2026 Volvo XC90: news, photos and prices

2026 Volvo XC90: news, photos and prices

At the end of 2024, we proudly announced the new Volvo XC90 2025.5 with a new exterior design and new technologies, closer to the Volvo EX90.


For the 2026 model year, Volvo is continuing to develop the new Volvo XC90 with a new version, essential equipment for Quebec (which becomes standard for the Core version) and a new colour.


In this article you will find all the essential information you need to know about the 2026 Volvo XC90, available soon at Volvo Cars Saint-Léonard.


New looks for the new Volvo XC90

For readers who haven't yet read the article on the facelift of the new Volvo XC90, it's worth noting that it has evolved with subtlety, particularly at the front where refined headlights are integrated into a redesigned grille with new intersecting diagonal bars. The rear has also been given a facelift, with darker, slimmer lights.



Inside, the cabin is more refined, with a flatter dashboard incorporating top-of-the-range recycled materials, a larger 11.2-inch touchscreen and an upgraded infotainment system, not to mention a cupholder for up to three drinks.





On the technical front, Volvo is retaining its 295 bhp B6 mild-hybrid petrol engine and 455 bhp T8 rechargeable hybrid, with an electric range of up to 53 km.


Dark Theme now available for the 2026 Volvo XC60

For the 2025 model year, it was only possible to order the Volvo XC90 with the Bright theme. For the 2026 Volvo XC90, it is now possible to obtain the Dark Theme exterior with the Plus or Ultra interior finish.


But what does the Dark Theme bring to the table compared to the Bright Theme?


In Volvo's nomenclature, Dark Theme is an exterior styling finish that replaced R-Design from 2023. As a result, when you purchase a 2026 Volvo XC90 in Dark Theme, the car automatically gets a few extra aesthetic elements:


  • Black radiator grille
  • Black rear window surrounds
  • High-gloss black side window trim
  • Roof bars in gloss black
  • Black lower front and rear bumper



Climate Pack now standard on Core versions

One of the notable new features for 2026 is the appearance of the Climate Package as standard from the Core interior trim level.


So, at no extra cost, you get heated rear seats and a heated steering wheel. A not inconsiderable comfort feature for the rather demanding winter conditions in our region.
