Supercharged 7-Seater SUV: 2025 Volvo XC90 Review | Test Drive & Family-Friendly Features T8

[@MrPoblijon]

The sound of the B&W audio system is from another world.

[@abdulqureshi4790]

Nice car. Volvo Colchester are very good and I would highly recommend. Getting my car tomorrow.

[@toms_garage]

great video Tish

[@kenhignett1341]

Happy new year Tish, you’re looking beautiful as always.

[@xmarcika]

I had XC90 B6 mild hybrid for a week and it was very pleasing companion for a long motorway rides. Simple yet beautiful interior, puffy air suspension, the car felt surprisingly lightweight, very quiet cabin and excellent seats! Only thing what I was missing, some V6 diesel under the bonnet. Would be perfect for long journeys. 2L engine is okay, just doesn't fit the car and for a "downsizing trend" it's very thirsty. On a motorway around 26mpg with 4 passengers (31mpg in a lorry lane). 3L V6 in a Range Rover can do easily 37mpg. Other than this, the car was fantastic. I wish it would have a better engines.

[@nicolesleeves]

My lovely ride of all time.

[@watchcommander2012]

Had not considered the Volvo XC90 but your excellent review of the plug in hybrid has made me book a test drive.

[@w4buildersltd59]

It looks amazing. A couple years ago I had XC60 for a week when I drove to Cornwall. I guess the sound was from B&W too. It's fantastic! I like your style Tish and you look great. Brilling review.

Happy new year

[@SilvaaaaaAnuhass]

One question, how do you electrically deploy the seats?isnt the 3 rd row fully manual

[@AutoSocialUK]

When I drove the EX90 recently, the 3rd row can be electrically folded. I assumed you’d be able to upgrade this car to do the same but maybe not?

[@Peter-kmt]

happy new year🎉good to see you back Tish❤

[@AutoSocialUK]

Happy new year!! Thank you for coming back!

[@g-forcepcrepair4347]

happy new year Tish and thanks for a great video ! XC 90 is a nice car but would like to see the XC60 plug in

[@P.J.B.769]

Looks great and the interior is lovely but its a bit pricy. Happy New Year Tish.x

[@Jans03451]

you get a harman/kardon not a bang&olufsen sound system as standard.

[@rickyzee8594]

how was the cabin noise and ride quality?

[@gregconnor8777]

Great video. But what is the mpg you achieved.

[@tobbeknallhatt6189]

There is nowadays no supercharger on Volvos chargeable vehicles. Only on the B6 engine.

[@AutoSocialUK]

@@tobbeknallhatt6189 The 2025 Volvo XC90 T8 is a plug-in hybrid SUV which uses both a 2.0-litre petrol engine - boosted by a turbo and a supercharger - and an electric motor fed by a 14.9kWh battery to deliver an impressive 455hp.

[@cruiselee8084]

@@AutoSocialUKthe T8 powertrain has been carried over from previous model year as per volvo website says “You can also use one pedal drive as in a fully electric car. And when you need extra range, you have access to a high-performance petrol engine with advanced e-boost and turbo technology”. Better to do your homework or at least open the bonnet and check yourself rather than copy and paste Wrong information.

[@markgillespie8842]

Nice video x

[@AutoSocialUK]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@markgillespie8842]

@AutoSocialUK you know me tish, always do x

[@ujjwaldhingra4827]

Thanks for the video Tish! Do you (or anyone else) know what’s the purpose of that booster seat - is it just a raised seat?

[@AutoSocialUK]

@@ujjwaldhingra4827 In the UK, children typically need to use a child restraint until they are 12 years old or 135 centimeters tall, whichever comes first. After that, they must wear a seat belt. However, it's recommended to use a booster seat until a child is 150 centimeters tall. So it’s for children who are out of child seats but still need to use a booster ☺️

[@ujjwaldhingra4827]

Great thanks! I have been exploring many SUVs in the lower segment ie, XC 60/40, Kodiaq, Tiguan and none of them has this option. Actually until now, I didn’t know such an option existed. Ciao!

