Beautiful “Luxury” Cute SUV

2020 Volvo XC90 T6 Momentum 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Twincharger 8A)

This car is comfortable, beautiful, spacious, and modern. It has so much technology. I am still learning. The folks at White Plains Volvo helped me get the basics. They were great. It has ALL the safety features you could imagine and more. Lane Keep Assist, Blind Spot Monitor, Pilot Assist, 360 View Camera if you want( I don’t have it), HUD(Heads Up Display , which I don’t have), Remote Start and climate control directly from your Volvo phone app, Apple Car Play, Android Auto, Volvo apps such as weather, Glympse(I think), Google Search, Spotify, Pandora, Navigation, WiFi with AT&T, Sirius XM Radio, Digital Driver Information Display, Parking Sensors, and more. I leased the Momentun, which is NOT the most expensive. In addition, they include Complimentary Factory Scheduled Maintenance. This covers the first three services (10,000 miles, 20,000 miles and 30,000 miles) at no charge. Finally, my only concern is reliability. I only paid approximately $51,000 after the rebates and discounts. I love my Volvo. :)

Great Vehicle

The XC90 has meet our expectations. Our three row vehicle with bucked seats feels very spacious. Performance (acceleration and handling) has been good and gas mileage not that bad. Handling in snow and dirt roads was solid. The technology features are fantastic. We have had a few minor glitches - rear heating also causing the front fan to blow and blind spot warning not seeming to activate. Our choice of the XC90 was the right one.

Great car but but significant room for improvement

Car drives great, could use a little more power, maybe a V6 (I have the T6). Some design features arent the greatest - could use a few more buttons instead of a tablet, microscopic cup holders in a family vehicle? Visibility is horrendous when merging right due to the headrest in the second row. The Park assist is a fun gadget but not practical to use in real life. Pilot assist is buggy and is hair raisingly scary if used on roads with traffic lights or on roads where the lines are even slightly ambiguous. Best to keep it for highways. The tablet looks Tesla like but is not the most practical to control air etc when you are driving.Hands free Tailgate is quite poorly designed and takes a while to get used to. The child booster seat is pretty well designed though.Wish rear sunshades were an option. Why doesnt a 62k_ car have power tilt and telescopic steering and more controls on the seats.

We have the 6 passenger momentum t8 hybrid with the advanced package, and couldn’t be happier with it. We live in the city and have been amazed to find we are getting around 35-40mpg. For longer trips on the freeway the adaptive cruise control is fantastic, you set your ideal speed and the amount of following distance you want to keep to the car in front of you and the car will do all the accelerating and decelerating for you, when traffic slows so does the car without any need to break. Also, the 6 passenger interior is perfect it is spacious and you can easily access the third row, plus since there’s a center aisle the people in the last row aren’t so cramped since they can extend their legs into the aisle. The interior is what you would expect from Volvo, luxurious and incredibly comfortable.

Update after 4 years: still own it. Good vehicle - one minor malfunction with the wipers not working but somehow self corrected. Update after 3 years: car drives very well and I am used to the power but a V6 would have been better. Interior is beautiful and comfortable but some more practicality like bigger cup holders, more storage etc would be nice. Concerned about reliability as our AC compressor failed but thankfully was still under warranty. The extended warranty is very pricy. Car drives great, could use a little more power, maybe a V6 (I have the T6). Some design features arent the greatest - could use a few more buttons instead of a tablet, microscopic cup holders in a family vehicle? Visibility is horrendous when merging at an angle right due to the headrest in the second row. The Park assist is a fun gadget but not practical to use in real life. Pilot assist is buggy and is hair raisingly scary if used on roads with traffic lights or on roads where the lines are even slightly ambiguous. Best to keep it for highways. The tablet looks Tesla like but is not the most practical to control air etc when you are driving.Hands free Tailgate is quite poorly designed and takes a while to get used to. The child booster seat is pretty well designed though.Wish rear sunshades were an option. Why doesnt a $62k car have power tilt and telescopic steering and more controls on the seats. Updated after 6 months - car drives well and no technical problems but I’ve put in just 2k miles. Volvo needs to add practical features like bigger cup holders, power tilt and telescoping steering, more storage, sun glasses holder etc. love the drive but interior design leaves a lot to be desired. Update after 1 year. Still a good SUV to drive but the utility of the interior design is severely lacking for a family. It’s still much better than a Q7 or X5 though in space and utility. Utility seems better in a Atlas, pilot or Highlander. Will not be renewing my lease in 2 years. 2 year Update - same issues, fun to drive but could be more powerful, looks great in and out but the interior isn’t very practical, the Momentum trim needs better seats, storage space, and some better tech at this price. Updated after 2 years. The car is a pleasure to drive and beautiful to look at. But at this price point, it should have had a few more features like power tilt and telescoping steering, rear side sunshades etc. storage in the front section is dismal. Please learn from Honda. This is a family SUV and not a sports car, families need storage. They even cheaped out on the TPMS - it won’t tell you the pressure on each tire dTPMS. It uses iTPMS which tells you it’s low but not how much. Final Update: AC stopped working sometime in winter but first noticed it on the first hot spring day. No appointments for repair for 2 weeks and even then no loaner cars. With no good lease deals and a so so experience over 3 years, unlikely to extend into a new XC90 lease.
