Volvo XC – XC60, XC70 and XC90 from the home plant in Torslanda near Gothenburg: five- to eight-cylinder engines from 2,400 to 4,414 cc, 120 kW, D5 diesel and Yamaha-built V8, 1,814 to 2,204 kg kerb weight
The XC range comprises the XC60, XC70 and XC90 models from Volvo's home plant in Torslanda near Gothenburg. The XC90 was Volvo's first SUV from 2002 and offered a choice of the five-cylinder D5 diesel, a six-cylinder petrol engine, or the 4.4-litre V8 built by Yamaha; the XC70 is the off-road-capable estate variant based on the V70, while the XC60 has been the brand's more compact SUV since 2008.

The register lists 6 versions with 120 kW, displacements of 2,400 to 4,414 cc from five- to eight-cylinder engines, kerb weights of 1,814 to 2,204 kg, gross vehicle weights of 2,220 to 2,770 kg, lengths of 4,730 to 4,760 mm and widths of 1,850 to 1,930 mm.
In the premium segment for SUVs and off-road-capable estates, the XC range competes with the BMW X5, Mercedes-Benz M-/GLE-Class and Audi Allroad; Volvo has traditionally positioned the range around the brand's focus on safety and Scandinavian-influenced interior design.
When buying used, check the turbocharger and injectors on the D5 diesel, the condition of the suspension bushings and the optional rear air suspension, the Haldex coupling of the all-wheel-drive system, and — rarer than on other brands thanks to the galvanised body — localised rust on bolt-on panels, plus the service history of timing belt or timing chain changes depending on the engine variant; parts are readily available through Volvo's broad dealer network.
