I loved my wife’s 2019 XC60 inscription with BW sound I shopped my 2018 E class , very nice car, with the dealer. They gave me a really good trade value and I bought their 2017 V90 CC in maple brown that the couldn’t move. The Benz was terrific, but the pilot assist and sound system, massage seats with more adjustments all on a car that you don’t see often compelled the trade. After 10 months and almost 24k miles I enjoy the car, a lot. Love the light interior. I thought the Benz 4 cylinder was peppy, and it is, but the turbo and supercharged Volvo is more powerful. The wagonese look is a personal thing, it just looks great. Try one! 1 year update. I have put on a lot of miles without any issues. The V90 remains stunning, comfortable and the sound system rocks. 28.2 MPG is pretty darn good. It remains a rare site on the roads. Sadly I will be trading it only because we have a lot of snow here and we are in a very rural area, like no county road service and a long gravel drive. We cam back from a December trip and still had 24” of snow on the ground, and the driveway. It is a hike to get to the side by side which I use to tamp the snow down. Luckily a neighbor with a front loader came to the rescue. The V90 is competent in snow but 24” is too much, my neighbors have always said, “you need a truck”. They are right and will provide a new review with a likely Lexis GX460 soon, or Tundra. I must add that my wife’s 2019 XC60 remains in the stable and also has 30K miles without mishap. SHe loves it and we used it for our trip into Utah. It too has the B&W sound system and it perfect all ways... except it too would be challenged with 24”of snow. It is a keeper.

It's bad that a car maker (Volvo) that is well-known for its emphasis on safe cars has created a very distracting (and poor) infortainment system, in which they have placed the climate controls, removing physical controls (other than window defrosters/defoggers); thus, the driver will be looking frequently to the center screen and removing eyes far from the road to make climate changes. There are only 4 or 5 fan speeds available, also -- unlike the older system with buttons/dials, where you could control the fan speed much better. They have also removed the ability to turn off auto-door-locking when the car starts to move, as well as the ability to turn off auto-start/stop and the ability to start in individual mode when the car starts up. I can't get the radio/audio to not turn on when I turn on the engine. The driving mode dial is in a horrible location and it's very finicky -- very poor design (this should be on the steering wheel, not in the center console near the cupholders). The transmission is horrendous -- widely noted in reviews online; it has troubles changing gears smoothly, and this is very annoying to the driver. The engine is just too small (2-liter, 4-cylinder) for a big, heavy car; having both superchargers and turbochargers seem like big problems waiting to happen down the road, and I wouldn't want this car out of warranty. There's no option for a CD player in this car. The gas tank is too small. Read the Swedespeed.com owners forum to see all the problems owners have with this car. It does have great potential, and there are a lot of plusses about this car (good visibility, good ground clearance, unique looking, etc.).

We sold our 2019 V90 because it was becoming very difficult for my wife to get in and out because of its low profile. We bought this 2020 V 90 Cross Country because it was 3-4 inches higher. I just drove it back from Charleston SC to Cape Cod was very impressed with the quietness on the highway it rode like glass it was so smooth and the pick up on the highway was so smooth you couldn’t hear the engine and it had a lot of giddy up when you needed it. Seats were very comfortable for long distance driving And gas mileage was excellent.
