    I test drove this exact model but found it to be too large for just me. Instead I bought a fully loaded XC60 T8 Inscription in denim blue with blonde interior and couldn’t be happier. 👍🏻. Was it expensive. Yes. But I’ve never seen the Brinks truck following a hearse so .... 😉

    My 2017 T8 inscription has been quite good tbh. I've covered almost 60k in little under 3 years. I'd most probably purchase the new shape when it's released. This base shape has been around for around 5 years now. Still a great 4x4 and complies with ultra low emissions through London.

    I don’t understand why they could not give the middle row seats arm rest. That to me defeats the purpose of calling them captain chairs.

      @rwhunt99 4 роки тому

      My only thought on that, is it would interfere with the ability to get to the back row of seats. That could be remedied with some engineering. I have the seven passenger version and trying to get into the back row by sliding the seat forward is very tight.

      I've owned many Volvos from the late 80s to the 2013 XC90. I still view it as a Subaru type car. Still don't view it on the same level as a BMW, even with the new models. We had a mid level new XC90 as a loaner, it was nice, but not amazing.

    Disappointed to see you bash the most premium level XC90 for its price. Why not mention that the T8 qualifies for a $5419 federal tax credit? Brings MSRP to about $82k. Hardly cheap, but still lower. Compare it to a similarly equipped GLE450 and you’ll find it’s a bargin. Unsurprisingly, Luxury vehicles command premium prices. If you can afford one, great. If not, that’s ok too. If you simply choose to not spend your money on a pricey premium vehicle, that’s also fine. Just don’t bash based on price. This video, especially it’s title, looks like you are simply creating click bait. This video is beneath your usual standards.

The GLE only became more expensive when I put the off-road engineering pack along with the E-active body control, but that gives the car so much more insane cool features and comfort. Nope. The Volvo is no cheaper than the GLE.

The only option I didn’t get was the high end stereo. And my car was $64,000.00 before taxes, total out the door was $70,461.00 because it is cheaper to pick it up at the factory.

    I'm looking at a 2020 xc90 right now. Gas, no electric. How has the turbo/supercharger setup faired over the years? Offhand it sounds like too many extra parts for the very small mpg gain over a V6. Makes me nervous. Do they all have 3rd row? I like the captain's chairs but when we take the dog on long trips I'd like a bench seat in 2nd row. Is there anything you can get to bridge the gap? The price really drops off on these luxury vehicles after a couple years. I guess some of the folks buying new swap out every few years.

    Last winter had to replace a vehicle. Drove both the xc 90 and xc 60 series. Given the price points, I couldn’t even begin to realistically consider all these high priced SUVs. But hey, we could have bought a fully loaded Vee dub Tiguan for $44k and ‘saved’ money. Instead, bought a vee dub Treg TDI and kept the extra $64k in my bank. Crazy prices. Regardless of price, I like how the Treg drives vs the xc 90. Sigh.

You don't need half the stuff that you mentioned, the electric option doesn't really help all that much, if you check the mileage is still nearly the same as one without, but it does give you a tremendous amount of HP when combined with your gasoline engine. (I believe 400 hp. The T-6 options with a handful of the premium options will still set you up for a great ride.

    Volvo is building a new battery assembly plant alongside its existing
    factory in South Carolina to support a line of EVs in the U.S., ncluding
    a forthcoming all-electric version of the next-generation XC90
    crossover, Automotive News reports.
    The battery plant is part of an additional $600 million investment Volvo
    announced in 2017 for its 2.3 million square-foot plant near
    Charleston, where it currently builds the S60 for global markets and is
    adding a second line and training facilities. The existing plant will
    similarly become the global production center for the third-generation
    XC90. Construction on the new plant, which will test and build battery
    packs, carriers and harnesses, is expected to start this fall and wrap
    up in time for the launch of production of the new XC90 starting in
    2022, according to the Post and Courier of Charleston.
    The XC90, Volvo’s top-selling model in the U.S. and No. 3 seller
    globally, will move to a new version of the Scalable Product
    Architecture platform, or SPA2, for its third generation. The second
    generation has been around since the 2015 model year and rides on the
    first version of the SPA platform.
    The timeline would make the XC90 Recharge, as its battery-electric cars
    will be known, Volvo’s third EV, according to its plans to release a
    fully electric vehicle each year over the next five years. In October,
    Volvo revealed the XC40 Recharge, its first electric vehicle, due later
    in 2020. It has two electric motors powered by a 78-kWh battery pack
    that delivers 248 miles in range on a full charge, based on the more
    generous European WLTP testing. It’s built on the same modular CMA
    platform as the gasoline version of the crossover.
    That leaves an as-yet unidentified EV for 2021, and there are reportedly
    no plans to make an electric version of the S60; a Volvo spokesman said
    he could not comment on other specific models. The new battery plant
    will help Volvo source its batteries more cheaply than transporting from
    elsewhere to South Carolina, reports say.
    Currently, Volvo offers plug-in hybrid versions of the S90 sedan, XC90
    and XC60, plus a B-badged mild hybrid variant of its XC90.
    The company has said that every new model introduced after 2019 will be
    either a hybrid, plug-in hybrid or full-electric vehicle, with a new EV
    launched every year. Each version offered with a plug will come with the “Recharge” model branding.
    @t
    What'ja want to bet the SPA2 on the III Gen XC90 will have at least a 130 kWh battery with a range of 320+ miles.

    We own one and have been very disappointed. Do not buy this car. Some of the parts wear out quickly (particularly brakes that go bad in just 15k miles). The worst part is, Volvo does not stand behind their product, even with an “extended warranty.” Anything that goes wrong on this car is like a trip to the emergency room in terms of cost. Windshield replacement? $2k. Lose your key fob? $500 to replace it. It would seem that having things go wrong on this vehicle is actually a lucrative profit center for Volvo.

      Unless your Kia Telluride has a Level 3 autonomous hands free driving system, it won't drive itself. Volvo has a Level 2 Pilot Assist which allows hands free driving for up to 10-15 seconds before it alerts the driver that hands on steering is required. Does your Kia Telluride have an automatic hands free self parking feature like the XC90?

      LOL all these Korean haters. The Kia does not have self-driving but the alert system has a lot of range. It will hold value much better than anything on the road that's not a Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, or Kia. Every car reviewer is raving about how good it is but these random youtube commenters think it's trash. LOL They probably drive a Fiat, Skada or a Chongfeing.

I also own a 2017 Volvo XC90 T6 R-Design that's fully loaded (with Pilot Assist 2, the auto hands free self parking feature, 4 corner air suspension, Bowers & Wilkins premium audio, real carbon fiber interior, heated windshield) and I've had no issues with it since I got it in 2017.

    My BIG peeve with the V90 is the side mirrors. They should be about 15mm lower on the door, farther to the front and thinner off the top. They block half the side view. I wouldn't mind the windshield and tailgate having a bit and a lot less slope. And there doesn't seem to be an off for the temperature control or an adjustment for feet first heating.
    I soon got tired of fighting the lane position it wants. It's great that it doesn't nag me about not using the seat belt. It does nag you if you go over the line too many times. LOL. It is very hard to crash with the radar, in the summer anyway. Even in the snow it goes straight as an arrow when I stomp on the gas with the summer tires. Not much snow this winter yet, so I'll risk the first year taking it very easy on turning and stopping.
