2016 Volvo XC90 Images
As promised in my recent chat with Nicolas here are a plethora of images of the wonderful new XC90 from Volvo. I am going to write down brief comments with the images however I am going to write a brief review of the car myself as well a little later and ...
Clearly,
I think so as well. Yes, it is in a price range not occupied by Volvo before but the vehicle itself is in a luxury category not occupied by Volvo before. Yes, for the money you can easily purchase a German car however it will not come with quite as many l...
If you want to drive different and with class, then it is a great car to consider.
The former XC 90 lacked something the new version has. No, what about the engines? Best, Nicolas
Indeed,
It is precisely as you paint it. Am busy currently but I will make the review post including engine options during the day . Cheers, Filip
That's easy. There is only one choice really.
The T8 plug-in Hybrid. 407 hp 640 Nm And that from a 4 cylinder engine (assisted by an electric engine). Personally I would definitely go for the Model X (as long as your daily driving isn\'t longer than 300 km). But that\'s just because I would love to h...
They tend to be a steal, too...
Usually you can get dramatic discounts on Volvos, so the quoted price is not completely indicative. Not sure if they will try and enforce more discipline going forward but most models here tend to change hands at 20-35% under the quoted retail price at th...
Didn't know that.
It becomes even better value in that case! Would have considered this if I weren\'t living in Manhattan.
Haha.
Yellow cabs are always an option, indeed! Got a Macan, which my better half uses much more than I do (walk/metro to work).
The thing is....
they have truly succeeded in giving the 4 cylinder engine the power and torque output of a 6 cylinder engine by using both a supercharger to increase torque at lower RPMs and also a turbocharger to increase torque at higher RPMs. This is where these engin...

I love the design here
Love the serenity, as you say... I wish Volvo was more successful in USA... they are almost dead here. One has to wonder if, in only a few years... virtually this whole design will have no application, when cars have no steering wheels or pedals...and car...

2016 XC90 T6 AWD Momentum Plus Review....
So I finally sat down to write my comments on the car, specifically the one you see in the images above. This is a mid-range trim for the car and the MSRP indicates this. It retails for approximately $62,975. The base-trim XC90s retail in the low 50-, eve...
It is definitely a different car. You feel comfortable inside...
I went into one, at my Volvo AD, just to see how it was inside. And I was very surprised by the level of quality, little attentions, and how good I felt inside. I tested a T6 4 Cyl 310 HP or something like that, in a break, the V70. I was puzzled by the p...
Well,
as they've pretty much phased out the 5 cylinder I highly doubt there will be any 6 or 8 cylinder offerings in the foreseeable future X). Who knows, hope is the last to die I guess . Filip
Great Pics and
Review, I've been driving an XC90 Inscription for almost a year along with a Porsche Cayenne 958 GTS. Its a great family car, very smooth, very comfortable, interior is well made although the materials feel lighter than the previous generation XC 90, the ...
Great....
additional commentary on the car, especially when it comes from a lot of experience like yours does! When I said I'd consider 1 or 2 other vehicles beside the XC90 (if I was only looking to purchase 1) I literally had the Cayenne in mind along with a Merc...
Hi Filip
That would be a tough choice, I would prefer a Noble M600, Lotus Evora 400 or Alfa 4c but due to an aging infrastructure and roadworks going on all over the place we need SUVs. My Cayenne has sports bucket seats in the front which is not so comfortable fo...
Thanks.
My sentiments are definitely in-line with yours. For a genuinely sporty, personally appealing SUV I'd get a Cayenne GTS. For a primarily family-friendly SUV with all the safety tech you could wish for I'd get an XC90. Happy driving! Cheers, Filip
