    I love the volvo interiors. Just so simple and not complicated. I've always wanted a grey interior. So far it has alluded me!
  • @MagicPickleball
    Still good looking inside and out after almost a decade ... would never buy something this mechanically complicated, even tough I'm a Volvo wagon fan and own two Volvos (2017 and 2015.5 both with 2.0T DriveE) without any problem.
  • Still prefer safety on the roads over anything to be honest, bought my dream XC90 half a year ago and still enjoy it after 8+ years or research:)
  • A very nice product! Again the seats are the issue for some as side bolsters are narrow. Like the interior as it's not black! A great review.

    As the owner of a 2022 XC90 Recharge Extended Range, my power train is the same as your 2024 and my 16,000 miles has been trouble free and yielded an overall fuel economy of 47 mpg. Considering the performance I get when needed and the "range" anxiety I avoid, this is the ideal car for me. As to your comment about the firm ride, I have the air suspension and perhaps that is what you recall in your earlier review.
  • @fameashu
    I love your videos. You guys are doing a great job. I was wondering which cars you guys own or drive?
  • @rromancunard
    Thanks for share 🙏🏼🎉 This is the best car in the world in safety and comfort at the same time.
  • @10OF9OFBORG
    To my understanding, they are to be class vehicle. I love the design in both exterior and interior. However I am not crazy about Google system. Great video Andrea!!
  • @AEnes-ho4kf
    I have same this one in White XC90-T8 2024- Its a very good car
  • @remiguertin6474
    With regard to the stiff ride, did you ever check the tire pressure? Both of my Acura RDX were delivered with too much pressure... Great work as usual!
  • @mr.b.9406
    Great show/channel guys with valuable content! Kudos. Can you speak to Volvo's warranty? I heard and read that for some parts there's a lifetime warranty? And how does that compare to a manufacturer offering a 100k mile warranty overall?
  • @timphillips4147
    Quick and smooth car this one tonight, but also very big too !
  • @GoldenK9Campers
    Great review. Love this car. I'm going to be reviewing the XC60T8.. Can't wait for that.
  • @kentgabriel3572
    The last I heard from the North American Volvo Team is that the XC90 is not going away....it might be getting a refresh but they intend to have it live side by side with the EX90 so that they have a full electrified three row offering to customers.....B5,B6 (hybrid) PHEV , and the full EV....
  • @GoldenK9Campers
    So interesting on the lexus TX with the v6. I reviewed the chrysler pacifica also with a v6 on the atkinson cycle. The 4 cylinder turbo's aren't getting quite the fuel efficiency as advertised.. so this might be a new thing !!
  • Nice review thanks. I will receive the xc90 plus in late summer 2024 and I really look forward for it. What I do not understand is the issue with the missing armrests in the 2nd row. In my test car there was a 3rd seat in the middle, which you can just pull down and there is the armrest, including cup holders. It can also be used as a child’s seat with a raised base. Strange in your car. Might it be possible that in your country the car comes only as a 6 seat version for legal reasons…? I live in Germany and the xc90 comes as a 7 seater. Take care and keep going! 😊👍