[@simeonbennettphotography]

Excellent car review Tish 👍 such a smart outfit 👌 you have excellent style ❤ hope you have a wonderful day 🫶

[@AutoSocialUK]

Thank you so much 🤗 Happy new year and see you in the next one!

[@MiniEggs1999]

HNY Not for me but this is such a good car. It somehow manages to be massive without being aggressive or imperious. A triumph of design

[@osirisgameomg]

good car

[@garys7828]

Stylish car

[@AutoSocialUK]

Do you like the light interior?

[@Braycegheisar]

Gostei.

[@prakashnarismulu3332]

Geely Volvo make great cars 😅

[@laurentiutrifan8173]

Hi, Tish 💙

[@laurentiutrifan8173]

The hybrid & plug-in-hybrid versons are waay better than pure electric. And a Volvo is a Volvo. So, extra safety for the entire family. A PHEV version with the small engine, though ... with a price under 50 k ... would be a booster for the sales. Also, as a dealer of such cars with PHEV systems ... a solution for charging the batteries overnight in the parking lot of the block - with the help of a professional electric company ... with no extra cost for the customer ... might increase the sales of those models.

[@JamesSmith-qs4hx]

I offset my carbon footprint by living next door to 2 idiots with electric vehicles!. 😉

[@alancobbin]

Education is everything.

[@carolsimmons5205]

Lol😂😂😂 my brother had one of those and the charging station melted his garage door and caught fire! Bad idea. No more electric BS for him. I always drive a big ass trucks. Im a farmer. They take Diesel fuel . My Sunday got to church car is a navigator! My daughter needs a Volvo , she has a baby

[@DeadlyDizzle-yn1vz]

⁠@@carolsimmons5205so he got a dodgy electrical installation and based his line long-term decision on this? Seems legit.

[@barriepountney3598]

Great spec car like the internal colour etc ,just not a fan of the external colour or look😮

[@AnthonyJudge-q2j]

Nice car, beautiful interior as ever from Volvo but the price still too high for many.

[@AutoSocialUK]

Very true point although I guess this is the very biggest product.

[@nickharding1623]

Hi tish happy new year.. what sort of mpg did you get during you time with the car

[@AutoSocialUK]

Hi Nick, I was actually running in electric ALOT of the time, so seeing over 100mog but I imagine it drops right down beyond the 30's when depleted

[@jacktyler5241]

I had the previous model year with the same drivetrain and I got 70mpg on average over 12 months. This is daily round trips under 40 miles on electric only and two 1000 mile drives without recharging. Plus a sprinkling of 100 mile hybrid journeys. Also worth knowing that it’s much colder where I live, I’d expect it to perform better in the UK.

[@nickharding1623]

@jacktyler5241 thanks jack thats really good to know...i do 30 miles each way for work with possibility of also charging here too

[@2626stephen]

Must be a reliable car if you see emergency services using them

[@alistairdodds6156]

Looks like a fancy tractor

[@hamshackleton]

Notice how long her eyes were off the road whilst she was poking buttons on the screen, trying to change drive modes! - - -The interior makes you feel cocooned - in other words, cramped up! I can't see how you can supercharge an electric motor. A supercharger is an air compressor before the carby, without the lag of a turbo - thus injecting more fuel AND air into the cylinders - which an electric motor doesn't have!

[@brussel4242]

5.4 seconds. Should have bought a Jag F-Pace P400E 😂

[@UncleBobbyBob]

🤣 Supercharged electric motor 🤣

[@GambitXJS]

All this talk about turbos and superchargers all Volvos are restricted to 112mph, so it's all pretty pointless.

[@Dinche562]

Why I cant see the back of the car and you call this car review?

[@AutoSocialUK]

@@Dinche562 5.11 to see the back. Or you could Google it? There isn’t really much to comment on

[@richardhampson2435]

I can't stand the Google infestation on modern Volvo's. Honestly, its rubbish (XC-60 22' owner)

[@deputydd4364]

I have to disagree! I also have a new Google tech Volvo and find it great as it has inbuilt Spotify, Waze, Audible + many more apps so I've never even had to use Apple Carplay (if you use Apple Music that would be a pain as it does not have that built in).
