Thinking of buying the 2016 Volvo XC90?
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2016 Volvo XC90 for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. This page sets out the 2016 Volvo XC90 for buyers, in plain words.
A buyer's checks
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Owners filed 197 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, electrical system and unknown or other; have those parts checked.
The numbers in plain words
The 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo supercharged hybrid is what moves it, with all-wheel drive. It is a plug-in hybrid: it runs on electricity for a short distance, then on gas like a regular hybrid. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.
At 9.4 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 28 litres of fuel. On electricity alone it is rated for about 563 km before the gas engine takes over. That works out to about $14.57 per 100 km at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,300 a year for 15,000 miles.
Good uses for the XC90
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. Families, skiers and anyone with bulky luggage.
Inside and out
Being a full-size SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent first, buy later: a week with the XC90 answers the big questions. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Try the XC90 on your commute, then decide.
Year and trim
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
What it costs to run
A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Still deciding?
