Volvo XC90: real-world fuel consumption
Fuel meter readings from 73,140 Volvo XC90 cars reported in 2024, split by engine.
Excluding plug-in hybrids, the average is 8.4 L/100 km on the road against 6.9 officially (21% above official).
Lowest real-world consumption: Diesel hybrid · 173 kW (235 hp) at 8.3 L/100 km.
Every engine: official vs real
| Engine | cars | Official (WLTP) | Real world | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Diesel · 173 kW (235 hp) | 684 | 6.7 | 8.4 | +24% |
| Hybrid · 184 kW (250 hp) | 1,760 | 8.7 | 10.4 | +20% |
| Hybrid · 220 kW (299 hp) | 458 | 8.9 | 11.1 | +25% |
| Diesel hybrid · 173 kW (235 hp) | 25,295 | 6.9 | 8.3 | +21% |
| Diesel hybrid · 180 kW (245 hp) | 296 | 7.1 | 8.6 | +21% |
Engines with fewer than 100 cars in the data are not shown. Hybrid includes mild hybrids (48 V) as registered by the manufacturer.
Plug-in hybrid
| Engine | cars | Official (WLTP) | Real world | Electric share | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Plug-in hybrid · 228 kW (310 hp) | 34,363 | 1.4 | 7.5 | 26% | +451% |
| Plug-in hybrid · 223 kW (303 hp) | 9,871 | 2.9 | 8.6 | 18% | +196% |
| Plug-in hybrid · 233 kW (317 hp) | 365 | 2.9 | 8.9 | 18% | +202% |
The official WLTP figure for plug-in hybrids assumes a share of electric driving based on range. When cars are charged less often than assumed, real consumption is far higher.
By reporting year
| cars | Real world | |
|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 2,402 | 8.4 |
| 2022 | 8,181 | 8.3 |
| 2023 | 14,254 | 8.3 |
| 2024 | 28,537 | 8.4 |
The same cars are reported again each year with their lifetime totals, so years are not added together.
