Used 2016 Volvo XC90 T6 Inscription 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Twincharger 8A) Consumer Reviews
Great SUV --- Road Noise killed it for us
I was very excited about the XC 90 and love the interior, sound system, interface, seats etc..Test drove it on the freeway, and it was so loud we could not stand it. We even like the car so much we tried to talk our selfs out of the sound being not and issue, but could not! Volvo has to improve the sound proofing of a vehicle of this caliber and cost. Hopefully next years model will be better!

Only one engine option?
I currently own a 2006 Volvo XC90 V8 and I'm in the market for a new SUV. My Volvo dealer gave me a loaner 2016 XC90 Inscription to drive for the day. I was impressed with the comfortable seating, cabin layout and conservative exterior design. I WAS SOLD.....until I actually drove it. The 4 cyl engine is the only option and right away I noticed the lack of performance off the line, on hills and especially passing at low speeds. Mid range performance is decent and there were moments when I felt it all come together but I couldn't get past the under sized engine.

Expensive car for poor taste
I went into this experience with an open mind. Never owned a foreign car, people I know raved about the xc90 inscription. I sent out and looked at a couple and ended up purchasing one. Within a week I regretted my decision, the ride isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, the seats aren’t too comfy, the “dynamic” option for drive mode is barely an improvement. Could have bought a brand new suv with no miles for the same price and got the same/ possibly better quality
New Volvo
It's a spaceship. Genuinely impressed. The touchscreen takes some playing around to adequately understand (>4 hours). Very comfortable.

Still pleased with the decision to buy!
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.
