most popular five-cylinder D5 turbodiesel engine model is in special demand, usually commanding a premium over the faster six-cylinder T6 petrol engine variant.

In parentheses, the value of said vehicle rose significantly. “The Volvo XC90 appeals to drivers who want the safety of a vehicle with a higher driving position, all-wheel drive and unrivaled Volvo safety,” says Simon Harris, consumer editor at Parker. “It has shown that it has the premium badge appeal to compete with other prestigious brands in the sector. Long waiting lists when the car was launched ensured a level of pent-up demand and we are seeing strong demand for the Volvo XC90 as the first.” . Three-year-old examples hit the used market.”

Anne Woodward, Volvo Product Manager for Used Cars, also noted: “The XC90’s clever design compared to other SUVs has made it a huge hit. We’ve seen a huge increase in people searching online for an XC90 in the Volvo Select Used Car Locator on the Volvo Cars website and we are delighted that more customers are enjoying the XC90 and the benefits of owning a used Volvo purchased through our Select Used Car Program.”
