Compare torque # and where peaks are.

Friend,

Unless it is a Christmas ornament, furniture, or dining ware, if it is made in Europe, I stay away from it. Cars are especially in the category to avoid. European cars are terribly designed, especially Volvo.

Yours,

Just expand, those larger motors will have smoother power delivery, it won’t be notchy, and that power will come earlier.

They’re more drivable.

I rented an XC-90 back in February. It‘s a good looking car and the interior is well done.

I didn’t love it though.

It didn’t have as much power as I wanted, I didn’t like the intrusive driver aids, and I thought the touchscreen interface was clunky.

While it’s much more expensive, the X7 is more polished, and a lot more fun to drive.

I rented one a few years ago in the UK and liked it well enough even though it was by far the largest thing around on the road there, it was a diesel which I dont think you can buy in the US.

Wife and I both said we would consider it next time we needed a ride and it is hard to please both of us with the same vehicle.

Xc90 and it’s competitors are large vehicles made to haul families and their belongings.

The 4 cyl is fine for stop n go on the streets.

But with a family of 4 on the highway, you’ll much prefer a turbo or supercharged v6.

They do make a 400hp T8 model.

Their XC90 Excellence version is slick.
