Perfect Blend of Tech and Luxury
We bought the XC90 T8 6 Seat Inscription. So much has changed since our 2013 XC90 was manufactured. Compared to the previous interior, Volvo has truly stepped up the design and you now feel like you’re in a true luxury car. The seats are very comfortable, the leather is supple and the inlays and trim are elegant. The shift knob is made of Swedish Crystal which is an elegant touch. The exterior styling is, in my opinion, at the top of the competitors...not to rounded off and not too boxy. The grill has been refreshed slightly and looks elegant without being too gaudy like some other manufacturers. Pure electric mode gives me a range of over 20 miles which is perfect for trips to the store and back or to drop off the kids at school. Compared to solely electric cars, acceleration is sluggish in pure electric mode. Put it in hybrid mode and it is remarkably quick. The primary reason I bought this car was to keep my family safe. Google the independent crash tests by IIHS and compare to the BMW or Audi and you can see for yourself the design of the XC90 is safer. Volvo also has a marketing video touting the engineering that went into making this the safest SUV in the road. I’ve owned Audi’s, BMW’s and Lexus vehicles and this is, hands down, the best car I’ve owned. It perfectly balances styling, eco-driving, and comfort without making a sacrifice for safety. The only negative I will mention is the passenger cup holders in the six seat configuration seem like an afterthought and will likely be broken by my kids...but that should not stop anyone from seriously considering the 2020 XC90.

Absolutely in love with this suv!!
We have the 6 passenger momentum t8 hybrid with the advanced package, and couldn’t be happier with it. We live in the city and have been amazed to find we are getting around 35-40mpg. For longer trips on the freeway the adaptive cruise control is fantastic, you set your ideal speed and the amount of following distance you want to keep to the car in front of you and the car will do all the accelerating and decelerating for you, when traffic slows so does the car without any need to break. Also, the 6 passenger interior is perfect it is spacious and you can easily access the third row, plus since there’s a center aisle the people in the last row aren’t so cramped since they can extend their legs into the aisle. The interior is what you would expect from Volvo, luxurious and incredibly comfortable.

BUYERS BE AWARE
DO NOT BUY VOLVO I am a owner of 2020 XC 90 V8 INSCRIPTION MODEL. Last year there was a coolant leak in my car. I took the car in for repairs; the repairs were over $2000 for a brand new car. The coating of tubes are made of soy products ........ATTRACTED TO RODENTS. Once again, my car had the same issue. It went to the dealership........AGAIN FOR THE SAME REASON. I have filed a complaint with Volvo USA. Waiting for action. If I were given a choice to buy a new car, I would definitely go back to LEXUS. DO NOT BUY VOLVO

Twice Burned
I purchased my first XC90 in ‘98 and it was returned under the “lemon law” due to a leaky sunroof that could not be fixed. Volvo was good and retuned all my money. Still, I ordered another XC90 hybrid and have been driving it for a few years. It has had a lot of repairs and the moment the 100k mile warranty ran out, a cell on the hybrid battery died with a proposed cost of 5k by the dealer. Opened a case with Volvo and they won’t help. Just a high cost and high maintenance vehicle - a lot that can go wrong.
