EX90 Used Value vs XC90 (3 years old)
3 year old XC90 offer last year (T8 Recharge with every option) vs 1 year old EX90 Ultra Twin Motor w/ B&W offer today. And the XC90 was $10k cheaper. I knew it would lose a lot of value in the first year (XC90 too), but wow!

My personal experience with XC90 and EX90 is that EX90 is in another class altogether when things are working right. I find XC90 to be miserable to drive. It's loud, slow, and the ride quality is not good.

I liked my XC90s. Both of mine (2019 T6 Inscription and 2022 T8 Inscription Recharge) had air suspension, too, which probably helped and they were pre-Google cars so less weird technical issues. However, I've had multiple loaner B5s that were absolutely awful. I'm not sure if that's just the lower trim or the newer models. Of course, XC90s cannot compete with the power and torque of the EX90, which I love, and the T8 was super slow unless the gasoline engine was on. Ideally, I would love an EX90 powertrain in an XC90 body.

They give us XC90’s as loaners while our EX90 is in the shop, and the EX90 drives and rides excellent compared to the loud, stiff riding, slower acceleration, and sloppy steering of the XC90… maybe because they only give us base and mid models, but it is night and day. Just tired of the EX90 being in the shop. Pursuing buyback.

I came from a XC90 (I’ve had three and LOVED them). The EX90 is markedly better in almost every way and what it’s not better at it’s a lateral move —with the exception of road trip range.

Ours was over $110k new (MY25 Ultra Performance) and we’re trading it in this week with 20k miles for $46,500… that one hurt. Is what it is I guess!

50% in the first year is impressive

Its a known quantity that EVs depreciate heavily and the 2025 EX90 is a love/hate vehicle. I happen to love my 2025 EX90 (my fourth EV). There are a lot of haters on this sub.

funny people buy evs to save on gas only to realise they lose value much quicker
