    I’m so happy they still believe in the classic XC90. It’s such a good vehicle. I think they decided to not give this car a bigger battery as it could have made the EX90 less popular, because some people maybe wouldn’t buy an EV if there’s a 100+ km EV range PHEV.

      Not that they believe but calculations made it facts that EVs aren't taking over any time soon if we're honest. Also, bigger battery would require either new battery technology or platform redesign. Hopefully they made electric motor more up to date as well as software changes for better.

    What's missing is a Diesel… I don't need a car this size to drive in the city (I have a tram station within a 30 second walk, which also omits the need to find parking spots), but for long distance, high speed Autobahn driving a Diesel is still way more efficient; I drove the old T8 on a regular 650km round trip I drive for work, and it got about 14.7l/100km whilst the Range Rover Sport D350 gives me 7.7l on the same route with the same driving style.

    Basically the same car that released back in 2015. Toyota 4Runner of Europe. Even the powertrains didn't change. Hybrid battery is way behind competition. Also look at that funny interior.

    Admittedly the most important thing for me was a hopefuly larger battery. My wife has the 2022.5 18.8kwh, which actualy gives out a real world range of a bit over 50km / 30mls. When the competition inches closer to double that, we would have hoped for at least a 25% boost in electric range. Seems we will not be upgrading

    At first I was tempted by the EX 90s styling although not looking for an electric car. But this redesigned XC 90 is simply irresistible inside and out. Not to mention the upgrades to the suspension and the laminated windows and added insulation for a quieter cabin. I imagine the price for a well equipped B6 will be in the low $80,000 range which is reasonable considering what you get. In comparison the existing 2025 models now in production will be sold off at bargain basement prices. But I’ll wait for the new one.
    By the way, I’ve always liked your reviews. Keep up the good work and your little squeeze is a pleasant addition.

      I was dead against the digital screens thing and almost cancelled my BMW when they changed the infotainment to iDrive 8 while I was waiting for it to be built. The idea of a fully digital car display seemed like a bad idea. In reality it works fantastic as the vast majority of everyday functions can easily be controlled by voice alone. It works first time, every time, which means you no longer need to take your eyes off the road or hands off the wheel like you would, even with physical buttons. Of course the Volvo system may or may not be as good as iDrive 8 though.

  • @jeromekraut8652
    @jeromekraut8652 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Just a small correction.
    The pure electric mode can take you easily up to 65km without paying any attention to how you drive.
    If done properly you can even achieve up to 75-80km in perfect conditions. So it's daily usable for most people in pure electric mode. It's just a shame that contrary to the xc60 it can't start in pure electric mode. So you have to vhange it every time you start it which is a hassle and doesn't seem better after the facelift since I saw that you still need 3 presses to get to the drive menu
