They've done enough. The only downside is the protruding tablet, but the software is much better now. The previous design aged well and they simply updated it instead of completely redesigning it. Looks alright to me, very relaxing and classy interior.
Very classy indeed. The big centre screen is no doubt of higher standards than the one on the previous XC90, but whereas it was nicely intergrated before, now it looks as though it has been stuck on as if an afterthought. Not so nice 😅
Here comes the new dog, same as the old dog. That'll do just fine. Like an old pair of boots, some things are perfect just as they are. Some don't get what is a XC90, and for them, there's plenty of options out there...go on ! Volvo owners do not give a toss what other people think. Cheers
Nah, P1 P2 volvo owners cant understand how good handling and powerfull cars become old grandpa 900series... 10+ years volvo trying to create a great alternative for germans, and now its just grandpa suv with 2litre and no acceleration in corners. Ford rear suspension was killed with "yellow stick" and every new buyer wants to delete 180lock. Especially funny when polarstar was tunning company for volvo, not a ev joke. Now, polarstar badge means nothing, its just new software that woung brick car after connecting to volvo vida backend written on java. (yeah yeah, no self monitoring for car blocks via offline vida dice cables)
Agree on other comments with regards to the screen not being as well integrated as before. We have owned a T8 in Canada and it has been a great vehicle overall. For European roads its an even better choice as it gets more respect than envy, which translates in less chances of it being keyed or having its tires slashed. Both of which happened on our Cayenne e-hybrid back there. On thing I will look if they changed enough is the suspension. I wish they moved to a rear wheel drive biased system as the front wheels struggle to keep the power on a wet road and tend to oversteer. Also, even with the air suspension it was a bit jittery on sharper bumps. If that has been sufficiently addressed we will definitely get one for our road trips instead of the Porsche.
I have recently looked at a Mercedes and a Volvo. Have tried both and I bought the Mercedes purely because I thought the dashboard of the Volvo looked clumsy. The Mercedes looks much more pleasant and refined. And the MBUX operating system just feels better to me.
A huge update not only in design but improvements in ride and cabin quietness as well. And since it not all new there is no 2 year break in period to work out the bugs. It also appears to be more refined in fit and finish. It’s finally worthy of $80,000 for a well equipped B6. And Yes, I want one.
Love this refresh! First time watching the channel... For some reason the internet was buffering and when the video began I heard the yelling... I laughed b/c I knew it was going to be a British reviewer!
Classy for sure, however, the drive is boring compared to a BMW. I own a 23 XC 90 and have owned many BMWs in the past. The new Front looks great, however, the sides and back should have been tweaked as well. It’s a cheap redo that doesn’t flow very well.
as an s90 owner I'm hoping they do the same treatment because I love my car I just want a little update. I don't like the new stark interior with giant wrap around screens. love it
Volvos are always beautiful and aesthetically pleasing…. Reliability however is yet to be seen - but I’d still buy one if I had a spare $80k laying around
Can’t believe they replaced a tired old infotainment system with a tired old infotainment system. Looks like they glued an iPad to the dash, that’s so lazy and unimaginative on their part.
I mean I guess it’s a huge vehicle for the UK market but in America the XC90 is midsize compared to a jeep grand wagoner L Escalade LWB, Toyota sequoia and etc…
Can't agree with what the host said about the difference in premium level compared with BMW. It is all about everyone's opinion or personal taste. But for level of safety, no other brands would get close to Volvo.
I had 3 XC 90 Over the last 6 year I have had 3 this one look great . Had a ex99 on Oder but after 2.5 years been told would I would not get it till May I cancelled it.
When the dash literally looks like an iPad holder from the side for the screen. They should have intergraded it better. Looks like an afterthought and no effort was put into it. Rest of the interior looks ho-hum, but dislike how they mounted the screen
So Volvo is forcing us to buy their new EVs but they know the best product was a petrol XC90 so they gave it 3rd lift? Why not drop whole dumb EV idea and just make a brand new petrol XC90?!
hmm yes real men with a 2l 4 pot under the bonnet 🙄 ill take the x5 with a 6 cylinder or a v8 under the bonnet I know which engines make for more interesting conversation and it aint the volvos.
Not really, improved engine, cleaner face, different styled interior, new infotainment system, better storage. Redesigned stereo. I mean cl9se enough to consider it a new gen xc90 kinda, I know I'm reaching but they almost get away with it. Hopefully a dark package is available. Would not mind the s90 comes with the same face Would be cool. Look at the positives a ice engine with electric assist that will most likely be moderately priced, a lot less cheaper then the ex90 , will keep certain people in that company employed, boost profit for Volvo and if we talk bulk will most likely outsell its electric counterpart. Yeah it would be nice for it to have the same juiced uo over the top tech like the ex90 but would have made it insanely over priced. Honestly you shouldn't be that disappointed. It really is gonna be a Good Volvo.
