I came from Superb 2 170 DSG with a remap to a XC90 T8. I would have probably gone for a Q7 but after Dieselgate and subsequent actions I vowed never to buy a VAG car again until I felt they had changed.
I still miss the skoda in some ways it never put a foot wrong which is more than my current car. Build quality I feel is similar but more expensive materials in the Volvo and of course much more toys and safety in the Volvo. The Volvo is a more relaxing drive possibly due to Pilot assist and eats through the miles although more frequent stops partly due to the small fuel take on the MY18.
XC90 is a lovely car, it’s twice the cost of the Skoda, is it twice as good as a new Kodiaq?. Hmmm not sure, equally not sure I would go back either.
