I drove one a few months ago and I was pleasantly surprised at how good it is. Excellent quality all round. Smooth drive. The infotainment system takes some getting used to and so does opening the bonnet.

XC90 sales surged by 41% in Nov 2019. Volvo attributes this sales increase to the 2020 refresh. Total Volvo sales surged 18% for Nov in a stagnant US market.

Brilliant review.. I have one of these and love it. 4:20 - "The XC90 is quite a two faced car, you've got the refined comfortable one, and you've got the noisy fun one" - Totally the best statement ever and so true.

Also, manual steering wheel column adjustment, for such an expensive car, steering wheel doesn't move automatically for easy entry/exit, or adjustment. Also they screwed up and made captain seats without armrests... what were they thinking? Beautiful car, but somehow missing important stuff.

The place looks very similar to where Matt reviews his cars..

Hello, great review I see all your videos!
Please do a review on the new Jaguar F pace 2021 plug in hybrid.

Great review. I’m a bit apprehensive when it comes to hybrids as the technology is in it’s infancy especially with Volvo and its premium competitors. I know this is an electric car YT, but I would opt for a diesel engine

[WaywardAnalysis]

I didn't understand the "if you can live with lower fuel efficiency", I believe that all models of Volvo X90's have far better fuel efficiency than other mid-sized SUVs, in fact that is one of there strengths.

Test the recent Mercedes Benz GLE hybrid

[johnkellett]

Living where I do with very limited EV charging points and a daily commute to somewhere else with very few charging opportunities I need a plugin hybrid with a range of at least 75 miles to at least cover the commute. I can change clients for any business miles once I’ve run out of electric power.
Is there one? I’ve been looking and not found on yet.
The ideal would be an excellent value for money EV with a range of about 300 miles on a PCP between £200 and £300 per month (over as many years as necessary, I keep my cars long term the current record is 16 years :-)

Can't i have the t8 without electric?

[henrikwass]

Try to operate the touchscreens in the Audi and the Range Rover with gloves on and see how that works. In the Volvo that will work because the screens are not reacting to heat unlike every other car brand. Just saying!🤔

02:37 do you even see over the dashboard?

[FemiAdebayo]

Again, beautifully reported. I have subscribed.

[OSINT_Skye]

i would take the Inscription, spec it with two tone interior color, blond and charcoal. Only then, it's spot-on

[alexgrazie]

This is the T8, right? Where is that crystal gear changer?
