HI thanks for a great review! My husband is 6'4 and I am 5'1-so making sure the car I select can fit him. It would be my primary car but of course he uses it from time to time to haul things. Back seat head clearance I think is going to be an issue. I have a Chevy Traverse now but am looking to upgrade-seat and head restraint comfort being my top research. My biggest issue I have is the head restraint/seat comfort. With my Traverse, I have to put a back pillow so that it pulls my body and head away from the head restraint otherwise by design of the seat and head restraint as many other vehicles, I would drive in a concave configuration. I think it has everything to do with the fact that when you are short, where my head hits the head restraint just doesn't line up well. For long distance driving-without the pillow, I would be in severe pain. The lumbar on my Chevy seems a bit sad-not really a lumbar support I think it should be.Im short and have neck issues which with the US (as I am sure Canada has) that the new head restraint designs have caused issues with some drivers and also short people. SUVs I think are not built with short people in mind. I wish reviews would also include a slightly more in depth comfort review (head restraints and their adjustments, as well as the some of the seat and lumbar features). Maybe throw a short person in there too for a short person perspective..HAHHAHA

There isn't much comfort when it comes to these head rests in today's cars unfortunately. Most of them are just there to prevent your neck from snapping backwards in the event of an accident, and nothing more.

Every chance Volvo designed the auto start/stop with Europe in mind, which doesn't have four way stop signs (we manage to use these magical things called roundabouts). The fact that you can turn it off means it's irrelevant anyway. Still, it's interesting to watch car reviews from the other side of the Atlantic as the priorities are usually quite different to European drivers - I enjoy yours as you've obviously put a lot of time and thought into them. Got a S90 T8 coming in February, I hope it's as good as it seems to be.

@PRNTestDrive

I guarantee the S90 T8 will be excellent for you! We absolutely loved the one we had a few weeks back. But it's certainly true, the market where these cars are designed differs significantly from our use cases here in Canada. Volkswagen seems to have done a good job with their Stop/Start, we just dropped off the 2019 Jetta and it's system was excellent.

Nile, I am rewatching this review. I have exactly the same feeling about the BMW engine start/stop. As you approaching the stop sign, it decided to cut off the engine, then if needs to start again right away because you clear the stop sign and started to accelerate. Extremely annoying in residential streets with stop sign at every intersection....

Most people consider the Audi Q7 3.0T to be the T6 XC90's main competitor as opposed to the Mercedes GLE or BMW X5, which don't have a 3rd row as standard. The T5 XC90's are even less equipped than this T6 Momentum (FWD only, no 3rd row option, no standard digital drivers display, etc.). A well equipped T6 XC90 in either the R-Design or Inscription trims, offers so much more standard safety and technology features than a comparably equipped Q7. Audi, like most European luxury carmakers, continues to financially sodomize buyers with overpriced option packages. Audi forces you to buy the top trim Q7 Prestige just to have the still non-standard option of adaptive air suspension, full drivers assistance packages, and top tier surround sound audio system. My 2017 T6 R-Design had all of those options included for just under $70K (USD).

Also you dont get the better performance, fuel economy and better reliability if you choose the vw... It is a thief. Same story for my father new car, the same size wagon, cost 5500€ more if was a vw model but you still miss indipendent rear suspension, new model and 7 year warranty. I will never buy a german car, they rip you off both with brand new and usualy also with an used model when maintance or repairs are needed... Overengineering cause costumers become beta tester...

Hi Nile, it is disappointing that Toyota Canada would not even reply to you. The landscape of automotive journalism has completely changed from 10 or 15 years ago.

Por favor sacar el video de la CX90 Volvo en español.

Your point about the auto start/stop is valid, but, there's a bit of an explanation about the early off you're seeing. In Eco mode, the car will turn off the engine at around 5 kph or 3 mph. In comfort mode, it won't turn off the engine until you come to a full stop. If I'm coming to an intersection where I know I'll need to go almost immediately, I'll move the gear selector to manual mode until I start accelerating, as it won't turn off in manual mode.

Nobody is buying one of these cars “in case people come in from out of town”. They are for large families. As such, the main requirements for the third row is that the seats are easy to get up and down, durable, comfortable and that there is no useless equipment back there that a 6 year old would easily break. Headroom for 6ft people is of tertiary importance. I feel the review was critical because the space met these criteria. It would be more useful to kick the rear seats for 20 mins to see if they scuff.
