They've done enough. The only downside is the protruding tablet, but the software is much better now. The previous design aged well and they simply updated it instead of completely redesigning it. Looks alright to me, very relaxing and classy interior.
Volvos are always beautiful and aesthetically pleasing…. Reliability however is yet to be seen - but I’d still buy one if I had a spare $80k laying around
Very classy indeed. The big centre screen is no doubt of higher standards than the one on the previous XC90, but whereas it was nicely intergrated before, now it looks as though it has been stuck on as if an afterthought. Not so nice 😅
Here comes the new dog, same as the old dog. That'll do just fine. Like an old pair of boots, some things are perfect just as they are. Some don't get what is a XC90, and for them, there's plenty of options out there...go on ! Volvo owners do not give a toss what other people think. Cheers
Nah, P1 P2 volvo owners cant understand how good handling and powerfull cars become old grandpa 900series... 10+ years volvo trying to create a great alternative for germans, and now its just grandpa suv with 2litre and no acceleration in corners. Ford rear suspension was killed with "yellow stick" and every new buyer wants to delete 180lock. Especially funny when polarstar was tunning company for volvo, not a ev joke. Now, polarstar badge means nothing, its just new software that woung brick car after connecting to volvo vida backend written on java. (yeah yeah, no self monitoring for car blocks via offline vida dice cables)
I live how they reworded the engine grille. Their old design (silver diagonal logo on a black grille) looks so much like a pirate eye patch😂 now the new design has made that diagonal line less obtrusive. Have been waiting for this for so long. This will be my next car
Love this refresh! First time watching the channel... For some reason the internet was buffering and when the video began I heard the yelling... I laughed b/c I knew it was going to be a British reviewer!
A huge update not only in design but improvements in ride and cabin quietness as well. And since it not all new there is no 2 year break in period to work out the bugs. It also appears to be more refined in fit and finish. It’s finally worthy of $80,000 for a well equipped B6. And Yes, I want one.
I had 3 XC 90 Over the last 6 year I have had 3 this one look great . Had a ex99 on Oder but after 2.5 years been told would I would not get it till May I cancelled it.
And once again no immediately accessible button to turn off the bloody start/stop technology. Back to disconnecting some wires and ensuring a fault message.
I wonder if in Sweden an XC90 is still expensive like other markets, I mean out of reach for most people.... I remember going to a business trip in Budapest couple years ago, and a work colleague from Sweden was turning 50 years old, I heard him saying how he was getting an XC60 custom ordered just because he was turning 50, it sounded like a big purchase...
as an s90 owner I'm hoping they do the same treatment because I love my car I just want a little update. I don't like the new stark interior with giant wrap around screens. love it
Classy for sure, however, the drive is boring compared to a BMW. I own a 23 XC 90 and have owned many BMWs in the past. The new Front looks great, however, the sides and back should have been tweaked as well. It’s a cheap redo that doesn’t flow very well.
I mean I guess it’s a huge vehicle for the UK market but in America the XC90 is midsize compared to a jeep grand wagoner L Escalade LWB, Toyota sequoia and etc…
Can’t believe they replaced a tired old infotainment system with a tired old infotainment system. Looks like they glued an iPad to the dash, that’s so lazy and unimaginative on their part.
Agree on other comments with regards to the screen not being as well integrated as before. We have owned a T8 in Canada and it has been a great vehicle overall. For European roads its an even better choice as it gets more respect than envy, which translates in less chances of it being keyed or having its tires slashed. Both of which happened on our Cayenne e-hybrid back there. On thing I will look if they changed enough is the suspension. I wish they moved to a rear wheel drive biased system as the front wheels struggle to keep the power on a wet road and tend to oversteer. Also, even with the air suspension it was a bit jittery on sharper bumps. If that has been sufficiently addressed we will definitely get one for our road trips instead of the Porsche.
I have the XC90 T8 complete with buggy infotainment system. Google frequently drops out as does Apple CarPlay. I’m told by the dealer that this 2025 version has the old infotainment system that won’t be replaced till July 2025. If you buy one beware.
Can't agree with what the host said about the difference in premium level compared with BMW. It is all about everyone's opinion or personal taste. But for level of safety, no other brands would get close to Volvo.
He mea s coming out of a junction to turn left or right. Here in the UK there is a perception that folks are "selective" on what kind of cars they will be courteous to and let out.
Thank you for petrol cars finally! I really dont like electric cars. It feels like a toy. As long as petrol cars are still around i would never buy electric one.
When the dash literally looks like an iPad holder from the side for the screen. They should have intergraded it better. Looks like an afterthought and no effort was put into it. Rest of the interior looks ho-hum, but dislike how they mounted the screen
Gorgeous car except for that vertical tablet between air vents. There’s something out of place about it that disturbs the unity and tranquility of the cabin. It’s like discovering a tiny egg shell in an otherwise delicious omelette.
Nah, Palisade got physical climate buttons and also clean design. But 3.5+hybrid instead of 2 litr+hybrid. When crossing austria to italy on mountain roads all new volvos struggle to go 130+ and old volvos P2 can do it easily with bigger engine and less mass. Esp questioned solution is rear stick which cause handling worse then S80 V70
hmm yes real men with a 2l 4 pot under the bonnet 🙄 ill take the x5 with a 6 cylinder or a v8 under the bonnet I know which engines make for more interesting conversation and it aint the volvos.
They possess troubles like pricey transmission issues, malfunctions in the electronic system, engine failures, water leaks, and faults even with the gearboxes . Safety is good but very expensive to fix which you will hate.
What’s the point preconditioning and cleaning the air in the car before you get in and then opening the door to get in and let the outside air back in again!!!
It's mostly to expell the hot air from vehicle when parked in the summer heat..it runs on the auxiliary battery for bout 10 min..set it for say 10 min prior to you leaving work, and it's cooled off considerably by time u reach the vehicle from your office. Work really good imho..
So Volvo is forcing us to buy their new EVs but they know the best product was a petrol XC90 so they gave it 3rd lift? Why not drop whole dumb EV idea and just make a brand new petrol XC90?!
Is the XC90 the ultimate SUV?

