No longer do you have to debate the Volvo T5 vs. T6 powertrain options. The B5 and B6 have replaced them. Both new configurations feature a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine attached to a 48-volt mild-hybrid setup. The first option nets you 247 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. You'll accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in a respectable 7.3 seconds, given this vehicle's large size and standard AWD.
The second option supercharges the same 2023 Volvo XC90 engine for a peppier performance of 295 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque, taking off from 0 to 60 mph in 6.4 seconds. Both options can tow 5,000 pounds when properly equipped.
For even more 2023 Volvo XC90 horsepower, consider the Volvo XC90 Recharge. This plug-in hybrid has a four-cylinder turbocharged engine with e-boost technology. Its T8 setup will deliver up to 455 horsepower, 523 pound-feet of torque, and a five-second 0-to-60 time.
