The 2024 Volvo XC90 T8 Recharge Is A Tempting 3-Row Plug-In Hybrid Luxury SUV

The #VolvoXC90 started a new design language for #Volvo nearly a decade ago when the second-generation came out in 2015. While we are expecting the brand to introduce a new version of the #XC90 in the next couple years. The 2024 #XC90T8Recharge gets some updates to go along with its new #PHEV powertrain which promises more power, range, and efficiency. Despite its age, the latest #VolvoXC90T8Recharge can still hold its own against much newer rivals.

Happy Monday everyone! Hope you all had a great weekend. While we await the launch of the fully electric EX90 this year, Volvo says the XC90 is not going anywhere and you should expect a new generation to show up in 2025. This may be one of the oldest new cars on the market in terms of the design, but it has also aged extremely well and still looks fresh and modern. Not very many brands can pull that off.

I have the B6 version of this. I love my XC90. Been in love with them since 2003 when I saw my high school teacher drive one of these. I always told myself when I could afford one, I’d have it. And here I am—I’m in a 2023 B6 CPO of course 😊

They did a good job with the design. It still looks fresh after all these years.

That's what she said.

Volvo is among one of the very few companies that can make a 2.0 not sound grainy

Great video! Volvo is like fine wine man, I really like what they are doing. Their old T8 wasn't good, because it was trying to do too much with the turbo+supercharger and a mild hybrid. These new PHEVs are excellent! Dig the interior, they really just need to put in some hardware knob/wheel for drive modes (could go on the steering wheel, for example), it's too cumbersome this way. The 90 is too big for my needs and it's way too expensive, but the 40 and 60 are truly excellent. Too bad they don't have the XC40 PHEV, only gas or pure electric. I'd love to see a small hybrid.

as a V60 T8 owner, I'd like to see volvo work on 3 things.
1. android automotive is simply not enough, we need android auto. android automotive+whatever cellular connection is in my car, is easily overloaded by tidal's higher bitrates, vs my phone gets 5G access everywhere I go. also, who's to know if in 10 years, the cellular standards in our cars start getting phased out. I know u can bluetooth tether ur phone to augment the car's internet connection, and I haven't found that to be a fix (though I haven't tried it recently)
2. the lack of a drive mode button is maddening, but it's compounded by a few other factors. drive mode is one of the few things you CAN'T control with voice commands. if i could tell the car to go into power mode, or pure mode, i'd be completely fine not having a drive mode selector. OR, if I could have a programmable favourites row of buttons on the infotainment screen that i can set (like for example, the electric cabin heater, my 2 or 3 favourite drive modes, and maybe 1 or 2 radio stations for my parents), i wouldn't miss physical buttons so much, and my parents might actually drive the damn thing. which, my parents are intimidated by the car (and maybe also the $ i put into it) so no one but me drives the thing.
3. I wonder if [avoiding CVTs and the associated engine drone] is the reason volvo doesn't have a front electric motor and electric AWD. because in the V60, pure electric mode is perfectly adequate. regenerative braking is excellent under ~70km/h. you can truly drive this thing one-pedal. but the electric torque is also nothin to sneeze at in the wet/snow/ice, when driving only 2 wheels. a weak electric motor between the gas engine and the transaxle might make getting off the line a lil easier, but those sort of setups usually involve CVTs. gear shifts are simply not something you feel with electric drivetrains. and ICE-CVT drone is certainly not something you hear in a luxury car. personally, I just hope the whole market takes note of what RAM wants to do with the ramcharger, and what chevy did with the volt, and copy that shit, instead of whatever the heck BMW did with the iX.

Such a handsome-looking SUV. I think this design will age well for years to come!

[naveenthemachine]

Still the best PHEV in the class. It’s aged well and it still excels in so many ways

There are no dents in this car. Even some newer rivals are worse than this

[EDHBlvd]

I think you may have been in some overheat mode after two 0-60 launches. Our 2024 XC90 Recharge feels very quick off the line in Pure. Feels more powerful than my 2020 V90CC T6 off the line when driving normal. The instant torque is real. It’s like it gives you 90% of what it has immediately, but if you keep pushing pedal down there is only a tiny bit more. Again in Pure. In Power the thing is legit fast.

2k away from Sofyan becoming a millionaire…. LETS HELP THIS REVIEWER OUT.. Share these videos.

The manual tilt and telescope is a safety thing. Volvo made this choice just like limiting all of their cars to 112mph.

[Superfastjellyfish]

XC90 looks amazing from the outside but the infotainment is bland as hell

[Vandantcyclone]

I want a Volvo because theyre they’re the underdog. The less looked at car. Even here in Florida. I actually see more sedans than the SUVs. Truly unique design. Next lease perhaps. Can’t wait for my Jeep lease to be over with.

[nujabeez]

The XC90 needs a redesign, that suv came out when I was still working for Volvo, and that was almost a decade ago in 2015 !!

[raskp]

For small notes, I appreciate how much detail there is about relative competitors, but it felt like something that we can all look up on a spec sheet. Many of the remarks about the Lexus for instance were not helpful since we're not going to be doing a plus minus on specs so much as looking to understand the living with it, driving dynamics and lived with style that we can't get from a table from the manufacturers. I really appreciated the nuance between the model years and I think it was super valuable information, especially with the refresh coming next year and the much improved screens.

[MrHotcontent]

Great review! This vehicle makes a good case for a family hauler, however $87K is a ridiculous amount of money!

[terrancesneed]

Still nice, but this is no longer a showstopper like when it first debuted. I actually think the pre refreshed model had a better interior minus the infotainment. This is good but it doesn't wow you like the the pre-refresh. I hope Volvo does a thorough remodel and make this a desirable vehicle again.I would find it hard to take this over most of it's competitors.

[giorgikhoshtaria]

hey I like your videos. it would be good if you will review new toyota land cruiser 300.

The manual adjustment is due to safety design. The engineers were not able to get the steering column and mechanisms to collapse out of the way in a frontal crash with an electronically adjustable unit, given wiring harnesses and connections. The manual column completely snaps and drops under, and out of harms way.
