The 2016 XC-90 rides well, has incredible comfortable seats, all 7 of them! Cargo capacity is fine and acceleration a pleasant surprise given the relatively small engine. MPG has been in the 23 mpg around town and 27-28 on the highway. The dealer claims we can use regular gas but we have been using premium as indicated in the user manual. There have been multiple software updates during the 80,00 miles we have used the car but the dealership has been very helpful in explaining what needed to be done and why. The navigation system is no better than others we have experienced and voice control sometimes seems to only respond to a foreign language I do not know! My wife and I love the car and hope to continue running it for many years as we have with all our cars.

I really want to love my 2016 XC90 momentum. A great looking car. I have 25,000 miles on the vehicle in less than 1 year of ownership. We have been in the shop for a total of 2 weeks to fix Sensus which boots and reboots. Navigation that stops. Loud clicking noises every time you turn, stop and go. Fealership replaced wheel bearings but still have the clicking issue and now the ride is horrible even after new tires etc.. as the vehicle shakes, rattles and rolls. I just took a very painful 8 hour family trip to Disney and now I am looking for my next vehicle. Pros. Good gas mileage, great interior layout with useable 3rd row seat. Love Sensus when it works. If the clicking could stop and the vehicle rode smooth like it did when first purchased then I would love it.

I love this car - it makes me very happy - and it's dark purple - so I named it Purple Rain. I wanted AWD, HOV sticker, that comfortably seats 7. Not too many vehicles fit that bill.
