Ben, Do you know how fast the XC90 Recharge can go in Electric mode only?

[@ivanlowjones]

My OCD was triggered by that crooked Polestar liftgate badge at the 03:10 videomark.

[@CrumResearch]

still only 18 kWh battery capacity?

[@Aschoolbusandsimulatorfan2219]

As a Volvo fan: I might buy it one day Ben.

2023 Volvo XC90 T8 Recharge eAWD Plus Polestar Engineered!

[@rachaad]

Thank you for the review. I’m considering doing the Care by Volvo subscription service. I think this is the best options of not leasing nor financing…also are there latch in 3rd row for child seats ?

[@BenHardyCars]

I didn’t check for seat latches

[@rachaad]

@@BenHardyCars hey can you start checking for us parents when you review family haulers . So helpful

[@leninmoreno4020]

@@rachaad went to check out a mild hybrid yesterday and I can confirm that there are no latches in the third row. The salesman told us that none of the models have them. Very disappointing

[@rachaad]

@@leninmoreno4020 that is disappointing. Thank you

I live in South Africa and we have planned black outs of 6 -10 hour's per day.i need a car that can power my home and or shop. Like a generator

[@dolguldur4706]

This is the car ben should buy instead of the broken defender 😬

[@BenHardyCars]

Lol

[@Mikewakelyn]

I am sorry man, that colour wood trim looks absolutely abhorent! It takes a really beautiful car and makes it look like they ran out of materials when they got to the trim, so they just found some left over plywood in the garden, varnished it and stuck it on. Looks really cheap to me! Got this exact model being built now for delivery next month. Ash coloured trim though... 😜

[@VCHAuMiner]

What octane number is recommended?

[@steffo8581]

95 E10

[@Salanan]

Why does this grill, look completely different from all the other xc90 recharges i've seen?

[@redaserhane6349]

T8

[@riccardoman1973]

​@@redaserhane6349 no cause T8 it's because R design infact also front bumper has the so called shark mouth. In Europe you can get the same layout also with the D5 diesel engines

[@redaserhane6349]

@@riccardoman1973 thanks for this info👊👊👊👊

[@DesertTriDad]

Our XC90 recharge flat out died, turning into a brick twice within the first 5k miles. The electric heater broke on it, which they told us there is not definitive fix for and the part is backordered. Was in the shop for 30 days of the first 5 months we had it. And we weren’t alone. We hired a lawyer and they even ghosted our lawyer. He said they are typically a very responsive company, but I guess they are getting so many suits filed they can’t even keep up. AVOID at all cost. Not luxury, and certainly not safe (which is why we bought it in the first place).

[@weirdshibainu]

As a multi model Volvo owner, this is very disappointing. I wish you the best of luck in your efforts

[@chief27]

@@weirdshibainu The new models are crap, they don’t build them the same after the Chinese take over

[@harriska]

Only had a drivetrain problem and one battery issues in 7 years with out t8, upgrading in less than a month with an ultimate

[@harriska]

@@chief27 I would disagree. They have become much better especially the infotainment

[@scottm.9335]

Any update 10 months later?

[@somejackball]

how come my town doesnt haven any european dealers? we have japanese: nissan , toyota and honda, but no european. why is that? be nice to have Bmw, Volkswagen at least. but we haven't had a VW dealer since like 72 or so.

[@jeffforbess6802]

I want to like Volvo, but they’ve been horrible since Ford bought them nearly two decades ago.

[@dolguldur4706]

They own by geely now...and they gave volvo freedom to built their own cars...volvo nowadays is so much better compare to back when they under ford

[@MercOne]

Still looks good, but she is getting tired looking. Volvo's engine lineup is a joke compared to the competition.

[@Quinton0520]

still looks better than any lexus

[@Babu-of2xh]

you laugh like u r the owner of RR car company

[@juanamartinez6916]

You talk WAY TOO FAST and unclear!

[@chief27]

Another piece of garbage vehicle, from reliability point of view... A friend's father has one and after dead end communication with the dealer about window seals related problem, finally he filled a lawsuit against Volvo USA
