2026 Volvo XC90 Core vs. Plus vs. Ultra

Core

As the first of the 2026 Volvo XC90 trim levels, the Core model is an excellent choice with numerous practical features. Slip into this base model to enjoy a panoramic roof, a heated steering wheel, four-zone climate control, and heated front and rear outboard seats.

With a host of advanced technologies, this vehicle is ready to entertain the little ones while you focus on getting to your destination safely. We have a variety of modern technologies to thank for that, including:

• Wireless phone charging
• 11.2-inch touchscreen
• Rain Sensor
• Adaptive Cruise Control
• Pilot Assist

Plus

The Plus trim is the middle of the trio, and its primary focus is enhancing convenience and awareness. It benefits from all the same features as the Core model, including the new Nordico upholstery – the brand's synthetic upholstery meant to offer a durable experience. You'll also get those heated front and rear seats, heated steering wheel, 11.2-inch touchscreen, and panoramic roof that lets in all that beautiful Georgia sunshine.

Furthermore, the Plus allows you to swap out the second-row bench seat for a pair of captain's chairs. This lowers your seating capacity to six, but enhances second-row comfort.

Although the Plus is similar to the Core, it gets a few enhancements. For one, the wheels get an upgrade to 21 inches (the Core comes standard with a 20-inch set). An integrated booster cushion, additional Park Assist Sensors, and a 360-Degree Camera are also among the model's appointments.

Ultra

With the Ultra variant, you get the ultimate driving experience that the Volvo XC90 has to offer. You'll have the same powertrain options as the Core and Plus (either the B5 AWD or B6 AWD setup) and seating configurations as the Plus (six- or seven-passenger seating).

No matter the combination you choose, you'll be getting an impressively appointed cabin. At this level, the audio system gets upgraded to provide high-fidelity sound via a Harman Kardon® unit with 14 speakers and an air-ventilated subwoofer. A Head-Up Display also comes standard, projecting your pertinent driving data directly against the windshield to provide you with all the information you need without glancing away from the road.

Other additions include Gray Ash decor, ventilated Nappa leather upholstery, front seat ventilation, power four-way lumbar support, and rear door sun curtains, among other features.
