Three row luxury crossovers are big business in the USA and big luxury "anythings" are all the range in China. Because of this reality and the fact that the original XC90 is turning 14 next year, the new XC90 is the first of Volvo's radical new product portfolio. In this test drive we talk about the XC90, the BMW X5, Acura MDX, the up-coming Audi A7 and the Infiniti QX60 and how they all stack up against Volvo's latest off-road crossover. While we don't go offroad, we do look at every aspect of the XC 90 from the new Sensus Infotainment system to the luxurious interior.
This guy knows his stuff. I am amazed how knowledgeable he is.
Volvo really threw down the hammer this time and showed BMW, Audi, Mercedes, and even Land Rover that they aren't screwing around anymore. I would imagine this new XC90 has them all scurrying back to redesign things.
You're first person to test this in the states of the people that I subscribe to. Plus I love your in depth reviews the most so this is a win win for me.
Great review. I bought the T6 Inscription, with B&W Audio, Air Suspension, Heads-Up Display, 21" Alloys, Apple Car Play, Convenience & Vision Packages - and I couldn't be happier. Everyone who travels in the car is totally blown away by the quality, features, refinement, comfort and technology - especially things like the bird's-eye view 360 degree color camera and TFT interfaces. Attractive, practical and economical; with a sturdy build and protective quality about it, that makes me believe it's a keeper for many years to come.
Volvo have really upped their game.
They upgraded for 5 years im from sweden and My mom works there i know i sounds like a kid
Beautiful vehicle
I’m hopefully getting my own tomorrow so thank you!
Did you ever get it?! If so, do you love it?!
Angel Hernandez Yes, I did! It’s amazing, there are so many amazing little features in the car! I upgraded from an Opel Zafira (aka:the realest soccer mom car out there) so it’s nice having heated seats for a change! Also love hooking it up to Spotify and having a karaoke session in the car!
Are those B&W's kevlar drivers? Man, I hope this SUV is a hit. It looks so good. And 20mpg city out of a land tank with over 300hp is amazing.
Omnis I believe so but Volvo did not specify.
Omnis Yes, they are 100mm speakers with kevlar. You can read about the sound system in XC90 on B&W's website
The new XC90 looks so nice in my opinion, the design of the interior is just amazing. By far the best looking SUV on sale!
Comprehensive and detailed as always. Great job, Alex.
I've been driving one of 5 limited editions here in NY which all 5 are T8's pushing 400HP & fully loaded with all the features. This car is amazing. Volvo really nailed it with this one. Driving around the city I've noticed many people stop to look at the car & take pictures.
Alex your reviews are great as always
Wow. Very clean and modern. Would get this over a Mercedes or a Lexus.
All I can say to this one is, there are all kinds of people in this world... Plus, don't put Lexus and MB together.
i am very surprise that this kind car don't have a ower steering wheel
especially for 50000$ car
Jordan L, you're right, that's insulting to Lexus.
- JPL - sure that's what I meant...
Best SUV on the market
wow. just wow. the gauntlet has been thrown. the x5 seems like a kia.
The tables have turned. 😂
Finally, a car maker that is not afraid to put the navigation on the dashboard, I really want all of them will fallow.
This is such an informative review. Living in South Africa, this car is only being launched in August! I am scheduled for a test drive next week. Currently driving a Toyota Prado that I hardly used off road, I am almost sure, this is not a bad choice.
Thanks a million for this review!
Finally a dude with a normal voice and he doesn't do the hand jive while he's talking.
Rock on shades!
I saw this vehicle in person today and it is ALL THAT... Seeing this on the video is one thing but it is a true must see in person. Volvo has truly stepped up their game with this model. Finally the XC90 has all the specs that does it justice. Although it is worth the money, I can't see making payments this large on a vehicle. It's either pay cash for it or look at it on the showroom floor.
Your reviews are such high quality, I now recommend them as an exclusive source of auto reviews to all my friends and family!
volvo seat are the best in the world, it has the most relaxing, good looking and comfy seat on the planet.
Great review as always, Alex!
Volvo has really gone pretty premium. I applaud them, and as a pertrolhead not interested in SUVs, and an electric car lover as well, I don't say that often. I am now a Volvo fan.
However, speaking of that, I hope you do a review on the Tesla Model X SUV.
Ted, it will be a while. The next Volvo to get redone will be the S80 which will be re-styled the S90 as it gets the redesign. We should see that in about a year with volume shipping in 18 months or so.
Other reviewers have said the xc90 is one of the quietest vehicles on the Road I hope you have a wonderful and awesome blessed weekend ahead
Alex on Autos does that mean a new XC70 as it shares the S80 chassis? and do you know if we are getting the V70 wagon back? that was my favorite volvo. Really great informative vid I liked it.
