Is the 2022 Volvo XC90 Recharge the KING of midsize luxury SUVs?

[@mattmekhaeil]

Volvos are underrated cars. They are sleek and unique looking not many people talk about them

[@knowthyself8233]

For real

[@omarcortes5754]

Bought one of these for my parents and they loved it. Very easy to drive and it is super comfortable.

[@grizzly2880]

batman out here casually dropping 70K for his parents car lol

[@brianlee9233]

Loved these XC90s a lot and I still do.

[@johntriebe7441]

A few corrections to your review. The engine is turbocharged and produces 455hp and 523 ft-lbs of torque. Also, the all electric range on the sticker is 36 miles, but I routinely get 40 miles in mine. This is my second XC90 having owned a 2017 XC90 T6 Polestar (that I loved), and this car is better, much better. I've now got almost 4900 miles on mine and have an overall average fuel economy of 36 mpg. Full charge on a 220 volt circuit takes under six hours.

[@issavibez394]

More than plenty power

[@ThePomskysPalace]

This has been top 3 on my list for a long time. Volvos are so underrated.

[@mystictk4149]

Man that is actually a really good-looking SUV, I'll already give it a good solid rating.

[@mariowhyte2816]

Maaaaaaaan Volvo sure knows how to make a timeless design for their fleet!!! It's been around for a while now but still looks fresh!!! Reliability concerns aside, it's a beast!!! Interior is great, that powertrain is a headscratcher to say the least...They literally threw everything in there but a kitchen sink lol Awesome review Joe and Lori and Steven!!!

[@bruceleggett568]

Got mine 2 months ago and I couldn’t be more impressed, its just so bad ass.

[@LuvvSURYA]

I heard Volvo brought the extended range version of XC90 recharge where they eliminated the supercharger and replaced that with electric boost feature. And they also employed a larger battery (not completely sure about that data). Though, it’s weird Volvo does not offer fog lamps on XC90 for US marker. They offer fog lamps at the bottom of the bumper of XC90 is most other markets.

[@danielcorry4136]

The fog lamps aren’t on the T8 recharge as apparently they use that space for some cooling ducts.

[@joubaierjoubert7748]

When it launched they did have cornering / fog lamps but one thing to know about Volvo is as their models age they simplify them we should see all the bells and whistles on the new model which is coming right around the corner

[@LuvvSURYA]

@@joubaierjoubert7748 : Yes, Volvo’s car are timeless and age very gracefully. But here’s the thing, Volvo still offers those fog lamps in some markets. At least, here in India, the 2022 Volvo XC90 comes with fog lamps that are otherwise not offered on the US spec.

[@LuvvSURYA]

@@danielcorry4136 : Maybe the US models are no longer offered with fog lamps but Volvo still offers fog lamps on all its variants in certain market. At least, in India, XC90 recharge comes with fog lamps. And the space for fog lamps is not used as a cooling duct. It’s simply closed.

[@bruceleggett568]

@@LuvvSURYA the manual says the battery cooling system is in that spot.

hey Joe, how come you not at chevy booth reviewing the new blazer EV

[@remander3873]

My wife has one of the XC90s with the turbo/supercharged engines, and it only has around 300 HP. She loves it. I have to say that Volvo makes some of the best seats in the business. Looking at the Recharge when she trades in December. Thanks for the review!

[@HansDelbruck53]

No vehicle with VOL in the name can be all bad. Go Vols!

[@arhamkhakwani5851]

Used to own an XC90. A 2009 model with the 3.2. Wished I kept it longer cuz that thing was the KING in snow! Only sold it because maintenance issues.

[@tomdrummy4984]

Looking good…….for $75k it should be 😊. I think these plug in hybrids have to work on a slightly longer range for electric only. 50 ish miles ?

[@jeffs6090]

Next year's Volvo phev models will have 50 miles of electric only range.

[@jetblackgtp]

Honestly most people only travel 30 miles a day. We are averaging over 100 mpgs with our extended range. The car is amazing and you get the $7500 federal tax credit.

[@bruceleggett568]

This gets over 40 with regen easily,.

[@BigBadRivi]

My wife and I have the gas XC90 and we’re looking to swap it out with the PHEV. Great review!

