      @@JanDrenk The XC90 T8 I have is quite wonderful in the engine department (~36,000 miles now). Volvo really refined the braking feel and other characteristics of the T8 with the 2020 software updates (which they applied to the earlier as well if you do a software update at the dealer). All electric range is now right around 18 miles. Usually the wife drives it, but I took it for my work for a week - 845 miles of mixed driving, 30.8 MPG (U.S.) and I had a hole in my day I filled by finding a free public charger and just watching an episode of Better Call Saul... gained ~7 miles of range (not a fast charging car...) and used all that range up in stop and go traffic - about two hours stuck in traffic without any gas being used - that was pretty awesome!

    I REALLY like the XC90 design, from my perspective, it’s by far Volvo’s nicest design of all their models. Each to their own though. The aspect I don’t like is the portrait design of the infotainment system nor the massive tall air vents beside it, in this regard I much prefer the landscape screen and circular design seen on the Mercedes vehicles or even BMW’s options over Volvo’s design.

I drive my sisters new Q7 from time to time and it doesn't feel bland in the slightest, having said that her Q7 has a different colour interior which is more exciting than the "clinical" look of the test one in this video. It's a very clean and simple look that doesn't feel cluttered, you don't need anything else on or around the dash. What's there is all that it needs.

    A few years on and all the 3 models have received a face-lift now (June 2021). I ended up exactly with this trio on my shortlist a few months ago. Diesel is still very relevant in this segment and the lack of a six cylinder on the Volvo took it out of the list eventually, the petrol cannot cope decently with towing. Looks (a totally subjective matter) and capability on the Disco ended up making it a winner for me. Still waiting for the delivery though as waiting times are over 4 months.

    Matt Great Review but perhaps next time try getting the Inscription model on the XC90. You'll find it looks posher with a lighter cabin, real wood inlays, leather on the dash and also has AC controls at the back. If you get the T8 it even comes with a crystal gear knob. I've seen it myself and have to say it looks stunning and has that minimalistic/Scandinavian design if you're into that.R Design looks sporty but the interior is too dark for a Volvo and doesn't really bring out the best of that dash design.

      toranwartoran Looking at the date of the video, the car is already at least 2 years old, it’ll be 4+ years old in the next 2 years. And Audi’s are notorious for having issues within the first 4 years and usually right after warranty runs out. If they were so reliable, why would you need to extend a warranty on a fairly new car you paid so much money for just 3 years ago (and probably still paying)??? And there is a reason why I don’t owe one. Friends and family have owned them and they’re nothing but headaches once those first 3-4 years of warranty wear off. Sometime even before.

      toranwartoran thats good for you. I’ve owned all types of cars (American, European, and Japanese). Japanese have proven to be the most reliable. I loved and enjoyed my BMW and I can tell you it gave me a bit more issues than any of my Japanese (Nissan, Acura, Honda). German cars are just a lot more fun to drive and perform better. I’ve been tempted to buy an Audi a couple of times, but was turned off by family and friends. I think replacing every 6 years or more often if you Can is a safe move if you can afford it. But for the average joe who keeps a car for longer and drives a car that’s usually a decade or older, Audi is not the smartest choice. I currently own a Chevy Truck (haven’t had any issues whatsoever in 90k miles) and a 4 years old Volvo XC90 which has been great and we love. That thing is a luxury tank. Best regards from Texas.

    Writing from USA here ... I quite like diesel engines, so I'm tempted to go for the Disco (the only one of the three to come with a diesel over here). But the Q7 and the XC90 both average pretty close MPG with their upgraded petrol engines, so I'm a bit torn. The head-unit in the Volvo is not so great, so it's out. The Q7 will spend less time at the dealer, but I'd probably lease something like this, so I'm not particularly worried. Given the extra storage capacity, and the similar price, I'd probably go for the Disco TD6 in the end. With the upgraded head unit/electronic gauge display.

The Q7 in this review was obviously heavily optioned including air suspension and you were testing the top trim level in the Disco, which includes air suspension as standard, so why not test the XC90 in its top Inscription trim level fitted with the optional air suspension for a more balanced review??

    • @garycampbell9036

      Yeh the Volvo has automated collision, braking and steering assist without launch. Keep in mind that the the XC90 has had several major updates to the 2018 model (after March 17). I find the 2L engine is quick enough for this type of vehicle, it does need to jump through gears more often that the Audi's 3.0l though.
      The T8 Hybrid would likely be much better but I went for the D5 as it wasn't worth the extra for the hybrid since I don't do much town driving. The Tesla is one of the best cars I have driven but it just didn't have the space I need, the 90D is just insanely fast.

      Audi pre-sense front with collision avoidance assist and turn assist
      When the system detects the risk of a collision with the vehicle in front a visual and acoustic warning is given to the driver followed by partial braking or at speeds under 19mph the system may apply full braking. In addition, the system will calculate if an appropriate evasion lane is available and apply supportive steering to aid the driver. If a crash is sensed the airbags will be pre-conditioned and the braking system prepared to assist with the necessary braking force once the brake pedal is touched. When turning at crossroads, from the moment the turn indicators are activated the turn assist system detects approaching vehicles and applies braking to help avoid a collision
      Audi Active lane assist
      Traffic jam assist
      When activated and in conjunction with ACC the system uses the sensors and camera to detect vehicles ahead and on adjacent lanes. When a traffic jam is detected, the system will assist with the braking, accelerating and steering up to 37mph making your journey a more comfortable one
      Predictive efficiency assist
      All-wheel steering the best for me
