I am actually glad that I leased as hoping to pull it off for the next 3 years. thank god I did not buy. It has the worst response in any computer. Also too many complex security measures that makes the car just less than ordinary features than my 2011 Sienna.

All what is good about the car is the look. Nothing else. I am driving XC60 for almost three years. Twice I had to go to repair water leak around the doors. Acceleration is very poor and seams to me very 'lazy' car. Comfort is not so great as I am getting a back pain when driving longer then 2 hrs. I am also driving Ford and don't have this problem. Resale value 50% down after three years and very low mileage. And the worst thing ever is the app. I paid $500 for it. This is not worth it!!! The app controlling your car! You can't start car for more then twice in a row. Maps can't be used when the car is in use, which means if you are driving and have somebody else in the car wants to use this app, they can't. You stop the car to add the address to be sent to your car, and it takes minimum of 15 minutes for app to recognize the car is not in use. This app is a joke.

Volvo's technology screen is horrible totally User unfriendly and makes driving extremely hazardous worse than texting. Navigation is totally unusable voicing unrecognizable. I knew more about the car then the dealership Working with them was extremely frustrating ready to pull my hair out!! MONMOUTH VOLVO

I bought a new 2018 XC90 after waiting years for my dream car. Between 12-24 months of ownership it has been into the dealership 5 times for service that was not scheduled maintenance. 3/5 times were errors I was getting driving that required a "computer/module update." The other visits were to replace a temperature sensor that started reading 15-20 degrees off in the Texas heat-which affects the auto start/stop function of the car and to get a new secondary battery that had caused the auto start/stop to malfunction. The interior and exterior have held up beautifully and it is fun to drive. I would only recommend this car if you have a dealership close by for unanticipated/planned computer updates.

Horrible lock system

This vehicle has a ridiculously complicated lock system....It requires 31 pages of instruction in the owner's manual! The app includes a function that allows you to unlock the car doors remotely. The problem is that when you get to the car you are required to open the tailgate before the doors will unlock. This is a huge hassle if I want to send my kids out to get in the car or am carrying an armload of stuff to toss in the backseat. Unlocking the doors using the fob isn't much better as the doors will re-lock within 2 minutes if not opened promptly. This morning I wanted to grab my sunglasses out the car before my walk but I missed the magic 2 minute window. So I had to go back up to my place to unlock the car again. When I unlock my car I expect the the car to be unlocked. I don't need Volvo to worry about my security or second guess my choices for me. A lot is expected from a vehicle at this price point. What I did not expect is daily frustration over door locks. Thankfully I leased and didn't purchase.
