Which trim is worth it

Momentum

Worth it

The Momentum trim offers a good balance of luxury and practicality. It includes essential features like leather upholstery, a panoramic sunroof, and a high-quality sound system, making it a worthwhile choice for most buyers.

R-Design

Worth it

Opt for the R-Design if you prefer a sportier aesthetic and enhanced driving dynamics. It includes unique styling elements and sport seats, adding a dynamic edge to the XC90's refined character.

Inscription

Probably skip

The Inscription trim adds premium touches such as upgraded leather and wood inlays. While luxurious, the additional cost may not be justified unless these features are a priority for you.
