Power is delivered through the AWF8G55 8-speed automatic gearbox with a final drive ratio of 3.329. Gear ratios are calibrated to balance power and efficiency. The first gear ratio of 5.057 supports confident starts, while higher gears taper down to 0.661 in eighth for economical cruising. Reverse gear is set at 3.992 for reliable maneuvering.
This configuration enables the 2025 Volvo V90 Cross Country to accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in 6.4 seconds. Top speed is electronically limited to 180 kilometers per hour.
Fuel Consumption and Emissions
The 2025 Volvo V90 Cross Country demonstrates efficiency within the WLTP testing cycle. On low-speed cycles, consumption is between 11.8 and 13.0 liters per 100 kilometers with associated COâ‚‚ emissions of 268 to 295 grams per kilometer. Medium-speed cycles record 8.1 to 8.6 liters per 100 kilometers with 184 to 195 grams of COâ‚‚ per kilometer. High-speed conditions yield 7.0 to 7.5 liters per 100 kilometers with emissions between 158 and 169 grams per kilometer.
Extra-high cycles are measured at 8.1 to 8.8 liters per 100 kilometers and 184 to 200 grams of COâ‚‚ per kilometer. Combined cycle efficiency is set at 8.3 to 8.9 liters per 100 kilometers with COâ‚‚ output between 187 and 202 grams per kilometer. These results confirm effective balance between power and environmental performance.
Suspension, Steering, and Braking Systems
The chassis design uses a double wishbone suspension with coil springs, hydraulic shock absorbers, and a stabilizer bar at the front. At the rear, an integral axle with a transverse composite leaf spring ensures consistent support, paired with hydraulic shock absorbers and a stabilizer bar. Buyers can select optional rear air suspension, which enhances ride comfort and adjusts for varying load conditions.
Steering is controlled by an electric power-assisted rack-and-pinion system. This results in a curb-to-curb turning circle of 11.6 meters and a wall-to-wall circle of 12.0 meters, depending on rim size. Braking systems integrate Antilock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD), and Electronic Brake Assistance (EBA). Stopping distance from 100 kilometers per hour to zero is 35 meters.
Brake disc dimensions vary by configuration. The front discs measure 322 millimeters or 345 millimeters in diameter with thicknesses of 28 millimeters or 30 millimeters. Rear discs measure 320 millimeters in diameter and 20 millimeters in thickness.
Exterior Dimensions and Ground Clearance
The exterior length of the 2025 Volvo V90 Cross Country is 495.9 centimeters, with a wheelbase of 294.1 centimeters. Body width measures 187.9 centimeters, expanding to 190.3 centimeters at the fenders, and 205.2 centimeters including mirrors. Vehicle height is 154.3 centimeters at curb weight including the shark fin antenna, adjusting slightly to 153.7 centimeters with one occupant.
Ground clearance is 20.1 centimeters at curb weight and 19.5 centimeters with one occupant. Approach angle is measured at 18.9 degrees, breakover angle at 17.7 degrees, and departure angle at 20.8 degrees. Aerodynamic efficiency is supported by a drag coefficient between 0.35 and 0.37.
