We leased this car because is has more leg room in the rear seat than compared to most large suv's in this price range. The technology is amazing! The autopilot system actually drives the car for you...gas, brake and steering!

I absolutely love this car. I picked one up that just came off of a lease. The car drives beautifully and is really sexy. My wife tried stealing it from me. The only issues I would say are that you need to get the supercharged T6 engine. The gas mileage isn’t great but I’m coming from a Jeep GC to this... so it’s a push.

I really wanted this car. I really expected it to be all I wanted in a SUV, stylish, comfortable, technologically advanced, with a semi-auto pilot function and reliable. All my expectations were and still not fulfilled. The car manifested noise level higher than normal since the beginning. Noise from the outside plus a cabin not soundproofed like competitors. The electronics promised wonders but delivered nightmares. The car main and driver screens continuously black out and takes forever to reboot. Once you start the car it takes longer than usual for the system to load, you cannot even engage the reverse right away and expect to see the camera: you have to waaiiiiiit. And the service says that is normal. Absurd. the semi autonomous driving is no better than the rest of the car. If and when it engages you might expect it to stop working without any warning. The handling and engine are up to par with the rest of the car: rubbish! I do not want this to get too long, so I will just conclude saying that the customer service is useless as the car itself. If you are in the market for this segment go with anything else but this car, it is plenty of great alternatives and I regret my purchase everyday.

Oh, were do I start? I will keep this short. DO NOT buy a new model year Volvo XC90. Our first 2016 XC90 was in the shop more than we drove it. Volvo ended up buying it back from us. The problems are too many to list, but range from dashboard and info screens going dark (while driving), auto park feature wanting to engage when stopped at a stop light, exhaust noises during acceleration, AC not working properly from time to time, the $2,600 B&W sound system who's speaker grills rattle more than anyone should tolerate and driver profile settings not working/syncing with the key fobs, acceleration is jerky and anything but smooth (we have the Polestar performance chip installed) and various infotainment glitches. Now the kicker, Volvo wanted to keep us "in the family" and worked a deal to get us a new 2017. LOL, this one has the same issues and has been in the shop 5 more times, with one of those service appts lasting 4 weeks. Also, it gets terrible gas mileage (15 mpg city-20 mpg hwy) and the ride is so stiff it’s worse than driving my BMW with the sports suspension pkg. You feel EVERY bump and crack and not in a good way. The whole driving experience is like a twitchy, nervous gazelle before a lion feeding frenzy. Don’t believe all the reviews that paint a glorious picture after driving this SUV for a few hours. The designers, engineers and Volvo management should be ashamed of the car they approved and built I wish we would have walked away after the first one was returned. Now I see why the original Volvo company went bankrupt. Never Again

The new Volvo seduced us with it's looks, interior, technology, and promise of reliability. A year later, I am reminded of when Mom said, "looks aren't everything". In less than 12 months of ownership we've had the car in for warranty repair Iver a DOZEN times, for everything from windows leaking water to being towed in because the vehicle was broken in limp mode. I won't detail e ery issue, but I will relate what a friendly color technician told me as we were performing a test drive - "none of the new Volvos break the same.". For me, this indicates total quality issues with the vehicles, and I recommend staying away from the Geely generation of Volvos...unless you enjoy spending your time in service department waiting rooms. Oh, and generally speaking the Volvo dealerships/service departments are lacking in amenities when compared to other luxury brands (Florida), except for Hendrick Volvo in Charleston, SC, which is a flagship store. TL;DR, these aren't the droids you're looking for, move along.
