Volvo has decided to refresh the XC90, bringing it out as a "2025-1/2" model with a new look and a redesigned interior to keep it competitive.

Fully redesigned with a special focus on the grille, which gets a new take on Volvo's diagonal motif.

The interior also gets a welcome refresh with design, material, and technology updates, new and bigger center touchscreen, which grows from 9.0 inches to 11.2 inches and gets the same updated user experience as the newer EX30 and EX90 SUVs.

The standard suspension has been upgraded to include Volvo's Frequency Selective Damping (FSD) technology.
The new model is still offered with a trio of powertrains.
The standard hybrid models feature a new combustion cycle for better efficiency.
The B5 and B6 hybrid options both pair with a 48-volt electric motor, with the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine good for 247 horsepower in the base model and 295 in the B6.
The T8 plug-in-hybrid model can still travel 70 kms in electric mode thanks to the 14.7-kWh battery.
The plug-in still generates a combined 455 horsepower and 523 pound-feet of torque.
All three powertrains feature all-wheel drive and connect to an eight-speed automatic transmission.

The pre-facelift interior looked way classier in my opinion - the infotainment system on this one looks like a cheap android aftermarket fitment

Overall though, a welcome facelift - the older model still looked amazing but was getting too long in the tooth!

I think it looks quite nice - especially that grille.

Any word on new features, price etc?

Volvo used to be a brand that made absolutely horrible car designs. but then switched over to making some true works of art such as the S60, S90, etc. But I am not a fan of this new "Thor Hammer" DRLs and the assymetricity in the grill. Turns out simplicity & modernisation does not always work well with class, and it is quite evident here. The older generation had way better looking headlights and a better looking bumper too.

You are very much right, the touchscreen looks like an afterthought.
