Amazing car! A really strong car,
In my experience it was the best decision. I really never like the Volvo style, but my husband wants to visit the store. After that we fell in love with this car. It is a super save car. It is a different feeling when you drive a Volvo. The car is spacious and the look is beautiful.

This is the new family SUV- minivans move over!
The comfort of this car is truly amazing. The finishing touches of walnut make it beautiful. We are really big into music and the sound system (before any add ons) is excellent. The space provided by taking the third row down helps when we travel or do big trips. My only caution is that sometimes the connectivity between your phone and the apple play plugin fails.

Makes you want to be behind the wheel and enjoy the journey.
No problems at all with this vehicle. There is 1 safety recall that needs to be done on this vehicle. Overall this is a very comfortable and safe vehicle and looks really good. The amount of features on this 'base model' blows my mind. On other brands this would be serious upgrades to get these.

Volvo xc90 safe reliable and fun to drive.
I love my Volvo. It is extremely safe and reliable. I choose the r-design because of the more sporty look of the wheels, seats and steering wheel. The car can really pick up and go for the large size of the car. It has 7 seats which fits my family of 5 very well with lots of extra room. The seats are so comfortable and heated as well. It has pilot assist driving which is awesome, helps keep me on the road and safe at all times. Touch screen Bluetooth radio.

Best midsize SUV on the market.
The car is safe comfortable and quick the engine can be a little noisy at times but not overbearing. The only thing I think needs improvement are the headlights could be brighter and there should be more standard features when you are buying a higher package level.

2019 Volvo xc90 inception. What we need & the luxury we didn't know we wanted.
Very comfortable interior. Easy to drive. Safety features are amazing and helpful. Apple carplay is a real highlight. Love the heated steering wheel, heated front and back seats. The a/c seats is also really nice. The GPS is always correct. We have two dogs and the back seats fold down perfectly to allow room for them as well as our young son's car seat. Child safety is also a huge reason we purchased the car.

Volvo xc90 - best all-around luxury car for the money.
I love the comfort features including the soft padded armrests. The cockpit is pleasing to the eyes and the performance is amazing. I love when I am turning at night that my headlights also turn in the direction I am going. This is very helpful when driving curvy roads. The tires also perform very well in winter weather conditions.

I find the car to be in excellent shape.
My vehicle is in excellent shape. I have recently had work done on this vehicle and I have ensured that my car is up to date with the latest oil change. I have noticed though that I do need to renew small details such as change the windshield wipers and update the color of the car.

Negative Owner Reviews

It's an okay-sh car that was very expensive and probably not worth it.
The lane recognition swerves you away even when passing which I do not like. The driver side mirror needs to be adjusted manually. On dark roads, low beam headlights create a visible dark like along the mid windshield that makes visibility very poor.

Volvo xc90 short and sweet.
Probably safe but performance leaves a lot to be desired. Little nagging issues with electronics not always working crisply. Also, the headlights are poorly positioned to create a dark and light split on the front windshield when driving along very dark roads.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Orlanzo C.

The vehicle has many positives to include how comfortable the ride is. I feel barely any bumps on the road even in NYC. The seats do not feel uncomfortable even with prolonged travel times. It handles turns well and responds well when accelerating. The design is amazing both aesthetically and mechanically everything works well together.

likeFilled Viktoria H.

Smooth driving, steering is very good, fast acceleration, very silent car on the road as well. The car is also very sleek looking. I feel safe in the car- Volvo is supposed to be very safe. It is also very comfortable.

likeFilled Jill T.

Side mirrors light up when it is not safe to change lane. Heated front and back seats. 3rd row. Rear camera. GPS. On call button. Love the front headlights. Huge double pane moonroof. Beautiful stock rims. Bluetooth.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Orlanzo C.

The vehicle leaves a lot to be desired when we explore its electronics. Specifically the center console. Whenever we hit a slight bump the radio would turn on even sometimes it would change the temperature. It was mostly fixed with an update but the UI is still very clunky and not natural. It wouldn't hurt to add some haptic sounds to the navigation or at least have the option for that.

dislikeFilled Viktoria H.

No cup holder in back of the car and the blue tooth does not always connect. The GPS system is also cumbersome. Otherwise there is no real issue in terms of driving or operating, just small things that would be upgraded.

dislikeFilled Jill T.

When I lower either the air conditioning or heat from level 2, 3, 4, 5, down to 1, the air conditioning and heat make a louder noise on level 1 than on 2-5. No cooled seats option. My model does not make brown interior leather.
