Our NEW Volvo XC 90 has been in for service 5 times since purchased. So far everything has been an electrical problem...AC won’t turn on, screen goes blank, blinkers out, brights won’t work, mirrors won’t adjust, phone calls out and rings and you can’t cut it off, AC won’t turn on...worth mentioning twice when you live in Texas. Twice, these things have gone wrong right before a road trip, being the main reason we bought it. My list is extensive. Very inconvenient! They do resolve the problem each time but this is not what we expected with a luxury brand new vehicle. We contacted Volvo USA but they are unwilling to help in anyway. This is our fourth Volvo, never before have we experienced such issues. Customer service??

Although considered an SUV, the 2020 XC90 handles like a high performance vehicle offering a Dynamic driving option that provides that extra boost you need in start and stop traffic and tackling curvy hilly roads. Hugs the road nicely with no swaying. And, I managed to attain 28.5 mpg on long trips in the Eco setting! With 35k on the odometer, I have had no mechanical or other issues. Simply love the car!! Lastly, computer console is easy to navigate for a non-technical person like myself.

I am very happy with my new Volvo XC90. Even the base model is beautiful and comes with every conceivable safety feature. This model used to have a stiff, jittery ride but they changed the design a couple of years ago and the ride is now as good as Mercedes. Overall comfort is better than Mercedes. Responsiveness is better than I expected. For what you get, this car is a spectacular value.

I have always been a faithful Toyota girl. Loved both my sequoias but hated the gas mileage. This is my first luxury car and I really want to love it, however I’ve had it just under a year as I literally drive to the shop to pick it up for the 4th time. The ride is nice, fuel efficiency is great but my sequoias never went to the shop for anything other than standard maintenance. At less than 1000 miles in reverse I had a shuddering jolt that happened multiple times. First time in shop no one could find anything wrong. Happened again multiple times so I dropped it off, drive an hour home to get a call that I need to come pick it up and Volvo was acknowledging a problem and had tech journal out with no solution yet. Continued driving and happened so finally I called and demanded they keep it until it was fixed. Said they needed an O ring rebuild kit for the rear differential. After a few days in the shop they say it’s done and just needed an update. Worked great for a bit. About 2 months later my airbag light goes off while driving. After a few key cycles it went off and they said everything was fine. Now flash forward 3 more months I put in drive let my foot off the brake and a terrible shutter and lunge, this time forward instead of back. My power steering light comes on and says pull over safely, check engine and park assist all go off. I have towed to Volvo and when it gets there they’re like what’s wrong there’s nothing going on? They call the next day and say it needed a major upgrade. I really want to love this car I mean I spent 70k dollars on it. I bought the extended warranty because I work in the automotive industry and know how expensive it is to work in Volvo’s. I also will keep a car for a while but I’m worried now what happens when this car is out of warranty. I’ve never needed to update my Toyota’s.

Beautiful inside and out, fast, extremely comfortable and functional. The Swedes don't follow the juvenile play book of the Germans with exhaust that fart & pop under hard acceleration. No glow in the dark logo on a ridiculously over sized grill or with in dash distracting screens everywhere. Yet Volvo has the on board tech the Japanese haven't managed to integrate in their designs. Flawless build quality. If I sound like I'm sold on the brand you're right. My second Volvo in three years after leasing six Audi. Will never go back. Update: new EX90 Twin Performance EV on order. Still #VolvoForLife
