XC90 T8 is not a V8. It is a plug-in hybrid. Volvo uses a 4-cylinder 320-hp turbocharged petrol engine in tandem with an electric motor to give you a total output of 407 hp, 0-100 km/h time of around 5 and a half seconds, and claimed average fuel consumption of just above 2 litres.
Volvo XC90 T8 hybrid SUV is a 7-seater, which can take you and your family on vacation, it will do some light off-roading without you worrying about the undercarriage, from the lights it can leave most other cars behind. And all this using between 7 and 8 litres per 100 km. And thanks to the Pilot Assist feature it can drive in semi-autonomous mode.

I've had the T8 model for about 4 months, and driven ~2,500 miles. We don't use the car to commute, but it's our only car. I downloaded my trip data to share my experience. About 80% of our journeys are done fully on Electric power. It's quick enough off the line for normal traffic, and it's smooth as silk. Yes, I'd like more range, 30 miles would be perfect in my opinion, but I'm surprised how many trips we've managed to complete on electric. Then this weekend we jumped in the car, went on a 1,000 mile road trip - although it would be nice to top up the batteries, you don't need too - that's the beauty of plug-in hybrids. Over the 2,500 miles we have driven (before the road trip) we've averaged 40 MPG. That's not going to save the planet, or justify the $ premium, but it's the best MPG you'll find for a 7 seater premium SUV. So, why get the T8 over the T6? It's certainly not a financial justification, but it feels great to run some errands without using any gas, and the car feels so smooth in pure mode. Also - when you need it, there aren't many cars that can beat you off the line.
Any thoughts on your T8 in the long run?
What is the maximum range of the car starting with full batteries and gas?
@@bestburgerberlin6954 about 400 miles. Obviously varies a lot depending on speed and how the car is loaded.
@@joshseal2000Thanks, mate!
Ever since the XC90's release, people reviewing it were always impressed by the interior quality. Yeah... Money, money, money.
I'm glad I have a source of information that is unbiased.
As I am a fan of cars, i watch all the famous channels of car reviews and I can tell you, I will subscribe you for sure because i was searching for a person who can find all the annoying small things in the car, and this video just proves that you are good at it ;)
Just ordered the Inscription Pro T8and cannot wait to take delivery
What a beautiful vehicle.
Thank you very much for the review. very usefull
Nice review. I'd go for the V90 which is on my radar to test drive. (By the way. You need a polarizer for your camera kit.)
Not sure about the SUV but love the review.
Curious about video equipment and quad copter used in your videos
2 Lumix GH3s, DJI Phantom2V+, GoPro4.
Hi Marek, it looks to me like there's a high chance of the back/cargo area retaking and squeaking- something that would drive me crazy. What do you think?
If you compare it with a german audi q7 you cannot expect the same quality in plastics. The price of a q7 etron fully equiped like this one is at least 40k to 50 000 euro more. The difference has to be somewhere. Did like the review tho. Nice car
Marek, you always seem to find all of the little mistakes or cut corners. Good job! Did you try to fix that vent you beat up?
Yeah, it's a piece of cheap plastic you stick in a hole in the floor. As I said, cover it with carpet, and I would never have noticed.
I was thinking maybe you would do a review of the V90. I think it looks awesome.
kevin n I will get a test S90 in autumn. I asked for V90, but they probably won't give it to me this year.
this is sick...
A great looking car, IMO. I like all the electronic assistants and features, but very skeptical about hybrid. Some engineers say it is a dead end branch in a cars future. Also it would be fair to compare diesel V6 Volvo with an Audi. I also love my V6 TDI sound, so this Prius genes are not the good thing in such a nice car.
Volvo doesn't make 6 cylinder engines any longer. It's all 4 cylinder, 2 litre diesel/petrol.
Is hybrid dead? I don't know. I would rather expert PHEVs to be gradually replaced by EVs with range extenders, which is a different form of hybrid.
Nice new watch, is that an Omega?
+Rory McLoughlin not new, but yes, it's a seamaster :-)
Nice review :)
This sound from central console is bad :) its like on my 6 year old Citroen :) haha but this CItroen cost less 10x :)
The R design is hot. I wish I would have chose that. But I'm scared of a dark colored car in southern california.
I really like this car, although it have a wrong price tag :) But I was surprised of some of those cheap plasticky parts. At the presentation it was all tip-top... meh even the Sweds have succumbed to cheapness. Thanks for the review.
This car is not cheap inside, do not listen to him. I have a t6 r design and the plastic is not cheap, i dont know about the euro spec model tho, mines us spec
Volvo does not usually have shitty cheap plastic bits, allmost like all cars they do have small amounts of plastic but its nothing that feels cheap or bad really.
If you plug a hybrid in everytime you come home after a short trip and the battery is not empty do you kill the battery then? And can you leave it plugged in all the time or do you need to remove the cable when fully charged? Its because I don't need a car everyday, so will it break down after some time if I leave it in the socket for some time?
It shouldn't affect batter life. You can also set times, when you want the car to charge, so you can leave it plugged in at night, but charging will start for example early in the morning. You can also use an app to set pre-heating/cooling, while the car is plugged in, so it doesn't use as much battery for climate control after you start driving.
Thank you for the quick response

