The Volvo XC90 is a dream SUV, and it comes with a luxury price tag. While a used one may be attractive, there is a lot to consider before buying one. This is a very complex vehicle with over 20 variations! And with complex cars comes complex maintenance... Subscribe Here! youtube.com/@ReDriven?sub_confirmation=1

The Volvo XC90, that fancy luxury SUV, has got car enthusiasts buzzing with excitement. But hold on to your wallets, folks, because it also flaunts a luxury price tag that might make you do a double-take. So, you might be asking yourself, "Is the Volvo XC90 a good car?" Well, let's dive into it. Sure, a used one might tickle your fancy, but before you jump in headfirst, here's the lowdown: This beast has over 20 different versions, and there's even a Hybrid model thrown into the mix for those eco-conscious road trippers. But, brace yourself, with complex cars come complex maintenance. So, before you take the plunge, take a moment to consider not just your style and dreams but also your wallet and the long-term TLC this beauty will need. It's a luxury ride, after all!

At ReDriven, we’ll be taking you through the pros and cons of a huge range of used cars to see how well they’re going now that they’re a few years old, have thousands of kilometres on the clock, and are coming toward the end of their warranty, or maybe don’t have one at all.
Plus, thanks to our resident mechanic, Jim, you’ll find out what commonly goes wrong with them and what might need to be fixed.
Most importantly, we want to make ReDriven a voice for the most in-the-know used car experts there are...you guys.. See, you’re the ones that actually buy, live with, love and sometimes unfortunately hate the cars we’ll be reviewing.
So we want to hear your thoughts. Hit us up in the comments, or on Instagram and Facebook.
We’d love nothing more than for you to give us as much feedback as possible, so we can make this channel the best it can be.

Adam likes Volvos and therefore is a man of culture! Amazingly stylish and comfortable seems to be the theme for Volvos. I've had an NA 850 and Mk1 S40 years ago, and they were lovely but had a list of issues (electricals, engine). That said, though, these newer cars are on another level of hell. I may say this as a Volvo fan, but if they made more reliable cars, they'd be the best carmaker out there.

Love this car, but I had to make sure I sell it before the warranty runs out. For the 54 months I had it, it had the following replaced under warranty: 1. Steering wheel electronic 2. Oxygen sensor 3. Engine mount 4. Seat heater 5. Rear cup holder And the following considered consumables: 1. One set of front brake pads and discs 2. Two sets of rear brake pads and discs 3. Both batteries I might also add that the stop start never worked well for me which forces me to stop quite abruptly so the engine doesn’t come back to life again. The suspension roughness mentioned in this video is also accurate. But both of these issues appear to have been rectified in later revision when I drove a MY19 loaner with larger wheels.

I've just bought a 2017 D5 R-Design with Polestar myself for just over $50k from a dealership. 3 months in & extremely happy. The design has held up so well & given this will be the last XC90 generation it'll hold its value really well too I would bet. Its replacement, the EX90 doesn't arrive here until end of 2024 & that will likely be pushing $160k. Mine has almost every optional extra & it barely looks out of place compared to modern standards. There's not really anything it's missing both in creature comforts or safety tech. The B&W sound system is sublime FYI - make sure this was added if you're in the market for one. It's only got 20" wheels which to me look absolutely fine & I think we've gained some ride improvements because of that (we have the air suspension also). The only slight negative for me is that the engine noise of the D5 is noticeable as it's getting going if you push it between 0-40kmh. Other than that it's a completely serene highway cruiser, which around here is perfect for us. Torque band is perfect for this car & the polestar tuning really makes a difference. The other thing is the interior quality. I've driven this compared to the newer Volvos and can honestly say that the quality now, isn't what it used to be pre-2020. But test that out for yourself, I think you'll be surprised. It still feels like pretty much a new car, but it's also clearly been well looked after by its single previous owner. I think this is also key with these cars 2nd hand. Find a great example, that's been well looked after with regular services & your risk to reward ratio drastically improves. We also bought a 5 year Presidian warranty for it as the reviews we're really good so this give us some peace of mind - it's meant to replicate the factory warranty but I guess we'll cross that bridge if/when we get to it. All-in all, can see myself with this one for a long time.

@jamesroscoe7555 9 күн бұрын

I'm pretty sure 2022 drops the supercharger so a slightly less complex drivetrain. One thing to consider is that the most complaints tend to come from early model year cars (ie 2016/17 in this case). This is generally true for any car. 2022 and onward is probably better, plus they extended the battery range at some point in there...

