  • This SUV is the next step in the future of driving - 2016 Volvo XC90
    By -

    At least get the Convenience and Momentum Plus packages with this Luxury vehicle.The vehicle is built on proven technology. I realized that a lot of the gadgets and feature were already in some of the other Volvos, but the XC90 just take them to higher level. The XC90 drives sweet, I just have to get use to the engine turning off at every dead stop, and restarting when the brakes are released. The inside is somewhat captivating, and there is more than enough room for everyone. Power outlets placed in strategic areas around the vehicle, and air vents are right in your face. Update - After six months of driving the vehicle, some of the issues I have had has been software related. We had to visit the dealership at least five times during that period to get software issues fixed, some of these issues were serious, while others were not so serious. Also the pickup/acceleration is slow in every drive mode except "dynamic", then it kicks assets.

    This vehicle is pure class. Amazing features and drive. The one knock could be that this is not a overpowering vehicle.

  • I want to love you - 2016 Volvo XC90
    By -

    I really want to love my 2016 XC90 momentum. A great looking car. I have 25,000 miles on the vehicle in less than 1 year of ownership. We have been in the shop for a total of 2 weeks to fix Sensus which boots and reboots. Navigation that stops. Loud clicking noises every time you turn, stop and go. Fealership replaced wheel bearings but still have the clicking issue and now the ride is horrible even after new tires etc.. as the vehicle shakes, rattles and rolls. I just took a very painful 8 hour family trip to Disney and now I am looking for my next vehicle. Pros. Good gas mileage, great interior layout with useable 3rd row seat. Love Sensus when it works. If the clicking could stop and the vehicle rode smooth like it did when first purchased then I would love it.

  • Loving our safe and thrifty hybrid T8! - 2016 Volvo XC90
    By -

    We already have a 2008 Volvo , which has been reliable and comfortable. So we had no qualms about purchasing such an upscale Volvo. The car is a joy to drive - the interior is an oasis of quiet refinement. We read reviews before road testing, so were anxious to try this SUV with and without the air suspension. I must say, the ride quality and auto lowering for ingress and egress with the air suspension are fantastic. We watched Youtube crash videos of the new XC90 and its competitors and came away convinced of Volvos class-leading safety. The new XC90 is packed with technology to improve safety and creature comforts, thus it took several weeks to learn all of our cars features.

  • Cant wait to get out of this car - 2016 Volvo XC90
    By -

    This is our second XC90 since February of this year. The first was back at the dealer so many times with various software issues that Volvo of North America bought out the lease and got us an identical 2016. The second vehicle has been equally disastrous. Brake problems at 3,000 miles (rotors and pads, front and back), defective auto stop, battery charge issues, recalls, suspension squeaking -- need I say more? 128 Volvo has been very accommodating on both the sales and service end and I have now filed a complaint with Volvo of North America to end the lease. Such a shame, as the car is gorgeous and drives sweet when I have it. The computer system is confusing to say the least and the climate control goes from no air at all to a veritable Swedish wind tunnel. We had an XC60 for years with never a problem. Im chomping at the bit to get out of this vehicle.

  • **DO NOT BUY** - 2016 Volvo XC90
    By -

    Vehicle has nothing but issues, **audio went out - this means everything navi voice, turn signal notice, locking notice, music, bluetooth EVERYTHING. ------------- audio module replaced ---------- ** now insane amount of squeaks and rattles at all speeds -------- ** outlet for phone charging, etc NEVER WORKS, numerous replacement of $2 part ------- ** upgrade charge to autopilot 2 continually fails not allowing usage of the actual system, or even just adaptive cruise bottom line... do not buy the car. $60,000 vehicle cannot hold a candle to other vehicles... great concept just not there yet.

  • Lemon. They had to take it back - 2016 Volvo XC90
    By -

    At times the car was horribly unreliable. Other times it was reliably horrible. SERVICE departments were not helpful. They couldnt figure out problems. VOLVO USA was argumentative and in denial. Got a Q7. Everything works. Better performance. FAR better electronics. SUPER reliable. I still miss the XC 90 magic blue color and the seats. (My Q7 has regular, not luxery package seats). Will NEVER buy another Volvo. NEVER.

  • New Standard for SUVs - 2016 Volvo XC90
    By -

    Very simply this is a great automobile. We had been a Jeep Grand Cherokee family for 20 years but needed a 3rd row. Base suspension is great. Very smooth and firm, which means it does not feel like a boat. Check your tire pressure when you first get the car. Ours had 45 psi which we found out it quite common as they overfill in Sweden so the tires do not flat spot in shipping. They should check it before delivery but ours was missed. I think some of the rough ride comments are caused by this. After correcting this the ride is amazing. Seats are the best I have ever sat in with great lumbar adjustment. The power is fine. 316 horsepower from a 4 cylinder engine is amazing.
