The Thule Hitching Post Pro - Folding Tilting 4 Bike Rack w Anti-Sway # TH934XTR would be great option for occasional use on your 2022 Volvo XC90. This light weight and affordable option from Thule is compatible with both 1-1/4" and 2" receiver hitches. You will only be able to carry 2 bikes when using a Class I trailer hitch (1-1/4" receiver) so you will want to check the class of your receiver hitch before loading up the rack.

This rack features HoldFast cradles with advanced grooves and detachable anti-sway arms to gently cushion frames and accommodate cables for proper bike hold. It holds bike frames at 3 points to prevent sway and bike-to-bike contact and utilizes heavy-duty, reinforced straps to maximize cradle hold strength. The tilting mast allows for easy access to your Volvo's rear cargo area, simply pull a pin at the base to tilt the rack forward, away from your vehicle.

This rack has a per bike weight capacity of 35lbs and since it is a hanging rack you will need to be able to lift the bikes up onto the dual arms.

Overall this is a great bike rack with some nice features. I recommend checking the weight of your bikes and ensure that you can lift the bikes up. You'll also want to ensure the frames are compatible with this style of mounting. For example if you had a step-thru frame then you would need a Thule Bike Adapter Bar for Women's and Alternative Frame Bikes # TH982XT as well. If lifting them up onto the arms is an issue or the weight of the bikes exceed 35lbs let me know and I can find a platform rack with an adequate weight capacity.