The pre ford volvos where absolutely rock solid build and reliability. Some of the ford variety had some reliebility issues. But the new chinese Geely models aren't built to the same 25 year life cycle that the swedes try to achieve. If you get 20 years you'd be very lucky. God I miss my volvo seats.

excellent video as per always! I've got my18 xc60 d5 and is very similar to the 90, I did awful lot of research before buying. I have been fortunate to buy a good one according to 2 mechanic's with currently 96k. no issues so far. confirm the brakes are strange at times, like you said - they also are notorious for eating rotors and pads, like 40-60k km the air suspension is great and gets a 8/10, the voice controls is woeful use your fone. couple of squeeks coming from the dash is about it really. biggest concern is the manufacture of these cars Belgium vs china, lots of QA, brake, electrical issues in the China made ones, fuel filler so choose wisely and get a 2nd gen xc90 forgot to add that's all the bad ^ everything else is really good, comfortable, great fuel economy 1100km long range 850 short range, decent transmission - hardly any hunting for gears, tidy interior, the self driving mode is best in class better than my tesla! for a 5 yr old car! plenty of tech + list goes on. drive one 😊

I have had three of the second generation models (a D5 and two T8s). During the first 3 years of production they had a few issues (oil leaks, turbo and gearbox issues and a few others) but Volvo made a lot of minor updates to fix the reliability points so that by 2019 (MY 2020) onwards everything had been fixed (my first 2015 D5 had a couple of big issues - gearbox failure, air suspension issues). I currently have a MY2020 T8 Inscription Pro at the moment with a cream leather interior with matt wood trims, and it is wonderfully comfortable and has a very high quality feel and we have had no issues with it.

Nice review Adam. i have test driven many used XC90s. I just could never trust their history, but still love them as a family cruiser.

I am ore than happy for you to review it if you wish, but understand you may wish to hang out for the offer of an RS model. I challenge you to find it smaller than the XC90 to find more problems. PS I love the electric tow bar. I’ve only used it once, but I never walk into it!! Lloyd

Braking is often like that in hybrid cars. It is because the top portion of brake pedal movement is for regenerative braking with the electric motor and only when you press it a bit further, it goes for the physical brakes. The top portion with the regen is tricky, because if the battery isn't ready to take in electricity (it is full or cold, or whatever) it seems to affect how smooth the braking is, it's kinda not knowing what to do, so just press further for the real brakes.

On the other hand the 2019 T6 has been absolutely rock solid, no issues have come upon us since buying it.

Friend haves XC90 D5 2016. and it is a nightmare. Dashboard screen fail Air suspension fail Boot door handle crack (cold conditions but still..) Front lights - both leaking water and they are very expensive Panorama roof also leaked water as mentioned in video Oil leak on gaskets Check engine light went on without a reason.. He is selling it right now, sadly he really likes the car but he put too much money in it and he is afraid that something more will go bad, he even noticed that turbo is whistling more than it should and car haves 150k km..

Maybe you shouldn't buy a huge expensive SUV with tons of luxury gimmicks and electric safety options when you don't have some money to throw at it. And 150k km is not nothing for a vehicle that heavy and powerful. You should know that's the milage when you will have to replace many expensive parts.

@@miskatonic6210 Well i disagree with you. That car is Volvo’s flagship model and some of that stuff should not happen, especially not for that kind of money. And btw i forgot to mention that his main dashboard screen has died as well, it costed around 1500€ for a new one (workshop hours included). Of course that some stuff should fail, but he experienced too much of it.

Purchased brand new 2017 Volvo XC90 Inscription direct from Volvo Oversea Delivery. Car used as daily driver and is maintained and taken care of. Issues encountered with the XC90 are as follows: *Brake pads wear rather quickly compare to other cars *Battery *AC Evaporator Core - never had AC failed on a car before! *Draft Shaft *Engine Mount *Engine Failed at approximate 65,000 miles - one of the cylinders had a fine line cracked; dealer tried to upcharge by alot and Volvo Corp refused acknowledge or assist First and last Volvo ... run away, don't walk

i have an 2020 xc90 inscription, break pads and disks had to be replaced with less than 15k miles, $2,100 usd, then the volvo ignition system failed at the same tame the evaporator, cost to replace both $4,400 usd and it has 21k miles now, so its basically new, very low usage and i already spent $6,500 in repairs...

Had two xc60s....both rock solid....unlike the series of holdens which were nothing short of horrendous. Cant speak to the xc90.....but if old mate has owned a few or has mates who have...the fair enough..maybe he is right....but i suspect not.

Im surprised the leather is in such good shape. The previous generation of Volvo's (1998-2015) had leather that wore badly. Most of the used examples I've seen have terrible cracks and splits.

Have an 2018 XC90 D5 momentum from new. No sun roof, no air suspension, no Nappa leather. It have over 180 000km now. Maintained regularly and exclusively in Volvo. No major issues. Love this car for comfort and safety. However, it is expensive to buy and expensive to maintain. But, what premium SUV is not? My recommendation is. Do not buy used, unless regularly and exclusively maintained in Volvo.

Solid car. Just one comment: car begs for a horizontally-split rear tail-gate: so practical, so sensible, so VOLVO.

I bought a 2nd hand 2018 XC90 T6 about 18 months ago. Been great so far. However, turning circle is terrible and parking sensors don’t always seem to tell you there’s something hard just beyond where you can see…

I can attest the sunroof stopped working on my volvo s60 2020 just after 3 years lol It costed me only $250 to fix, as the service only had to get the motor's out and reset them god, why don't they make them better :(

The XC90 is a great looking and practical family car BUT on my 2018 XC90 D5 Power Pulse R-design the gearbox has been replaced and now after 90.000miles the engine broke with inner mechanical failure and needs to be replaced with no help or goodwill from Volvo what so ever ... Greetings from UK