@@kabelotshita4510 Tbh I’m not that affected but after all this time there really should be a whole new model. It is a minor update any way you slice it. That infotainment screen looks like they just bolted an after market unit in. It looks good but only because it looks almost identical to the last one.
I wonder if in Sweden an XC90 is still expensive like other markets, I mean out of reach for most people.... I remember going to a business trip in Budapest couple years ago, and a work colleague from Sweden was turning 50 years old, I heard him saying how he was getting an XC60 custom ordered just because he was turning 50, it sounded like a big purchase...
Mid life update? This design will be 10 years old when this facelift comes out next year. So that means this model will stay for 20 years (till 2035)... 20 years!! I don't get how Volvo expects to keep the same car on sale for 20 years. Most manufacturers do facelifts every 3-4 years... Volvo does them every 10 lol. Bmw comes out with a whole new X5 every 6-7 years lol. Kinda crazy to think how much more money BMW would spend on research and development over Volvo.
Nah, Palisade got physical climate buttons and also clean design. But 3.5+hybrid instead of 2 litr+hybrid. When crossing austria to italy on mountain roads all new volvos struggle to go 130+ and old volvos P2 can do it easily with bigger engine and less mass. Esp questioned solution is rear stick which cause handling worse then S80 V70
Not sure the BEV EX90 is ‘useless’. It continues the exploration and development of EV’s. I don’t understand how this is outdated. It looks handsome and classy. One way to make sure a product continues to be high end is to reinforce the design and only make small changes. Hence - why the Range Rover is recognisable over the generations. It reinforces something about the brand.
No I believe Volvo has not done enough to future proof EX90 as there is not any pure electric version! I am so keen and surely waiting in agony to see that car!!!
What’s the point preconditioning and cleaning the air in the car before you get in and then opening the door to get in and let the outside air back in again!!!
It's mostly to expell the hot air from vehicle when parked in the summer heat..it runs on the auxiliary battery for bout 10 min..set it for say 10 min prior to you leaving work, and it's cooled off considerably by time u reach the vehicle from your office. Work really good imho..
Any car review where the reviewer talks about the engine and the suspension dead last is a car to be avoided. The most exciting thing then becomes everything except the fundamentals of the car.
Less fussy except that it now too has 3 lines around each wheel arch. A horrid trend that designers adopted in a futile attempt to prevent the (not so small!) wheels from looking too small for the increasingly obese body lines of today's cars.
B5 are 350 Nm iar B6 are 400 Nm . D5 (diesel ) care acum nu se mai produce are 500Nm cu polestar upgrade . Și are performante acceptabile . Categoric un motor de 3l ar fi făcut mașina mai sportivă dar nu despre asta este Volvo
Thank you for petrol cars finally! I really dont like electric cars. It feels like a toy. As long as petrol cars are still around i would never buy electric one.
So they are forcing the switch to faux leather seats on the XC90 as well? First they chose wool (allergic), but leather is safe. Now something new that isn’t proven. Pity.
that center screen is LAZY AF! Love my XC40 Volvo 2020! still have it! and had it brand new! this is a huge let down! I love the way the NISSAN ARMADA/PATROL looks
Agreed. They’ve put battery and motor instead but it made the vehicle so heavy and the power is just not enough. They should bring back the diesel which is in fact more environmental friendly compared to rubbish PHEV
Is the XC90 the ultimate SUV?
4기통인데 장난하나? x5는 6기통이라고
Yessas
No
Yes. ❤
Facelift model...?
Volvos age so well they always look great no matter the era
They've done enough. The only downside is the protruding tablet, but the software is much better now. The previous design aged well and they simply updated it instead of completely redesigning it. Looks alright to me, very relaxing and classy interior.
True, but I feel they should have given the rear the ex90 update as well.
I love the tablet, it's so big and spacious
Perfect facelift. Still the best looking SUV on the outside as well as on the inside. I would take this over the EX90 any day.
After the sea of ugly German designs. This looks fresh
Fresh? Its been the same design since 2015
That grille is the best-looking one I’ve seen in a while.
I like this presenter. Casual but still pretty engaging and informative.
Very classy indeed. The big centre screen is no doubt of higher standards than the one on the previous XC90, but whereas it was nicely intergrated before, now it looks as though it has been stuck on as if an afterthought. Not so nice 😅
Sexiest SUV ever.

