r/VolvoXC90

Hey everyone,

The front passenger door glass on my leased 2025.5 Volvo XC90 Hybrid chipped and has now fully cracked. Because it is the thicker, acoustic laminated glass, a full replacement will likely be expensive.

I have the Volvo Excess Wear and Tear Use Addendum ($0 deductible plan), but the fine print (Exclusion #1) states it excludes damage covered by standard auto insurance unless the total repair cost is under $1,000.
I want to know:

1. Has anyone gotten a full laminated side-window replacement waived under this package? Or did Volvo deny it because it cost over $1,000?
2. How much did you pay out-of-pocket or via insurance for this specific glass?
3. What other options should I explore? Should I file an insurance claim now, source a used OEM window from a salvage yard for an indie shop to install, or is there another workaround to avoid a massive bill at turn-in?

Appreciate any advice or past experiences!

Hi,
I wanted to check if anyone interested to get 4 set of used 22inch rims from 2022 Xc 90 T8 R design?

I’m planning to downgrade to 20inch wheels and set of 4 new tires.

Location: DFW area.
Can meet at a common location in north Fortworth/ Denton/ Southlake/ Flower Mound area.

Hello

I'm thinking about switching my rav 4 2017 to xc90 plug in hybrid. My rav has 9 years 107k miles. No issues other than normal oil change or break change etc.

I've only ever owned Toyota.

How reliable are these cars?

What is the expected maintenance?

I will be buying certified pre-owned instead of new.

Ideally I will keep this car for 10 years and about 100k miles. I understand that standard maintenance will be more expensive due it being a European car but outside standard maintenance and normal wear and tear of the car what a looking to spend here?

I'm based in the west coast USA.

Hey there!

We’re looking to purchase a used XC90 and have narrowed it down to these two options. I was initially leaning toward the 2024 with the V-spoke wheels, blonde interior, and Harman Kardon sound system, but I’m now considering the base 2025.5 model because of the newer infotainment system. I also much prefer the blond 2024 interior over the cardamom…

We only drive about 5,000 miles a year, almost all city driving. I absolutely love the blonde interior and the potential for a better sound system in the 2024, but I’m worried we might regret not getting the newer infotainment.

For context, I’m coming from a 2017 BMW 330i, which I love and am only giving up because my husband doesn’t want to drive the “family bus.” 😂 He’ll be taking my 330i, and we’ll get rid of our 2016 XC60 as part of the switch.

Better equipped 2024 or base 2025.5?

Hi
I am planning to buy the plug in Hybrid XC90
I don’t see much recommendation on the best year to buy …. I don’t trust YouTuber as seems they get money for making biased recommendations… everyone talks about bout Lexus XT as best 7 seater car ever … I drove it and didn’t like it ..
AI recommending to get the 2023 + with the ERAD 3 as previous one keep failing not sure because it’s unreliable or people ignore fluid change or leaving the battery with no charge …also not sure what the most appropriate trim to invest in … people says the air suspension is firm … no idea !
Any recommendations are highly appreciated !
I see used 2023 going for good price

Looking for recommendations on a good rear facing baby mirror. I’ve tried two off Amazon, and both used straps to mount on the headrest. I have it pretty tight and still shakes constantly when driving down the road. Anyone have one they’re happy with that stays stable?

I have been trying to keep up with the reviews and complaints, but worried i may be missing something.

Maintained records:
-I’m guessing timing belt is due at this mileage
-any other biggies?

Failures:
-been reading about the AC problems, expansion valve failure I believe. Odd part to fail in a system, but it seems there are two separate AC circuits, with potential failure for the front and rear refrigerant lines, very expensive repair. Is this a problem for the 2017 T8? Any quick check here? I suppose the problem could be masked by a seller by recharging the AC system to make up for the leak in the short term.
-air suspension? I have never owned a vehicle with air suspension before. Not sure what to look out for, the failure rates, etc, but I assume it is a costly repair.
-battery pack?
-any other big issues to look out for?

Thanks for any help you ask can offer.

(Edited to add air suspension and battery pack to the list of potential concerns)

Hello guys, I got a 2019 XC90 T6 Inscription(Polestar Tuned) a couple of months ago and I am in love with it.

I can’t get over B&W and started having my morning coffee in the car with some 70’s Rock music.

It took me a while to find this car at the price that I needed but my neurodivergent mind can’t stop thinking about the optional massage seats and heated steering.

I thought the T6 Inscription Polestar tuned with BW was fully loaded, I was not aware about the Lounge pack and climate pack.

Are there cars which have all these specs? I know plenty of B6 models do but I love the extra few horse power that I get with the Polestar variant and also the toggle switch to change modes.

The newer XC90s don’t appeal to me compared to the previous generations.

Thanks

My late 2018 ZC90 T6 160k has started to have a squeak, every time I go over bump or divot in the road.
Only really noticeable when the windows are down, but otherwise can’t really hear it inside the cabin.
Was thinking it was bushes or suspension, hoping it a not air suspension…
I’ve rocked the car side to side when parked, by grabbing the roof racks but no squeaks.

Recent service the mechanic couldn’t diagnose it, I find a lot of mechanics don’t spend the time to check something out thoroughly, it’s like “just have it towed here when it stops working”.

Funny enough at slow speeds when you hit speed bumps it doesn’t make the sound, more when I’m moving at speed and hit small undulations, bumps, divots etc.

Drives completely fine, no steering vibration, or other issues. No fault codes.

Anyone else had any squeaks like this?
What would be the best approach to hunting down the issue? Go to a specialist suspension place?

Looking for some data points on leases for the T8 plug in hybrid. Looking at some pricing on the Santa Monica dealer webiste I'm seeing the T8 plus for around 950/1000 a month after tax with around 7k down. The Volvo we site has the T8 core for 669 a month pretax or something like that. I know I've seen people post their lease rates on here for closer to 750. Is this just a matter of haggling? 1000 a month seems quite high for lease of a 77k vehicle. Thanks.
