The turning circle compared to other Volvo models
Within the Volvo family, the XC90 is the wise elder with tales of long journeys and ample boot space. When it struts its stuff, it's with a grace expected of its size—a turning circle identical to its svelte sibling, the XC90 Recharge Plug-in Hybrid—both stretching 12.10 meters. It does, however, concede to the youthfulness of the V60, S60, and their Cross Country and Plug-in Hybrid counterparts, who can all change direction with a tad more vim and vigor, each at just 11 meters.

How does the turning circle of the Volvo XC90 compare to it's nearest competitors?
Now, if you pit the Swedish champion against its international adversaries, it enters a veritable automotive gladiatorial arena. The lithe Audi Q8 requires an amphitheater-sized 13.30 meters to execute a full rotation—a full 1.20 meters more leeway than what our XC90 demands. On the compact end, the springy Dacia Spring leaps around a corner with a meager 9.50 meters. The muscular VW Touareg slips in beneath the radar with a fleet-footed 11.60 meters, and the sprawling Audi Q7 bats its lengthy eyelashes with a need for 12 meters even—matching our Scandinavian contender.
