I bought a B5 diesel inscription last September, absolutely love the car . On a motorway run doing 65mph I get 47mpg , the car cost me £55k with lots of extras,that’s €61k. The car is in my opinion the perfect cursing car. The one thing that’s lacking in the car is USB ports, for a 7 seat car there’s only 2 usb & they’re in the front .
watching it after just got my fully loaded 2020 T6 inscription!! it's such such a great car with ageless designs both inside and out!! I was shocked at how well the auto pilot works with adaptive control and lane keeping assist, along with the bowers speakers, makes the drive on highway such a pleasant journey.
I just wanted to say a huge thank you for making this video, it’s what made me finally pull the trigger on buying an XC90. I’ve probably watched 50+ videos on the XC90 but for some reason, yours is the one I’ve watched about 10 times. You put together a really informative overview that, to my mind, captures everything I need to know about this car from the point of view of a *buyer* not just a car reviewer. You had some great camera angles I hadn’t seen before and your review of the boot was exactly what every other reviewer had failed to actually do... get in the boot!! I’ve brought essentially the exact model you’ve reviewed (White, R Design) but as a T8 hybrid. It arrives in a few day. I feel slightly reticent about buying such an expensive car at what is probably going to the last year of its life cycle but I can’t find anything that I prefer or suits my needs better. Thank you very much!
3 years on and 64k later my 2017 T8 Inscription is still going strong. I came to this review to see if anything has been updated. Great 4X4 and plenty of power on tap. I purchased the Phev in compliance with Londons low emissions 👍 from me, fantastic review 👏
I’m having a new XC90 T8 R Design MY21 delivered at the end of this month. I take onboard about the firm ride of a R Design but for me personally, the external bold styling was also considered and that’s what won me over. I haven’t got the air suspension so I suppose I will have to live with it 🙏
Thanks for this video! The best review on this car out there bar none. You went down into the details that are actually important to a real person who'd buy this. Of course an Irish man made it! I'm thinking of picking up one of these before moving back to Ireland in a few months as I'll probably get more value with the VRT exception I should have.
Really great review! Did the one in the video have the air suspension? Does the R Design supposedly trump the Inscription and all other models in the ranking?
Live how you review cars Nobby, great job! Tell me this. Will 3 kids car seats go across the middle row, you could see them in the clip but you didn’t get into the detail on them.
Thanks! You’ll get a seat like a booster in the middle (basically a normal sized adult could fit in that middle seat so anything that sort of size in a child seat will be ok. You can also fit two more 3-12 year type child seats in the final row.
03:36 "... and it's got one of the best reverse cameras I have ever seen in the cars in my life". This is probably a joke. Here really Volvo should do their homework (or ask VW for support?). The camera has poor angles, poor sensitivity, and gets dirty quickly.

enjoy the new car smell!

Very kind comments, thank you. Forget about the life cycle and just enjoy it for what it is - a superb vehicle!
@@NobbyOnCars thank you buddy, that’s the decision I came to, in no small amount thanks to you 👍🏼

Thanks a lot. Not surprised to hear yours has done the job, they’re a great all rounder.
Great review. Got the B5D Momentum Pro last month. 49.5mpg on a long run 50-65mph. 32mpg around town. Love the pilot assist.
Its a great car, love mine. Thunder grey. looks awesome and bowers is epic. Best family-car ever made.
I agree best SUV ♥

You won’t go wrong with that! 😎
Great stuff, mate !
Great review
Definitely my favourite choice for 2021 😊

Handy to have that VRT burden removed for sure. Cheers for watching
Brilliant and entertaining review! Well done! Got yourself a new subscriber!
A great review. The new Volvo XC90 seems to be a very good car but the price is high compared to other cars of similar size.
It’s priced similar to the others in the same premium class such as BMW X5 and Mercedes GLE and Audi Q7. All good cars but pricey.
volvo for life
Great review Nobby, this is the one. Inscription time!
Cheers Liam!
Great work Nobby. Thanks!
XC90 is a beast
First review of this car I've found that even mentions Android connectivity.
Love Volvos 😍
“It’s a full sized double bed...” lol 😂 Yes, tested and tried. If you are between 6’ -6’5 👍🏼😅 if you and your husband happen to get any ideas....
Really great review!
Did the one in the video have the air suspension?
Does the R Design supposedly trump the Inscription and all other models in the ranking?
Slightly different specs but both are the upper end of what they offer. The one in the vid didn’t have air suspension. Thanks for watching!
All the goodies, but is it better than my Astra 07?
yes !
If money is not a problem which is better this or the Land Rover Range Rover SV Autobiography?
Landrover I think
@@NobbyOnCars Thank you!
Great review, but which is better the XC90 or the discovery? We just can't decide which to get...
This!
Have they changed the speed camera warning to an audible advice rather than just the camera picture coming up on the speedo display ?
Just image from what I could tell

Can’t say I agree from my time with the car but thanks for the comment / watching 👍🏻
Mate that’s not the boot that’s u putting all the back seats down
still shows you how big it is for context though.
You can do that with most Jeep’s
