    I just purchased a new Volvo T6 Inscription with a Polestar tune for my wife. Wow! What a nice utilitarian and clean looking SUV. It is hard to find SUV's that are still "boxy" or square. Most look like an egg shaped spacecraft from 'Flight of the Navigator'. The squared shape creates more room in the back, allowing my two German Shepherds to have pleanty of room! What really sold us was the third row vents!!! Andy the Lab is exactly right! It is hard to find mid-sized SUV's with third row vents.
    I drive an old 09 F150 with a lift and 35's, so the Volvo feels like a rocket ship to me. The Polestar tune really helped with the midrange performance! I recently visited my brother in Spokane, WA or Spocompton as I call it, and it was a blast carving through the mountains. Granted, I put custom 21" wheels and 295 tires on, so that really helped. Anyway, great video you guys!

    Yurt and Jakob have you seen Volvo just released a new trim level for the T8 XC90 called “Inscription Expression”? (MSRP about $68k) We just purchased ours and we absolutely LOVE it! It ends up being cheaper to own than our previous gas XC90, depending on price of gas in your area. I’d love to see you guys do a review on that trim. Volvo released it in order to entice more people to switch to electrified Volvos.

    Nice review. I had a xc-90 t8 Inscription. Yes it was great., We went to a all electric Audio E-tron for tow years. Now I’m thinking of going back to the Volvo Hybrid

    Its a super comfortable long distance cruiser -- hybrid electric battery don’t last that long but its a start on EV pathway - the electric power makes it super smooth pick up - loads of space for family travel - seats are terrific - adaptive cruise control and lane control makes life so much easier on 4/5 hour drives - if you going on long family roads trip great car - visibility is good out the back seats for passengers - everything is practical / functional - infotainment system and the whole car is less bling than Merc/BMW but its a car and works fine for your camera / climate - wouldn’t use it for short trips around town but if your buying a volvo your probably want to do your short trips on a bicycle ! Superb family SUV.

    Ain't gonna lie, the Volvo XC90 on the road is so refreshing to look at, traffic constantly jockeys to keep it in view. Of course I'm much too responsible of a driver to engage in that kind of behavior myself.

    50 mpg in the big suv is pretty amazing. I wonder how that would be affected by country roads with constant 55 to 60 mph roads. Does the ev part end at a certain speed.

      @@msusocal Corporate has been pretty tight lipped about the XC100. We are expecting it to be a Full Electric Cadillac Escalade sized competitior, whereas the Successor of the XC90 will either be an EV/Hybrid XC90 or get a formal name change separate from Volvo’s usual naming scheme. We’re in a weird purgatory currently where marketing and corporate are still trying to figure out the naming schemes of the next Gen cars and the markets they want to target. But there will be two separate XC100 and XC90 models targeting various sizes. One obviously being bigger than the other, they may just not have those specific names when they launch.
