Man, i remember taking a chance on watching sofan years ago when this man just started out and was shooting videos on his phone later on his buddy came on board, i watch the quality go up and the channel grow, now my man so big in the car review game, he's getting flew out to Sweden having manufacturers begging him for a review, im prod to be an o.g subcriber!😊
his first videos were just grilling and ROASTING TOYOTA's interiors lol unless those videos are all hidden now! those videos were spoken facts but damn those Toyotas during that ERA were literally BULLET PROOF reliability
I prefer the 9 inch fully integrated centre display. This new one looks like an afterthought. I feel the well proportioned and inbuilt system is more than sufficient.
I agree. Just got a C40 and actually like the smaller screen. It has a bezel around it that makes it easy to rest a figure or two to stabilize your "touch" finger making it easy to operate. This appears to be missing that.
I have really liked how volvo designs a car to remain modern looking for a long time. My mom had a 2007 v8 xc90 for 16 years and that car still looks modern and well styled today. Meanwhile a company like genesis who completely reimagines their cars every 2 years don’t age well. You look at the interior of the 2020 G90 vs the 2024 and it looks like a 10 year difference where since volvo keeps it simple and clean from the beginning their cars stay modern looking. Their market is definitely a more educated and affluent customer.
Yes. Our tastes in cars are a little different and some call it a bit odd. And that’s the way I like it. Not everyone wants one so nobody wants to steal it. Volvo is the best European brand with all things considered and checks all the important box for me.
I have started doing Uber on my 2018 volvo t8, I get so many compliments from riders that if the car is brand new, how modern the interior is, and the bowers & Wilkins premium sound system
I know it’s not much of a refresh but current volvos are already stunning imo and still look modern. Hard to believe this bodystyle is almost 10 years old. Love the new front end but the tablet looks like they pried it out from the housing of the pre facelift and just left it hanging.
I hope they will add the option of ventilated second row seats the way the S90 offers that. At the price range of the XC90, it should offer that feature since it's meant to be a comfortable & luxurious family SUV. Other less expensive crossovers & SUVs from mainstream brands offer that besides some other luxury brands but this really needs to include that
Gosh..I loved me some Volvo's. Growing up in the 80's, my parents were Swedish car fans...we have a new Volvo's and SAABs, and there was NOTHING like the smell of the leather in a new Volvo. I don't know what their process was but it's so distinct. As an adult, I've passed on Volvo's just because I hate the tablet dashboard.
They are the number one company that develops technology for more than other companies in fact other companies purchase technology from them what the fuck are you talking about do your reading a little more
@KAYJAYSTUDIOSYT Its going to take more than a new screen on a pre-production prototype to reassure consumers after they have been complaining about the tech for years. Its nice its finally being addressed but we cant say how good it is until official reviews and tests are done.
Volvo is one of the few companies that can get away with not fully redesigning a car for a decade since their cars are understated yet elegant and beautiful. That interior display needs work though since it looks like an afterthought. Otherwise, still beautiful on the outside.
It looks great from the outside (was expecting a EX90 rear end) The central screen is poorly integrated. They could've just kept the same screen size and just improve the hardware and screen resolution.
The previous 9" screen this had was already looking small compared to other midsize crossovers & SUVs that now have 12.3-14.5" screens in the middle for their infotainment systems, which is helpful for wireless CarPlay & Android Auto especially with some climate functions being integrated into the screen
I just had the XC90 for a couple of weeks as a loaner, and despite its age, it was blue and beige interior and i had a lot of compliments. As a car enthusiast and a Volvo owner, i would appreciated more updates, but that isnt what their consimer is asking for. The main issue with Volvo is their google based system. I really wished they kept Sensus, it really works better and more intuitive than the google system. However, that google system is sources from recent polestars, not the pre-refresh model, which does work better. Volvo has limited resources and they have big competition. They just run at their own beat.
