Volvo XC90 2024
The 2024 Volvo XC90 Base belongs to the SUV’s second generation, introduced from 2015 and built on Volvo’s SPA platform. In Base trim, it serves as the entry point to the 2024 lineup while keeping the XC90’s core character: a strong focus on safety, a high level of comfort, and an interior designed around space. Compared with the first generation, the modern XC90 is defined by a newer architecture, more efficient powertrains, and more advanced onboard technology. In 2024, the Base version therefore acts as the most accessible expression of the model without departing from the XC90’s established identity.
History
The Volvo XC90 was first shown at the Detroit Auto Show in 2002. At the time, it was a large SUV based on Volvo’s P2 platform, a foundation that carried the first generation through 2014. Production initially took place in Sweden before moving to China at the end of that period. The first XC90 built its reputation quickly thanks to its safety and comfort, and it was named “SUV of the Year” in 2003.
The second generation arrived in 2015 and represented a major shift. Volvo moved the XC90 onto the Scalable Product Architecture platform, giving the model a more modern technical base. That change brought greater efficiency and new technologies, along with an interior that was redesigned to offer more room and comfort. The 2024 XC90 Base fits into this later chapter as the entry-level version of a model that has remained closely associated with family use and strong safety credentials.

Production
The dossier confirms that the first-generation XC90 was produced in Sweden until the end of 2014, after which production moved to China. However, it provides no specific production details for the 2024 XC90 Base. This version should therefore be linked cautiously to the second generation launched in 2015, without making further claims about its production location or process.
Press reception
The first-generation XC90 was well received, especially for its safety and comfort, and it earned the title of “SUV of the Year” in 2003. However, the dossier gives no press-reception details for the 2024 XC90 Base. No specific critical assessment can therefore be stated for this version.
Evolution
The 2024 XC90 Base sits firmly within the model’s second generation, the one that replaced the original XC90 in 2015. Its main role is not to introduce a specific visual or technical twist, but to provide access to a modernized range. Compared with the first-generation XC90, it benefits from the SPA platform, improved efficiency, and newer safety technology.
Within the lineup, the Base trim is the entry point. The dossier does not specify its exact equipment, but it should be understood as the simplest version of the 2024 XC90. Even so, it retains the core strengths of the current model: a roomier cabin, better overall comfort, and a more up-to-date technical foundation than the original XC90.
