Great looking and feeling SUV. Drives very nicely, the interior is gorgeous (we have the R-Design). Our V6 Grand Cherokee felt much quicker than our T6 and also had some features that I am shocked this Xc90 does not have. For one, remote start on the key fob. Sure you can start it via the phone, but I should not have to buy the remote start via the key fob as an accessory from Volvo. Both of our previous Jeep has had this as standard as do many cars at half the price. We recently had a low tire and you just get a warning light and not the actual tire pressure. Something we had on our last to GC's and for that matter I remember my 1998 Corvette having it. Having the actual pressure can help you make the safest decisions as you deal with the issue. The pilot assist is not up to par with that of a VW Atlas nor is the ease of use of the technology compared to the Atlas or our Jeep. There are some other annoying things about it, but we still like it a lot. Just glad it is leased and we did not buy it. If we could do it again, we would probably just buy another Atlas SEL Premium or maybe the MDX. More usable (the Atlas), drives almost as good and while you give up a little on interior materials to save $20k would certainly be worth it.

2018 XC60 upgraded to 2020 XC90 in June 2020. Quiet, safe and very reliable. Nothing ever goes wrong with these Volvos. Only service was to replace windshield after flying rock hit on I-95. Considered every mid size luxury SUV on market. It was important that vehicle not be crass. Logos on grille that light up, exhausts making fake and pop sounds scream juvenile. And restrained styling inside and out are very important - the Germans and Japanese hard to stomach. Range Rover has horrible reliability issues. Volvo for Life.

Well, I am 2 months into owning my XC90 and I am shocked at a few things. I bought the top of the line model, almost every option (although SHOCKINGLY) I did not realize Volvo skimped on giving me a hitch. Yes, the car has a hitch that "pop out" with the press of a button. I was assured it had it, had to have it, but upon COVID delivery, found out after the documents were signed it did not have it, and this is a $71,000 car. $71k! and no hitch from Volvo - the alleged, "all weather" car. That said, here are my observations. The entertainment center SUCKS during real world driving. You really need to set things before you leave or pull over - very dangerous. The menus are still confusing a month in and finding things remains a mystery. Safety? I bought the version that allegedly brakes for you, but I have tested it both on purpose and by accident and it seems to fail to go off every time. It constantly warns you that you are too close with the heads up display, but DOES NOT BRAKE. So this may be a recall item because it is on the build sheet. The fuel mileage is AWFUL. I am averaging 14.9 miles per gallon. Yes, a 4 cylinder that averages 14.9. My Jeep with a lift kit and huge 37" wheels gets 15.5 mpg. Where on earth is the 20 mpg I was supposed to get? I have taken no less than 50 trips and my fuel mileage remains very, very low. This seems to be a huge problem because 14mpg is atrocious for this car if that is the case in the city. Seats. Wow, blew me away when I sat in it the first time but I have to say I constantly feel like I am being pushed forward. I feel they are not deep enough and even angle my seats slightly up so I do not feel like I will slide forward. With the massaging on, I think it is even worse. The automatic thigh support is nice, but going through the menus to adjust it, on the fly, again, very dangerous. PHONE: EEKs, this may be the worst part. I take calls all the time in the car and have to crank the volume to 50 (halfway) to even hear people. And this, with the higher end stereo. Why does the volume suffer on calls so badly? Comfort: Overall not bad, but am I thrilled about the above 45 days in? No. Again, my version is likely far better than 85% of the people who will read this as the car has almost every option Volvo order, save the aforementioned lacking of a hitch. OMG - terrible it does not have a hitch at $70,000!!! That said, it drives well, lags a bit on take off with the 4 cylinder but gets up there as good as most SUV's. NOISES: I will say, upon exit, the car makes all kinds of weird creeks and noises. I know it is brand new, but it is a little unnerving. Little pings, bangs and creaking of the suspension or something. The car does lower when you get out, but it is not that noise. Final note: KEY FOBS: Very nice looking, among the nicest LOOKING fobs regarding of buying a Bugatti or a Volvo. That said, the buttons are EXTREMELY hard to see and the beeping when you lock the car is so low, you cannot even hear it from inside your house. What car does not sound loud when you lock it? Well, the Volvo XC90 for one. So yes, there are many things that have disappointed me after buying it. Again, test driving it - we loved it. It looked great, sounded great, had no real issue and that is why we landed on it as the car to buy. But I will say the lack of power for the third row seats (at $70,000 or even higher), the infotainment, the seats pushing forward positioning, the noises, and the lack of a hitch and other things at this price really makes me wonder if I picked the right car. They say it takes time to get use to - well, I am 45 days in, and have 3-stared the car. There is your answer.

I was disappointed once I finally test drove the XC90. Nice looking ride, but unresponsive and underpowered I thought. I understand going to a 4 cylinder to save gas, but, not worth the trade off imo. This SUV needs a V6. Maybe next time Volvo.
