For 2013, the refreshed Volvo XC90 receives a bold new look, along with an enhanced roster of standard features inside and out. The result is the most significantly updated XC90 since its launch a decade ago as one of the first luxury crossover SUVs.

Volvo's flagship XC90 provides standard seating for seven passengers, satisfying performance from its six-cylinder engine, front or optional all-wheel drive and versatile cargo space.

A fully color-coordinated exterior makes the 2013 Volvo XC90 look sleeker and lower to the ground. Design elements include new body color front and rear bumpers, sill moldings and wheel arches. Enhancing the visual magnetism are new standard LED daytime running lights and taillights.

Buyers can select the base XC90 3.2 and R-Design, or move up to the Premier Plus and Platinum trim levels for each. The XC90 3.2's cabin gains exquisite luxury accents, including sanded silver aluminum inlays, white instrumentation lighting and a leather strap on the tailgate.

Premier Plus and Platinum trim levels receive standard Sovereign hide soft leather seating surfaces, red wood inlays and gearshift knob and Executive floor mats. A red wood steering wheel is a new option for both trim levels. All XC90s gain standard rain sensor windshield wipers and headlight washers. All XC90s feature an audio streaming connection for the standard Bluetooth. Drivers can listen to music from their compatible cellphones via the XC90's audio system.

The XC90's 3.2-liter six-cylinder engine is a naturally aspirated powerplant that delivers 240 horsepower and 236 lb.-ft. of torque. A six-speed "Geartronic" automatic transmission is standard. All-wheel drive with Instant Traction is optional on all XC90s.
