They've done enough. The only downside is the protruding tablet, but the software is much better now. The previous design aged well and they simply updated it instead of completely redesigning it. Looks alright to me, very relaxing and classy interior.
Volvos are always beautiful and aesthetically pleasing…. Reliability however is yet to be seen - but I’d still buy one if I had a spare $80k laying around
Very classy indeed. The big centre screen is no doubt of higher standards than the one on the previous XC90, but whereas it was nicely intergrated before, now it looks as though it has been stuck on as if an afterthought. Not so nice 😅
Here comes the new dog, same as the old dog. That'll do just fine. Like an old pair of boots, some things are perfect just as they are. Some don't get what is a XC90, and for them, there's plenty of options out there...go on ! Volvo owners do not give a toss what other people think. Cheers
Nah, P1 P2 volvo owners cant understand how good handling and powerfull cars become old grandpa 900series... 10+ years volvo trying to create a great alternative for germans, and now its just grandpa suv with 2litre and no acceleration in corners. Ford rear suspension was killed with "yellow stick" and every new buyer wants to delete 180lock. Especially funny when polarstar was tunning company for volvo, not a ev joke. Now, polarstar badge means nothing, its just new software that woung brick car after connecting to volvo vida backend written on java. (yeah yeah, no self monitoring for car blocks via offline vida dice cables)
Love this refresh! First time watching the channel... For some reason the internet was buffering and when the video began I heard the yelling... I laughed b/c I knew it was going to be a British reviewer!
I live how they reworded the engine grille. Their old design (silver diagonal logo on a black grille) looks so much like a pirate eye patch😂 now the new design has made that diagonal line less obtrusive. Have been waiting for this for so long. This will be my next car
A huge update not only in design but improvements in ride and cabin quietness as well. And since it not all new there is no 2 year break in period to work out the bugs. It also appears to be more refined in fit and finish. It’s finally worthy of $80,000 for a well equipped B6. And Yes, I want one.
as an s90 owner I'm hoping they do the same treatment because I love my car I just want a little update. I don't like the new stark interior with giant wrap around screens. love it
Classy for sure, however, the drive is boring compared to a BMW. I own a 23 XC 90 and have owned many BMWs in the past. The new Front looks great, however, the sides and back should have been tweaked as well. It’s a cheap redo that doesn’t flow very well.
Agree on other comments with regards to the screen not being as well integrated as before. We have owned a T8 in Canada and it has been a great vehicle overall. For European roads its an even better choice as it gets more respect than envy, which translates in less chances of it being keyed or having its tires slashed. Both of which happened on our Cayenne e-hybrid back there. On thing I will look if they changed enough is the suspension. I wish they moved to a rear wheel drive biased system as the front wheels struggle to keep the power on a wet road and tend to oversteer. Also, even with the air suspension it was a bit jittery on sharper bumps. If that has been sufficiently addressed we will definitely get one for our road trips instead of the Porsche.
I had 3 XC 90 Over the last 6 year I have had 3 this one look great . Had a ex99 on Oder but after 2.5 years been told would I would not get it till May I cancelled it.
I mean I guess it’s a huge vehicle for the UK market but in America the XC90 is midsize compared to a jeep grand wagoner L Escalade LWB, Toyota sequoia and etc…
I wonder if in Sweden an XC90 is still expensive like other markets, I mean out of reach for most people.... I remember going to a business trip in Budapest couple years ago, and a work colleague from Sweden was turning 50 years old, I heard him saying how he was getting an XC60 custom ordered just because he was turning 50, it sounded like a big purchase...
And once again no immediately accessible button to turn off the bloody start/stop technology. Back to disconnecting some wires and ensuring a fault message.
Can’t believe they replaced a tired old infotainment system with a tired old infotainment system. Looks like they glued an iPad to the dash, that’s so lazy and unimaginative on their part.
I have the XC90 T8 complete with buggy infotainment system. Google frequently drops out as does Apple CarPlay. I’m told by the dealer that this 2025 version has the old infotainment system that won’t be replaced till July 2025. If you buy one beware.
Thank you for petrol cars finally! I really dont like electric cars. It feels like a toy. As long as petrol cars are still around i would never buy electric one.
Can't agree with what the host said about the difference in premium level compared with BMW. It is all about everyone's opinion or personal taste. But for level of safety, no other brands would get close to Volvo.
When the dash literally looks like an iPad holder from the side for the screen. They should have intergraded it better. Looks like an afterthought and no effort was put into it. Rest of the interior looks ho-hum, but dislike how they mounted the screen
Nah, Palisade got physical climate buttons and also clean design. But 3.5+hybrid instead of 2 litr+hybrid. When crossing austria to italy on mountain roads all new volvos struggle to go 130+ and old volvos P2 can do it easily with bigger engine and less mass. Esp questioned solution is rear stick which cause handling worse then S80 V70
He mea s coming out of a junction to turn left or right. Here in the UK there is a perception that folks are "selective" on what kind of cars they will be courteous to and let out.
Gorgeous car except for that vertical tablet between air vents. There’s something out of place about it that disturbs the unity and tranquility of the cabin. It’s like discovering a tiny egg shell in an otherwise delicious omelette.
They possess troubles like pricey transmission issues, malfunctions in the electronic system, engine failures, water leaks, and faults even with the gearboxes . Safety is good but very expensive to fix which you will hate.
hmm yes real men with a 2l 4 pot under the bonnet 🙄 ill take the x5 with a 6 cylinder or a v8 under the bonnet I know which engines make for more interesting conversation and it aint the volvos.
So Volvo is forcing us to buy their new EVs but they know the best product was a petrol XC90 so they gave it 3rd lift? Why not drop whole dumb EV idea and just make a brand new petrol XC90?!
Is the XC90 the ultimate SUV?
4기통인데 장난하나? x5는 6기통이라고

