We have had our XC90 for about 4 months now and have nothing but good things to say about it. We bought the car because we wanted an electric car, but need to hit the road for a 500 mile trip about once a month. At this point in time, we don't have confidence in the electric recharge stops available, and we didn't want to add another hour (at best) to an already long trip. We also don't want to have to "plan a trip" around the location of recharge stops. With this car, we feel we have the right car for the times, as we can go all month at home on electric and never burn a drop of fuel. But, when we have to hit the road, we don't deal with "range anxiety" or any prolonged stops along the way. We just get in and go! The car itself has performed well. We have not had any issues with the car and everything works just fine. We love all of the safety features as our last car did not have any of them. Blind spot alerts, back-up camera, 360 degree "Birds Eye" camera for parking, lane drift alerts, automatic adjusting cruise control and other alerts, all are helpful. We really appreciate the heads up display (HUD). It allows us to keep our eyes on the road, and we don't have to look anywhere else if we're just driving. All the info you need is right there, including navigation instructions. We also find the car to be quiet, the stereo system to be excellent and have to our surprise, even used the third row of seats on a couple of occasions. With the third row seats folded down we have plenty of room to strap in a kennel for our special puppy. He pretty much goes where we go, and we appreciate having the rear seat air vents to keep him comfortable as well. Obviously, we are safety conscious, and the XC90 has been rated as one of the safest cars on the road. Inside the car, we feel very safe and secure, given the weight and solid build of the car. Performance has been more than adequate for our needs, and we wanted a car big enough for our four footed passenger in the back. We also wanted a luxury SUV, but appreciate flying under the radar as we didn't really want a "flashier car". Lastly, we have found the infotainment center to be easy to use once you learn the system. Google maps work perfectly for us, and refreshes quickly if we change our route. The "hey google" voice commands work great for both my wife and myself. We are overall very satisfied with our car. We are safer drivers now and are in a safer car that performs very satisfactorily for us. We love running on electric 95% of the time, but we are lucky in that we have short commutes so the 32 mile range works perfectly for us. As the electric charge system in the US continues to evolve, an all electric car will likely be in our future. For the next five or six years, we believe that we have found the right car for us and would highly recommend it.

We purchased the new 2025 1/2 fully loaded. The car has been in the shop 7 times with known issues. They can't fix it and Volvo hasn't done anything. I have never purchased a brand new car with so many issues. Stay away

i’ve had my volvo for less then a month and have nothing but issues. Remote Start Problem: When I use the remote start feature via the Volvo app, the car starts but does not fully engage when I get inside. The system prompts me to turn the ignition knob, and even when I press the brake and turn the knob, the car does not fully start. I then have to turn the car off through the app and restart it manually with the knob. Apple CarPlay Connectivity: CarPlay works intermittently, often disconnecting after a few days of use. The system displays a message stating that the USB is not connected and that the paired phone cannot be located. After performing a hard reset, CarPlay briefly reconnects, but this issue continues, requiring multiple connections and disconnections of my phone. Sirius Xm will just pause when listening to music out of no where. I have taken the vechile in for service 2 times the first time after they did a “update” the cigarette lighter blew and a fuse needed to be fixed. Took it back the 2nd time and not even after 1 hour of having the car back the check engine light is on. Per the dealerships, this is a known Volvo defect with NO ETA on the fix. Volvo appears to have a latent defect with its cars, and communication is being avoided. The fact that I purchased my first Volvo for the safety aspect (previous Jeep owner) and this is the outcome of choice is mind-blowing. Not only are the cars not safe, but your lack of care for your customer’s safety makes this more concerning.

Recharge: Epically better than a Tesla Model X

I purchased a 2024 XC90 Recharge, switching from a 2020 Model X. I've been running the vehicle for two months, so it is early, but the fact that I'm taking the effort to write a review should say something. This vehicle is light years nicer than the Tesla (and the wheels don't fall off). Originally, I was looking at a Genesis GV80 (super sweet, crap mileage). Instead, I went with the Volvo (1st time owner). Upsides - with electric I'm getting excellent fuel efficiency. Gas only - I'm seeing 26-27 mpg on the highway (75 - 80 mph). I was surprised that gas only motor still has good pick-up, and the vehicle has very good performance. (my other car is a 640 hp CTS-V, so consider the perspective) Interior is excellent, pop-up baby seat is a huge bonus if you have kids. Massive interior room. Downsides - really only seeing 25 - 30 miles electric only. Low end on-board charger means 5 hours, even with a 60-amp 240 V Tesla charger. 2024 uses CCS, not NACS plug, so a $100 adapter is needed (bigger issue is leaving it at the charger). No spare tire! Infotainment screen is small. Overall, extremely impressed. My trim is Ultimate, mainly because that was in stock. I'm sure the lower trim (Plus) is sufficient and a better value.