Adaptive speed control? My RAV4 has road sign recognition, but it cannot decipher
"20mph when red lights flash" and how would you like 113mph down a motorway when it read "max speed 113kph" off the back of a lorry. Self driving cars? Not in my life time.
I think the camera reads only signs on the side of the road, and they have to be certain size, so unless someone stands by the road holding up a sign, you should be fine :)
What is the maximum range of the car starting with full batteries and gas?
What did I say in the review? Around 30 km electric range, 8 L/100 km, 50 L tank.
@@MarekDrivesENGThank you for your answer. I was hoping for a realistic number out from your experience. Full tank filling till (more or less) the last drop with mixed driving from city to highway.
What I said in the video were real life numbers. You're looking at 500-600 km range.
@@MarekDrivesENG Thank you so much!
whats the price of the shown model? must be more than 100k euro

+Marek Drives oh, terribly sorry, got caught in squeeking interior, didn't notice what you said. Thanks :D
To me (after watching many videos with that topic) autonomous driving is very dangerous! Why? Because: 1.) Many motor jounalists and car company managers exaggerate a bit the description what the systems are able to, because it sounds negative when they would say "in this... and this... and this... situation the system is really incompetent and in all this situations it is very important, that you don't use it then". This details are written in some detailed descriptions and the dealer will say it at one point somewhen, but all the others that commend the new cars and systems talk more generally about it "oh, it worked mostly very well ... and in the future we have completely autonomously driving cars" - and these words sink in the minds of many drivers and some will not recognise early enough when the limits of the today's systems will occur. 2.) If I can talk about the more capable systems that already steer autonomously: the systems have one very big mistake: Yes, they recognise if they do not understand the situation and give an alarm beep and you have to drive yourself then and yes, if the road marking and so on is good, it recognise everything well and drives well. But what they absolutely aren't capable of is (what we human beings can so much better) to perceive A LOOMING/UNCLEARLY COMMING problem and react before it's really severe. Human beings have so many unconscious experiences for unexpected situations that we often prepare for difficult situations, breaking or steering a bit... BUT THE PROGRAMMER OF THESE SYSTEMS DIDN'T DO SOMETHING REALLY IMPORTANT: let the car react to things in a very big distance, that means: if the system detects very little problems that occurs in a distance and that COULD become a problem THAT THEN ALREADY the system would react with slightly reducing speed and warning already the driver (but this would cause too many warnings and wouldn't be attracitve to sell). So the autonomous pilots know only yes or no, they just "say" drive yourself, "I" don't understand the street WHEN THE PROBLEM IS ALREADY VERY CLOSE, there is no early advanced / light warning or light reducing of the speed... Have seen a test drive with a tesla where the car wasn't even able to recognise the direction of the street when sometimes the road marking on the right side ended but there was then instead of the road marking a very good visible and long crash barrier that lined the street, but the Tesla car lost the trace. So the systems are far, far away from autonomous driving where you could relax... but the drivers already relax and will not be able to switch back with their mind and make good decisions when there is a sudden bigger problem.
Sonnenschein Sommer , it is not a fully autonomous car. You need to still pay attention on the road. However, it help you to drive in the centre of the road and leave your feet in a nature position in the most of time driving in freeways. I have used it for more than 30K KM and it works just fine. I never consider it as a level 4 autonomous car. It is called PA, pilot assist.
as long as my license allows then no autonomous driving until i am so old that my doctor says so.
test its parking and visibility when reversing. 2ltr whats that in mpg.
It's got a 360 camera. Works excellent.
L/100km->MPG bfy.tw/6lJG
how many ltr can i put in?
Radu Pasparuga I said it in the review, didn't I.
Marek Drives oh,i didn't pay attention
conorwaswrong apparently its 141mpg
Marek what engine does it use , is it still a ford unit or volvo makes this one
+kosar mustafa it's Volvo's own. They now make only 4 cylinder diesel and petrol engines, all 2 litre, varying power output.
+Marek Drives thank very much , i thought the diesel engines are the Peugeot/psa engines .
Nice family car but you'd need the income of at least 10 average families to be able to afford it.
Fire hazard potential.. use with caution
Front of the car is Really Nice but i din like the back of the car,
Ja xc90 är bra men har en liten motor
Freeway the boss hej...
Mercedes GLS is a better choice. This one too expensive considering the range and the lame four cylinder engine.
GLS is a bigger car I think. And more expensive, albeit it is a 7-seater. XC90 is more like GLE 500e.
$68,100 is too much
seems the Swedish made this Volvo copying the French...and failed just like the French did.
In what respect?
squeaking central console...same is in your video with the Renault Kadjar I believe? Kadjar is 30.000 (although also unacceptable to squeak) and this Volvo is three times more expensive. Nowhere to store the boot cover, last row seatbelts attachments you mentioned in the video? seems really last minute solutions to me. pay 60-80.000 eur for a car that has squeaky cheap plastics in the centre console? no thanks :D
Vlatko.R Kadjar squeaked when you looked at is ;)
+Vlatko.R the interior of this car is great, i have the same car and i can tell you, its not like this. Also the last row seat belt attatchment is only for when you use the cargo cover. the car doesnt have to be this expensive unless you want the plug in hybrid. Drive one for yourslef and see
