Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

For 2019, the XC90 has no major powertrain updates but some new standard features and updated option packages. Every model now has updated infotainment software, third-row seating, heated washer nozzles, a 12-volt outlet in the cargo area, and four-zone climate control, among other things. The higher trim levels have a Harman/Kardon premium stereo, navigation, sun shades in the rear side windows, and a tailored dashboard and upper door panels. The headlight washing system and full LED headlights with automatic high-beams are no longer standard on the R-Design and Inscription.

Pros
Astonishingly beautiful,
solid driving dynamics,
safety by Volvo.

Cons
Can approach starter-home prices,
minor powertrain flaws,
base trim lacks the lineup's best features.

The 2019 Volvo XC90 is a standout effort from the Swedish brand, offering style, luxury, and practicality in a way many other luxury SUVs don’t.

Pros
Svelte Swedish looks
Less-is-more interior
Tablet-like infotainment
Wide variety of models and trims
Standard safety tech

Cons
Not worth six figures at top end
Base powertrain lacks oomph
Rear seats could use more support
Questionable materials in places

The 2019 Volvo XC90 ranked #19 in Luxury Midsize SUVs. Currently the Volvo XC90 has a score of 8.0 out of 10 which is based on our evaluation of 35 pieces of research and data elements using various sources.

Pros
Elegant interior quality
Long list of standard safety and tech features
Exceptional passenger space and cargo room

Cons
Underwhelming base engine
Unrefined transmission
Below-average predicted reliability rating

By:

The 2021 Maserati Levante is unranked in Luxury Midsize SUVs due to missing safety data. Currently, the Maserati Levante's overall score is not available, though its Critics' Rating, Performance score, and Interior score are based on our evaluation of 25 pieces of research and data.

Pros
Tremendous engine power
Dynamic handling
Intuitive infotainment system

Cons
Poor gas mileage
Some unimpressive cabin materials and subpar cargo capacity
Much more expensive than most class rivals

By: 
usnews.com

Updated driver display and infotainment screens for 2021.

PROS
Quick acceleration
Stable and lively handling
Not your typical German luxury SUV

CONS
Some downmarket buttons and switches
Short on cargo space

By: 
edmunds.com

The Levante receives Maserati's new infotainment interface for 2021, but unlike its sedan siblings—the Ghibli and Quattroporte—it sticks with an 8.4-inch display. The new software is based on Google's Android Automotive and offers a voice-activated virtual assistant, in-dash navigation, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto; a wireless charging pad is also new this year.

Pros
Seductive exterior styling,
growling exhaust note,
quick acceleration times.

Cons
Second-class interior switches,
not as cargo-friendly as the competition,
expensive pricing.
