According to Newest Cars, Volvo achieved a milestone in the United States with its XC90 three-row crossover, which recorded its highest annual sales ever in 2025. The Swedish automaker sold 40,217 XC90s, marking a 2% increase over 2024 and surpassing the previous record of 39,920 units in 2023.
Overall U.S. sales for Volvo dipped slightly by 2.9% to 121,607 vehicles, as reported by Newest Cars. While electrified vehicle sales declined, fully electric models such as the EX90 and EX30 posted substantial gains.
XC90’s Continued Popularity
Newest Cars notes that the XC90, now in its second generation since 2015, has benefited from multiple updates, including the 2025 facelift featuring a redesigned front fascia, upgraded interior materials, enhanced sound insulation, and an 11.2-inch touchscreen. Industry analysts say Volvo’s approach of refreshing the existing model rather than launching a completely new generation has paid off, similar to Dodge’s success with the Durango.
Other Volvo Models in the U.S.
Following the XC90, the XC60 reached 41,105 units, a 6% increase. The EX90 grew 356% to 3,913 units, while the smaller EX30 jumped 2,154% to 5,409 units, boosted by a new single-motor entry-level variant and the 2026 Cross Country version.
Sales figures for the EX40, XC40, and V60 Cross Country were not individually reported, but Newest Cars estimates these models combined for roughly 30,963 units. The V60 Cross Country, Volvo’s last wagon in the U.S., will end production in April 2026 as the brand shifts focus entirely to SUVs, following a broader industry trend away from wagons and sedans.
Challenges for Electrified Vehicles
Volvo told Newest Cars that declining electrified vehicle sales are partly due to the phase-out of federal tax credits. Maintaining EV momentum is expected to be a key focus for the company in 2026.
Looking Ahead
The XC90’s record performance underscores the value of strategic model updates. According to Newest Cars, Volvo’s three-row SUV continues to be a cornerstone of the brand’s U.S. lineup, meeting strong consumer demand while avoiding the costs of a full redesign.
