We are new owners of a gorgeous XC90 Plug-in hybrid, and feel compelled to write a a review to share our exceptional Experience thus far—and granted, it’s early in our experience. We did extensive research and considered all the other prestige nameplates; Mercedes, BMW, Lexus, Lincoln. We wanted a plug-in hybrid since we have had EXTREMELY good experiences with our 2021 Rav4 Prime. The freedom of driving around town without relying upon gasoline is itself a joy and liberation that deserves many paragraphs to describe all its virtues. Every premium nameplate offers a plug-in hybrid SUV now, so this freedom is catching-on … and if you are still paying for gasoline to run errands around town, you may want to re-think your automobile strategy; the only thing I think when I see a neighborhood gas station now is; “…should I stop and buy a lottery ticket…?” Because gas stations are otherwise meaningless to me and just a reminder of how dumb I was before I made the switch to plug-in hybrids. One note to Volvo on this topic: the new 2025 XC90 charges at a rate about half as fast as my 2021 RAV4 Prime (3.7 vs 7.1 kWh). This is my biggest disappointment….and arguably the only one. It basically means that while plugged-in, the battery ‘re-fills’ at a rate of about 5 miles of additional range per hour … as opposed to about 11 for the Toyota. Big deal…it is what it is. I drive less than 30 miles a day so I rarely trigger the gasoline engine…only when I go out of town. So, the rest…. Wow! Solid! Stunning! Quiet! Powerful! Graceful! Advanced! My goodness, this vehicle is a real treat to drive. It has an extensive range of driving modes to accommodate any road condition you may encounter; rain, snow, gravel, pavement, ice, whatever nature OR your neglectful state/local government may serve up! The engineering and technology is seamless and absolutely top-notch. The vehicle remains stable and flawless. Drivers’ aides abound from lane-maintenance, blind-spot alerts, warnings to let you know about some dumb-skull that has stopped on the road and is too stupid to pull off to the shoulder, idiots opening driver’s side doors into on-coming traffic just as you are approaching them, and the list goes on and on. By and by, you get this general feeling after encountering all the strange little ways that Volvo has engineered to protect you (not to mention how to protect all the other idiots on the road) is, well, WARMTH. You just feel safe and you have a warm spot in your gut because you just feel cared for. I was skeptical about a 4 cylinder engine on such a big car. Volvo has done an amazing job with this engine and it is more than ample: 450+ horsepower! Compared to the RAV4 Prime which has 300+ horsepower, I can honestly say that Volvo left nothing on the table. This engine is smoother and quieter and quite ‘hot!’ Teslas are known for their speed and all that torque from the electric motors…. Well, this Volvo has both horse power AND torque from the dual engine set-up and it rivals a Tesla’s performance. I have no need to ever go anywhere in under 5 seconds and I am not impressed with 0-60 acceleration times, but I guess some people are still impressed by those metrics. Bottom line is that: off the line, when the light turns green, my XC90 is always the first car through the intesection:)) And it’s a big car inside. I have the 6-seater model and ingress/egress to the very comfortable third row is simple. Compared to the (2 row) Rav4Prime, it handles identically. Like a small SUV…yet it seats 4 large adults AND a couple kids comfortably. We are loving the car. It’s a gorgeous ‘vapour’ grey with ‘blonde’ leather interior and real wood paneling. Super nice. Pano roof, and the shifter handle is a big ol’ crystal. We are smitten. Definitely check it out. We got $15,400 OFF the MSRP! Great deal!

I love this ride. I got the 2025.5 XC 90 ultra. I added the Bowers and Wilkins sound system and 22 inch wheels. The suspension is pneumatic too. The thing is a dream to drive. My first Volvos was a 2018 version 90 cross country and it was completely trouble free. This car is brand new and I expected to be equally trouble free. It’s smooth and quiet and responsive and the sound system is intoxicating. Denim blue with blonde interior.
