2018 Volvo XC90 consumer reviews

Drove a XC90 R-Design and liked this vehicle a lot. Seemed to have a great amount of rear legroom. Then we tried putting an infant car seat in the back. You have to push the front seat up so far that someone can't sit with their legs straight. Tried with a rear-facing toddler seat and the same issue. I cannot believe a car this big has this issue. So if you're looking for SUVs like this and you have a kid in a car seat, you may want to look elsewhere. We couldn't buy it due to this limitation.

Have not owned the car long but so far am happy with it overall. I’m not thrilled with the console design - awkward compartments and frustrated with the blue tooth - sometimes it connects sometimes not. Car rides nicely and is comfortable and love all of the safety features.

If you are looking for a real safe, reliable, fuel economic, great autonomy, comfortable and user-friendly car, try one XC90 Volvo. I've been driving cars for more than sixty years in my life and only a few years ago I bought a C70 Volvo (hard top convertible) as a second car and felt in love with it. Then I decided to try one XC60 as our primary car. Then exchanged for another XC60, when we decided to stay with volvo cars. By the end of last year, we switched to one XC90 to test and are very happy with it.

The XC90 looks great and is very comfortable. However, the included "Pilot Assist" that claims to be semi-autonomous is anything but! It is NOT ready for prime time. When you crest a hill is jolts you into on-coming traffic! When you bottom a hill it jolts you to the right! It fights you constantly. It likes to drive just left of center, too close to the center line... which gives you some evil eyed looks from your on-coming traffic. If you don't fight with it, it will turn off in 10 seconds. Most other cars with similar systems work much better. They can tell if your hands are on the steering wheel. And, that is enough for it not to turn off on you. You have to actually make inputs in steering to keep it on! So, you must actually turn the car a little in order for the system to know you are awake so it won't turn off. WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS OK? Meanwhile, I have already needed a new 02 sensor. The Ipad control panel has needed several updates. I am usually 5 minutes down the road before it is fully booted up and functioning. The on-board modem needs the chip removed and replaced several times a month so it will work. The entire car was not fully vetted before coming to market. I think Volvo wanted to be first or at least in line with other manufacturers. So, they pushed this technology. It is NOT ready. The Pilot Assist will cause a major crash if you let it. I would be curious to know how many folks have been affected by this feature. I recommend to not even turn it on! The speed and distance feature performs very well, however. It will keep you your desired distance from the car in front of you. Overall, the XC90 looks good and is fun to drive. It just seems to have some maintenance issues and the Pilot Assist feature does not work properly at all. Google it! And this vehicle is very expensive!

This SUV is incredible. More safety options than imaginable and having the Volvo button much like Onstar is an amazing feature. The kids love the wifi and the panoramic roof. One feature I wish it had was a charging station for my phone. The leather while soft and plush is super sensitive to jeans and leaves mark's on them. I also wish we could have rain guards, volvo doesn't make them but we had aftermarket ones installed. I didn't feel comfortable with the way the window was closing so we removed them. One last recommendation is to order Weather Tech floor mats. While Volvo offers a heavy duty they cannot compete with WeatherTech. I love my Volvo lease.

I am looking forward to my next road trip in my new XC90. I look for places to drive. It handles well in the snow and rain. I feel safe with my children and grandchildren in the car, but more importantly it is big enough for everyone to have their own space :-).

Between check engine lights and massive water leaks and worn out brakes at 20k miles this truck isn’t worth the hype. The made in China stamps I see on a lot of the interior parts confirm this thing is cheap. The dash board leather peeling off and did mention water leaks. Also still uses too much oil,factory says pistons and rings are no good oil light comes on.

I traded my Range Rover Evoque for this vehicle and this vehicle has everything I loved about the Range Rover and more. The driving experience and comfort of this vehicle is amazing. The simplicity of the touch screen is a definite plus as well as all the other features. It's a very modern, fun vehicle to drive.

I have had this car for about a month now, and I love it. I went for the 316hp T-6, and I am glad that I did. It is fun to drive. I got it with the air suspension and when you put it in Dynamic mode is does not feel like the 7 passenger SUV that it is. That "can do" spirit from the supercharged and turbocharged 4 cylinders mated with the "I got a gear for that" smooth shifting 8-speed automatic just makes you smile. It feels and handles like a sports car. The Bowers & Wilkins stereo is worth it! I hear sounds from old tunes that I have never heard before. I got a great deal on it as well. It is a luxury car and worth every dollar! PS - it is also my truck, I haul stuff in it and with both rear rows folded a lot of stuff, and it cleans up great for a night out.

This car has every option and they are all fabulous The interior is impeccably designed Seating is very comfortable Sound system is out of this world THE BEST !!
