Safety first

This is my 5th Volvo and and currently own three XC90's. They are 2005, 2007 and 2013. I love the way they handle all road conditions and the way they drive. Although the exterior and interior designs are somewhat dated compared to other SUV's. The engine power is adequate for the vehicle weight. Fit and finish are superb. Visibility - No blind spots. Can't and wont compromise safety. These vehicles fit the bill for my needs. Routine maintenance is a must if you want this car to last and perform like new,

Saved my life when hit head on while pregnant

The Volvo XC90 is the safest car on the road! Second one I have owned. This car saved my and my unborn baby’s life when in a head-on car accident 8 months pregnant.

Best car I've ever owned!

I traded in my beloved Ford Ranger for a 2013 XC90 3.2 AWD with 95,000 miles at the end of 2018 and became the first non American brand car I've own. So far, I've put about 25,000 miles on it and has exceeded my expectations. It seems to tow my 16' boat with ease, was very comfortable driving across country and with decent ground clearance and a very capable AWD system, it does surprisingly well off road. I was even able to pull my buddies stuck 4X4 Toyota Tacoma out of the mud. It has done all of this while not having to put a dime into it other than oil changes and some mud and snow tires.

Solid car. Great ride

Car is very stylish, rides great, and built solid. Love it. I would recommend Volvo’s to anyone. So glad we found this one. The XC 90 is better than the Mercedes Ml we had

Car was a great buy,

This car has some issues, but it is used. They are minor issues, and nothing note worthy. It needs new fuses, the ac works when it wants to, there is a leak in the rear brake pump, and it needs a front end alignment. All stuff to be expected, and will not be issues to get fixed.

My family will ALWAYS travel in a Volvo.

this car is like driving around in a tank! My wife has been in 3 accidents (none her fault) and my family has walked away every time!

Volvo Fan

Wanted my next vehicle to be an SUV. The Volxo XC90 is roomy, comfortable, solid .. you actually feel very safe in it, and drives very smoothly.

Swedish ergonomics, style and design elegance

My second Volvo XC90, and totally enjoyable every day, from the comfortable leather seats, fully appointed and feature rich interior, and fantastic sound system with all of the latest electronic and wireless features integrated into the car. Excellent handling, safe and ergonomic all around. An awesome expression of Swedish design elegance.
