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

To say this car is a big disappointment is an understatement. I truly wanted to love this car since I've had my eye on it for years. However, I have had an awful experience with the car and also Volvo Care. The car died in my driveway within two weeks of having it. Apparently a software glitch. First HUGE red flag. The car has now been in three times and will need to go in for a fourth. The dealership has been remiss in acknowledging that I have the issues. (I even have video showing the problem - the cross-traffic on the driver's side is inconsistent) The driver's door handle did not work so they "fixed" it. Now it works but only when it's dry. When it's raining, forget it. The handsfree liftgate doesn't work - again on the left side, and the back left corner sensors do not activate the sound warning. Essentially, the left side of this car is a lemon and neither the dealership nor the national care team seem to want to fix it. Volvo Care has not lived up to its name and I am now having to bring in a lawyer to deal with the issues. Read the reviews of users. When they say there are software issues, they mean it! I'm thankful this is only a two year lease. I can't wait to move on from this car.

I’m leasing at 2025 XC90 T8 ultra plug in hybrid. Its beautiful design isn’t enough to prevent you from realizing you have been transported back to 2009 in terms of vehicle features. Aside from a pretty comfortable and smooth ride in the absolutely beautiful leather clad cabin - every single other aspect of this car is lacking. For $82,000 - Volvo should be ashamed. Starting with the cup holders. They fit maybe 1 out of 3 beverage vessels. Otherwise you’re either using your right elbow to hold them steady while you drive or youve got your hydroflask pinned between your thighs because it doesn’ stand a chance of pushing into the opening in the center console. Moving on to the fireball/atomic brightness of the windows 98 infotainment screen in the middle of the dashboard that has no controls for BRIGHTNESS. Night and day - defcon 5 brightness for no reason. Day after day, each element raises the question, “who did they build this for?l Even the most basic functions lie simply activating one of the memorized presets for the luxurious leather front seats (they are lovely) requires the user to hold the preset button until the seat and mirrors reach their preset positions. Hold it down until it stops. UNLESS you do it with the car door open. Only then, will the seat adjust to the driver’s stored position via a single press of the button. There is no apple CarPlay via Bluetooth, so your iPhone must be tethered in order to have contact information included for incoming calls or text messages —unless you want to import all of your contacts into Google. You also need that tether to charge your phone since the car doesn’t support wireless charging. In 2025, your 80K new car perpetually has a cable poking out from the center console where the only usb ports for the front of the car live. The suit hanger hooks in the backseats will accommodates no more than 2 hangers at a time, so make sure to limit those dry cleaning pickups. Did I mention the beautiful leather front seats? They really are, and the ultra level gets you ventilated ones. And you won’t have an opportunity to forget about them once activated. The amount of noise they generate is like a mini wind tunnel, which I guess is fractionally more soothing then the barely muffled exterior noise you usually hear. The gas/battery level indicator is completely unreliable and often jumps 10-20 miles up or down suddenly. Parking assist via the sensors and cameras - barely useful. The alarms blare at nothing, or neglect to activate for real hazards. Also, you cannot adjust the sensitivity of the side mirror blind spot indicators. Then again they are positioned so that you don’t notice them without actively turning your head to look anyway. Also - the users manual is useless. The tire pressure indicator alerts you of low pressure - but no indication of which tire. So you pull over to a gas station and kneel down next to your car to check them one by one. Apparently there’s an auto windshield wiper function. You can’t just select that as your default setting though. You have to press a button each time you turn on the car to activate it. Isn’t that the opposite of Auto? The homelink button works perfectly! Does Volvo get a star for that? It’s another company’s product right? I do appreciate there is a headrest fold down butting for the middle and back row seats to increase visibility. Unfortunately, you’ll need to crawl in the raise them back into position manually if you’re having adults in your car post fold. No button to raise them back up. You can lock or unlock your car from the Volvo app. You’re also able to cool the car remotely prior to getting in on a hot day. Super cool - I would prefer having the little slide out extender on the driver’s visor that came standard on Indian rickshaws from the early 70s to preserve my ability to see when driving in full sun myself. But cool! The Volvo XC90 plug in hybrid is a very pretty car. The leather seats are gorgeous. I have the bone colored leather which isn’t available everywhere. I love looking at it and sitting in it. I don’t like how long I have to look to find information that I want about the car I spent so much money on. It’s almost like they’re hiding something…perhaps it’s the fully loaded 2009 Honda Civic EX’s features packed into a beautiful 2025 “luxury” vehicle’s shell and it worked on me. I was totally fooled You’ll get better bang for your buck elsewhere, take it

2025 Volvo XC90 B5 Ultra 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 8A)

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.

2024 Volvo XC90 Recharge T8 Ultimate 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric plug-in hybrid 8A)

Have not had it long, but we love the XC90. Roomy, comfortable, and surprisingly fast even when driving just on the battery. We bought the 2024 'Ultimate' trim -- including the fine crystal shifter that looks just like cast acrylic -- but without the air suspension and B&W sound system. The air suspension made the ride feel a bit mushy and standard Harmon Kardon sound system is plenty good. The only slightly unpleasant surprise was learning that it's limited to rear wheel drive when in pure electric mode. We'll see how that works on our snowy streets. But, for now, we're happy with our XC90 Recharge.
