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.

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.)

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?

Not sure about the SUV but love the review. Curious about video equipment and quad copter used in your videos

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?

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.

Nice review :) This sound from central console is bad :) its like on my 6 year old Citroen :) haha but this CItroen cost less 10x :)

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?

Nice new watch, is that an Omega?

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.

The R design is hot. I wish I would have chose that. But I'm scared of a dark colored car in southern california.

whats the price of the shown model? must be more than 100k euro

marek pozdro angielski mistrz przynosisz dume polsce

test its parking and visibility when reversing. 2ltr whats that in mpg.

What is the maximum range of the car starting with full batteries and gas?

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.

Fire hazard potential.. use with caution

Marek what engine does it use , is it still a ford unit or volvo makes this one

as long as my license allows then no autonomous driving until i am so old that my doctor says so.

Ja xc90 är bra men har en liten motor

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.

Nice family car but you'd need the income of at least 10 average families to be able to afford it.

Front of the car is Really Nice but i din like the back of the car,

$68,100 is too much

Mercedes GLS is a better choice. This one too expensive considering the range and the lame four cylinder engine.

seems the Swedish made this Volvo copying the French...and failed just like the French did.
