I purchased a 2024 XC90 Recharge Ultimate on 12/08/2023 and drove 1600 miles from my home in Vermont to my home in Florida. The ride was fantastic and very efficient. I did not have to worry about range anxiety. The technology in this car is amazing. The adaptive cruse control coupled with pilot assist, lane departure guidance and forward looking radar made the trip very comfortable, quiet and safe.
It would be nice if only the noise here and there could be resolved.
New XC90, a home in Vermont, a home in Florida..must be nice haha
I would hardly call 27mpg “very efficient”
You buy it on the day of my birthday Dec 08. 😂😂
Volvos are underrated not many people talk about them and safest cars on the road since that’s what they’re known for
Many talk about Volvo that I know of
They are very nice cars! People think they are boring but they are pretty sharp!
Ahahhaahhaha sure. 😂 the safest in the world
@@drkrkt4927 are you blind? I said safest cars on the road. Learn to read dumbass
The reason no one talks about em because they are manufactured in China
This is my first Volvo and I'm super impressed so far. After my first 400 miles of city driving I don't think that I've used even one gallon of gas. I test drove the Audi Q5 plug-in hybrid and then went across the street to a Volvo dealership and drove the XC90. Although the Audi is a great car the XC90 easily won the day and I never looked back at the Audi. When it comes to luxury high performance hybrid SUVs the Volvo XC90 Recharge is an unbeatable value.
Than you for sharing that great ownership input!
I currently own an XC90 Inscription (not hybrid) and its the best car I have ever owned (our family has owned 9 Volvo's over the last 20 years and still have 3 in the garage) The XC90 Recharge will definitely be my next purchase - this hybrid is the best of both worlds and its classic understated luxury results in a very desirable brand!
How is reliability in long term?
I love my Volvo. But you skipped the cargo section on your video! 😨 lol Merry Christmas, Joe and Lori!
I have been driving XC90s for over a decade. I raised 3 kids in these cars and you cant beat them for a family. They make long road trips a dream. Im about to buy my 4th and am really looking forward to getting the hybrid.
Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video 👍 merry Christmas to you guys
What's up Raiti! Happy Holidays and can't wait for top 10 and Blooper Reel!
I hope they redesign and make the third row a little roomier.
My first car was a Volvo 760 Turbo - hard to beat a rear wheel drive for fun when you have that turbo engine and a 5-speed on the floor 👍👍
Merry Christmas Joe 🎅🎅🎅 Keep up the awesome job!!
I've been waiting for another Volvo review. Thanks!
Thanks for the video! Driving an Audi Q7 TDI, best suv we’ve ever had. Unfortunately no more diesel models available so looking into other things now. Definitely will visit a Volvo dealership soon to check out the XC 90
We drove XC90 across from Switzerland to Sweden, super comfy all the way+ massage chairs is paradise ❤ love it!!
Powerful and efficient, very easy to drive, the seats are super comfy and the desing looks really good. I highly recommend thes XC90.
This is a amazing car I love this merry Christmas Joe and ur family
Amazing review Joe.
Honestly at this point raiti’s rides is what I watch to chill when I take a break from studying
Some strange ommisions I don't get: they got rid of the scrolling wheel behind the start/stop switch to change drive modes, no arm rests in the second row for captains chairs, and no way to put the third row back up without doing it from the second row. Other than those, I've always enjoyed this generation XC90 especially for the Bowers and Wilkins.
Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 To you and Lori! 😊❤️ I want to start a club: “Just say no to the exposed rear wiper!” I couldn’t agree more! The rear wiper always needs to be tucked away. 👍👍😊 Thank you for all of your excellent reviews!
Happy New Year 2024!
Only if there's a digital rear view mirror. When the wiper comes top down, the lower corners of the window doesn't get cleaned. This leaves dirt and water spots in the corners making it much more difficult to see the road when looking in the mirror.
@@jeffs6090 True! True! Safety first! 👍😊
my club ' just say no to 3rd row seats . as every suv cross over , mid size /full size on the planet has to have a 3rd row
@@youtubecarspottersguide1 HaHa!!! Sooo true!! 😊😂
Great SUV...Happy Holy Dayz To U & Lori...lol...Shout Out Steven.
I like what Volvo is doing. I don't know why people in the car business don't use the "recharge" or "rechargeable" branding more often.
because electric sucks; isn't as reliable and just as bad environment so there isnt really a point in it. a v8 would be better overall option. sure bad gas millage but if you can afford an xc90 to begin with then that shouldnt be an issue for the owner.
Because anything and everything that translates into efficiency, or client’s satisfaction, is communist.
Hi Joe, why did they put a functional vent on one side and not the other? Have u seen that before?
