The VOLVO XC90 (2003-06) 5DR STATION WAGON 2.4 D5 185 SE GTRON AUTO5 is a large, premium family SUV, offering a driving position and space rather than hatchback-sized convenience. It brought Volvo’s safety-minded image to the UK SUV market, competing with models such as the BMW X5 and Land Rover Discovery. The 2.4-litre diesel and automatic gearbox make it suited to family journeys, commuting and towing, while its roomy cabin and road presence appeal to drivers needing flexibility. It often suits families and long-distance drivers, although its size and running costs may feel less convenient in town than a smaller car.
