any updates? still have the car? any trouble? how many miles do you have? I'm thinking about trading in 2 of my vehicles for one of these 2016 used ones
We don’t have the car anymore as it was a 3 year lease. I still think that was an amazing car. We had the turbo and supercharged engine which I still can’t wrap my mind on how that 4 cylinder engine moved that big SUV. It felt like a tank. Unfortunately I can’t comment on long term or high mileage. We had it for about 40k miles with zero issues. The only thing I could think was a problem was the front drivers side axle boot that leaked grease causing noise but that was corrected by the dealer. That was it
Wow great review. I've watched a lot of reviews on this car and thought I knew almost everything about it but your review gave me new info that I wasn't even aware of. It was detailed, easy to comprehend, and just put together really well.
Good review. I learned some new details about the car I didn't get from other reviews. For some reason no one seems to open the panoramic roof for one in the reviews and you also showed the car parking itself including needing to have your foot on the brake.
Well done video. I too have watched more than my share of videos on this new car, and yet Nicole managed to teach me a few things about this car that neither I, nor apparently the salesperson I spoke with, knew. Kudos. -MKM
Typically I'm a bit of a feminist when it comes to my car reviews. But I'll be damned this was a very thorough and informative review. You really set the bar high Nicole. Not one time in the review did I feel "urggghhh stop talking about generic stuff". I expected to do this in an almost 15 min review. You have me even more excited about the XC90 than I was before. Job well done. Give this woman a well deserved raise!!
I'm just surprised the Volvo didn't blow it's tires holding her. She sunk into the snow deeper than the Volvo. That Volvo must be pretty damn strong to not end up with frame damage hauling her around.
The question is how long these engines will last compare to unbreakable D5!!! Still would trust the older XC90 but time will show us so might be a great car!
I like this Vehicle, inside looks comfortable. The outside is shaped well, I've got to check to see if it's available in just a two row model and I would gladly dump the expensive sound system for a full size spare tire instead of a can of fix a flat. Call me locked in the past, when operating motor vehicles I prefer to hear engine sounds and outside cabin noises. Today's music has two many sound effects (I'am a Professional Driver, I do two to three thousand miles a week) because of my training I'am constantly listening, feeling and smelling for problems when operating a vehicle which means I may get home on time if I identify problems before they occur. I noticed the license plate South Carolina Manufacturer is this a plus for the US Labor Force?
This is how a review is done. Am disappointed in a lot of these other car reviews .They leave out the goodies of the xc 90. It's almost like they have been bribed by these German Manufacturers. Volvo has Navigation on Heads up display. First time I here this. Volvo is the best car on the market, without a doubt. #Sweden
Jaffar Abdul Baqi Because this is a better package with more tech as standard, better exterior and interior. The Q7 is better in driving but other than that the Volvo excels in other segments
This vehicle is an off-road "pretender". Take a look at the videos of its off-road performance. If you want to go off-road with an SUV you should really get a Jeep or Land Rover. By the way, the proper term is "HEADS-Up-Display", not "HEAD-Up-Display".
poor review. if you don't know what Bowers and Wilkins is, then please learn before you jump into an half assed review. it is an insult to the audio lovers. BTW it 3200 package.... so people checking that option should know what they are getting.
We just purchased one earlier this week. What an amazing car! Can't get enough of driving it...
avasbaba What engine did you get?
You've had it for two years now correct? If so, do you still love it? Any concerns you have to share?

Great Review Nicole! Volvo did a great job, styling and overall utility of this vehicle is outstanding.
You've just become my favorite reviewer.

+badass125 Thanks so much! Glad you liked the review...wait until you give the car a drive. It really is fantastic!
The 360 camera review part was awesome. Good to see how it works when someone is actually walking around he car.
I'm just surprised the Volvo didn't blow it's tires holding her. She sunk into the snow deeper than the Volvo. That Volvo must be pretty damn strong to not end up with frame damage hauling her around.
Wow, you're ruthless.
Amazing review, thanks Nicole!!

What are the "goodies" you speak of?
Why is the Audi Q7 not better than this?
Jaffar Abdul Baqi Because this is a better package with more tech as standard, better exterior and interior. The Q7 is better in driving but other than that the Volvo excels in other segments
Jaffar Abdul Baqi the XC90 is better because it gives you all that the Q7 offer, at 10k less.

Wrong, it's head up display .. Look it up

Dealzguy It's 3200 now - this review is a few years old
Looks hideous
Eat less and go the gym more often!
Nope PAWGs are ok.
