It seems the Volvo XC90, even though it’s still basically a big SUV, has a lot of mass appeal, because we haven’t really heard one bad word about it. Reviews portray it as this kind of great alternative to other vehicles its size, with great looks, safety and efficiency to win over buyers.
The Dutch reviewer from AutoWeek gets to try out both the D5 and T8 models, and unsurprisingly loves both of them. The diesel is apparently hushed and pokey, while the T8 hybrid is properly quick, sprinting to 100 km/h or 62 mph in 6 seconds.
It’s also the interior that seems to get a lot of attention, and in particular the touchscreen infotainment system. The screen is probably the biggest and boldest unit in automotive use, aside from the one you find inside a Tesla.
