Excellent design

Excellent redesign. Very powerful 4 cylinder super charged engine, but very reasonable gas milage. There are no shortage of safety features.

Goodbye BMW, Hello Volvo

Our BMW x3 had been a wonderful car to us but our family was outgrowing it and it was time to look into the third row option. The four finalists were Audi Q7, Volvo XC90, Toyota Highlander, and Honda Pilot. Such an incredibly tough decision since I wanted bells and whistles equally matched with great design and safety. Q7 was my top pick but the interior kept me from being completely sold. Don't get me wrong, the comfort and sheer power of the car had me going back to the dealership three times for a test drive. My husband and I drove the Volvo a couple of times and it finally won out in the end. A few thousand more expensive than the Highlander and Pilot, I feel like the Volvo is justified since it comes with so many standard features. 5 stars all around except a 4 for performance. I'm coming from a BMW and the power of the engine just feels more substantial in both the BMW and the Audi. That being said, Volvo is still a powerhouse with its turbo-charged engine. We've had our car for three weeks and I'm completely won over.

Best Car I own

Best car I own. I had other brand and this Volvo is on top of the list. Most comfortable seats and just enjoy driving it all around. The most enjoy tech is the HUD so I can keep focus on the road and the city safety is the best on the market.

Superb Vehicle

A great car. New body lines; new interior. Electronics are outstanding and, somewhat, surreal! The car is intuitive and can drive itself--Adaptive Cruise Control; Lane Assist; Park Assist; headlights that bend; 360 degree cameras; blind spot indicators; notification if you appear tired. Great value for the money.

Great Car!

We bought our car in San Antonio with Ray Aguilar. The buying experience was like no other, we didn't have to haggle with the prices nor were we pressured in buying anything. The car itself is great, it has exceeded our expectations. We have a BMW 328i as well and the Volvo is pretty comparable in luxury to the BMW. Love all the cool features in the car, especially the 360 bird-eye view of the car.

Best volvo ever

XC 90 voted the SUV of the year deserves every praise it gets. Having owned many Volvos, this car is the best. (I am 83 years old) It has all the options and I am having fun discovering all of them. It drives very quiet with lots of pover. I used the 2 extra seats the other night to take 5 of my family out for dinner. I probably like best the adaptive cruise control. Almost drives itself. Recommend highly!

most expensive and technicaly advanced suv I've ow

The vehicle performs well and handles great. there is little to no maintenance that can be performed by the owner, this is hard for me coming from a mechanical back ground. Safety is rated top of it's class and with all the features I can see why. I'm leery about the computerized controls but Volvo seems to have a good reputation for reliability and only time will tell. Overall I'm very happy with the vehicle.

A New Very Happy Owner

Colby you rock! We've never had an easier time buying a vehicle, Thank you Maguire, you do it right. We drove home a beautiful new car, with all the bells and whistles. This is a car that will make you proud to be driving it. Ask Colby about the car wash story!

Beautifully styled car

The redesigned Volvo XC90 is beautiful with many new function and convenience features. It nearly drives itself. Also, I love the excellent safety rating of the vehicle.
