The color really goes well with the wheels

I got a XC90 T 6 inscription with everything but the high end stereo , and on 20 inch rims for a better ride and I payed 70,468 out the door. I also picked it up at the factory in Sweden and it was great. In fact it was so good we are doing it again at the end of 2020 or beginning of 21 if you pick it up at the factory you save about 10 grand. Hope this helps

The T8 PHEV is the way to go. You have a plug which is great but it will run as a normal hybrid like a Lexus or Toyota if you don't have time to charge.

Good review but it'd be better if you focussed more on driving dynamics and impressions

How’s the reliability?

Hi Clifford 🙂, excellent review of the 2020 XC90, with the size of the SUV it's surprising to me how snug the 3rd row is from what I've heard. The XC90 looks very tall from the outside, so the snug 3rd row is a bummer. The scene in your review with you sitting on the booster seat with the seat belt on was everything 😄. Clifford, how many miles is on your 1998 Volvo S70, did you buy it new in '98 or pre-owned later on? The S70 was actually my dream car since I was in high school at the time when the Volvo 850 transitioned to S70. I love the original boxy shape of both cars since it's distinctly Volvo. I'm not sure if the newest Volvo's have that distinct interior smell of a new Volvo from the '90s, I love that unique smell, there's nothing like it. You probably know what I'm talking about. I absolutely love Volvo sedans between 1993-2000. Do you live in the New England region? I was going by how bundled up you are in this review.

Thank you! I have 75,000 on my S70. It was my grandfather's, and he bought it a year old with only 9000 miles. I probably need a new alternator. And certain minor things I don't use like the rear window and driver's seat heater would cost too much to fix, but the car as a whole is built to last.

The only downside to every current Volvo is the lack of physical controls for the heater controls and seat heating cooling. You should not have to go through several screen ‘touches’ to turn on and set the seat temp. Mercedes is currently the best mix of touch, steering wheel and physical controls.

Test drive a Telluride or Palisade and you will see that it's a far superior vehicle mechanically. Quiet, logical infotainment, reliable, not as good looking, but that's about it.

I get compliments on how my S90 looks until I tell them about the maintenance nightmare this POS is. I'd rather drive a Chrysler product over this thing.

Is it the features, the quality of materials, the performance, the brand, the badge or consumer perception? Also, at what point does a luxury car, turn into a regular ol car? Surely a 2001 Bentley isn't worth more than a 2020 Stinger...and if it were, are the materials, technology or fit and finish truly better at this point? As a person that can afford any car that I truly want and have owned and leased great cars and Volvos...I'd say the Volvo is the least luxurious, luxury brand I've ever owned outside of visually. I understand the "just a Kia" argument, but it's not founded in logic, more a raw emotional response to price versus value.

Ok

That 4 cylinder is way overworked and sounds every bit of it. Fwd based takes away from any remaining idea that this is a luxury vehicle. The Hyundai Palisade feels, look, and sounds like a much better luxury vehicle than these 4 poppers that will go boom. That said. If you want the safest SUV, but a Model X, but for the safest petrol suv, Volvo is it. Cliff I think your review was dead on. Very honest and take which is greatly appreciated.

I know it sounds funny to those of you on the other side of the pond but over here in the U.S. with cheap gas prices & large vehicles everywhere the XC90 is midsize. Larger SUVs are a dime a dozen from one side of the U.S. to the other. Not to mention full sized pickup trucks which are also everywhere. Full sized pickups are as rare as hens' teeth over there. The Ford F-150 pickup outsells everything in the U.S. - "The Ford F-150 has been the best-selling truck (and vehicle) in the United States for more than 40 years."

If not for the crappy engines, XC90 would have been far more successful in sales numbers. Big shame!

Great looking, great hype...POS. Once you get to know the new Volvos, you realize there is a lot of common sense absent from functionality. Aesthetically amazing, but think about the storage for glasses or the fact that there isn't much storage space in the middle, cup holders annoying and anything short of the T6 AWD is like driving a bus. All of these issues before touching the infotainment flaws. The lag is awful, having to go into the screen for seat and steering wheel heat as well as Heat/AC it can get super annoying. Also, the Volvo chick does not understand a lot. When the temp drops, these things lag even more. AND you have to use that screen for everything. The HUD is worthless as are the steering controls. The tire pressure monitoring system doesn't even tell you what the pressure is...just that a tire is low (not which tire, just a tire). Volvo is not competitive with any of the real SUV's in any category besides aesthetics and safety. It's a Fail for me.
