The 2017 Volvo XC90 for buyers
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2017 Volvo XC90 for sale by us right now. Before buying the 2017 Volvo XC90, read what the figures say and how to try one first.
Before you sign for the XC90
Owners filed 80 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, unknown or other and electrical system; have those parts checked. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
The numbers in plain words
The 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo supercharged hybrid, paired with an 8-speed automatic, drives it. 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.
By the EPA's combined rating of 9.4 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 28 litres. On electricity alone it is rated for about 563 km before the gas engine takes over. In money, 1,000 km costs about $145.70 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,300 a year for 15,000 miles.
When the XC90 makes sense
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
How big it is
As a full-size SUV, it sits higher than a sedan, which makes getting in and loading easier.
Drive it on your own roads
Drive the XC90 on your commute before you commit to it. Rent the XC90 for a week and see how it fits your life. A test week in the XC90 tells you more than any review.
Choosing the right one
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
Running costs
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $14.57 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$3,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Talk to a person
A week with the car can save a costly mistake: request it now.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2017 Volvo XC90 from us first.