I know nobody commented on that!! Would let him rub my wood after a long hard day

Is this the late release of the 2022 Volvo or the early release ?

[@MaxNgari]

[@danielcorry4136]

I think they don’t mount the rear wiper on the top because it would push water up not down and then it would continually drip down the rear window.

[@James-BB70]

Thank you for this detailed review, the best I have seen for this model.

[@Andrewatyourservice]

Volvo doesn’t do electrical assisted steering wheel adjustments because it’s less safe in a collision.

[@remander3873]

BTW, Joe, you can also put down the second row seats to make even more room.

[@MathieuLarocque]

Orange Tic Tacs are my go to! We need to hear your story!

Omg you’re driving through my old neighborhood when i was a kid. Haha I know where you are going by watching the roads on the video. So cool

[@cyrilmatthew2995]

Good old robust 5 cylinders .. even a Yamaha V8 ... Manual transmission awds and safety ... Am I missing something here ? I reckon raiti might recommend new Cherokee phev over this ...

[@d3j051]

I enjoy your reviews, Raiti. I think the engine in this Volvo is turbocharged and supercharged. I considered this vehicle but ultimately went with the BMW X5 45e because of the BMW having the awesome straight 6 versus Volvo 4 cylinder and the BMW is rated at 31 miles electric while the Volvo is only 20 miles and that makes a big difference to us in our use case. I think we would have enjoyed the Volvo, but I don't see how it would be as enjoyable as the X5 45e.

[@benjaminsmith2287]

No more supercharged. Now it is an electric motor providing more juice at the low end.

[@Sir_Gizmo91]

The Volvo can now do 36miles on pure electric only. They got rid of the supercharger and increased the battery capacity. The horsepower is now 455. That's more than the BMW.

[@Spoolingturbski]

He really said you can rub your wood after a long day and left it in lol. Also. The engine is a turbocharged 4 cylinder.

[@kevinkdny6428]

It cost me $1450.00 to change the passenger side mirror at the Volvo dealership. It charged 3 hrs of labor cost. They charge the same rate as MB.

[@RaitisRides]

Oh wow! That is insane!

[@BamaPatriot61]

I like the XC90, but don’t really much about Volvo from a reliability and total cost of. Ownership perspective. If you were throwing down your cash for a SUV in this price range, what would you buy? X5, Q7, GV80, QX60, MDX S type or some other model?

[@benjaminsmith2287]

Car was introduced way back in 2015 I believe. It was really striking in its day and it has aged well. But, at this point, I welcome the new-gen EV version of this vehicle. This is now becoming something of a classic car but it some ways it is showing its age.

[@DeadTreeDropOff]

ok, you got me. i actually laughed out loud at 6:44

Thanks for an informative program. For $75K I would rather look into the competition vs this Volvo. Third row sitting not useful, screen small, no telescoping steering wheel, hard to get the third row back seats up. In my opinion eliminating the third row sitting would have been a better option. However really love the exterior look & body.

[@ghost-4230]

Kia Sorento PHEV SX Prestige is a better value ($25K less) with more EV only range. Less power and towing but if it's only for family hauling it's a better overall value. We looked at both and went with the Kia

[@rahimi4762]

Wayyy less luxurious. Wayyy less engineered and sturdy. Actually the Kia is over priced and over reaching. This vehicle is 40k better

The Kia isn’t a luxury suv. Two different vehicles for two different price points.

I love Volvo automobiles seem they are not talked about much liie other expensive cars.

Back in 2019 wanted XC60 still think a great looking crossover sad this brand is underrated couldn't agree more like other commenter.

Worst plugin setup Volvo plug in hybrids have. Max charge rate at 3.7Kw makes it hard for a quick charge and use it on pure electric. 5-6 hours to charge it at 220v.

No. It is not the best. It was the best more than ten years ago. But since that time a lot of money fly away. I buy this model only with diesel engine because it is safe and reliable and for my squawa not for myself. In our region happened a car excident an old Volvo smashed into the three on full speed (drunk teenagers), all the doors were jammed everyone was alive, the gasoline engine caught fire and they burned alive, around the drivers tried to put out but to no avail. Hence the moral: do not drink and drive and drive a diesel.
