This is nice car compared to other cars in same category(acura MDX,BMW X5,Audi Q7) in terms of third row space ,value for the money and technology . I strongly recommend to get Head's up display(HUD) which is 900 $ option as it will help you when you are using semi autonomous feature(pilot assist) and adaptive cruise control feature .

2017 XC90 T6 Inscription after 4 years

Really want to love this car but struggling with build quality and service. Both are not up to par with other luxury brands considering the price you pay. Bought ours brand new back in 2017 with all options including air suspension. As of this review it has 28K miles after almost 4 years, always garaged and well maintained. Pros: Great styling inside and out. The interior is one of the best we saw. Comfortable seats, quiet interior. Love the air suspension and ability to put into dynamic sports mode. The Bowers and Wilkens sound system sounds great. 4 cylinder engine a little noisy at high revs, but otherwise ok and powerful enough for our occasional San Francisco to Los Angeles trips. Cons: Interior squeaks, rattles, high pitch noise. For a $75K car, i expected better build quality. Even a $3K sound system cannot drown out the annoying noises. After 2 years a high pitch noise from the dashboard developed when driving over rough asphalt, dealer could not identify source and would not replace. After 3 years, constant squeaking noise from 2nd row developed regardless of road condition or if anyone is sitting there or not. Dealer told me that Volvo only has 1 year warranty on squeaks, rattles. Also after 3 years, one of the chrome trim on the window started to come off, dealer also told me Volvo only has 1 year warranty on body and trim defects. Net is Volvo can provide a better customer experience by improving the build quality, or at least having a better warranty to address issues that come up in the first 4 years. I've had several Lexus cars in the past including a 1996 LX450 that I drove for 15 years 273K miles and never experienced so many annoying noises from the cabin. I have a BMW that has a more comprehensive warranty that covers these type of issues. Service also can be improved, it's very difficult to get loaner vehicles unlike Lexus and BMW, but this may be specific to the dealer I go to (McKevitt Volvo in San Leandro, CA). Based on the cost of the car compared to my experience that last 4 years, I would probably not buy another Volvo. Hope this helps someone.

I love my 2017 XC90 T6 Momentum. I have had it for about 4 months and done multiple road trips will no problems. The car accelerates like a beast when merging or passing and handles very well. After reading a lot of reviews about road noise, i made sure that i got the 19" stock wheels and as a result the car is fairly quiet (still need to be careful with potholes though). I would definitely recommend.

I had this SUV for little over 9 months and 6K miles on it. My wife does not drive it very much as she uses a vanpool to get to work. We did not spend much time exploring this cars features. We did realize after nine months that the car actually had a coin holder :( and that the door to the coin holder was stuck. Took it to the dealer Momentum Jaguar Volvo in Houston where I bought it from and explained the issue. They kept the car for a day and said they had to order a part to fix it and told me it will be a warranty repair. Next day they call me to tell me that it won't be covered by warranty because the door was stuck because of a spill. I explained it to them that we had not used the car very much and that's the way the coin holder was until we realized it was a coin holder. If they left it at that I would have gladly taken the car back. They took out the center console and wanted $400 install it back. When I looked at the disassembled center console I did see some spill on to the sides of the console but nothing actually in the coin holder door mechanism. It looked like the dealer wanted to just charge me $690 to replace the coin holder because volvo does not reimburse them that much if it was done under warranty. They even called volvo customer care and made sure I cannot preemptively talk to them and have it replaced under warranty. I even purchased an extended warranty through volvo for this car. And all volvo and the dealer wanted to do was cut corners by claiming the damage was caused by the spill when actually there was no water damage to the coin holder itself. They won't admit that it was defective to start with. All this for replacing a $90 coin holder. I would recommend people looking into buying this car to make sure what kind of service the dealer will provide after the purchase. Reade reviews about the dealer service department before purchasing, because most of the headache with volvo cars is dealing with dishonest dealers service department. Your warranty is as good as nothing because it is the service advisors discretion in deciding if they want to do it under warranty. They will cook up some reason to not repair even warrantable items because they can charge the customer more than what Volvo would reimburse them.

UPDATE: I am happy to update my review and I can only say I "Love this car". It so luxurious! Every time I get into it and start it I feel so good just sitting in it. It truly is a wonderfully designed automobile. It drives so smooth. You do have to be careful because it is so quiet and drives so easily you can wind up going faster than you should. I would highly recommend this car! I owned a 2007 XC90 and it was the best car I ever owned. It has 141,000 miles and still runs and looks like new. I purchased a new 2017 XC90 T6 fully loaded two weeks ago mostly because of my experience with my first Volvo XC90 was so awesome. it is beautiful inside and out, has all the newest safety features, has all the latest technology that a car can have, it has the best audio for your cell phone I have heard in any vehicle, and the list goes on.
