    I did 1,700 km over 9 days from KL to Kemaman then going thru coastal roads to Terengganu, Kelantan and crossing the East - West Highway to Penang and back to KL on PLUS highway. Great drive and average consumption is circa 7.8ltr/100km. AWD mode on East - West Highway was the best experience.

      @@BobbyAngmalaysia its going to be a difficult car to,replace in real world driving it is my favourite ever.The D5 powerpulse engine has the polestar software upgrade so it is very sharp and responsive in dynamic mode but also calm and relaxing especially in eco when it drops the drive during coasting .I have put on continental cross climate tyres which I much prefer to the original fitment and am warming to the all round capabilities of the auto headlights and cruise control more with every journey. The build quality seems to have a solid tight feel and the engine getting better with age.....criticisms are limited to maybe a bit of road noise on poor surfaces but that is too be expected coming from an Audi A8 previously.

      Nice! I currently have my Volvo XC90 T8, but i really love the V90 XC, however i also have my trusty old 2009 S4 Avant. So the struggle would be if I traded the XC90 with the V90XC, i would have two five seater wagons, but if I let go the Audi at the same time, i'd be down by one car. Another problem, would be the fact that a 2018 V90XC T6 is the same price as a 2015 Audi RS6 in UK. And the temptation and struggle is real between the two. The Volvo would be low maintenance and low fuel consumption as well as having a nicer cabin, but the Audi ... well who could resist the idea of an RS6 Avant. Haha! Anyway, thank you so much for your words of encouragement!

    Very good review. But white people are like, oh it is not german. European and American reviewers are always bias towards german cars,. They have crab mentality that if its not german, it is no good and they will say “ the quality is not as good as the german cars”. FCK THAT! I have a BMW 330d M sport currently and when I sat I this car, my 3 series felt like it was made 2 decades ago. I test drove a GLC, and although the interior is nice. It is not as nice and sloid as the XC60. Plus the Merc GLC (RHD) suffered from front wheel crabbing and juddering in cold weather. For me, the new Q5 is the closest competition.

    I don't think you spend much time on how comfortable and how adjustable the Volvo seats are!! Itfeels like these seats were contoured to the shape of my body.. I can drive this SUV for 12 hours and still feel good unlike the RX350 that has horrible seats and tin metal. Volvo's door feel like a bank vault. Just when you thought XC 60 has the best seat in the car industry and can't get better than this, you walk up to XC 90 and the seat becomes like a first class Etihad air line seat vs. Others that are United Airline. Volvos are the most underrated luxury cars. Drive one on a long trip, you will not want to drive any other car.