My 2022S 60 had Sensus and “energy distribution using maps data” worked great. My 2023 S60 has google and “energy distribution using maps data” doesn’t work. This is an important feature with PHEV‘s on a longer trip, but I guess that’s progress at Volvo. Oh, and the ‘22 phone app was an order of magnitude better than the 202$ google replacement app.
This new Cardamom Beige Nordico looks so nice I'm glad to see they brought that over from the EX90 as well. It's seems like you could get heated & massaging front seats with the Nordico leather depending on the trim or option list per trim, but if they won't let you get the ventilated front seats with the Nordico leather that's really weird
Great detailed video. You covered and answered many of my questions others haven’t including the smell of the interior and seat material options. I’ll be looking for your driving impressions along with pricing and option packages when this car gets to the states.
There are sooo many cars that you can watch RUclips auto reviews of, including driving, etc, which aren’t available yet, but “coming soon” (I use that phrase VERY loosely)Volvo XC90 Facelift for 2025, Volvo EX30, Volvo EX90, Polestar 3, Polestar 4, Audi A6 & Audi S6 etrons, Audi Q6/SQ6, Macan EV. Lot’s of vaporware. The Polestar 3 and Macan EV are within a few weeks, but still you can't take delivery of either, today. I was at the Polestar showroom yesterday and they still say "a month or 2" - late October or early November. My lease ends in the next 30 days and none of these contenders can be had.
Beautiful looking exterior. Nice update while keeping what was good in the old one relevant. Not so keen on that center screen, I think I prefer the old. It would have been better if it looked more built in.
@@justinaguirre3776 Absolutely. Hate the feeling and sounds of sliding around on leather and how hot/cold it gets. Volvo, new 7 series, new Land Cruiser all have really nice looking cloth options. hopefully it catches on.
Never knew that Volvo is not using wireless car play that is wired for this vehicle for 2026 XC90. Interesting, but this is a great vehicle to look and see its styling too.🤞🏼💯🙌🏻
I really hope they will finally let you get the middle Plus trim with ventilated Nordico like you can get on the EX90 if you don't care about getting the Nappa leather. They could easily give the Plus trim the perforated & ventilated Nordico leather material & just keep the Nappa leather & massaging front seats as Ultimate/ Ultra exclusive features
The 11.2" center display is still smaller than other crossovers & SUVs in this segment that have at least a 12.3" screen or larger depending on the model. It's a welcome upgrade but they should've made it at least 12.3” with less black bezels around the screen
Imagine this car had REAL updates like 25KWh EV Battery delivering 60+ miles of EV range, with fast DC charging , 4-wheel steering and LIDAR hardware. I would have upgraded my 2017 one tomorrow. I am now waiting for a LI Auto L9 to come to the UK
I have an xc60 in dark theme, would definitely upgrade to the next step xc90 regardless of the bright theme. Hoping I can get the parts to replace it with the dark theme. Volvo is you see this please offer the dark theme on the xc90! Love the sporty look on my dark theme black ultimate Xc60. Would be very happy to get a black ultra Xc90 in dark theme next year!
The new diagonal slats would look better if they were going down vertically from each side of the diagonal arrow in the logo. And why did they get rid of the LED fog lights? The new front end kind of looks weird but the new 22" wheels look beautiful!
I own the 2016. I wish the Volvo made more changes and a Polestar performance version. But on the other hand, this could mean my current one will hold it's value well. As such, I can't justify trading mine in.
Beautiful color. I like the refresh, just wish they’d have a competitive 6 cylinder powertrain to compete with the X5 and GLE. I didn’t buy this in 2015 when it came out because I don’t trust a turbo and supercharged 4 cylinder. Nor do I want a turbo 4 hybrid. I’m about to buy my next suv and this likely won’t make the list because of the engine options.
Looks like a life cycle type update with lights, grill and center infotainment center upgrades. I like it but would like to see more of an upgrade to the overall interior and exterior design. Maybe 2026 will be the year.
