2023 Volvo XC90 B6 Ultimate Bright 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Twincharger gas/electric mild hybrid 8A)

So last week we traded in our Audi Q5 for an XC90 Ultimate. After driving it for a little over a week and about 150 miles I can make a few comments. First off if you don’t have 20/20 vision you’ll hate the key. Not sure what they were thinking as the controls on the FOB are too small to see. I don’t understand just why all the controls are on the screen as the last thing you want to do while driving is take your eyes off the road. Thank goodness many of the controls can be verbally controlled by google. Even the vibrating seat needs to be controlled from the screen and doesn’t have a timer to turn it off. The car drives very lose like a boat not like our BMW or our Audi which has much better road feel. Now the positives! The interior of the car is stunning . The seats are super comfortable .The Bowers & Wilkinson stereo maybe the best I’ve ever heard. The $1800 air ride will take some getting used to so I won’t comment. There are a ton of what I’d call amenities in the car. The GPS is great . The ride when on a straightaway is ok and I guess on a long ride won’t tire you out. I highly suggest they have some older individuals be involved in the design and controls as they will probably be 75% of the buyers at $78,000. I’ll follow up at a later date once my mind can wrap around all the IT crap. I miss my Audi! Oh we do feel VERY safe driving this huge machine . Update after 6,000 miles. I’m starting to think some the reason I didn’t love this beast was the lousy dealer prep. So much for the $1000 prep charge. After rotating and BALANCING the tires ( which the dealer never did ) the car drives much better. Electronics are still a pain but I can deal with it. Would I ever buy another Volvo. NO! UPDATE: We’ve owned this SUV for almost 2 years . Certainly feel safe in case of an accident and it does really well on fuel economy for its size but that’s where the good stops. The google infotainment system D- . I’ve never had as many issues with an $80,000 car EVER. The car has every available option and I’ve should have known that there would be issues. I hate the fact that we’ll be losing so much money trading it in but the aggravation factor is not worth my health. The upgraded stereo is amazing and at least playing it load helps take away the road noise . For a heavy SUV with the $1800 air suspension you’d expect a nice comfortable quiet ride . NOPE I’m going back to Audi where they actually care .

I love the simplicity of the cabin, and the slightly better fuel economy over the B6, as well as the cost savings from the T8. Adaptive cruse controll practically drives the car for you, and the google integration is fantastic! No more wires for carplay/android auto. Very VERY happy with this XC90 trim (purchased after owning the T6 Inscription, and B5 plus is vastly superior in my oppinion).

2024 Volvo XC90 B6 Ultimate 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Twincharger gas/electric mild hybrid 8A)
3 of 4 people found this review helpful
This is my 3rd new Volvo. I just dumped my 2021 Volvo with the T8 Recharge drive since the ERAD failed after only 2yrs/17k miles. Volvo has a very high failure rate on their T8 Recharge ERAD’s (electric rear axle drive), so I leased a new B6 gas/mild hybrid drive instead. Buyer Beware: a Volvo T8 ERAD failure is a Major Component with a $10k dealer replacement cost out of warranty. I’ve owned several Jeep GC’s & was looking at leasing a new Jeep GC V6 Summit but decided on a new XC90 B6 Ultimate for several reasons: Performance: Volvo B6 drive has alot more usable Torque Vs the JeepGC V6 Technology: Better Tech: Volvo Heads Up Display & Driver Assist/Self Driving Value: XC90 B6 Ultimate was less expensive Vs JeepGC V6 Summit. Seating: XC90 B6 has standard 7 pass. seats Vs JeepGC Summit 5 pass. seats Availability: Good inventory of XC60 B6 Ultimate Vs very low JeepGC Summit. 2024 XC90 B6 Ultimate; Cons: B6 is Fwd bias which creates to much understeer/plowing Vs JeepGC Rwd B6 is a basic, automatic Awd vs Jeep GC select 4wd low drive system. B6 Fwd transmission is slow/outdated Vs JeepGC advanced ZF transmission. B6 Ultimate has standard suspension Vs JeepGC Summit air suspension. B6 brake rotors are undersized Vs Jeep GC larger, faster braking, brake rotors. B6 Ultimate has no standard tow bar Vs JeepGC Summit standard tow hitch. B6 Ultimate narrow seats are not as comfortable Vs JeepGC Summit wide seats. Overall, it was close; but the 2024 XC90 B6 Ultimate made the more compelling performance/value offer to me. But if the 2024 JeepGC had their new 420hp Hurricane I-6 turbo engine instead of their Very outdated, low torque V6, I would have leased a JeepGC Summit over the Volvo. So it was a close competition/decision. Hopefully this B6 Volvo won’t breakdown after just 2yr/17k miles like the T8 Volvo did.

The in-lane and distance behind car features have been degraded, cheapened and trash. The car drives jerky on interstate. No actual hard copy owner’s manual. It’s all on the center screen. So much for bringing inside to read through it. Have to sit in the car to read it making it very uncomfortable.
Wish I had not bought it.

The most difficult, least intuitive to operate piece of “equipment” (and I would rather use a 4 letter word) that I have ever tried to operate. I am a 30 year airline pilot typed on Boeing 727, 737, 757, 767 and several military airplanes.
