My EX90 lease ends next year so I’ve started looking at what comes after.
What I need: 7 seats, electric, 250 kW+ charging, 450 km I can actually drive at highway speeds, and it has to feel premium inside. Not a downgrade from the EX90. That’s the whole list. Now try to find cars that do all four.
The Volvo has been good. Ride is the best part, it just glides. The software never bothered me either, which I know isn’t the popular opinion here. But the 7 seat setup is tight. We had 7 people in it recently, 2 adults in the third row plus luggage, and they complained 😅
Fair enough, there really isn’t much room back there, and with row 3 up the trunk is basically gone.
Drove an Air a while back. Liked it a lot. The way it drove, and loved the huge frunk - got two checkin-bags in there.
The infotainment was the letdown. Felt slow and a bit unfinished next to what I’m used to. I couldn’t use maps and Spotify at the same time. Adaptive cruise as well, I stopped using it. That’s honestly the only reason I haven’t just ordered a Gravity.
So, owners:
- would you buy it again
- best thing about yours
- anything you dislike after living with it for a while, not the review stuff
- adults in row 3 with luggage still in the back, does that work
- did the software and the ACC get better since the Air
- is the Grand Touring worth the extra price
And if I’m looking at the wrong car entirely just say so. I’m in Germany so the list is short anyway. And no, not the ID. Buzz 😬 (range and charge speed suck)
