This Bargain Volvo XC90 is a Range Rover Rival for Half The Money! (XC90 T5 Review)

This week I am driving the Volvo XC90, courtesy of Donald's Volvo in Ipswich. I worked with them years ago when my channel was in its infancy, so when they asked if there were any more cars to try, I decided that this would be a great opportunity to test out the XC90. With the model ageing, there are some bargains to be had - like this £48,000 T5.

Since it's launch in 2002, no-one has ever died in a Volvo XC90 in the UK

[irvings]

These new platform Volvo's are some of thee best looking cars on the market at the moment!

I dumped my Range Rover Autoby and got the T8 Excellence. I am very happy.

Not offering a 6 cylinder engine is the main reason why the XC90 didn't destroy the competition. This is by far the best looking SUV out there. But 4cylinders and luxury just don't work together even in the downsizing world. All the other manufactures manage to offer 6 cylinders, why did volvo cheap out? thanks for the video!

"This model is 6 years old and coming to the end of it's life?" - Not so sure since the last XC90 ran from 2002 to 2014! :D

We just got the T5 with the 2.0t .... we absolutely love it! .... great gas mileage for a big suv too... power is actually surprising... power comes on low in the rpm range... the suv is actually perfect... couldn't be happier!

The Volvo has the best seats in the house...!!! 😇👍

I seem to remember Clarkson once saying he owned an XC90 as the family drive, and rated it well. Range Rovers are great but WAY over-priced in my opinion. Volvo is my choice

[DanLMH]

Volvo's are defo some of the nicest looking cars out right now

Drove a S60 T8 for a weekend before xmas, loved it - fast and understated but heavy and a tiny boot! Looks great inside & out though, plus it was red! xD

I'm not a huge fan of SUV's in general, but I would seriously consider purchasing an XC90. But I suspect if I went to a Volvo dealer, I wouldn't be able to turn down a V90 wagon. If you're going to buy a Volvo, might as well do it properly and get a wagon :) As always, great review Jay!

[RichieRouge]

Love these. Great review. My friend has a white T8 with the amazing Harman Kardon stereo

[rosshunter]

Great review, I absolutely love these, currently have an XC60 and would love one of these next.

[quickreviewchannel]

Great vid as usual keep up the hard work loving ur stuff as always m8

On my third mk2 XC90 - had the D5 and then two T8‘s. I highly recommend the Inscription Pro with the pale cream leather interior and Xenium pack (which comes with the huge panoramic roof). Absolutely love them - the Diesel is very suited to the car (lots of low end grunt) and the T8 is genuinely quick. All of mine have had the air suspension - really smooths out the ride.

I have an 04 plate XC90 177k later still doing 32mpg (around town) I love it had it 3 years and no big issues, I had seen a video on YouTube and it states since the XC90 was first released there have been no fatalities inside the cabin, passenger or driver not many car manufacturers can say that 😊

[graemew]

If I were ever in the market for this type of car the XC90 would be further up the list than a Range Rover, this one is very smart in the black although as with any black car it'd be a nightmare to keep clean.

[macbookboy]

Jay glad to see you got the GH5 for footage is so much better and the stabilisation is better !!

[yellowa]

Had one for 18 months and the whole family loved it. My wife even admitted she'd buy another if we won the lottery!

[TheMrFishnDucks]

Very cool car, hopefully you can cover the T8 Excellence model. Keep up the good work.

Jay! You do know what Volvo has advertised for their safety goal? Like your vids more and more! 👍
