No armrest in the second row captain's chairs?

We are the original owner of a 2016 XC90 that now has 50,000 miles on it. Overall, we are happy with it. Has lots of power but gets 26+ MPG on the highway. Here are some of our issues with it: Children’s car seats (at least ours) don’t fit in second row seats because head restraints push child seat forward. Touch screen is finicky: you have to touch it just right for it to register the touch. Bad because this takes driver’s eyes off the road as he tries multiple times. On our other cars, when you flip the sun visor over to cover the side window you can slide it backwards to cover more of the window ... not so on the Volvo. Minor point: the door handles are chrome plated plastic, not aluminum as stated in the video. The chrome plating came off ours. They were replaced under warranty but would be expensive to replace off warranty because of the labor. The fuel filler door has an automatic closure instead of the usual removable cap you unscrew. Became a problem when I tried to fill the tank from a gas can. Gas cans now have an interlock that prevents gas from flowing unless an unlocking tab is caught on the edge of the filler pipe. The Volvo has no such edge (it’s round) and so I was unable to fill from the gas can. We got the air suspension which gives a much nicer ride than the standard springs. One feature we really like is that the mirrors fold in when you lock the car. This makes it really easy to tell at a distance whether the car is locked.

Gave up , too many adverts.

It's still very elegant. I look forward to the 2022 all-new xc90. But this car started Volvo's new design direction and it has been tweaked nicely. It does need power steering wheel adjustments.

The things Volvo's are missing.. I believe they do on purpose, to save costs, and keep their price and value proposition optimum. They're very smart with the things they withhold, things that aren't too important. But it's not just them scamming you, the value they put into durability, and quality of the frame, body, suspension, etc, are things you don't directly see, but well worthwhile, instead of every electronic gadget. I think Volvo puts the features where they matter, and the quality where it matters. Very smart, and offers the customer the best value/compromise, which I love about Volvo.

I wonder if they fixed the lagging in the infotainment.

Might trade in my wife’s 2016 Inscription solely for the 6 seat option on the 2020.

Is this George?

So basically a new grill and front end changes as a mid cycle refresh

Indicators should be yellow or amber, red is bloody bad. How many mpg(imperial)? from 0-60 mph how fast? has XC90 equipped with TPMS(tyre pressure monitoring system)? what colour about this car? grey? heated windscreen?standard? oh are you Japanese? Hi thanks for answering.

Not giving a practical way to unfold the back seats is just inexcusable. Such a shame because the rest of it seems well thought out.

I dont want electronic motors to lift the seat. More stuff to break

Build the second row seats with NO ARMREST is really a silly move. I mean its really a common sense.

I've been adding this comment to these Volvo adds...Volvo is now owned by Geely, a Chinese company.

I drive this SUV and think it is horrible for a "luxury" SUV.

What the hell no arm rest on second row captain chairs? That's stupid,can you imagine going for a long drive and no arm rest to rest arm.in that case you have to make a sling to rest your other arm.STUPID

Too small..!

How can I take you seriously that "The XC90 is the best suv on the market" when right after that we see Volvo sponsored the video. Zero credibility and BS. I own own an older P2 S80 and a XC 90 2021 (wifes car)...... and I can, with confidence tell you you the newer Volvo's are not built as well and are plagued with electrical issues... and terribly over priced. I have a friend who owns a Corvette and Euro car repair facility, who is a former Volvo Master Tech mechanic. His advise on the matter (which I followed) was if you're going to buy Volvo get own made in Sweden... not one from S.C and not one from China. Do your own research people. The XC 90 has been in the shop 7 times 3 of which Volvo did not have any loaners, and they had the car for a total of 4 months .... adding up all 7 times.

This is not luxury 😐
