The Volvo XC90 is packed with safety and utility features, including some that are unavailable in most other luxury SUVs. The XC90 is as good or better than its competitors at hauling children around. It offers superior passenger/cargo flexibility with a ton of space at a luxury-class competitive price.The base XC90 2.5T uses a quiet, proven engine with good power and a smooth five-speed automatic. It delivers ample acceleration for all situations, good gas mileage and ultra-low emissions. The T6 is quicker, but more expensive and less fuel-efficient and comes with a four-speed automatic. The V8 is fast, still more expensive, and likely will put the XC90 on some shopping lists for the first time. The XC90 offers all-wheel drive for winter driving and light off-highway capability. New Car Test Drive correspondent Sam Moses reports from the Columbia River Gorge, with Larry Edsall in Goteborg, Sweden, and Mitch McCullough in Los Angeles.
