Used 2014 Volvo XC90 for sale 

The 2014 Volvo XC90 is available in two trim options. The 3.2 trim starts at a price of $40,500 and provides multiple standard features that provide great comfort and convenience even after being the base trim. The R-Design is much more expensive at $50,000 but it is more tuned to be more sporty than the base variant. It gets a sport-tuned suspension, self-leveling rear suspension, and a sport steering wheel. This exponentially improves the handling of the vehicle while still housing the same engine as the base variant. 

We Recommend

We would recommend opting for the base 3.2 trim as it provides multiple features like the sunroof, automatic climate control, power-adjustable seats, parking sensors, and many more as standard and that too at a price of $40,500 which is around $10,000 lesser than the R-Design trim. Thus it provides better value for the money spent, as the R-Design mostly brings in sport mods to the vehicles. 

The 2014 Volvo XC90 is available in a single-engine option of the 3.2-liter inline-6 cylinder. This setup generated around 240 hp along with 236 lb-ft of torque. The engine is mated with a 6-speed shiftable automatic transmission while delivering the power to the front wheels as standard.

The engine setup is not the quickest and takes around 9-seconds to reach 0-60 mpg. Similarly, it takes around 16.6 seconds to cover the quarter-mile. The Volvo has the highest top speed of 124 mph among the competition.

The Lexus RX-350 is the most powerful in this comparison with a power output of 270 hp. It is followed by the Infiniti QX60 with a power output of 265 hp. Thus the Volvo sits at the bottom of this comparison in this aspect. The Lexus is also the quickest with 0-60 mph in 6.9 seconds, while the Infiniti takes 7.2 seconds. 

Even if the 2014 Volvo XC90 has a comparatively smaller engine, it is still the least fuel-efficient vehicle in this comparison. It provides a mileage of 16 mpg in the city which improves to 23 mpg on the highway. Thus combined together we get a mileage of 18 mpg from the XC90. But the XC90 has the biggest fuel tank capacity of 21.1 gallons which gives it a maximum range of 485 miles.

The new Infiniti QX60 is the most fuel-efficient in this comparison with a combined mileage of 22 mpg, while the Lexus provides a combined mileage of 21 mpg, which is still better than the Volvo XC90. Both the vehicles in comparison have a similar fuel tank capacity of slightly more than 19 gallons and thus provides great overall range on a full tank of gas. 

The designers at Volvo have taken care of the function over the form of the interior layout. That doesn’t mean it is not luxurious or attractive but provides great comfort along with that.

The seats are bolstered and provide great support along the front and rear as well. We see leather upholstery right from the base trim and power adjustment as standard. The third-row seats are suitable only for kids but the front two rows provide considerable spacing for all the passengers. 

The Volvo and Infiniti can carry up to 7 passengers each, while the Lexus can only accommodate 5 people in its front two rows. But then the Lexus provides a much better cargo volume of 40 cu-ft without the third-row seats. The Volvo provides the lowest cargo volume of 8.8 cu-ft behind the rear seats, while the Infiniti provides 15.8 cu-ft But the tables are turned with rear two seats folded as the Volvo then provides the maximum cargo volume of 93.2 cu-ft and the Infiniti the least volume of 76.5 cu-ft.

The exterior of the V2014 Volvo XC90 is as premium as the interior and comes with the signature Volvo look. The minimalistic lines and uplifted stance have their hold on the road, but it is not the most attractive vehicle in comparison.

It is the heaviest with a curb weight of 4,665 pounds and measures 189-in., 76-in. and 70-in. In length, width and height respectively. 

The Lexus RX 350 is the lightest at 4,343 pounds, while the Infiniti QX60 weighs 4,419 pounds. The Infiniti is the longest in length while the Volvo is the tallest. The Volvo has a maximum ground clearance of 9 inches which makes it exceptional on the off roads, while the Infiniti and the Lexus have a ground clearance of 7 inches. 

The NHTSA has rated the new Volvo XC90 with a perfect 5-star rating. The IIHS has also given a ‘Good’ rating for all of the test segments. Thus the Volvo is a highly safe vehicle in this segment and thus safeguards the passengers in case of accidents. Along with that, the Volvo XC90 gets multiple safety features that improve the safety factor of the vehicle. Here is a list of all those safety factors:

• Anti-lock braking system 
• stability control 
• Airbags 
• Rearview camera (optional)
• A blind-spot warning system (optional)

The 2014 Volvo XC90 is not the most powerful SUV that you can choose from, but there are more capable competitors out there. The design is not the best and has a standard appearance and the same is with the interiors. But the interior is ergonomic and comfortable. The SUV sits high above the ground and thus performs well on off-roads. Thus if you are looking for a capable SUV, we would suggest you take a look at the competitors as well.
