    The XC90 doesn't stand out in a crowd, yet they're almost always present in good company. With stylish Scandinavian design and forward-thinking technology, the Volvo brand can now be known for more than just great safety ratings. For 2023, Volvo has swapped out the T5 and T6 powertrains from the XC90 and added in their place the B5 and B6 powertrains. Watch our Test Drive Review video to see whether those new mild-hybrid engines make a word of difference.

    Excellent review and video. Thank you. I bought a Volvo Xc90 Denim Blue Ultimate in December and it is indeed the greatest car I have ever owned. You nailed everything. It’s not perfect but it sure is close. The seats are amazing and it drives like a dream. I believe it’s actually drives like a sports car - take a curve entrance ramp at 50+ miles an hour and never touch the brakes. Decent gas mileage. I have so few complaints - simply a dream car. Hoping reliability is good - did buy the Platinum warranty 10 years 100K just in case. Is it possible to be in love with a car? I am.

    Great review! I have an XC90 B6 Plus 7 seater leased in January 2023, after 2 XC60 T6 "inscription" leased for 3 years each. Well, the XC90 is outstanding: comfortable, beautiful, huge trunk, and the engine is more responsive than the XC60 T6 despite the weight and the size (thank you little electric engine!) but the software is bad. The new Google one is so limited! I love the integrated maps and the idea of being able to do everything with the voice, but some options are either not working (automatic roof closing) or not even present (valet parking option). The best feature of the previous system disappeared: the log of the trips. I used it a lot with the past 2 cars and I loved being able to check the log of the trips on the Volvo App (duration, destination, average fuel consumption, distance) but, as per what Volvo's support told me, the Google system doesn't support it and it might be developed "one day". As much as I am in love with the car, the software feels like a big "beta" system.

  • @Crazyuncle1
    @Crazyuncle1 Před rokem +8

    Most of the car’s functions can be controlled with voice commands. For example, you can simplify say, “turn the heat up to 73”. Most reviewers fail to cover voice command features and Volvo is ahead of the rest.

    Three things that put me off this otherwise spectacular vehicle.
    1. Cannot disengage start/stop at the touch of a button, or permanently.
    2. No physical controls for hvac (don't care about voice command gimmick)
    3. No CD player (just been out shopping, bought a cd and cannot play it on the way home) or auxiliary inputs for music storage.

    • @robertknight4672
      @robertknight4672 Před rokem

      I don't mind some controls. The only thing I ever really touch on my screen all the cars moving is the GPS but that's only to say yes or no if I want to go to a different route because of traffic. And that's within my peripheral vision and I don't have to take my eyes off the road. I want with the Subaru Forester because it's still has physical buttons dials for the functions I use most.

    The lack of an oil dipstick is a huge no no, why oh why? Sure, the onboard computer will show your oil level, but anyone who knows about motors knows that the color, smell and ability to feel for grit is a huge plus in avoiding premature oil breakdown, I sure hope an aftermarket fix comes about, especially with these small high reving turbo motors. My first Volvo, love the car but very concerned about the 2 liter motor, awful small for this size vehicle.

(Anyone have a solution or workaround?) My 2015 XC70 has that connectivity plus a great built-in CD player. We have hundreds of CDs. I want to be able to grab a couple CDs for a trip without having to rip them to an iPhone.

My 2nd vehicle doesn't and when I use it I always Have a DOH! Moment when I realise I didn't rip the new albums or tracks.

    I'm thinking about purchasing a 2023 XC90 from a local dealer. Everything seems good, the price tag is sitting at a great spot and it's well within my budget, I'm just fearful to make the big move of buying it and officially making it my permanent commuter. Has anyone in these comments experienced reliability issues? Even though the car is in my budget, it would be pretty devastating to immediately need repairs a few months down the road.