I really like what Volvo does, especially with the SUV lineup. I remember being a kid and learning that they made Vehicles other than Semi Trucks haha.
Is the 2l still coming with timing belts ?
I got one 2 days back 2024 model black plus bright variant
I was having a bad day but uncle Raiti sure knows how to brighten it up
Yes of course Joe & I'm planning on buy one.
I live in Dubai and during the summer it's very hot.
Please let me know how the air conditioning system and the roof that let's in all that light and heat.
Volvos are so underrated. I just purchased this a few weeks ago and love it l!
Congrats on yours Amber! I think you are so right!
So True! They are so comfy! 😊
Merry Christmas Raiti 🔥❤️
Thank you Joe & Lori
This man never stops working. He is posting on Christmas day. I am one of the few Physcians working today in the ER to keep all the patients happy and healthy.
Gorgeous design especially in that colour 🔥
Mid chanel inside is not anymore for RWD shaft but they used it for battery. RWD is directly given by electric motors. That’s why they didn’t lose space in the trunk.
Frankly,I'm surprised that you didn't include the 2023 Aviator Grand Touring and Black Label Grand Touring in the comparison. While the safety tech may not be on par with Volvo's, they've got that twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 engine and a 13.6-kWh lithium-ion battery with a combined 494 horsepower and 630 pound-feet of torque in their favor. Not to mention that velvety smooth-shifting automatic and all-wheel drive.
Run flat low profile tires?
My main man joe the best of the best yessir 🙌🏾 👌🏾 💯
Regular hybrids are the best of both worlds.
Until you have to buy a new battery! 😢
Volvo has been able to really push out some astounding product. All though the last few years have been rough transitioning from ice to ev. When Geely bought Volvo and said, go back to Sweden, go crazy, spend billions. Make a great car so we can finally be apart of the game. They did and it saved them from Saabs fate.
"Volvo has been able to really push out some astounding product." - I want to add some clarification to your story. Geely bought Volvo Cars from Ford... After that, Geely developed a new SPA platform on which they built this XC90. Therefore, it is not Volvo that needs to be thanked, but Geely for preserving the brand and being able to create a wonderful SUV.
This screen ui is like BlackBerry Os.. I this they combined with BlackBerry 😃
Love the interior.
I just rented one of these in the UK, but it was a diesel. Great power, averaging 36 mpg with a 600 mile range. Far superior to this plug-in hybrid imo.
If you dont care about the acceleration, the diesel is a far better option than even a regular hybrid . . unfortunately this is no longer being offered anywhere by volvo.
Man I'm tryna see that 2024 Lincoln Nautilus in action. Forget all these other cars
This differs from the original XC90 design. Now, it looks more like a crossover station wagon.
Lori rocks! 👍😺
You are spot on with the horn button/airbag on the steering wheel. Man! It needs to be replaced with something more elegant… Hey Volvo pls redesign the wheel for the mankind.
Zuerts habe ich Volvo XC90-T8 2017 modell bis kürzlich gafahren. Ab September dieses Jahr habe ich meinen neuen XC90-T8 modell 2024, ich kann es nur Empfehlen. Ein wunderschönes Auto zum Fahren, mit sehr guten Qualitäten.
Nice looking car.
That hump in the middle of the second row isn't for the driveshaft. Gas engine has no connection to the rear wheels. That hump is for the battery.
The front badge looks weird, however, the car looks very nice and a bit expensive. The dashboard screen is too small.
Could you do a review of the NEW base V6 Porsche Cayenne?
Happy holidays
Although a little bit outdated compared to the new ex90! this design has aged very well! which is hard to do in the car industry!
1 milion + Bravoooo 💪
Because volvo has not update their light design since 2016 model year, the reverse lights are actually NOT LED, sadly. This makes the visibility pretty bad when it's dark. Also, for some reason, the only change they made to their lights was that they removed one of the rear fog lights. There used to be 2 and now there are 1. IMO, this wasn't a silly choice, im guessing they saved someone money on the LED bulb and just removed it. Could have just turned the reverse lights to LED instead.
Yes I wanted you to make this video
I've been waiting for another Volvo review
I guess we’re not going to see the cargo area?
Thanks for showing the cargo area lol
Just went for my last Xc90 recharge ultimate and very disappointed that they are not bringing the T8 in their all new design EX90 for next year, we are not ready for family EV’s due to poor charging infrastructure…. Shame but absolutely loving my new 2023 Xc90 even though it’s not really changed much since the launch in 2015
Very good points,
What a nice beast VOLVO❤
💪🧐🎸 Merry Christmas 🎄🎁⛄
You confuse Sweden and Norway when it comes to fish.
