Great video. It's getting harder to find well-maintained examples, but good used units still make one of the best people haulers in 2022. They are thirsty, but safe and extraordinarily comfortable! There are some great Apple Carplay radio retrofit options for this car now.
A very important thing to mention in my opinion is the great combination it has between On Road Stability and comfort And Off Road capability which i think is not available in any other 7 seater same practical size SUV.
It's crazy that in 13 years they couldn't do 1 simple refresh to the dash and just throw in a decent sized infotainment screen around 2009/2010 when they S60 got redesigned...I feel sorry for anyone who bought the XC90 from 2008-2015...they definitely made up for it when the new XC90 came out in 2016 but could have easily sold many more units in the years leading up to the redesign if they had just made the effort
Excellent review guys.. and I miss the old xc90 volvo.. more stronger than new one.. I heard the new one too much technology and xc90 stop on the road.. and too much money 90-$100k Kongo for life...
Gearbox, DPF, etc. But gearbox you need to be sure it's been serviced else expect it to be toast at great expense to yourself. The earlier models were less reliable so newer ones the gearbox and engine issues are far fewer....
the infotainment is dated and all of that.. yes yes yes.. but that doesnt mean its worse. i rather have this that the tesla or the newer volvo screen. simplier, does what it needs to do.
Still a nice vehicle in 2020!
We’ve had 2 XC90’s and loved them both very reliable and family friendly.
Amazing review! this guy knows his xc90's!!
Been looking at a XC90 as a second car for the family.. think this review has sold me

Really thorough review, very handy for used buyers :-)

I love this car
Just picked up a used one with under 9k miles per year on it for my old dad. He loves it!
Not seen on any review yet of this car, but you also can put flat (forward) the passenger seat, for really long stuff
Fantastic review! I’m actually looking at xc90 vs BMW X5.

Agreed. I put a 10” touchscreen into mine and it changed the whole vibe of the car
You can operate the satnav by buttons at back of steering wheel as well as remote control, its still crap to use though.
Yes
I Agree With You. It's An Awesome Car To Drive. Does The Acceleration Bug You? Great Review.

Kongo for life...
Imagine having owned one, and then coming to review one, and still not knowing that the Sat-Nav controls are on the back of the steering wheel.
Or buy one now for around 15k pounds (2014 R design with quad exhausts)
such a huge differance between this 2015 xc90 and the 2016 xc90
That one that was driven passed was an XC60, so, they are not everywhere
This was labeled as a review of the 2015 then at the end, we’re directed to “next year’s model” which is 2014.
Something’s off.
totallyfrozen 2014 in like the uk but Australia got it kinda late
This model is still being made in China but under the name "XC Classic." Go look it up, its real
Same mine
👏🏻
Hey, what's up? It's Unbelievable! race interfere What do you think, guys? !!
It should be 650 horsepower now that's power
Okay, you mention all of the pros, how about the cons? 🤔😁
Gearbox, DPF, etc. But gearbox you need to be sure it's been serviced else expect it to be toast at great expense to yourself. The earlier models were less reliable so newer ones the gearbox and engine issues are far fewer....
Why don't you Aussies use "hp" like normal people do? Excellent review, by the way.
aquaphoenixx It's that damn metric system again :)
aquaphoenixx - do you want Aussies to use MPG and cubic feet too, like "normal" people?
James Filosa come on.. almost the rest of the world use "hp"
POWER AND ENERGY:
I'll use kW and J, you can use hp and Calories. Good luck with your Physics conversions! (remember to use base 12... "dozen")
James Filosa well yeah so does everyone but when talking about cars only australia uses kW.
radio still out of date for so many years looks like 2004 model
bc it pretty much is the 2004 model lol. im surprised it lasted on gen 1 for so so long.
Eminem is still king 👑
No, he's bullshit.
My mom has it
It's a 2014
the infotainment is dated and all of that.. yes yes yes.. but that doesnt mean its worse. i rather have this that the tesla or the newer volvo screen. simplier, does what it needs to do.
not 2015
2014 ✌🏻
volvo did a great job with their new 2016 volvo xc90.! just look how pathetic it used to be!
Sit back, it’s so annoying you as a man 👨 sitting that close to steering! Be a man and pull all the way back,
Those cars are junk
Lol says the one who has his name Saab
