Enough range that I don't use any gas on a standard commute and drives like a dream.

The Jury is still out, so you have to come back

We are only three months into leasing this car. It takes some time to get to know the Android OS that controls it. YouTube videos help. Then disaster struck. Waiting at an intersection, the car ahead didn't move, and the car behind decided to reverse, and then go into the oncoming lane to move ahead. He forgot to put it in reverse, and nailed it straight into the Volvo's rear. Disgusting feeling to know you have been hit. The car is now at the body shop. Will have been out of service for three weeks when we get it back. And this is why the jury is out! Will they be able to repair it? Sure, the rear parts will be replaced and it will look fine, BUT will the complex sensors - software function as before? It was all fine before the accident, but this does not mean it will all be fine afterwards. Repairing complex system cars can go beyond the abilities of body shops and even the Volvo dealers. I will come back with an update once we get it back.

Caveat Emptor: First and Last Volvo Purchase

I drove a new Audi Q7 (2017, Premium Plus trim) until buying the 2024 Volvo XC90 Recharge two months ago. This is hands-down the worst overall experience I’ve ever had with a car. The user experience (UX) design engineers could learn a lot from the German, Japanese, Korean and even American models in its class. The interior components feel cheep and gimmicky. For example, the interior pockets in the front doors of the vehicle feel flimsy to the touch - the pockets are made of such thin plastic that you can literally feel the pocket bend when manipulating it between your fingers. Even the netting on the fronts of the back seats misses the design benefits that of having a vertical groove that allows one to easily slide his/her finger between the back of the chair and the netting when storing or retrieving a magazine or some other object normally secured in this space. The netting is so tight that, without a simple vertical groove, it requires two hands to store or remove an object. Volvos are renowned for their storied safety record. While built like a tank, a vehicle that costs $80k should not feel like you’re driving a tank. The tailgate makes a loud thud when it is released or closed - loud enough that it reverberates throughout the rest of the vehicle. It sounds like the tailgates on oversized, American-made station wagons circa 1975 that my parents had. The horn has two settings: 1) off or 2) obnoxiously loud and rude-sounding - again, modeled after that 70’s era station wagon - that required one to firmly depress the horn with substantial force to toggle the horn from its off position to the “offending your fellow motorists” on position. The UI on the infotainment system is all Google (with the option for Apple Car Play). It is unwieldy and not at all intuitive. Simple things like setting the cruise control are overthought and, while I can make phone calls over Bluetooth it requires me to be hardwired via USB-C to play over Spotify on Apple Car Play. I asked the dealer about this and was told I should just enable my Google logon directly in the UI. When I asked about what that would mean, should my wife drive my car and was told she wouldn’t be able to use it and that the less than satisfying USB-C experience would be necessary. One final note on the USB-C, unless you firmly and forcibly jam it into the phone, the car doesn’t register it as connected. This is absolutely maddening as, should you be fortunate enough to get the USB-C to connect to your phone, the connection is so tenuous that an acceleration, turn or deceleration is usually enough to break the connection - and interrupt whatever music or podcast you were listening to. I can’t communicate just how frustrating this is. Lastly, as it pertains to the phone, the cabin and dashboard were designed without a place to set your phone. I’m not expecting it to have wireless charging (like my wife has in her Tesla), but it is insane that in the year 2024 design engineers would build a vehicle without at least a place to hold your phone while in transit. I could go on, but doing so will only raise my blood pressure. While I paid a 20% for the Volvo more than I paid for the Audi, the quality and value found in the Q7 offer orders of magnitude more quality, refinement and value. I plan to suffer through another 10 months of driving this vehicle and will quickly get rid of it for something. Caveat Emptor!

This is my second XC90 Plug-in Hybrid. We are 5 in my family, and having a third row means we can bring friends or relatives along. Now that two of my kids have team sports I can bring them along with 4 other friends. We drive between 12 and 60 miles a day, depending if my wife or I take the car. In my office I can charge the car. At hole we have a 230 volts charger. Our first gas tank lasted for 3 months. We basically need to refill whenever we go for road trips. I love that sustainable aspect. I really like the safety features, in particular, the pilot assist. Being able to follow the car in front all the way toa full stop in traffic is great! But having the capability to keep you centered in your lane as long as it is painted, is fantastic. I basically keep a hand in the wheel so it senses it but all the turning, acceleration and breaking is done by the car when in the highway. It makes driving less tiring and more enjoyable. It is also very quiet. Not just when running fully electric, but because it does a good job isolating outside noise. It also has a great air filtration system. I can barely smell any bad outside odors when driving, specially handy when driving behind smoky cars. Seats are comfortable, and the third road is not bad, although you might need to move the 2nd row seats forward a bit if your guest’s sitting in third row are taller. Plenty of space in the trunk with the third row down. With that one up, you do have less room. The car also has great visibility looking forward. The apple maps with CarPlay now also show in the display behind the steering wheel. I still think it looks sharp and have no complains.

Agile and nimble steering. Extremely comfortable seats with useful adjustability. Superior air conditioning system. Competitively priced. My only complaint is that the highway road noise is more than I expected.