That body style is going on 10 years. Have they not found anyone else to copy yet
I was waiting to hear what a Swedish Twinkie consists of 👂🙃
I think the cargo area was skipped
I love this SUV, but just knowing that I can get a 2022 with less than 5k miles which is the exact same car for $60k says DON'T BUY A NEW ONE.....
So true new cars aren't worth it
It looks smaller next to you lol how tall are you?
This is mine ❤
You didn’t add the cargo space part of the video
Sorry about that!
Taking a break in the Suburban Chicago Metro ILLINOIS area on this 57 DEGREE ( I AM LOVING IT!!) CHRISTMAS DAY guys to check out TH-cam. A MERYY CHRISTMAS JOE AND LORI ( Lori thanks for all you do You are a technical mistress and a dare doll. THIS IS A TREMENDOUS VEHICLE! Thanks for bringing it to us. Sharing this on my blog and all other sites.. GLAD O DO SO. See you guys on another ride( Really miss KIM my niece Like a sister to me Our dear departed loved one today...........
I have to Zonk your Zonk. There is NOTHING wrong the the rear wiper where it's at. And for that matter, what car has it mounted at the top? I don't think I've seen that on a car since a 70's car. If you put it up there, you have to have a place for the motor, which you obviously didn't think of that.
will be in the shop getting the heat pump replaced within 6 months
You think so?
happened to me. now watching Raitisrides to prevent making another car buying mistake@@RaitisRides
The lack of physical buttons for commonly used controls is a disappointment, as is the access to the EV/hybrid drive modes through menus. Also, the exterior color choices are extremely limited and mostly a letdown.
The Google operating system uses plain language commands for climate control so you really don't need to fuss with the menus. I agree on drive mode and color selection though
"Let's get into the cargo area....." Doesn't show cargo area
Hate the wheels but as a Polestar owner I’m drawn to the Volvo dna.
Great job again! Although I think its overrated and over priced. Oh and I don't need the electric shaver on the dashboard.
There is no drive shaft for the 4-wheel drive. It’s the battery
$87k😮
I remember , years ago ; Volvo came up with the slogan :
" after years of building cages , we are about to let the animal out ".
Where is the Volvo XC90 that is sold in the USA produced?
Just seen the 2024 Infiniti QX60 review. And thats 67k compared to this 87k. And honestly the Infiniti looked a step up luxury than this Volvo. Now for 455 horse and 525 torque and great mileage...well i guess cough up that extra 20k lol
According to experts, this is the safest car in the world
Mein Gott . Machen sie doch einmal eine weihnachtliche Neujahrspause .😘
🙏🙏💯
Need to take the new mini Cooper 2024
The computer needs to be modernized. 2024 we should be expecting larger screen and more Smart Control. Where’s auto pilot?
The high hump in the car I don’t really like because if someone is sitting in the middle it will be very uncomfortable for them
You better believe it!
2024 Volvo XC90 T8 Recharge eAWD Inscription!
We have xc60 recharge super quick and great balance. Pass on Mercedes GLC E, had many problems. Volvo superior to Mercedes. We will upgrade to XC90 Recharge a no brained decision
87k before taxes?
Is Hyundai the only suv maker offering massaging seats?
Are any other luxury SUV manufacturers offering them at all???😮
The lounge package includes massaging seats 😉
Cost is the biggest issue with getting the average consumer to get cars like these. ICE cars do cost a lot but its less than the hybrids, PHEV and EV's that's the real problems especially with EV's plus the high insurance rates.
That is a very good point!
I wouldn’t even
Mention Tesla in the same sentence as Volvo 😂. Like comparing faeces to diamonds 😂
Efficiency doesn’t matter in a luxury car
But this xc90 is still one of the best in the segment
It does matter to some people who want it. They’re expensive as it is to save on fuel economy is a plus best of both worlds. If people don’t want to jump on the ev bandwagon a plug in hybrid is next in line
Right on @@mattmekhaeil
@@mattmekhaeil if you want a hybrid you don’t have to buy a luxury car you know.
If you can afford an expensive car you can afford the low fuel economy. Example: if you can afford a hellcat or trackhawk you can afford the truly atrocious mpg. If you can’t afford the low fuel economy then you can’t afford the car. Plain and simple
I just hate Volvo infotainment screen..
It looks worse😂😂😂
VIP
Nice-looking Volvo be better without the EV s***
I'd much prefer the EX90.
Me too but with the plug-in hybrid only EX90 will be a huge failure and sink like a stone in value like all EV’s
Infotainment looks so dated for a vehicle that is nearly 90k.
