Compare three-row Volvo SUVs, flexible five-seat models, cargo space, towing capability, child-friendly features and electric options before choosing the vehicle that fits your household.
The short version
- XC90: six or seven seats, up to 85.7 cu. ft. of cargo room and up to 5,000 lb of towing.
- EX90: fully electric, six or seven seats, and up to 305 miles of EPA-estimated range on qualifying AWD configurations.
- XC60: a five-seat midsize SUV with up to 63.3 cu. ft. of cargo room and up to 3,500 lb of towing.
- XC40 / V60 Cross Country: practical five-seat choices when you want smaller dimensions or a wagon instead of a three-row SUV.
Start with passenger count, cargo and daily routine
For many households, the most useful first question is whether you truly need a third row. The XC90 and EX90 are Volvo's main six- or seven-seat choices. They give families extra passenger flexibility while letting individual seats fold when cargo space matters more.
If five seats are enough, the XC60, XC40 and V60 Cross Country can be easier to park and live with every day. The XC60 gives you midsize SUV space, the XC40 is more compact, and the V60 Cross Country provides a lower wagon body with standard all-wheel drive.
Plan around real family cargo
Strollers, sports bags, groceries, school gear, car seats and weekend luggage can matter more than brochure headlines. Look closely at seat-folding flexibility, cargo-floor shape, tailgate access, storage cubbies and available parking-camera systems during a test drive.
XC90 or EX90: two ways to get a three-row Volvo
The 2026 XC90 is the familiar choice for families who want six or seven seats with mild-hybrid gasoline power. It offers up to 85.7 cubic feet of maximum cargo capacity, up to 5,000 pounds of towing when properly equipped and three rows of individually reclining seats.
The 2026 EX90 takes the family-SUV idea in a fully electric direction. Volvo describes it as a six- or seven-seat family SUV, and qualifying AWD versions are EPA-estimated for up to 305 miles of range. The third row can power-fold, while storage and cupholders are distributed throughout the cabin.
XC90 makes sense when...
You want three rows, strong towing capability and fast gasoline refueling without moving to a fully electric vehicle.
EX90 makes sense when...
You want a fully electric three-row Volvo and have a practical charging plan at home, work or along the routes you regularly travel.
Five-seat Volvo choices for smaller households
XC60 — midsize SUV balance
Five seats, up to 63.3 cubic feet of maximum cargo space and up to 3,500 pounds of towing when properly equipped make the XC60 a useful middle ground for families that do not need a third row.
XC40 — compact SUV practicality
The XC40 seats five, offers up to 57.5 cubic feet of maximum cargo space and can tow up to 3,500 pounds when properly equipped. Its shorter footprint can make parking easier.
V60 Cross Country — wagon alternative
The five-seat V60 Cross Country combines standard all-wheel drive with a lower wagon body. Volvo lists up to 60.5 cubic feet of cargo capacity and up to 2,000 pounds of towing.
