Thanks for the preview. It is clearly a beautiful and well thought out design. For me too much of the UI is on the big iPad on the dashboard, which is why I would never buy one. The towing capacity is a serious plus in my family and would appeal to my wife who tows horses.
This is going to sound ridiculous, but although I really like Volvo’s, I would not consider buying one, ever since they restricted the top-speed to like 112-113 MPH! I know that’s not the normal concern/opinion, just mine.
Worse than Kia EV9 in almost every way. Second row climate control will be kicked and touched all the time by kids - in EV9 it's in the ceiling. Mechanism for opening frunk - just awful. Big Tesla glass roof - no opening it or closing it properly - unlike EV9. Ipad screen another complete Tesla copycat thing - more physical buttons in EV9 which is quicker and better. Had many Volvos, last one was XC60 T8 - never a Volvo again after that nightmare of quality problems. Now have the EV9 and it's great.
"worse" is incredibly subjective. The Kia has terrible software, no vents in the boot, less tech, worse materials. I'd say the KIA is better value as it's a great car for much less money. The Volvo is better though, if cost isn't your primary concern.
really nice car £95,400 currently wow that is crazy price you can buy top of the range Tesla for price comes with better and 50% cheaper battery charging infrastructure
Great video! Would love a follow up review after you've had a drive...and a head to head with the Kia EV9!

Appreciate the comment!
Nice car, but feels too expensive for what you get.
Kia EV9 seems much more attractive.
A head to head would be interesting alright
It's a cracking car for a big family
I agree!
Cheers mate
Welcome!
I just spotted a Seal U out in the wild in Killarney town today 😁.... I forgot to check the registration and if it was right hand drive tho
I'd say RHD and Irish reg. More and more of them on the road!

+€40,000 on the EV9? Not for me
Won't be for everyone Colm but the have sold their 2024 allocation already!
Interesting, I suppose there will be some XC90 diehards who wont be for turning when jumping to electric@@NevoEVReviewIreland
8 seater 😀
Did I say 7?
@@NevoEVReviewIreland Yes mate
Lovely looking car apart from that hideous lidar unit. It looks like a London cab!🤦♂️
So tows less than an EV9 that could be a deal breaker then for some.
Size 22 wheels dont even look big - this must be crazy large in real life
A big car alright
my ELECTRIC CAR is now WORTHLESS EVen the DEALERSHIP doesn’t want it back! EVs are DISPOSABLE JUNK!!
Sorry to hear this. What model is it and where are you based so I can investigate why?
Big frunk
Not bad

I'd like to learn more about what's wrong with the xc60 u had, as I'm considering one

Would you go with the EX90 or EV9?
Tough call. I need to drive the Volvo before I give an answer
How was sitting in the third row?
Not bad but I'm super tall. Made for smaller people. The EV9 was much better in my opinion
In your opinion for people 5’10” or 178 cm? Doable for longer distances?
Lovely. But then I'm a volvo fam. Must check lotto to see if I won. Too big for my needs so ex30 is more for me.
Thanks.
Des
EX30 is a great car too! Looking forward to driving the EX90
Afternoon mate

€120,000 lol
Not cheap in fairness
The entry model starts at 83,5k in Netherlands and 86,3k in Belgium. (That's with 21% taxes included)
It's 120k fully maxed out.
Some SUV. A little on the boxey style for me, pity about the cockpit more XC30 than XC40 style.
Any pricing for the single motor version ? Most owners won’t need AWD.
Unfortunately only the twin motor prices released to date
