"Now heres the part where I was gobsmacked, I planted my boot at the roundabout having been going for about a minute, the car seemed hesitant then the engine cut in very abruptly, gave the car a violent lurch and took off. Not impressed."
Legacy from the Mk1 XC90 - I raised the same issue with Volvo nearly 20 years ago with my first XC90.
Had the same issue with my second one also, so it's not specific to the T8 engine.
It can be and has been a scare when trying to pull out into traffic from a junction quickly. You know your previous car could do this, but it is a "bit of a surprise" when your shiny new Volvo can't.
The hesitancy has been discussed in this forum since, but Volvo don't seem to have addressed the issue.
