What owners have to say

Based on 50 reviews

"Owners buy the XC90 for space and comfort: three rows of seats, a boot big enough for family luggage and a dog, and a solid, easy going feel on long journeys. Several mention engine drone, a small phone display and suspension that thumps over potholes, and a minority have had electrical and mechanical faults. A big, safe family car that most owners love."

What do you love most about your car?

3 rows of seats was the reason for buying the car in the first place. Love how solid the car feels. Comfortable seats.

If you could change one thing about your car, what would it be?

The driver seat heating system doesn't work properly anymore. Burns very very hot. Therefore I don't ever use that feature for fear of it catching on fire.

What would you say would be your overall verdict on this car?

Really great family car for families of 3 or more. Really easy to manipulate different configurations.

Steve's Verdict

A superb family flagship: spacious, safe and relaxing. Hybrid versions powerful but thirsty. Interior quality felt Scandinavian-cool. Not sporty, but one of the best big SUVs around.

The three-point seatbelt was gifted to the world in 1959, an open patent credited with saving over a million lives—defining a safety-first ethos owners still feel today.

Scandinavian design principles—light, simplicity, natural textures—are applied to reduce cognitive load, so cabins feel like relaxing spaces rather than dashboards demanding attention.
