SUV Classes

One of the biggest distinctions between the Volvo XC90 and the 2025 Volvo XC60 is their size. Among other factors, the size of an SUV determines the automotive class it competes in. The Volvo XC90 is the largest SUV currently manufactured by the Volvo team, falling into the midsize SUV category. By contrast, the Volvo XC60, a compact SUV, slots beneath the Volvo XC90 and above the subcompact Volvo XC40.

Passenger Space

As the larger SUV, the Volvo XC90 naturally has more room for passengers than the Volvo XC60. The Volvo XC90 has seats for six or seven passengers depending on the configuration of its second row. Although it’s the smaller vehicle, the Volvo XC60 can still accommodate five adult travelers across two rows.

While the Volvo XC90 can transport more people, the Volvo XC60 has more legroom for its occupants. The Volvo XC90 has 40.9, 37, and 31.9 inches of legroom in its first, second, and third rows, respectively. Front-row travelers in the Volvo XC60 have 41.5 inches of legroom and passengers in the back have 38 inches.

Cargo Room

Its larger size also gives the Volvo XC90 more total room for gear or groceries inside its cabin. Behind its third row, the SUV has 15.8 cubic feet of cargo space. Folding the rearmost row frees up 41.8 cubic feet of cargo room. If you fold both back rows, the SUV’s cargo capacity swells to 85.7 cubic feet. The Volvo XC60 has more room when its seats are in use, with 17.1 cubic feet of cargo space behind its second row. With its back seats folded, this number jumps to 63.3 cubic feet of cargo room.
