Connie F

Volvo xc90 is a luxurious vehicle with great safety features.

The Volvo xc90 is a safe car to drive. When I drive it is very sturdy and solid and I feel very safe. It has a punch to it when you step on the gas and can go pretty fast in a short amount of time. It is luxurious inside with leather seats, Bluetooth, and XM radio.

That it is the perfect car for me and my family. The size is just right and it offers rugged luxury.

I love that it's the perfect mix of luxury and ruggedness. The size is not too big, and not too small.

Jon C

It is a solid, safe, and functional design that works in every situation.

It has a great design and very high quality materials. I love the memory driver seat and automatic wipers. My only dislike is the older generation six-cylinder engine, which is lacking some power and has poor fuel economy. I know newer models have a turbo 4 which is probably better.

Tammie W

Volvo vehicles performance is the highest quality.

Vehicle is very reliable. Routine maintenance vehicle will perform at the highest quality. I recommend Volvo.

Shawna B

It is very safe without losing any feeling of comfort.

I love the feel and interior space/layout of my car. It is very comfortable to drive and ride in. The seats can be slightly difficult to put down occasionally and I wish there was an easy place for trash but these are minor complaints compared to my overall love for the car.

Max R

It drives like a tank and is very easy to handle.

Super comfortable and reliable. The one major drawback is the cost of maintenance and upkeep. Also the cost of repairs is prohibitive.

Maxi R

This truck handles very good in all kinds of weather.

Love how it drives and how comfortable it is. Very roomy also. Only drawback is terrible gas mileage.

Angela R

I have only driven a Volvo and love them!

I haven't had any major problems with my vehicle. I have had tiny issues like the key fob does not work the best and the bliss is not the most reliable. The performance is great. It is super comfortable. All of the Volvos I have had have been comfortable. It is a super reliable car. The AWD is a huge plus for the hilly area we live in.

Negative Owner Reviews

It is just the base model. I just have purchased a better package.

I have had some problems with it. I feel that it is not 100% reliable. The features are not great. I wish that I bought the package with the back up camera. It drives comfortably and has quite a bit of room in it. The warranty has been good on it but once it expired the maintenance is expensive.

Keri M

Volvo xc90, year 2014 with the basic package.

I have had some maintenance problems with it. I take it to Volvo for maintenance and I feel like I am not getting great service. This is supposed to be a very reliable brand but I do not feel comfortable driving far distances with it. I do like the size of this car and the set up inside. This model was not worth the price though.

Oscar C

The Volvo XC90 is a type of SUV that allows up to 7 people in the car.

Overall the performance is perfect. Recently the car had difficulties with its AC due to the fact that we live in Texas the Heat broke our AC. Another problem was that due to the get a Little Rock landed on our car screen and it cracked it. Due to the heat it caused a huge crack and ruined the glass. Overall the Volga drives properly. It has been a reliable car and has traveled throughout Europe and South America. There has never been any tired problems with the Volvo. Overall my family has been very pleased with this car.

It is got third row seating.

Really no trouble it has been a great SUV for the time we've had it, decent gas mileage and reliability. Minimal maintenance needed to keep it going. Feel safe when out with the kids due to safety features of the xc90. Roomy and spacious, enough room for kids and friends.

Jenny A on February 14, 2021

Timeless, reliable and safe.

Car is reliable and easy to operate. It has a timeless look. It lacks some of the bells and whistles of other models but has everything you need to be comfortable while not having unnecessary pieces that can break or need future repairs. The 3rd row is easy to raise and lower when needed. When up there is still plenty of room to transport groceries or sporting goods.

Pros from Owners

Keri M.

It is a good size with lots of room. It is a safe car. It has a great record for being a safe car. It lets you know when maintenance is due. It is comfortable to drive. There are many choices of colors.

Cons from Owners

Keri M.

After several years, starting to have more problems that do not seem to get resolved after service. They were behind in technology when the vehicle was purchased compared to other companies. Very expensive each time taking it in for maintenance.

How Reliable Is The 2014 Volvo XC90?

Not with ours. Look out for light replacement. My experience has been replacing bulbs and not entire light units. Right rear 420$ to replace.

John M.

Is The 2014 Volvo XC90 A Good Value?

We paid 13000. For us, it is a tremendous value. Mileage could be better but styling, security, safety, perception is very high quality.