No
Yes. ❤
Facelift model...?
Volvos age so well they always look great no matter the era
They've done enough. The only downside is the protruding tablet, but the software is much better now. The previous design aged well and they simply updated it instead of completely redesigning it. Looks alright to me, very relaxing and classy interior.
True, but I feel they should have given the rear the ex90 update as well.
I love the tablet, it's so big and spacious
@@leratoleshaba5625 The tablet definently grew on me. I was not a big fan at first but i wish they would have kept the home button on it!
That grille is the best-looking one I’ve seen in a while.
Perfect facelift. Still the best looking SUV on the outside as well as on the inside. I would take this over the EX90 any day.
After the sea of ugly German designs. This looks fresh
Fresh? Its been the same design since 2015

Yep, you don't get it.
Like it much more than EX90 , XC90 still looks the best love the work that Volvo done ❤❤❤❤.
Another great video keep it up 🤟🤟
Sexiest SUV ever.
Beautiful car. Definitely prettier than most other large SUV's and hugely practical to boot! Well done Volvo.
I like it. It's definitely smooth and sleek and right up my alley!!! Nice Job Volvo!!! ❤
Sold. Ordering the upgrade! ;)

The most beautiful premium suv on sale today
Just got a 2024 plug-in hybrid, and I absolutely love it. The updates for the 25.5 are certainly nice looking, but I don't have FOMO.
Still the best looking big SUV, dig that new grille
It's a shame that such a big, expensive and luxurious Volvo doesn't have at least the famous Volvo five-cylinder.
I live how they reworded the engine grille. Their old design (silver diagonal logo on a black grille) looks so much like a pirate eye patch😂 now the new design has made that diagonal line less obtrusive. Have been waiting for this for so long. This will be my next car
WOW I didn't think they were going to top the current design, this is the most beautiful SUV ever!
getting this ! i am impressed
I’m ready to order one now !!!
Volvos are amazing!! I want a V60 for my next car
Great review, and looking well James 😊
I just hate hate vertical screens in any car no matter how good a car is I can’t pass over that.
I like what bmw and Lexus have done
very elegant! good job Volvo.
That grill is fresh!
Looks great, except iPad. Could have done better there Volvo. Nevertheless, the XC90 still looks much classier than there German competitors
A huge update not only in design but improvements in ride and cabin quietness as well. And since it not all new there is no 2 year break in period to work out the bugs. It also appears to be more refined in fit and finish.

handsome car!
If it aint broke then dont fix it. This is the best ❤
I am getting this
Since becoming aware of their brilliant ads I'm taking a closer look at the Volvo.
I Love It!!
its a lovely looking thing - very good facelift IMO.
as an s90 owner I'm hoping they do the same treatment because I love my car I just want a little update. I don't like the new stark interior with giant wrap around screens. love it

Totally would get it
I liked it and wanted it
The facelift 👍.. looks a little bit better than the old one.. I want change my old X5 to this one! Btw nice review dude!
Can’t wait for digital number plates that shine through the bodywork at the front and rear.

