I like this design better than the ex90, especially when put side by side. The interior is gorgeous, again much nicer than ex90 which has gone too Teslaesque. I hope Volvo can stay true to Scandinavian elegant designs and not go too minimalist. BTW, I thought the ex30 interior is a disgrace.
The EX90 is in no way Teslaesque. It is pure Volvo Scandinavian understated the way Volvos used to be back in the 80s and 90s and such. While the XC90 is Scandinavian, the EX90 is even more so. This "minimalism" is a Tesla thing and not what Volvo is doing. For instance, the backlit ambiance lights in the pattern of Volvo's B&W speakers is a detail Tesla wouldn't ever think of putting in their cars. And the EX30 interior is magnificent IMO and looks like no other.
@@atlantikav5902 And I guess also electric shade for the sunroof. And they also have integrated shades in 2nd row doors in XC90. Oh, and of course 4 dedicated windows switches.
I love the new updated XC90, the front is so beautiful, the whole car is a handsome beast, I really like the new interior design changes, a big improvement on the previous model, I now actually desire one of these, whereas before I used to admire !
I wish the EX90 looked like this. I have an XC40 P8 and i love the cluster of that car which here is combined with the EX90 screen. This is what the EX90 should have been
Then the EX90 would look like a last generation car. The EX90 has to look modern for awhile then look less modern otherwise it'll age quickly. People just aren't used to not having a grill at the front of the car.
I have a 2022 XC90 B5D R Design Pro with all the extras and was look forward to this update as I thought it may have been retired by the time I was due to change. Love the interior update and front end but also disappointed they didn’t go further. The side and rear are as close to the same so hardly noticeable in changes. I also thought the T8 would have been updated as well to give it a longer electric range. Not sure how long at has left in the range but feel they will need to do more in a few years time if they want it to carry on until the end of the decade. That said I do love my XC90!
I've noticed they are still doing the Nappa leather option in the configurator. (Thank you Volvo...!) In fact, it seems to be the only option you can pick if you want the massage seats for now. I really hope they bring back leather on the EX range of cars too.
Great episode, that kind of shows that the Volvo flagship seems to have lost its way. I’m starting to get flashbacks of a lot of Saab decisions and designs towards the end. Oh, and “I want a Zapotec GO home charger.”
I wish Volvo does something with their sensus infotainment system updates as it’s not the best. I have a 2017 D5 top spec :) very happy with it. Only 1 breakdown which is the engine temp sensor gone wrong.
So you think it's aged very well but because it's 10 years old, for some reason it needs to change more?!? If this was any other manufacturer, you'd be praising its modern looks and ground breaking new style. Why not just accept that it's a classic design that will be talked about for decades to come.
It's a last gen car now. It's not a modern look anymore. I don't want to see Volvo turn into what they were when they had the 140/240 body style go on far too long.
The XC90 update looks nice, IMO. However, it still leave the lingering questions, at least to me ... Why buy ICE when the company is committed to moving to EV-only and is its price/value in-line with the competition? A "base", but very well equipped Ultra is $81K US. A 2025 BMW X5, with options selected that make it comparable to the Ultra, lists for $79K US. The 2025 is $2K less than the Ultra, most likely offers a better drive and, IMO, has a better infotainment system. With this said, when it comes to the EX's exterior and interior design, I prefer the EX over the X5.
Why in the hell did they change the front grill ? That new grill is ugly and it takes away from the look of the vehicle, prefer the old front grill much better , good changes for the interior and rear tail light , still gonna buy one and gonna have to live with that front grill 😡
A just OK facelift IMO and inadequate interior redo. The dash is from the XC60 and the screen is from the Polestar 2 (overly large bezels). The wood trim is nice and fabrics, but it is obviously not fresh or modern or what is now the current design of Volvo seen in the EX90/EX30. People don't want to accept that the modern EX90/EX30 interior is Volvo's next generation and want to stay stuck on the XC90/s90/XC60/s60 interiors as what Volvos should use forever. And it can't be that way. A different look is now current and that's the EX90s and EX30's interiors which seems starker than the XC90 but pretty much what Volvo has done for many years in their Scandinavian design. I think Tesla truly modernized the interior of their S, which looked quite dated, with the totally changed interior. Volvo has not done that. There is a ton of carry-over. Not saying the S interior is great, but it is totally modernized over the old one. The exterior is the same car with a new front end. The back looks pretty much the same, the side profile as well, and the grill is kind of busy but I like the new Thor's hammer lights and the other treatment. Volvo made a mistake not making a really new XC90 and hybrid cars so they'll have to keep what is now an older design running longer than the 8 year cycle they intended. Same will be the s90 and xc60/s60.
Front looks more like XC60, especially the headlights... I wish they had worked on the EV part of it. A bit longer EV range, faster charging would be highly appreciated. It looks like, being the best 7 seater in the premium segment, they did not feel the need for improvement, neither Q7 nor X5/X7 are giving same quality/money compared to XC90...
You are right. Well, let's see how they will price it then. I am expecting some good deals on the stocks recently... Apart from the bigger screen, what else is "more" than the existing?
Perfect facelift…the most beautiful SUV there is. And as we know, a Volvo only gets better when they have been in production for some years.
For me the new facelift more better looks than old on.. I will trade this to my old X5.. btw thanks dude for review this car🥰🙏.. keep it up dude!
Yeah, I do agree! I really like the new front end, and especially the interior. Thanks mate :)
It's like good wines; over the time they get better and better

Also the XC90 has a sliding electric sunroof, not a fixed glass roof like the stupid design of the EX90!

the back design was redesign in the last years so it's already fresh!
I like the style of the XC90. So staying with the model is a good choice by Volvo.
ITS PERFECTION KRIS👌🏾✨✨✨
Thanks for the review Kris! Appreciate all the work you do! I want to win a Zapotec Go home charger!
Thanks a lot!
I wish Volvo made a sportier version of the xc90 and xc60. A proper sports car and not just trims. They would be huge in the market!!
I have a 2018 XC90 with air suspension but I am disappointed with the quality of the suspension since it is much to stiff. Have they changed that?

Wow it has been a while! Although it was sad to see that you only review electric car, AKA microwave box.
Tablet stuck to dash looks like an after thought !
This generation of SPA is on its last refresh before we start to expect a new XC90
There will not be an all-new XC90.
the integration of that center screen looks messy...like it was an after thought
Looks beautiful, the grill could be a little bit cleaner, looks a bit carpe diem, hope the polestar is better looking.
Bro can you say brand new one more time?
I was able to turn off/on the start/ stop system on my 2016 XC90. Can you still do that, or is it on all the time?