No
Yes. ❤
Facelift model...?
Volvos age so well they always look great no matter the era
That grille is the best-looking one I’ve seen in a while.
They've done enough. The only downside is the protruding tablet, but the software is much better now. The previous design aged well and they simply updated it instead of completely redesigning it. Looks alright to me, very relaxing and classy interior.
True, but I feel they should have given the rear the ex90 update as well.
I love the tablet, it's so big and spacious
@@leratoleshaba5625 The tablet definently grew on me. I was not a big fan at first but i wish they would have kept the home button on it!
Perfect facelift. Still the best looking SUV on the outside as well as on the inside. I would take this over the EX90 any day.
After the sea of ugly German designs. This looks fresh
Fresh? Its been the same design since 2015
@@tonystafford978ja und frisch …das können die Deutschen nicht

Yep, you don't get it.
Sexiest SUV ever.
It's a shame that such a big, expensive and luxurious Volvo doesn't have at least the famous Volvo five-cylinder.
Beautiful car. Definitely prettier than most other large SUV's and hugely practical to boot! Well done Volvo.
Just got a 2024 plug-in hybrid, and I absolutely love it. The updates for the 25.5 are certainly nice looking, but I don't have FOMO.
The most beautiful premium suv on sale today
Like it much more than EX90 , XC90 still looks the best love the work that Volvo done ❤❤❤❤.
Another great video keep it up 🤟🤟
Still the best looking big SUV, dig that new grille
getting this ! i am impressed
I live how they reworded the engine grille. Their old design (silver diagonal logo on a black grille) looks so much like a pirate eye patch😂 now the new design has made that diagonal line less obtrusive. Have been waiting for this for so long. This will be my next car
WOW I didn't think they were going to top the current design, this is the most beautiful SUV ever!
Sold. Ordering the upgrade! ;)

very elegant! good job Volvo.
I like it. It's definitely smooth and sleek and right up my alley!!! Nice Job Volvo!!! ❤
Volvos are amazing!! I want a V60 for my next car
I’m ready to order one now !!!
I just hate hate vertical screens in any car no matter how good a car is I can’t pass over that.
I like what bmw and Lexus have done
That grill is fresh!
Looks great, except iPad. Could have done better there Volvo. Nevertheless, the XC90 still looks much classier than there German competitors
Great review, and looking well James 😊
I wish they had done more with the interior , there doesnt seem much need to by this over the prefacelift given the discounts avaialble .
Since becoming aware of their brilliant ads I'm taking a closer look at the Volvo.
A huge update not only in design but improvements in ride and cabin quietness as well. And since it not all new there is no 2 year break in period to work out the bugs. It also appears to be more refined in fit and finish.
It’s finally worthy of $80,000 for a well equipped B6. And Yes, I want one.
If it aint broke then dont fix it. This is the best ❤
I had 3 XC 90

The facelift 👍.. looks a little bit better than the old one.. I want change my old X5 to this one! Btw nice review dude!
I am getting this

Can’t wait for digital number plates that shine through the bodywork at the front and rear.
handsome car!
I Love It!!
Still wish they bring back the dual exhaust chrome tips look so plain from lower rear so if you looking Volvo bring that daul exhaust back
as an s90 owner I'm hoping they do the same treatment because I love my car I just want a little update. I don't like the new stark interior with giant wrap around screens. love it

You should try to see if the rear seats recline.

its a lovely looking thing - very good facelift IMO.
I’m going to get one 😂❤
The xc90 is the new affordable G wagon. Keep this style forever!

