Volvo XC90: The SUV that did its homework

[@benjamindoyle668]

This was a groundbreaking car, not just for Volvo, but for the whole industry. Twenty-two years after its debut, it still looks modern. It's still super-safe and super-tough. It was a timeless design and I'm sure it will be considered a classic 'early family SUV' in the future. I will always remember them fondly.

[@VolvoCars]

Thank you for your kind words! Have you driven one yourself? /Millie

[@andlid]

100% would agree but they had some poor engines / gearboxes in their lineup, had a 2012 D3 2WD was the best car I've ever owned ❤ though 🎉

It is definitely a hard choice! We hope you get your passion red one 🙌 /Millie

[@joelbolton7252]

I almost teared up watching this. I have so many good memories of this car, my family had several over the years. They were special cars, and designed with so much humanity and solidity. A revolution for the brand and a model SUV for what the future of safe utility vehicles could be. Legendary for Volvo and the world, I'll always remember our XC90's.

We hope to see you behind the wheel of a new Volvo XC90 in the furture! /Anthony

I've only 2003 2.4 Diesel XC90 in Turkey. It was a import from Italy, I found it. Car made me learn Italy since I can't change language or open navigation(which works in EU). 165HP 5-gear MK1 edition. Only car I could afford with 2-3X taxes on cars here. It looks amazing, security guard in my workplace thinks I'm general manager or something when I come in while I barely make life lol. It never gets old. It's small and big at the same time in small streets of Istanbul. It's at 332.458 kilometres at the moment. I needed tranmission maintenance and engine maintenance just to be safe but never costed that much. Rear park sensors are death. Radio died too but I don't care. Everyone thinks I'm a family guy while I'm 29 years old single man.

[@haybail51]

Best brand on the market. My family still owns a 2007 Volvo xc90 V8 sport. and had it for a long time it has 280k km on it and haven't done major repairs. When people say what is your dream car and for many years never gave them an answer until this video. It fills that love for cars to the max. I love Volvo. Volvo for life.

Used to work for Volvo for around six years, and this one has always been one of my favorite vehicles to drive, especially considering how old it is now.I love the design, as well as the interior, and the amount of innovations safety wise that this vehicle has brought to the rest of the industry is incredible. I also really like how during the time period when this vehicle was developed, Volvo was owned by Ford, so the folks over at Land Rover came over to Volvo and helped them out a ground work from which they could build on

[@VolvoCars]

Lovely to hear this, Timmy! The Volvo S90 is my favourite model. Do you drive Volvo now? /Jade

[@Jezzrichjames]

[@VinDieselS70]

The XC90 MK1 reminds very much of a very modern version of the old TP21 the military used. Especially the front section but whether that's where the design language comes from I'm not sure but the TP 21 was probably an SUV in modern terms. Note, a TP21 or Sugga as it was called, the Show, is used by Red Bull at one of their many events.

Since 2021, Volvo Cars has been publicly listed on the Nasdaq Stockholm stock exchange, adhering to regulations and financial laws in Sweden. Geely Holding retains majority ownership through its Swedish-registered company Geely Holding Sweden. Since Geely Holding’s acquisition of Volvo Cars in 2010, Volvo Cars has operated on a standalone basis with a governance totally independent from Geely Holding. When Volvo Cars collaborates with companies within Geely Holding, all transactions are carried out on an arm’s length. /Jade

[@Lambda76]

@@VolvoCars Hi Liz! Yes! I find the V40 to be the perfect size car for my journeys, mostly commuting and inner city driving with a bit of motorway use as well. Both the interior and exterior design is beautiful with attention to detail, quality and comfort often missing from other hatchback cars. The interior design and lights could be modernised and there could be a bit more leg room for rear passengers but apart from that the V40 is pretty great car already! Still looks great in 2024!