Beautiful car. Definitely prettier than most other large SUV's and hugely practical to boot! Well done Volvo.
Looks great, except iPad. Could have done better there Volvo. Nevertheless, the XC90 still looks much classier than there German competitors
The most beautiful premium suv on sale today
Like it much more than EX90 , XC90 still looks the best love the work that Volvo done ❤❤❤❤.
Another great video keep it up 🤟🤟
Love this refresh! First time watching the channel... For some reason the internet was buffering and when the video began I heard the yelling... I laughed b/c I knew it was going to be a British reviewer!

I’m ready to order one now !!!

The xc90 is the new affordable G wagon. Keep this style forever!
why do you have the mid hump? its front wheel drive anyways with the engine?
If it aint broke then dont fix it. This is the best ❤
Volvos are always beautiful and aesthetically pleasing…. Reliability however is yet to be seen - but I’d still buy one if I had a spare $80k laying around
I don’t know if it is better, it is certainly more beautiful
its a lovely looking thing - very good facelift IMO.

Great review, and looking well James 😊
The facelift 👍.. looks a little bit better than the old one.. I want change my old X5 to this one! Btw nice review dude!
Volvos are amazing!! I want a V60 for my next car
I mean I guess it’s a huge vehicle for the UK market but in America the XC90 is midsize compared to a jeep grand wagoner L Escalade LWB, Toyota sequoia and etc…

The front is beautiful.
Seriously? The interior looks much better then EX 90
You should try to see if the rear seats recline.
I would love a 3-seater version of this with more space for the rear passengers. I know they do a 4-seater super luxury, so it must be possible.
So Volvo is forcing us to buy their new EVs but they know the best product was a petrol XC90 so they gave it 3rd lift? Why not drop whole dumb EV idea and just make a brand new petrol XC90?!
Still wish they bring back the dual exhaust chrome tips look so plain from lower rear so if you looking Volvo bring that daul exhaust back
Where is the Diesel variant? Outrageous they stop that easily the best with Diesel torque for such a vehicle.
Volvo retired their diesel engines. I think they produced the last one several months ago and sent it to a museum in Sweden.
@@karacha Pretty stupid idea
It looks just perfect. I would say x5 is like teenage and xc90 is like real men
hmm yes real men with a 2l 4 pot under the bonnet 🙄 ill take the x5 with a 6 cylinder or a v8 under the bonnet I know which engines make for more interesting conversation and it aint the volvos.
I Love It!!
Are they reliable? I don’t know much about Volvos other than are safe.
looks so much better than gle/x5/q7
Just the price is way over the top
Totally would get it
I liked it and wanted it
They took previous volvo, replaced front grill and screen. Great! I see not many reasons to sell my xc90 2015 ))
the reason is to give your money to volvo because they are...very woke which is trendy isnt it?
Better ride of this one for shure,all front is diferent not only the grile,and interior looks more fresh than old one
The central tunnel is where the ev battery goes!
lovely looking but would compare with X7 not X5
what is “a side turning”?
It’s pretty much the same. Disappointed.
Well they didn't think they'd be supporting ICE this long.
