Danielle Y

Smooth ride, safe, comfortable drive. Great family car!

The only issue I have encountered is some electrical components going out. Volvo is quick to resolve issue. Otherwise, great performance and drive. Very safe vehicle.

My car is has the r design sport package. Black on black. Security and wireless.

Love the sporty details to the r design package. The car is not too big yet not too small. It has a lot backup camera, front collision alert system braking, headlights that follow the road curves and just fun and safe car to drive. I love it, best Volvo model we have had.

Marie P

It is super safe, equipped with lots air bags. We didn't even think twice when were choosing our Volvo

No problems, very safe and spacious. Love it!!! Very convenient when driving, huge trunk. Safe on the road. Very good for our family of 3

Julie I

Luxury with all the bells and whistles.

Quiet, comfortable seats, great control in all types of weather, touch screen is easy to use, great sound system, leather seats are a must, tons of space even with 3rd row up, gas mileage is great for AWD when put in echo mode, lack of storage in console is only negative.

Melissa A

Nothing else to add. Wonderful car.

No problems to report. Love my car so much and will get another after lease. Drives smooth and great on gas. I feel so safe driving. Size inside is great. Trunk is huge and can fit so much! The car turns off when the driver door opens. This is an annoying feature but it is not a reason to not get the car. It is for safety so I understand.

Love my safe and spacious Volvo xc90.

It has been a great vehicle so far. There's so much room for everything we do. There's space for the dogs and still room for people in the back seat. I love all of the safety features and customizable options. We haven't had any trouble with it so far.

Laurel S

My vehicle is very comfortable and it has cooling seats and heated seats.

I have experienced very few problems with my Volvo xc90, they ac occasionally gives out, but it turns on eventually. It is very comfortable inside. The heated seats are very comfortable when we go up north.It's very comfortable for my family of 5, and comfortably fits all of us.

Volvo XC90: Exceptional Commuting Review

Purchased on 3 criteria: vehicle safety, driver comfort, gas mileage. I commute over three hours a day so safety, comfort and fuel efficiency were very important to me. I have not been disappointed with this vehicle. It is safe, luxurious and comfortable. There have been unexpected disruptions with the software and GPS and that is literally the only issue I've had. Seats are crazy comfortable, sound system is amazing and I love the hands free driving and adaptive cruise.

This is a good vehicle for someone who can afford constant maintenance

It's really expensive for maintenance and it needs maintenance frequently it's not always super reliable my next vehicle will not be a Volvo. It takes a long time to get parts in and it's hard to find the parts unless you go to the dealership which costs more. It's a lot to maintain

Good luxury vehicle for a reasonable price.

The Volvo xc90 has nice interior finishes and great space. We bought it for the convertible third row. The third row allows us to fit additional passengers, or when folded down provides a significant amount of additional trunk space. The sound system is a good quality. It drives very smooth and does a good job of quieting outside noise. It does have an auto start stop feature when you stop at a red light, which we find annoying. You can turn it off, but it comes back on every time you start the car.

Pros from Owners

Yvette A.

Drives smooth, chic trim and interior, comfortable seats, kick sensor trunk, a lot of trunk space, the touchscreen interface is easy to use. The speakers have great crisp sound and the sunroof is a treat.

Cons from Owners

Yvette A.

I do not like that the third row is difficult to access. The cup holders for the back row are badly situated since the middle row is take up by car seats. Would like to see better access to third row and cup holders placed somewhere different.
