Year to Year Changes
2004 Volvo XC90:
Restyled 17-inch wheels, an optional leather-wrapped gearshift knob, and a keyfob with integrated remote locking were among the few revisions for 2004.
2005 Volvo XC90:
Volvo's first-ever V8 engine became available for the XC90, and would soon replace the T6's six-cylinder. The V8's six-speed automatic transmission had a manual shift gate. Every V8 model had all-wheel drive.
2006 Volvo XC90:
Volvo offered 2.5T and V8 models in 2006; the six-cylinder T6 was gone. Standard with the V8, a third-row seat was otherwise part of a Versatility option package. Seven-passenger versions had a rear load-leveling suspension, plus third-row climate and audio controls.
2007 Volvo XC90:
A revamped base version, new options, cosmetic tweaks, and a new model highlighted this car-type SUV for 2007. XC90 seats up to seven and came in three models. For 2007, the base version was called the 3.2. It had a 235-hp inline 6-cyl engine and replaced the 2.5T model, which had a 208-hp turbocharged 5-cyl. The V8 model returned with 311 hp. New for '07, the Sport model added unique trim, sport suspension and 19-inch wheels to the V8.
2008 Volvo XC90:
The 2008 Volvo XC90 got minor trim changes. The Sport model added unique interior and exterior trim, sport suspension, and 19-inch wheels in place of 18s. Newly standard for all models was an auto-dimming rearview mirror.
