As anticipated from Volvo, the 2025 XC90’s exterior showcases subtle yet evolutionary enhancements over its predecessor.

However, Volvo has preserved its signature Thor’s Hammer LED element. Additionally, the reprofiled front bumper now incorporates a revised air dam.
The XC90’s side profile remains unaltered but will feature newly designed alloy wheels, likely maintaining the current model’s 21-inch size. At the rear, the overall look is familiar, with minor updates such as a new bumper adorned with a horizontal chrome strip and subtly redesigned LED taillamps. There are now six colour options on offer including a new new Mulberry Red shade.