This is it. Volvo has created a next generation big SUV and it is the EX90. The XC90 was supposed to be cancelled and replaced by the EX90 but the EX90 is electric only and the market for EVs didn't grow as fast as Volvo anticipated. That's the only reason why Volvo is updated and keeping the XC90 around for this long. Volvo is going to introduce a bunch of new cars. The EX90, the EX30 have already been introduced and they teased the ES90 today. They are going to bring out an EX60 in a year or two as well. But as long as hybrids way outsell BEVs, Volvo will have to just fiddle and slightly update the current, last generation cars and that may be for 5 years or longer.
@@benjaminsmith2287 I was hoping for all the EX90 styling into the new XC90 recharge....then I think it would be a nice touch for a complete refresh. Especially interior.
But have they fixed the quality issues? That's one thing I wish you car channels would actually address when reviewing these new models. What have they done to address previous quality gremlins?
I have the 2016 XC90 and this car does look that much different. Why would I trade up, when this car doesn't have a wow factor? The reason the German's are winning is they aren't scared to think outside the box and be different. Volvo plays it too safe.
I hope they will change their minds & let you get the Nordico leather with ventilated front seats since you can get the Nordico leather with ventilated front seats in the EX90. Other midsize luxury crossovers & SUVs let you get ventilated front seats without having to go to the top trim just to get that 1 feature
A lot of people will want the faster onboard charger once they realize what it does. The RAV4 Prime’s base model comes with a 6.6 kW onboard charger. Volvo is supposed to be luxury, they should be ahead of the competition not behind.
@@thrash123ful no the xc90 does it under 5 seconds vs 5.7 for the rav4. And the Volvo handles better and doesn’t drone because of the cvt and the Volvo is far nicer too
Manual tilt steering wheel. Volvo used to represent safety, but now they seem more concerned with people fumbling around to adjust the heat and AC while NOT looking out the windshield for cars, stoplights, and the asphalt below.
I get the minimalistic design but they seriously need to improve the in cabin utility. The lack of storage space gets annoying after a while. That was the only gripe I had with my 2018 XC90. Even sedans have better in cabin utility.
Will this translate into deep discounts for the outgoing 2024 and 2025 models? I don’t think the update is worth waiting for or paying MSRP for the refreshed version
Very nice and on always on time video. The major problem with all these new designs which are very nice but the prices almost every new SUV is way overpriced and depreciation is going to be there nemesis.
And that's why a lot of people like Volvos including myself, I love the fact they continue to restyle some parts of the car but it still keeps that classy elegant Volvo look. I feel like lately a lot of car designs are looking a bit weird and space ship like for my taste. But this beautiful still looks like a car with a hint of futuristic in the front, not too crazy but just right😁😁
@@RenNakamura20most European cars makers keep a consistent design philosophy. You can look at any year Volvo, Mercedes, or BMW and instantly recognize it. Japanese cars seem to do completely different designs every few years. Honda especially. I’ll like one then the next model will look like something from another planet (and not in a good way).
5:49 those tailllights better now include amber turn signals on USDM vehicles, unlike the current unacceptable red turn signals. Volvo of all companies definitely should know better not to downgrade the tailllights for North America and give everyone safe and effective tailllights.
meh not enough of a refresh to bring in older volvo customers, I had a 2021 xc90 inscription - this looks exactly the same, and you are correct they should have made this car bigger.
I have had two xc90’s from this generation. A 2016 and a 2018 model and I still have the 2016 one. This refresh is what should have been done 4 years ago. At 10 years there should be a more significant change. At this point my 2016 that is a similar color to this looks about the same. I wonder if the front cap is interchangeable, I know it doesn’t look like anything has been done with the rear end at all. I agree big missed opportunity. We were holding out to see what the new Volvo xc90 would look like before pulling the trigger on a new vehicle. It seems like a dud compared to how much better the 2016 was to the previous generation.
I guess this is what happens when you decide to go all electric, then realize it is still too early for that and have to hurry up a quick design. It just seems like it’s reusing existing parts from its older generation and other models. Ford and Chevy do this same refresh, but it is normally after 2 to 3 years before a big redesign after 5 or 6 years. I don’t like things staying stagnant as far as design. I guess Volvo is on the same track as Toyota, but at least with Toyota you get a bigger change after 10 years. Did they layoff most of their design team? Also where is the xc100 or 110, the bigger one they were working on years ago?

