I caved, the amenities and allure of sweet sweet Volvo luxury won out and we bought a stupidly expensive vehicle to replace the downright utilitarian by comparison !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . Meet our yet to be named swedish meatball.

This vehicle is a 2019 XC90 T6 Inscription with Polestar tuning. There is a model above it, I don’t think it matters as this has everything outside of the crystal shift knob, including:

Luxury Package

4 Corner Air Suspension W/Four-C Active Chasis

Bowers & Wilkins Premium Sound

21 inch 8-Spoke Silver Bright Diamond Cut wheels

Heated Steering Wheel & Rear Seats

Grocery bag holder

2nd Row Integrated Center Booster Cushion

Advance Package

Out of all of that needless goody bag of options the $3200 stereo really takes the needless opulence cake. The lux package including massaging seats is a nice touch.

The 325HP and 354lb/ft of torque really make things fun via Polestar’s tuning prowess.

I’m personally looking forward to the driver assistance features the most but really oh god what I have I done to my checkbook...

congrats! hope you enjoy it... I’m sure you will. Persuaded my cousin to get an XC90 when they redesigned it a few years ago and she loves it. And then a few months ago my parents replaced their WK2 Grand Cherokee with an XC60. If you have any questions about using the infotainment system or anything about the car let me know.

Also I think your kids will appreciate the 3rd row being actually usable in something this size. They’re roomy inside and it’s not overwhelmingly large.

It’s all that “Genuine wood dashboard insert, Genuine wood door panel insert” goodness.

Congrats!

I was pushing hard for one of these, but Mrs. Saracen wanted the MDX.

Yeah I guess where i live some people would have problems with its size...guess not a problem in NA.

So as long as she doesn’t mind a four pot she only has to get to grips with the infotainment... should be easy enough.

Brown seats are where it is at.

We got kind of an awkward deal on this one so other “brand new” cars were hard to measure up. This is a CPO with 14,000 miles on it.

Agree, these aren’t as good as last generation but the adjustable leg bolster is nice.

the 4cyl is palpable with the Polestar tune and 93 octane gas, though just for me. keep in mind she’s coming from a WK2 Diesel Grand Cherokee (read: really really slow). The infotainment was a breeze to get used to on our test drive so I suspect she’ll be fine.
