I did a little research and found that the most economical trunk mounted bike rack that will fit all model years (2003-2011) of the Volvo XC90 is the Thule Passage 3, # TH911XT, that you have referenced. I have included a link to the installation details for reference. You will need to follow the specific instructions for which fit dial setting to use and any additional notes that apply to your specific vehicle.

You may also be interested in the Alternative Frame Bike Adapter Bar, # TH982XT, that do not have a top frame bar that is parallel to the ground. I have included a link to a video review of this adapter.
