Everything You Need To Know About Volvo XC90 Captain's Chairs


Volvo XC90 Captain's Chairs

Volvo XC90 captain's chairs create an interior cabin space that's elegantly designed for six passengers while providing individualized comfort to occupants of the second row. Available on the Volvo XC90 Plus and Ultra trim levels, this seating arrangement allows your second-row family members to benefit from armrests and personal seat adjustments. Third-row passengers adore the flexibility offered by an SUV with second-row captain's seats, too, thanks to the space between them that makes heading to the back row seamless. For smaller families, this setup is the optimal way to ensure that your crew of six benefits from a feature-reach sanctuary with maximum on-road relaxation.

It's all a part of how the Volvo XC90 tailors to every lifestyle while focusing on everyday satisfaction and luxury. Quantrell Volvo Cars is here to show you just how advantageous a six-seat Volvo XC90 can be for you and yours. Read on to learn more.

Volvo XC90 Second Row Captain's Chairs: Benefits

Your passengers will love the 2025.5 Volvo XC90 captain's chairs for their plush construction, ergonomic design, premium upholstery, and spacious comfort for road trips. Third-row passengers will love them, too, as they provide seamless access - but more on that later. Settle into one of these seats when you test-drive one of our new Volvo specials, and notice how they can be individually adjusted to the passenger's needs, like reclining, sliding forward or back, or extending the armrest and taking advantage of integrated cupholders.

Depending on your trim level, all seats in the new Volvo XC90 hold incredible functionality - epitomizing the Volvo brand's promise to ensure anybody is welcome on every drive. These two seats are heated by default, so trips up north remain cozy for the whole cabin. Nappa leather upholstery on the highest-end trims creates a homey atmosphere for the entire interior.

What makes things even better is the functionality when you don't need these seats. The folding elements of these separated seats make storage a breeze - rather than going through the lengthy process of working around a bench. The power-folding rear restraints ensure you can see clearly behind you, even when the seats are fully up, by automatically lowering the heads with a button press.

Volvo XC90 Captain's Chairs: Advantages for Third-Row Occupants

Even occupants in the third row can benefit from your choice to upgrade to an SUV with captain's chairs in the second row. For starters, occupants will have easier access while climbing into the third row of the Volvo XC90, or any model for that matter, when the second row has captain's chairs. It affords the ability to slip between the seats in the second row - but you always have the option to lift the second-row captain's chairs and enter or exit the same way you would with a three-seat second-row bench, too.

Adding captain's chairs to your second row when you finance or lease a Volvo XC90 can even provide more comfort for passengers in the back row. With an opening between the middle seats, third-row riders can stretch their legs a bit more on extended road trips or local drives alike. Finally, if you have little ones in the back who don't need the extra leg space to sprawl out, you can use that gap to store more cargo, such as their backpacks or luggage, for an overnight trip.