***** all new feature Volvos will ride on spa platform Google it s80 will be discontinued the new s90 will be revealed this year
***** I think the V60 replaced the V70... I doubt they will roll out the V70 again. The XC70 though, I think will be redone again, and offer an air-ride to satisfy the V70 crowd.
Kyle Stewart the V60 is too small, they just sold more XC70's than V70 so they stopped them in the US, they still offer the V70 in most overseas markets the V70R back! I love that car, but I guess they are doing another big wagon soon.
what a surprise to see this gorgeous volvo review in here so soon - great job, alex!
Alex, please cover the tech features as part of your review. Tech features such as adaptive cruise control, traffic jam assist, HUD etc are becoming important factors in purchase of a vehicle. Please demonstrate the use of these features as well as compare these to other systems. That is valuable.
Best and most detailed review of this car. Love the way you explain everything. Thanks!
Such a gorgeous SUV. I hate how ugly the Q7 and have gotten with their facelifts, especially since the previous generations were both very pretty. This SUV looks to be a hit, almost having no real weaknesses. And also, 1,400 watts!!!!!!!! DAYUM, Volvo.
I live in the Netherlands, and my parents have just received their Volvo XC90 t8
It's great and very fast!
Thanks for the review of the Volvo XC90. The seats of the Volvo's are unmatched and call my attention, maybe I'm getting old. Soon I will jump to one of them. I like your method of test and evaluation of autos. Nobody explains better
Great new look and evolution of Volvo's clean design...Wish I had the need for such a large vehicle!
Hate red turn signals!
Why?
Jayden Thompson They deceive as if braking rather than indicating to change lanes etc
Jayden Thompson if the pic is your car? look at your indicator and you will appreciate its design being sequential, plus when on it is yellow directing; i love and believe is the best indicator in the market
Zavier H Move to California, you'll never see them.

Great Review Alex! Will you be able to get your hands on the new Q7? Alex on Autos
I bought an Infiniti QX60 for my wife 2 months ago. I like the Volvo XC90 so much more. I never thought I would say that, because Volvo's were so boring to me. The tech in this vehicle is unbelievable for the price. I think this will be my next car since my wife now has hers
Best reviews made by this man
Omg, great material quality, design, safety and performance, bravo Volvo bravo.
And thanks Alex, great review as always
An excellent review (as always) of an excellent new offering from Volvo. This is one of the best SUVs available at the moment and is even more impressive in person. The future looks bright for Volvo!
thank you for this wonderful video of the Volvo XC90.
Excellent review Alex I think I just found my wife's new SUV.
The Kia K900 also has a digital speedometer and Rev counter. You guys should do a review of that car it actually suprised me. My first feelings towards the car at first were skeptical because it looks like a Ford Fusion and a Kia Optima had a baby and didn't know what to name it, so they gave it a robot name. But as soon as I sat in this land boat, it looked as if a Mercedes had a baby with NASA. The features available to the driver are all simple and beautifully designed, the back seats are as (if not) more comfortable than the front seats, and you actually feel like the President of the United States or some other important person. I didn't get a chance to drive this 420 hp beast and I wish I could have, but you guys can! Trust me, get rid of all your memories of previous KIAs because this car sets a whole new standard on lower budget luxury sedans.
Exactly the car I wanted you to review. Thank you!
Coolest infotainment system by far!
wow, honestly this new volvo is really nice. Ive never liked volvo, but this new suv definitely changed my mind.
Excellent review Alex.I was wondering if the X5 is larger than the MDX as shown in the review though.
Volvo is on the roll and this XC90 is simply amazing. The Germans still feel cost cutting when it comes to SUVs, this feels more expensive than it really is. The T8 gets my vote for being both efficient & clean.
Very good looking truck
Red Shirt Dude FTW!
Brilliant review, this was an absolute joy to watch & listen to! Maby the best car review iv heard.
When will the car seat review be coming out? I have little ones and appreciate this review in particular, thanks.
K Moore Soon I hope but I'm not clear on when. I think maybe one month or so.
@0:40 Ha - that quantitative scale is excellent
Alex - you're awesome. Great video cadence and lots of useful information. keep it up.
Very nice and comprehensive review
Hi Alex, I'd like to see a review on the new Audi Q7 - 3 row version, if possible.
Alex gives excellent reviews.
What a great review. Just exactly what I want to know and done beautifully. Nice with zero music as well. Great work. Subscribed.
Nice review, Alex.
Starting with the new XC90, City Safety is now the umbrella name for all of Volvo's auto brake functions. It combines the features of the earlier standard City Safety and the previously optional radar/camera-based system, collision warning with full auto brake with pedestrian and cyclist detection, with a number of enhancements.
It's works at all speeds from about 4 mph, day and night. 31 mph is the max speed difference at which it can avoid a collision completely. If the speed difference is greater, speed is reduced but the collision will not be avoided.
