2023 Volvo XC90 Recharge Plug-In Hybrid

After repeatedly topping the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s list of most stolen cars in recent years, the Dodge Charger has been replaced in the top 20 of this year’s study by another muscle car.

There are lots of choices among the cheaper-to-buy-and-drive mid-size SUVs that, when properly configured, can safely tow at least 5,000 pounds.

Significant powertrain upgrades doubled the 2023 XC90 Recharge’s electric-only range while also bringing an increase in power.

With a longer electric-only range and more power, the updated 2023 XC90 Recharge is a considerably better electrified three-row SUV than the previous model.

IIHS has released its list of Top Safety Picks for 2023, which includes 48 models across both Top Safety Pick and Top Safety Pick+ categories — less than half compared to the 101 models that qualified in 2022.
