To be honest, the engine sound doesn't convince me at all. This 2liter four cylinder engine roars and is completely overwhelmed by the two-ton ship. In a direct comparison, the Acura MDX TYPE S has much better comfort and noise qualities with this 3 Liter V6 Twin scroll Turbo engine and I definitely like the interior better.
@@IndigoStargazer That doesn't really make Volvo's engine problem any better. It's the same 2-liter four-cylinder, but with a turbo and supercharging. But it remains a four-cylinder in-line engine. This T8 recharge also has a large, heavy battery on board which means the XC90 weighs almost 2.5 tons. Of course with the electric power this gives a system performance of 455 hp. The T6 recharge with 350 hp would be more comparable, but it has worse performance than the ACURA MDX TYPE S.My choice would always be the Acura. It is now the modern, more stylish and comfortable SUV... and nothing beats a decent six-cylinder, whether it's a V6 or one like in the Mazda CX90 In-line six-cylinder.
