Author: Gary WhiteThere are many good reasons why Volvo are continuing to produce the second generation of the V90 model. The Volvo V90 has been in production since 1996 and it is still a very popular choice of tow car. This is shown by the number of reviews which are consistently positive.
The smaller version of the Volvo V90 has external dimensions of 4,963 x 1,879 x 1,543 millimeters and a wheelbase of 2,941 millimeters making it a typical size of tow car in its class. The V90 is only available with five doors and five seats. The boot holds at least 1,526 litres (with the seats folded down). With the seats up you still get a minimum of 500 liters.
The Volvo V90 is available with petrol engines, diesel engines or as hybrids. An unladen weight of only 1,832 to 2,150 kilograms makes the mid-range car comparatively light, which has a very good effect on issues such as fuel consumption and vehicle performance when towing. If you ever want to take a trailer with you (Petrol), diesel and hybrid engines can take up to a 750kg unbraked trailer. The braked trailer load is between 1,800 kg and 2,500 kg, depending on the engine.
Can a Volvo V90 tow?
All models of the Volvo V90 produced since 2016 can tow. The Volvo V90 D4 (190 PS) is the most solid choice for a towing car according to our users. The V90 model with the most horsepower is the T6 (320 hp). A lot of horsepower is not always the main argument for a good tow car but according to Volvo the T8 (320 hp) requires the least fuel of all drives. As a hybrid engine, however, it is the best choice from an environmental point of view.Is a Volvo V90 a good tow car?