If you are a hater, just watch a different channel pls.
@@ger5881bro chill , he is telling his opinion about the car as car guy. He haven’t said anything related to this channel. Come on bro .
Totally would get it
I don’t know if it is better, it is certainly more beautiful

I liked it and wanted it

I wish XC60 also get the facelift soon,
Looks good, just wish there were a 6 cylinder engine offered.
An already nice-looking car got nicer!!🤍
The front is beautiful.
Are they reliable? I don’t know much about Volvos other than are safe.
I have the XC90 T8 complete with buggy infotainment system. Google frequently drops out as does Apple CarPlay. I’m told by the dealer that this 2025 version has the old infotainment system that won’t be replaced till July 2025. If you buy one beware.
This is what happens when the design team is NOT lead by Domagoj Dukec. The car actually looks very good!
accoustically impressive and competitive, however the in terms of driving could hardly rival the germans.
I would love a 3-seater version of this with more space for the rear passengers. I know they do a 4-seater super luxury, so it must be possible.
Where is the Diesel variant? Outrageous they stop that easily the best with Diesel torque for such a vehicle.
Volvo retired their diesel engines. I think they produced the last one several months ago and sent it to a museum in Sweden.
@@karacha Pretty stupid idea
Seriously? The interior looks much better then EX 90
Sure looks classier
I prefer the old grill and ground effects
Volvo ALWAYS win.
lovely looking but would compare with X7 not X5

Idk the chrome on the windows….
why do you have the mid hump? its front wheel drive anyways with the engine?
what is “a side turning”?

The central tunnel is where the ev battery goes!
They took previous volvo, replaced front grill and screen. Great! I see not many reasons to sell my xc90 2015 ))
the reason is to give your money to volvo because they are...very woke which is trendy isnt it?
Better ride of this one for shure,all front is diferent not only the grile,and interior looks more fresh than old one
When the dash literally looks like an iPad holder from the side for the screen. They should have intergraded it better. Looks like an afterthought and no effort was put into it. Rest of the interior looks ho-hum, but dislike how they mounted the screen
no show 3rd row legroom ? do better
Gorgeous car except for that vertical tablet between air vents. There’s something out of place about it that disturbs the unity and tranquility of the cabin. It’s like discovering a tiny egg shell in an otherwise delicious omelette.
Wait, why is the model you are displaying not on the volvo website? Is the one you are reviewing AI generated?
Where is the new design?
Of course better than x5
Nah, Palisade got physical climate buttons and also clean design. But 3.5+hybrid instead of 2 litr+hybrid. When crossing austria to italy on mountain roads all new volvos struggle to go 130+ and old volvos P2 can do it easily with bigger engine and less mass. Esp questioned solution is rear stick which cause handling worse then S80 V70
oh also a question... its still mid range tg71SD ? or volvo finally understood that ZF-9H possible to use for acceleration?
It looks just perfect. I would say x5 is like teenage and xc90 is like real men
hmm yes real men with a 2l 4 pot under the bonnet 🙄 ill take the x5 with a 6 cylinder or a v8 under the bonnet I know which engines make for more interesting conversation and it aint the volvos.
Where is the wireless charging for your smart phone ?
Centre console, it's a pad next to gear shift.

You can enter the car by osmosis
Front grill top border is missing! In my eyes it’s worse than amazing look of the previous edition. Bonnet is gonna fly open to the windshield
Great car. Shame about the silly tiny engines for such a big car
So Volvo is forcing us to buy their new EVs but they know the best product was a petrol XC90 so they gave it 3rd lift? Why not drop whole dumb EV idea and just make a brand new petrol XC90?!
How is it that this car still looks like he same and yet we still buy and love it how is Volvo doing this. I call witchcraft 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Just the price is way over the top
At least £26,000 cheaper than equivalent Mercedes or BMW. I've just come out of a Mercedes GLE into the Volvo B6 Ultimate.
1:21 Volvo are way more comfortable than an Audi. Audi are better are handling the road but I don’t care.
dışı güzel, torpido, multimedya eskisi gibi
Old one was too big for UK. New one, same. Should be Europe sold only.
Interior didn’t change
