The new XC90 SUV seems destined to be another hit for Volvo - but is it good enough to beat a BMW X5 and a Land Rover Discovery? There is a foregone conclusion in some tests. A car that, before you've even read the story, you would bet good money on winning. Anything involving a Porsche 911 GT3 RS, if p28 is anything to go by. But this isn't one of those features. Any of the three cars here is capable of winning this test, and I know this because, even as I write, I'm not convinced that I'm sure on which car's bid the hammer will fall. The three cars in this test are among the most different in character yet most competitive set of cars that I've tested in a long while. The reason that they're lined up at all is, of course, the arrival of the latest Volvo XC90, the new flagship SUV from the revitalised Swedish company. So revitalised is Volvo that although the XC90 is currently its newest model, it'll be its oldest in just four years' time.
