Which Swedish automaker produces the Volvo XC90?

Volvo Cars produces the Volvo XC90.

The XC90 is a mid-size luxury SUV that Volvo introduced in 2002. The first generation was built at Volvo’s Torslandaverken plant in Sweden and helped establish the company as a serious competitor in the growing premium-SUV market. A second generation arrived for the 2015 model year, using Volvo’s Scalable Product Architecture platform.

“Volvo” is the familiar and fair quiz answer, although Volvo Cars is the precise company name. It should not be confused with Volvo Group, the separate Swedish corporation best known for trucks, buses and construction equipment. Volvo Cars has been owned by China’s Geely Holding since 2010, but it remains the manufacturer behind Volvo-branded passenger vehicles.

The XC90 is also notable for its safety focus and three-row layout. Later versions adopted hybrid powertrains, including Recharge plug-in-hybrid models, extending Volvo’s electrification strategy beyond conventional gasoline engines.
