Touchscreen interface dangerous and dumb

Other than the touchscreen feature, the car has been pretty good and I like it. My wife likes it. I will never buy another vehicle with just the touchscreen stuff. I want a knob I can quickly and safely manipulate without having to be distracted from watching the road.

Fantastic vehicle; even after 3 years

We’ve owned this gem for 3 weeks and it truly the best car we’ve ever owned. Great street appeal and tremendous acceleration and handling. Voice commends are disappointing. UPDATE: After 3 years, the vehicle is still a great piece of transportation. MPG over 3 years of mixed driving (21,000 miles) is 27.5. Sensus Voice commands still disappointing especially compared with my 2023 XC40 recharge with the Google based system. Only issues were 1) power mirrors went haywire and not holding their position and 2) rear trunk support struts made noise. Both items covered by warranty.

One serious flaw

There is no way to turn off the engine auto stop start. In Florida at a stop light, air conditioning reduced. Unfortunately, a “fatal” flaw with this otherwise nice package.

Complicated and time consuming

I traded my 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee for a Volvo primarily because my wife wasn’t comfortable driving the larger Jeep. 1st off I was very pleased with the appearance of th Volvo and it was a pleasure to drive. Disappointments were discovered after purchase which I’ll list. My XC40 B5 has dynamic cruse control buttons but no dynamic cruse control and it cannot be added. No tire pressure display. It does have a very old system based on wheel speed indicators that will provide a falt once a tire gets seriously deflated. I’m guessing it will not identify the offending tire. Blind spot indicator is visual only and audio is not available. All of the above features were standard on my Jeep

One of the most impressive cars I've owned

This car is awesome. Unbelievable features, great power, and comfortable ride. What more do you want? Reliability? It gets an average score for reliability, but I haven't had the car long enough to comment on its reliability, but it seems to be one of the best cars I've owned - so far.
