I m waiting for the delivery of mine My22 XC90 on 11 April in Italy and man, here in Europe XC90 Inscription fully equipped is about 100.000€! Of course we are talking about diesel engine with less than 300hp because here we have big taxes on the hp. I have a TTRS and I have to pay 3.4 k every year just because I own it. And here we have the problem of the price of the gas, petrol and diesel today were about 2.4/2.5 €per LITRE! Anyway great review can’t wait for my delivery 🔥
@@TheMrdeashawn Sounds like you got a winning combo. I love... love love the TTRS. That's insane you have to pay hp tax. I forget how nice we have it here in the states...
I am currently looking at a 2016 XC90 T8 Inscription (June 2023). It has 95K miles for $29K. I love how it rides, especially in EV mode. My biggest reservation is the poor reputation of the XC90 for 2016-17.
I have a fully loaded 2017 XC90 T6 R-Design (Bowers & Wilkins audio, air suspension, Polestar optimization, carbon fiber interior, etc.). I'm still loving it 5 years later and I've had no issues with it at all. Mine is Passion Red and I still look back at it almost every time I park and walk away.
that's one of my favorite specs. I wanted a red one so bad... but the wife didn't want that color. Reminds me of the Audi S cars with the silver mirror caps.
@@bradh6185 Absolutely not. Bowers & Wilkins is sublime. The over the air map navi and software updates keep my 5 year old infotainment almost as new when compared with 2020-2021 Sensus systems.
@@bradh6185 not at all. It takes a few seconds but not a big deal. Honestly... if you let your oil circulate in your engine before you drive the infotainment system will be ready before you leave the driveway.
@@TheDailyDriver Thanks. Yeah, I was thinking if it has remote start, I could just start it up a few minutes before I'm going to leave. I have to think that would be good for the engine anyway.
I purchased my Volvo XC90 in May 2015 and after a 5 month wait it arrived in October. I went against my own rule and purchased it the first model year. Add to the fact Volvo was just under new ownership made me question my decision. When I got in my New XC90 l was in love. The slam of the door I could hear how solid it was. My fears disappeared. The first year had some recall and very minor issues but since day one I've had no real major issues. The XC90 does feel lite on its feet ... It will coast/glide my foot just hovers over the brakes. LoL. I love how the seatbelt locks AND retracts back in an emergency to pull your body back into the seat to position for the best outcome. Safety first. Had a Lexus for 15 years and the Volvo service is just as good. In 2022 it is Very reliable. Still solid. Still in love. LoL. Thank you for the video.
I got the 2021 xc90 and owned it for almost 3 years and it has been a wonderful car…so comfortable on road trips and so happy with my purchase. What people want is a car that never breaks but they stop making those in the 90’s
@@TheDailyDriver during crash the driver could be pinned to the steering wheel. A manual column helps the rescuer to adjust it without power to get the driver out.
@@mrbrightside3771 Yes that was the same reason Volvo told me. Manual release saves time in an emergency. Thank you for pointing that out. People may think that Volvo was cutting corners but in reality it was for safety.
Bummed to hear it has air suspension and that the computer forgot the sunroof. Air Struts always fail. The P2 R's had a great electronic valving strut that would work for a very long time. I have found all of my Volvo's to be very reliable and in time hope to find that this new model is no different with the new engine and chassis.
Yeah all struts fail though. I'm kind of just bracing and hoping that I don't have to replace them within the next 40k. We plan to get a replacement vehicle once this thing clocks 105k.
It's a year later.. how are things going? I'm contemplating a certified used XC90 for around $30,000 (If I can find) but I plan to stick with 2018 + models w/ T5. I keep going back and forth with it.
Thanks for the video. I purchased a 2023 XC90 Plus Volvo Certified. I feel better knowing the vehicle will be serviced no matter what over the five years I financed it
I had a 2022 XC90 for a loaner while my car was in for service. Beautiful car, but still not a fan of the new 4 cylinders. I am a old school Volvo guy and the inline 5/6 turbo engines are much more refined
It's a large, heavy car that only comes with 4 cylinder? They should offer at least a v6 engine. You can spend the same amount of money by getting a v8 from the competition.
One of the biggest negatives I hear about the XC90 is that it requires brake service every 20K miles, and sometimes has issues with warped rotors. What has your experience been?
I have had to change the rear brakes once... and that was the second time in the history of the vehicle. IF you use the auto brake feature, it will wear quickly. If you turn it off, you'll have good life. IT's easy to swap too... I should create a video on how to do it. lol
There was a post by an owner that let go of his XC90 after only 1 year because the front brakes only have 1 piston that is weak and causes to warp the rotor. Is this an issue for you? I’m seriously looking at getting an XC90 but kind of concerned with that.
Great review. Considering trading in my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit 5.7 in October. Will have had it exactly two years. Love the Summit but have no need for the HEMI power and definitely not the fuel economy. Not bad per my driving style but not appealing . 😊
Thanks for putting out a review. Last weekend I had gone to Acura dealer to test drive the 2019 MDX and the outside felt good but the inside really sucked in all possible ways. I have the same 2016 T6 and really love it compared to the MDX, Lexus, Audi. I heard the Audi has transmission issues. T6 is like my weekend vehicle but the only issue I have had is it doesnt play all Mp3 song formats, which makes me unhappy. I am thinking maybe I should sell mine and buy a Tesla since gad prices have almost hit the roof. Btw your initial start of the vlog you showed the towing of the XC90, what was that about?
That was delivery! I ordered mine used from out of state. Also thank you for the comment. I'm glad you like yours and I'm in the same boat in regards to an electric/Tesla.
Thank you for your video. Planning to make a move on a 2019 CPO XC90 with under 40k miles. I will definitely need extended warranty on this, you mentioned Endurance - do you still stand by that?
No lifetime warranties in the uk. Any part replaced under warranty is warrantied until the end of the vehicles warranty, a ma 5 years from volvo for a new vehicle.
I am a loyal Volvo owner and I have owned many. This Volvo is a beautiful well built Volvo for sure! and I doubt you will have any problems with a Volvo that's one of the reasons why I love them. I have a question though what happened to your BMW and why didn't you buy another one?
I still have the BMW and looking at getting an x5m... older. My 640 currently has 70k on it and still running strong *knock on wood*. The XC90 currently has 90k
@@TheDailyDriver I have owned Volvos with 2K they never complained. Volvo is not like a BMW they aren't money pits. I know people with BMWs with 75K and they have all kinds of problems.
the new one is beautiful.... Something about Mazdas though. They have a nice interior but I feel like after 50k miles they all seem to creak or rattle.
Man... XC90... Comfort if that's your thing. My friend had a Durango and my buddy that does "this week in cars" is debating on an RT. I also think you can find a lower mileage XC90 for less too. It gets a lot of bad marks for reliability even though it's like 90% all infotainment stuff that was mostly resolved or not really as big an issue as most people make it out to be.
