2025 Discovery vs. 2025 Volvo XC90: Superior Safety
Both the Discovery and the Volvo XC90 come with various safety and driver-assistance systems, such as Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Aid, and Front and Rear Park Assist, to name a few. However, unlike the Discovery, the Volvo XC90 goes above and beyond to keep its occupants safe - Volvo Cars is famously known for inventing the three-point seat belt, after all. The Discovery doesn't come with standard features like Cross Traffic Alert, Slippery Road Alert, and Oncoming Lane Mitigation - all of which are included with every Volvo XC90 model.
To give you an idea of just how much emphasis Volvo engineers put on your and your passenger's security, here are the standard driver-support technologies and safety features included with every 2025 Volvo XC90:
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Auto-dim rearview mirror
- Blind Spot Information System (BLIS™) and Cross Traffic Alert
- Rear Collision Mitigation Support
- Lane Keeping Aid
- Oncoming Lane Mitigation
- Front and Rear Park Assist
- Rear Park Assist Camera
- Rain Sensor
- Road Sign Information
- Slippery Road Alert
- Rear-seat ISOFIX mounting points
- Inflatable curtains and various other air bags
- Intelligent Driver Information System
- Occupant Weight Sensor
- Power child safety lock
- Side Impact Protection
- Whiplash Injury Protection
Also, the Volvo XC90 and Volvo XC90 Plug-In Hybrid for sale both earn spots on the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's (IIHS) 2025 Top Safety Picks1 for the midsize luxury SUV category, with the mild hybrid earning the organization's most prestigious Top Safety Pick+ award.1 You won't find the Discovery there, though.

Discovery vs. Volvo XC90: Servicing & Reliability
The engineers at Volvo Cars have taken many precautions to ensure that the inner workings of the Volvo XC90 are protected - precautions that the Discovery manufacturers don't necessarily equal - such as putting the battery in the trunk of the Volvo XC90, away from hot underhood temperatures that can shorten its lifespan.
Meanwhile, the battery of the Discovery is stored in the hot engine compartment, where it is susceptible to damage. Maybe that's why Consumer Reports agrees that the Volvo XC90 is a more reliable SUV than the Discovery.2,3
Consumer Reports not only gives the Volvo XC90 a higher Predicted Reliability rating than the Discovery but also ranks it higher in the Road Test and Overall Score.2,3 Additionally, the Volvo XC90 is a CR Recommended vehicle, whereas the Discovery is not.2,3

Compare Volvo XC90 vs. Discovery Performance
Although the Discovery claims to have a smooth ride, power and efficiency are the name of the game in the Volvo XC90. Take the plug-in-hybrid variant of this premium SUV, for example. The T8 powertrain of the Volvo XC90 Plug-In Hybrid model, which combines a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with an electric motor and battery, outperforms the best of the Discovery models quite handily. The Volvo XC90 PHEV makes 455 horsepower and 523 pound-feet of torque - the Discovery model's available 3.0-liter V-6 caps out at 355 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque.
Additionally, the Volvo XC90 PHEV is more environmentally friendly and fuel-efficient than the Discovering, earning up to an EPA-estimated MPGe rating of 58 (Combined).4 Even the mild hybrid variant offers better fuel economy, with up to an EPA-estimated 23/30/26 MPG (City/Highway/Combined).5 On the other hand, the EPA estimates for the Discover only reach a lackluster 19/22/21 MPG (City/Highway/Combined)6 in its most efficient form.
In the Volvo XC90, you'll have more precision control for every drive than you do with the Discovery. For instance, the Volvo SUV has a wider wheelbase of 117.5 inches that allows for a smoother, more stable ride than the Discovery. It also has a tighter turning circle at 39.7, letting you make U-turns with more ease.
Volvo XC90 vs. Discovery: The Choice Is Clear
