What Kind of Gas Mileage Can You Expect From the Volvo XC90?

You deserve a sophisticated crossover that treats you well on the streets of New Orleans. Many drivers make their way to Bergeron Volvo Cars to explore the cars and crossovers we carry, and one model always seems to stand out: the Volvo XC90. The new XC90 offers a beautiful balance of style, functionality, and performance, making it an excellent choice for drivers from Hammond and beyond.

One common question that we receive at our Metairie Volvo dealership remains, "What kind of gas mileage can I get from the Volvo XC90?" Sure, you want a luxury vehicle that can cross off your checklist of nice-to-have features, but decent fuel economy remains one must-have item. Let's explore the mileage you can expect from our Volvo crossovers.

First, you should consider the importance of fuel efficiency when compared to other aspects of the vehicle. Do you want all-wheel drive or reduced fuel consumption? Would you prefer technological or interior upgrades over gas mileage? Our Volvo sales team would argue that you do not have to give up any of your preferences, as all Volvo SUVs give you a nice fusion of luxury and performance. The front-wheel drive (FWD) models of the 2021 Volvo XC90 tend to get better gas mileage than their all-wheel drive (AWD) counterparts.

Second, which trim level do you prefer for your daily drives through Covington? The Volvo XC90 comes in several premium trims, and each offers advantages outside of fuel economy. You can choose from the following trim levels:

• Volvo XC90 T5 Momentum
• XC90 T5 R-Design
• XC90 T6 R-Design
• XC90 T6 Momentum
• XC90 T6 Inscription
• XC90 Recharge

The T5 and T6 powertrain options provide you with an Eco Mode to maximize your efficiency. When you engage the Eco Mode, you can experience lower fuel consumption levels and reduced emissions as you cruise through Slidell.

According to the EPA, the 2021 Volvo XC90 FWD models equipped with the 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine offer up to 21 mpg in the city, 30 mpg on the highway, and 25 mpg combined. These models include the XC90 T5 Momentum and the XC90 T5 R-Design.

The XC90 AWD models offer up to 19 mpg city, 28 mpg highway, and 22 mpg combined. Models include the XC90 T6 Momentum, T6 R-Design, and T6 Inscription.

How does the new Volvo XC90 Recharge plug-in hybrid stack up to its premium fuel counterparts? It offers up to 27 miles per gallon combined fuel economy and 55 MPGe combined when utilizing gas and electric power.

When you decide to drive the 2021 Volvo XC90, we hope that you will contact us for a test drive and to inquire about our new car specials. We cannot wait to get you on the roads of New Orleans in a stylish new vehicle!
