The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety is tightening its crash-test requirements for its coveted Top Safety Pick and Top Safety Pick+ awards, resulting in fewer winners for 2025.

For those who aren’t ready to make the all-electric transition to the Volvo ES90 sedan, the S90 is still available with mild- and plug-in hybrid powertrains.

Volvo will offer the ES90 in either a single-motor rear-wheel-drive configuration or with dual motors and all-wheel drive in two levels of output.

With the only other change for 2025 being a slightly larger battery pack for the dual-motor variant, the former XC40 Recharge just adds to everything we already liked about it.

With the all-electric ES90, Volvo won’t be abandoning the sedans that forged its reputation — and the first of its EV-era cars arrives soon.

Read on to see which vehicles and brands rose to the top of J.D. Power’s 2025 U.S. Vehicle Dependability Study in terms of reliability.

Inside the 2026 Volvo XC60 is a new 11.2-inch touchscreen that overflows the space occupied by its predecessor, standing a couple of inches above the plane of the dashboard.

The auto-industry analysts at J.D. Power say vehicles built during the COVID-19 pandemic are more problematic than those manufactured any year since 2009.

The 2025 Volvo V60 Cross Country carries over into the new model year unchanged, but the V60 Recharge has been discontinued.

Cross Country is Volvo’s branding for jacked-up station wagons wearing black lower body cladding; apply that aesthetic to an electric SUV and you have the EX30 version.
