Ever own one? How is maintenance? Am I stuck going to the dealership only because weird engineering? Would you buy another one? Any cool bells and whistles?

I drive an Acura TSX right now and it’s too small and we have a 3 month old and will be trying for #2 next year.

Have a buddy who runs a Volvo dealership but really don’t know much else about the brand or the XC-90.

Have a 2018. Maintenance is covered in our lease but no issues. We love it

We have 50k on the SPA XC60 with no issues. Dealer service since the whole thing is a computer, they upload the latest operating system. You’ll notice minor dash changes. We go to a Mobile instead of NOLA now.

Bought ours online, had it built and delivered to the dealer. Options can get spendy.


I’d get the V90XC before the XC90, just because the wagons are so damn cool.

Owned by the Chinese now.

Nice vehicles but I would not buy one when I could have a Lexus or GMC Denalli.

Not everyone likes wagons.

Maintenance was not crazy, drives very smooth

Very safe. My wife totaled it and all kids walked away fine.

Those 90’s turbo wagons were badass back in the day. But yeah, I haven’t seen a wagon in a long time.

They’re really wide with lots of ground clearance. They look really cool in person, mostly because they’re just so dimensionally...different.

It's on the short list for my wife's next vehicle.

I tend to lean Lexus, but the closest one is in Baton Rouge, and I don't want to have to make that drive for maintenance.

I’ve tried to find the differences between the inscription and momentum packages but haven’t had much luck.

Had one as a rental. Was impressed. The center console is Teslaesque. Drives extremely smoothly. If I was planning to get a new car, the XC 40 is probably what I'd go with just because it's a bit smaller.
