I have 2018 XC90 T6. Since the purchase in January 2019, I hade several issues and some of them mentioned in the video. Yet, non of them was repaired by recalls (Location: middle east). - The first issue was a glitch in the instrument panel (screen) at around 30k km, They replaced it via warranty - Another issue is the quick warn of the breaks ( every 30k km). Still exists - Air conditioning evaporator at 100k km. Replaced via extended warranty - At 135k km, Both sides front axles. One replaced via extended warranty and I payed for the other Bottom line, after 5 years and around 135k km, I still like the vehicle. I have driven it in mountains, sand dunes, beaches (got stuck several times), long trips (over 3000 km) and water channels.

I appreciate the work poured into this vid. Thank you!

I hope it lived up to expectation 😁

My daughter just gave hers back to Carnax after 30 days. Ending revving and would not stop. Their mechanic said many engine faults don’t 2:05 dont drive. Car max took it back . Said it would be $10,000 to fix and they weren’t going to fix it. They paid for her rental, mechanic, towing. Treated her well

What model and year? Thanks

The ERAD mentioned at kzread.info/dash/bejne/aq1lsZhwkbLJYKQ.html is not the battery pack, it's the rear axle drive unit

Is it just me or is a "clean and minimalist" cabin more a cold and sterile space? I also don't like these empty cabins of EVs with no center console. I want my car to be a comfy space that hugs when where I can feel soothed with lots of cubbies for storage, and a mechanical transmission selector or manual. Also buttons are not only safer and easier to use but they also make the cabin look more featured and filled.

Yeah agreed, the trend of interiors that are blank apart from a screen and a steering wheel always remind me of a basic car rather than a luxury/high spec car 👍

@@themilesdriven there is one carmaker going in the opposite direction, it's Mazda. Mazda has made it clear they want to achieve optimal human machine interface and they designed their infotainment and climate control accordingly, buttons, dials, and a controller similiar to older BMW idrive for the information while in motion

Yes when I worked at Mazda our quarterly training always emphasised driver engagement and tactile functionality. It's why the Mazda 2 has a touchscreen and a control wheel, the touch screen operates when stopped, so you can quickly enter in details to navigation, then above (either 5 or 10mph) the touchscreen won't operate, and control is now done through the little wheel by the armrest, much safer as you can make small changes like switch route with two turns of the control wheel and not take your eyes off the road. It reminded me of something Saab would do. 😅 I've done the Mazda MX-5 previously 👍

AC repair. $4,500 at the dealership. Entire dash comes out. Good luck with that one.

@@imnotusingmyrealname4566 My wife's 2019 XC90 we bought new, losing freon. Dealer diagnosed leak in evaporator. $3000. Rockauto sells evaporator for $95. I'm buying freon at $9 a can and adding every couple of months. Secondary battery bad, just out of warranty $1000. at 2 years, sun roof glass cracked. $1500. Now engine revs after warm up with check engine light. Got to go to dealer 150 miles away ( yeah, I knew better than to buy a foreign car with no local service, but my wife loved it) because no local mechanic will touch it. The thing is fun to drive, but a money pit, and with 2 more years of car payments.

Volvo is no more a Swedish company, my 2008 xc 90 would be my last Volvo, i started with a 245 Diesel so it was a long relationship for me but the new one are bling bling like all the other premium car for the Chinese market .

Volvo suck very expensive to repair. Jesus a water pump replaced is over $1200.00 and that’s a must for maintenance at 120,000 miles. Timing belt a must at 60,000 or 100,000 miles. Depends on model. Oil and filter well over $100.00 each time. Slipping transmission. Radios go out and much more. Google problems with Volvo Cheap Plastic parts. Volvo doesn’t even come in the top ten. Get Toyota Lexus.

I didn't see anything too wrong with those things for the price. $100.0 for oil and filter change is too cheap for a luxury car already. Why do you still complain? Bmw $250.0, Range Rover $350.0 to change oil and filter and people still drive them. If it just needs to change water pumb at around 120,000 miles for $1,200. It still not bad. There are many luxury cars even worse than that with require to change this and that before 100k miles😢. For the repair that not too bad but decent price for a luxury car. But other problems, maybe it bad somehow or you just a little sensitive😅

I know many pepole here in Sweden with d4/5 Volvos they ser great, ofc they have problems byt overall less than german or american i would say
