| Road Test |
The 2009 Volvo XC90 caters to American tastes with its optional V-8 engine, but otherwise it’s built for safety-minded families who need an all-wheel-drive SUV, though third-row room is strictly limited. Available since 2005, the XC90 still looks fresh and well proportioned; its basic shape is aging well, inside and out. The cabin’s interior is laid out handsomely and dressed in conservative-looking but expensive-feeling trim.