Love the diagonals in the grille design. Nice change.
Volvo thought the XC90 was getting killed this year so when it turned out they needed a 2025 my they paniced and threw that on last minute

Manual tilt steering wheel. Volvo used to represent safety, but now they seem more concerned with people fumbling around to adjust the heat and AC while NOT looking out the windshield for cars, stoplights, and the asphalt below.
I get the minimalistic design but they seriously need to improve the in cabin utility. The lack of storage space gets annoying after a while. That was the only gripe I had with my 2018 XC90. Even sedans have better in cabin utility.
Will this translate into deep discounts for the outgoing 2024 and 2025 models? I don’t think the update is worth waiting for or paying MSRP for the refreshed version
Very nice and on always on time video. The major problem with all these new designs which are very nice but the prices almost every new SUV is way overpriced and depreciation is going to be there nemesis.
I inlove the front grill, tye style is subtle but masculine.
And they kept the weight down, Only issue is the price. Great car if you buy it used.
Wish they upgraded the charging speed for a 7kwh, it would have been great charging it up in a couple of hours.
Volvo design was getting ooooooollldddd
And that's why a lot of people like Volvos including myself, I love the fact they continue to restyle some parts of the car but it still keeps that classy elegant Volvo look. I feel like lately a lot of car designs are looking a bit weird and space ship like for my taste. But this beautiful still looks like a car with a hint of futuristic in the front, not too crazy but just right😁😁
@@RenNakamura20most European cars makers keep a consistent design philosophy. You can look at any year Volvo, Mercedes, or BMW and instantly recognize it.
Japanese cars seem to do completely different designs every few years. Honda especially. I’ll like one then the next model will look like something from another planet (and not in a good way).
Would love to see car companiea bring suv to the us without standard rear window tints
5:49 those tailllights better now include amber turn signals on USDM vehicles, unlike the current unacceptable red turn signals. Volvo of all companies definitely should know better not to downgrade the tailllights for North America and give everyone safe and effective tailllights.
It might get wireless CarPlay through a software update in the future
No wireless CarPlay shows they are not serious about selling cars. It’s absurd. Hyundais and Buicks have it.
No Diesel available?
Manual steering column???
Which color is that?
meh not enough of a refresh to bring in older volvo customers, I had a 2021 xc90 inscription - this looks exactly the same, and you are correct they should have made this car bigger.
That cargo space seems bigger than 11, 30ish, and 65ish cubic feet (depending on the seating configuration)
It looks bigger than it is. With the 3rd row seats up you can’t fit a full size stroller in back.
How did they make the screen worse??
They need to make the space 36inches rather than 31inches in the 3rd row seat
oh good, I can watch amazon prime videos while I drive....lol
I have had two xc90’s from this generation. A 2016 and a 2018 model and I still have the 2016 one. This refresh is what should have been done 4 years ago. At 10 years there should be a more significant change. At this point my 2016 that is a similar color to this looks about the same. I wonder if the front cap is interchangeable, I know it doesn’t look like anything has been done with the rear end at all. I agree big missed opportunity. We were holding out to see what the new Volvo xc90 would look like before pulling the trigger on a new vehicle. It seems like a dud compared to how much better the 2016 was to the previous generation.
I guess this is what happens when you decide to go all electric, then realize it is still too early for that and have to hurry up a quick design. It just seems like it’s reusing existing parts from its older generation and other models. Ford and Chevy do this same refresh, but it is normally after 2 to 3 years before a big redesign after 5 or 6 years. I don’t like things staying stagnant as far as design. I guess Volvo is on the same track as Toyota, but at least with Toyota you get a bigger change after 10 years. Did they layoff most of their design team? Also where is the xc100 or 110, the bigger one they were working on years ago?