I wish XC60 also get the facelift soon,
Perfect❤
I’m going to get one 😂❤
I don’t know if it is better, it is certainly more beautiful
The front is beautiful.
I had 3 XC 90
Over the last 6 year I have had 3 this one look great . Had a ex99 on Oder but after 2.5 years been told would I would not get it till May I cancelled it.
Sure looks classier
I wish they had done more with the interior , there doesnt seem much need to by this over the prefacelift given the discounts avaialble .
I mean I guess it’s a huge vehicle for the UK market but in America the XC90 is midsize compared to a jeep grand wagoner L Escalade LWB, Toyota sequoia and etc…
The xc90 is the new affordable G wagon. Keep this style forever!

Looks good, just wish there were a 6 cylinder engine offered.
Volvo ALWAYS win.
I would love a 3-seater version of this with more space for the rear passengers. I know they do a 4-seater super luxury, so it must be possible.
Still wish they bring back the dual exhaust chrome tips look so plain from lower rear so if you looking Volvo bring that daul exhaust back
love it!
I prefer the old grill and ground effects
Are they reliable? I don’t know much about Volvos other than are safe.
You should try to see if the rear seats recline.
accoustically impressive and competitive, however the in terms of driving could hardly rival the germans.
This is what happens when the design team is NOT lead by Domagoj Dukec. The car actually looks very good!

If you are a hater, just watch a different channel pls.
@@ger5881bro chill , he is telling his opinion about the car as car guy. He haven’t said anything related to this channel. Come on bro .
lovely looking but would compare with X7 not X5
Me gusta volvo. Wendy

Seriously? The interior looks much better then EX 90
Where is the Diesel variant? Outrageous they stop that easily the best with Diesel torque for such a vehicle.
Volvo retired their diesel engines. I think they produced the last one several months ago and sent it to a museum in Sweden.
@@karacha Pretty stupid idea
Thank you for petrol cars finally! I really dont like electric cars. It feels like a toy. As long as petrol cars are still around i would never buy electric one.
An already nice-looking car got nicer!!🤍
The central tunnel is where the ev battery goes!
Of course better than x5

oh also a question... its still mid range tg71SD ? or volvo finally understood that ZF-9H possible to use for acceleration?
1:21 Volvo are way more comfortable than an Audi. Audi are better are handling the road but I don’t care.
The exterior looks amazing however the interior is just ok!!
what is “a side turning”?

Idk the chrome on the windows….
no show 3rd row legroom ? do better
Just the price is way over the top
At least £26,000 cheaper than equivalent Mercedes or BMW. I've just come out of a Mercedes GLE into the Volvo B6 Ultimate.
They took previous volvo, replaced front grill and screen. Great! I see not many reasons to sell my xc90 2015 ))
the reason is to give your money to volvo because they are...very woke which is trendy isnt it?
Better ride of this one for shure,all front is diferent not only the grile,and interior looks more fresh than old one
It looks just perfect. I would say x5 is like teenage and xc90 is like real men
hmm yes real men with a 2l 4 pot under the bonnet 🙄 ill take the x5 with a 6 cylinder or a v8 under the bonnet I know which engines make for more interesting conversation and it aint the volvos.
Where is the new design?
why do you have the mid hump? its front wheel drive anyways with the engine?
Wait, why is the model you are displaying not on the volvo website? Is the one you are reviewing AI generated?
Front grill top border is missing! In my eyes it’s worse than amazing look of the previous edition. Bonnet is gonna fly open to the windshield
Old one was too big for UK. New one, same. Should be Europe sold only.
Interior didn’t change
Where is the wireless charging for your smart phone ?
Centre console, it's a pad next to gear shift.
How is it that this car still looks like he same and yet we still buy and love it how is Volvo doing this. I call witchcraft 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
So Volvo is forcing us to buy their new EVs but they know the best product was a petrol XC90 so they gave it 3rd lift? Why not drop whole dumb EV idea and just make a brand new petrol XC90?!
Before watching…Yes! Even a lawnmower is better than an X6
