More luxury for a lesser price

Compared the features and value to the Audi Q7 and found this vehicle superior over all. While the Audi might be a bit sportier, this vehicle is a great fit for someone looking for a luxury ride.

XC90 - luxury, quiet, relax, powerful

2019 T6 Inscription - Been a Volvo owner for many years. Traded in my wife Mercedes E350 for the T6. Some say the engine is not powerful - it is powerful - yeah its a 4 cylinder and sounds like it but it works well. If you want a better sounding engine look elsewhere but that is not the reason for buying the car. Yes the infortainment system or lets say the Volvo's iPad contains many (most) functions and there is a learning curve but a short one. Once one understands it - it is a breeze to use but if you are one that has trouble with your smart phone then this is not for you. Bottom line the "iPad" works great and it is easy to use. It is QUIET - thankfully it has all the safety bells and whistles because I might fall to sleep as it is so quiet especially with the seat massager on. It is luxurious with its Nappa leather Volvo seats - these seats are the best. I have had many Volvos and every seat was great. I prefer "Zippy sporty" cars however I really appreciate the relax peaceful yet accurate driving XC90. Get the Air Suspension it just smooths out the ride otherwise the ride is very European which I find very nice also but others may find to "sharp" on our american roads. It has great visibility and all the tech that one will need and more. It is worth putting this on your list to test drive.

This is my first foreign vehicle purchase. The safety features and Pilot Assist are amazing. Both the exterior and interior fit and trim are top notch. The interior is luxurious and extremely comfortable. So far I cannot say enough positive about the Volvo CX 90 Inscription, three thumbs up 👍👍👍🤣

Our first Volvo SUV

We just love our XC90 T6 R-Design (we've had it for two months now, and my wife and I usually have to fight over who is going to drive it). The vehicle rides extremely well, and the engine (with Polestar) produces excellent power and torque. We test drove a model without Polestar, and both the power and torque are very good. We are still learning all the technology, but if you are using it every day, you'll learn fairly fast. Reading the owner's manual is recommended as certain features are not most intuitive (read carefully the section on automatic car wash, if you plan on using it). Our vehicle came with Bowers & Wilkins premium sound system (worth every penny, although it is pricey) and four-corner air suspension (we love this). I just wished the vehicle came with a CD drive (we are still a bit old school, but learned that one can actually buy a Volvo CD player as an accessory).

The ride quality sucks, it feels rickety and unstable over 70 mph. The four banger engine is ridiculously underpowered, and sounds like a joke. The electronics are glitchy, and the infotainment system is so poorly designed, I want to put my fist through it on a regular basis. I'm serious, it's that bad, it is so unusable, it drives me into fits of rage. The build quality is poor, particularly given its price. Parts are constantly failing and unless I want to spend all my time in the dealership, there is always something faulty on the car. I hate this car so much, but apparently so does everyone else, because its value has plummeted. I am so upside down on my car loan I can't get out. I hate this POS with a passion. DO NOT BUY A VOLVO.
