2025 Volvo XC90 Towing Capacity Information

The XC90 is an immensely popular vehicle, thanks to a blend of luxury and utility that no other manufacturer has quite managed to match. That includes things like comfortable seating for up to seven, and standard all-wheel drive. The XC90 also makes for a great towing vehicle, adding another layer of usefulness to the XC90 that further sets it apart from its competitors. There are a few important details to know about towing with the XC90.

XC90 Drivetrains

---

Drivetrain	Horsepower	Torque	Fuel Economy (combined)	0-60 Time	Towing Capacity
B5	247	266 lb-ft	26 MPG	7.3 seconds	5,000 pounds
B6	295	310 lb-ft	23 MPG	6.4 seconds	5,000 pounds
T8	455	523 lb-ft	58 MPGe	5.0 seconds	5,000 pounds

There are three drivetrains offered for the XC90, including the T8 plug-in hybrid. While the XC90 Plug-In Hybrid is technically a different model, we’re including it for the sake of thoroughness. There are some important differences between these drivetrains, but since all of them come with standard all-wheel drive, these differences mainly boil down to performance and fuel economy. All of them also offer the same 5,000-pound towing capacity as well, which means that the choice of drivetrain can be a matter of personal preference even for people who want to use the XC90 as a towing vehicle. In addition to this impressive towing capacity, the XC90 also has a roof carrying capacity of 220 pounds, again the same across all drivetrains.
