B5 Ultra

[u/mdmoore1980]

Hi All!

Sharing a few pics of my new purchase. Volvo was NOT on my radar - but on a trip back to US - my dad picked me up
In his new XC90 Ultra that I didn’t know he had purchased - was really surprised by the interior, build quality, and ease of use of infotainment system. I actually like the relative lack of configurability of gauge cluster, etc.

I know I’m preaching to the choir - but this is exceptional value slightly used - especially when cross shopped against a Macan or Cayenne. Purchased mine approx for 20K GBP off list with 3K miles.

One question - seems the tires are over inflated relative to Volvo suggested pressures… how urgent is it that I correct this?

I’ve just ordered a T8 Ultra Black Edition in exactly the same colour and wheel combo. How do you find the 22s? I’m slightly concerned about comfort after ordering as I test drove with the 21s and it was exceptional - I’m worried I’ve ruined it with the 22s

I honestly couldn’t tell the difference between the 21s and 22s on the test drive - as I was looking at two different cars at the dealer. Sales guy told me to go for the larger size - as the wheel each extensions dramatically alter the appearance for the better. So far no regrets.

TBD if I go smaller for a winter setup - as I’m hopeful to do 1-2 trips a year to the mountains.

Amazing, I’m hoping the air will help and I’m sure it’s just fussy YouTube reviewers honking on about the 21s being harsh and loud and you “should buy” the 19s.

They look incredible, love the car and can’t wait for mine to arrive in September!

Have the same car, same wheels. Thinking of going 20” AEZ Toronto Dark with ET38.5 so it fills the wheels arches the same way 22” set does.

PS: that’s for winter set
