The new Volvo XC90, traditionally the official car of middle-class Cotswold families. That said, prices are no longer for the squeezed middle, as the XC90 has moved up a level. But as we'll see it has worked hard to justify the increase: the second-gen XC90 isn't new as in "somewhat updated". It's new as in "all-new".

An all-new platform, which has all-new suspension, electrics and driver interface. Even, if you look closely, a redesigned Volvo badge. And-new powertrains.

It still looks like a vast family wagon to me.

Yup, big on the outside and seemingly even bigger within. There are three rows of very habitable seats, and luggage space behind that. It's also endlessly versatile, thanks to any number of sliding, reclining and folding permutations. All seats have a surprisingly good view out too, thanks to their careful 'theatre' positioning and glassy sides.
