What we like

Considering this is effectively a very light facelift of a car that’s been around since 2015, the Volvo XC90 still stands up as a very impressive premium SUV with room for seven. It’s effortless to drive with smooth and powerful engines, and is a great option for long distances.

If it’s important to you, the Volvo’s image could also be a winner – it’s less brash than rivals such as the Audi Q7, BMW X5 and Mercedes-Benz GLE.

What we don’t like

It can’t compete with the interior roominess or go-anywhere skills of Land Rover’s Discovery. Considering how much it costs to buy, needing to use a cable to get Android Auto working is an unforgivable oversight – especially considering a Dacia Sandero gets its wireless counterpart.

The T8 can save you money when fully charged but be warned – it has a penchant for unleaded when the battery is flat, so expect frequent visits to filling stations.
