The XC90 has three different drivetrain options. The base choice is called the B5. It's a 250-horsepower turbo four-cylinder with a mild-hybrid setup. This engine provides plenty of power to get around Old Lyme, CT, giving you up to 247 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. The B6 boosts the power of the XC90 by providing you with up to 295 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. With this extra power, the B6 has a noticeable boost to its acceleration and feels fun to drive.

There's also a plug-in hybrid T8 powertrain on the XC90 Recharge. The T8 takes the engine from the B6 and adds on two electric motors, increasing the power output up to 455 horsepower and 523 pound-feet of torque. As a plug-in hybrid powertrain, it can drive for up to 35 miles on just electric power, allowing you to save on gas around Groton, CT.

The XC90 has a very generous tech suite. It has a 9.0-inch touchscreen with both Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. Navigation and wireless charging are both standard features, as is a pair of USB ports. The menu has a simple, responsive layout, although most functions do not have physical controls. Most features are built into the base trim, but there are a few important options, like a panoramic moonroof, a digital instrument display and a four-zone automatic climate control.

The XC90 has been repeatedly named a Top Safety Pick+ by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. This signifies outstanding results on crash and safety-feature tests. The XC90 has a full set of driver-assist safety features, as well, which are all included in the base trim. You'll find automatic emergency braking, blind spot monitoring and adaptive cruise control standard in the XC90.
