r/VolvoXC90

Got a 2023 B5 Plus CPO with 30k miles on it for 36.8k + taxes + registration. No hidden fees or charges.

22 months of warranty left.

I was quoted $5995 for extended warranty for 9years/150k miles for $250 deductible. - this felt elevated, so asked them for a day or two for me to decide.

They also said these are the only options. I told them I will only drive the car for 8k miles a year, so $6k felt excessive, and 150k mile coverage doesn’t make sense to me. What I asked was lower mileage coverage, like 10years/100k, and they said not available.

Also asked if I want to buy maintenance plan, which is for $4k for 4 years. I said no.

Should I go look for warranty else where?

Has anyone else experienced this with their XC90 - specifically we have a 2025.5 XC90 Recharge.

The sound in our car completely stops working - not just the infotainment/audio, but also the turn signal clicks, backup sensor alerts, and other system sounds.

It started shortly after we bought the car, but a soft reset (holding the home button for ~30 seconds) would usually fix it. About a month ago, that stopped working altogether. We took it to the dealer for our one-year service, they did a software update, and everything worked again.

Now, just 3 weeks later, it’s happening again - unfortunately right at the start of a road trip.

Has anyone else dealt with this? Were you able to get a permanent fix? It seems pretty crazy that a brand-new, very expensive car would have an issue like this.

Howdy! Looking to buy a used XC90 and trying to get some advice before purchasing. Any years or engines to stay away from? Any features you regret not getting? Any advice in general would be appreciated, thanks!

Good morning - yesterday I installed a CURT trailer hitch on my 2020 Volvo XC90 as well as the FCP sourced Trailer Hitch Control Module (for models with aftermarket tow hitch). Installation of the hardware went smoothly. The hardware engineers are cheering.

I installed VIDA on a MacBook Air (Apple Silicon) / Windows 11. I bridged the USBC Network adapter connected to a VOE OBD to Ethernet cable, and VIDA saw the Volvo/allowed me to download the appropriate software update. The installation failed at 11% in the preparing state. The car power cycled numerous times during this process. In reviewing the VIDA log files, there are numerous connection issues - leading up to the failed installation.

All of this to say, I've made an appointment to have VOLVO flash the module. A few things I was considering doing:

• Installing on an x86/Windows laptop and trying again.
• Installing a switch between the VOE OBD to Ethernet and the laptop, as I've read some people indicate this stabilizes the connection.

I have a recent issue with my stop start no longer working in my 2018. I don't care about that specifically, but I am worried about the underlying cause.

I took it in to the dealer and they tested both batteries and they came back at 100% healthy which I'm skeptical of. They didn't seem interested in figuring out the root cause. I've been looking into it further with v-tool and I see two things. 1) my state of charge when running is around 60% which I think would inhibit start/stop based on what I've read and 2) the car thinks my main battery is over 8 years old. The car is new to me and I have no record of the main battery being changed. It appears to be an oem battery. The support battery is a Duracell brand so it got changed at some point.

Are there any other checks I can do with something like v-tool before spending 400$ on a battery? I have Vida setup but my subscription has lapsed. Can I see the specific reason start/stop is inhibited or any more information about the battery if I'm on Vida?

There doesn't appear to be anything wrong with the climate system for example, but I'd like to try to rule that out as a potential cause.

Is there a trick to keep it from changing? I prefer the lowest setting, but it changes in the middle of my drives and gets stiffer. I’ll usually toggle between comfort and individual to get it to go back to the lower force. Why does it change so often?

I'm having a trouble and moral dilemma here.
Looking to buy car with more space (currently driving VW Tiguan 2024 R line 4M).

Budget is around 50k.
I've got a deal from my seller for new VW Tayron R-line 4M 2.0 TDI with some optional extras like HD matrix lights, HUD+15" screen and spare tire, DCC pro etc. The only thing it doesn't have is Harman Kardon, panoramic roof (not even like it) and leather seats. Tayron is coming with 5year warranty plus optional extension, and VW assistance on the road trough Europe (if your car stops they give you other one to use it).
Price is 53900€.

On the other hand I'm looking on used Volvo XC90 2023 diesel, with around 20k km in plus dark or bright variant with Harman Kardon nice materials, maybe even air suspension etc. Price depends but around 50000€ you can find descent one (even as Volvo Select vehicle with warranty up to 3 years).

The dilemma that I have is XC90 is now old design (2015) although I still like the look of it, plus it's premium.
VW Tayron has some nice features and it's brand new plus the design is from last year (2025) basically.

As I've said I'm currently driving new generation VW Tiguan R-Line (the same spec for Tayron I'll get from a dealer) but I want more space for the rear pax and more trunk space.
I understand that XC90 and Tayron are different categories however when it comes to rear pax and trunk space they are neck to neck (Tayron even slightly better).

Plan is to drive them both to around 100k km or until 2030. Diesel is a must also as I drive more than 20k km per year on the motorway mainly.
I'm focused mainly on family comfort and safety (both XC90 and Tayron has their own advantages), also everyday practicality and the easiness of selling later on the car with descent resale value.

What is your opinion, what would you choose between those two considering my facts and why would you choose (or not) each one of them?
I'm not looking into any other vehicles.