Great review. Lot of knowledge and to the point. Thanks!
As always, Alex an awesome review!
Excellent and very detailed review. Thanks so much!
one of my other car related subs did this car this week as well so I'm really getting the full scoop on this car haha nice review!
beautiful camera work.
Great car, great review.. and it looks awesome in 4k.
Great review as usual. Keep up the good work!
Those headlights omg
Alex, u r good journalist keep it up!
What a GREAT review man. Thank you!
Turbo charged and supercharged ? Hopefully it's not a nightmare to work on. Volvos have some of the best seats in the biz.
Nice review
Great thorough review!
SPA platform, sounds good
Thank you for talking about some of their performance. I was curious how the power felt for this small motor. 6.1 0-60 is very respectable for a 7 seat crossover with 22mpg!
That twist to start is ridiculous though. I can see that breaking easily.
9 years later, I can tell you all that the 2016 model year was riddled with mechanical and electrical issues. Its reliability sucked until 2020 when they gave it a slight refresh and modified its powertrains.
Alex's driving location is in the city of Ojai, CA 93023... Nice drive!
Good review Alex. You mentioned the MDX a few times, but wondering if you could elaborate on the performance and handling comparison. thanks.
Great video!
Nice Review...still waiting on the Chevy SS review?
Great video. Well done. I'm sold.
Great review - thanks. When do you expect to post the XC90 T8 review?
pvaughn2 I just put it up :-)
How about the 2016 honda polite interview would like to hear the new features it had your view his top notch.
Excellent review sir!
Brian Cooke Heated stearing wheel? And why does this not have electronic telescoping stearing wheel?
Hi Alex. Thanks for the awesome reviews, as always. This car has really peaked our interest. Will you be posting a child seat review, as well?
rajuliano As soon as I can get my hands on one for a week :-)
What happened to the minimalist durability we came to love in the 200 series. Luxury. What is this luxury?
maravilloso auto
You say all variants of the XC-90 should be commonly available everywhere in the U.S. by October. Any idea how long it will be until we start seeing those interiors in the V or S models? When that new interior arrives, assuming even a smallish bump in fuel economy, I'll be in line for a Volvo wagon.
Great review as always Alex! I actually think I would prefer the xc90 over the X5.
Me too this looks more updated than the x5
Alex really like your review. I am between MDX and xc90. what do you think? which one is better? I plan to buy and keep it for 6-8 years.
+Ge Yifan That really depends on what you're looking for. What would be your top 5 needs?
Yes! This has been much anticipated by me.
The $1800 air suspension requires another package be ordered, making its actual cost much higher if you otherwise did not want that package.
One stellar review!
Straight forward review! What is the retail of this package? This SUV looks beautiful!
Not sure why one would choose an QX60 for a highway cruise, as its floatiness and tip and dive mean it is far less stable at high speeds, which can be harrowing and fatiguing.
I love VOLVO any model except the electric. REAL CARS run on Gas.. Had a V70 loved that wagon the anti-SUV, now driving a S60 traded my C300 4Matic Benz,known in my house as BIG trouble, more time at the dealer that in my garage. Best move ever, Back to VOLVO for life.
Wondering what you picked for your own daily ride.
Thanks for this review. I'm a little disappointed with the red turn signals. Surprised Volvo went with red special for US spec.
Ryan Tai I was too, they said it was a style decision and that BMW and Audi's move toward red lamps was the reason. You can still swap in the Euro lamps although doing so could be expensive.
Alex on Autos I loved how you specially mentioned the red signals. Style over safety is exactly why I'm so disappointed with Volvo.
New Audi Q7 has even nicer instrument dials with some seriously cool&useful features.
+aysbg The Q7 dont have tablet interface like XC90 does. I would say the XC90 is more useful.
Srdjan Smudja I disagree. I find dedicated dials for certain things (that you access frequently) much more useful then the "tablet like interface". Q7 has one of best features on the market today - virtual cockpit.
aysbg Audi is not alone with virtual cockpit. Volvo, Mercedes and BMW has that aswell.
+Srdjan Smudja Where did I state its alone? I originally, 4 months ago, wrote: "Audi Q7 has even nicer instrument dials..." Not once I mentioned that Volvo doesn't have it or that its the only one on the marker that offers it. After seeing them both in person, I prefer Audi's virtual cockpit to Volvo's.
Great review!!!
I know this question might sound silly.
Putting luxury aside, which I don't really care about, in terms of drive feel, handling, practicality and safety which is better over all; 2016 Honda Pilot Touring or 2016 Volvo XC90 T6 Inscription?
It doesn't look like this comes with a DVD player as an option... not good. You do great reviews - thank you!!
thanks a lot! I was waiting for this :)
Is Volvo now putting headlight controls on the turn signal stalk? I personally prefer having the controls on the dash where they've always been. :(
