Reliability and safety are the two dimensions that matter most for long-term ownership costs. We score reliability at 8.3/10 — better than most direct rivals, if short of the segment's best.

The cabin tech earns 8.4/10 — infotainment, smartphone integration, and driver-assistance are all close to the best this class offers.
Priced from $58,450–$76,725, 25 MPG, seating 5, the Volvo V90 Cross Country sits in the premium tier of the wagon category. The 7.8/10 value score says the pricing is fair rather than generous; cross-shop the segment before signing anything.
