Xc90.. Volvo is known for safety.. Parts are super cheap compared to ford edge, Honda pilot..... and price wise it's worth it ... Ground clearance is top notch.. With the bad roads the Xc90 is well and above rugged enough to handle it.......

Volvo xc90 engine is around 200k ...... Overall xc90 is a luxury vehicle

Go for the Honda Pilot.

You have mechanics and parts scattered everywhere and they’re not a nightmare to fix. They have cheap parts compared to the others and also are very reliable compared to the others. They have very good interior spaces and handles the road very well. They have decent fuel economy and have very impressive crash tests scores (they’re very safe)


Talking from experience.

V6 engine.. The last time I check.. Cost of import as gone up .. Increase in import duties gone up too.. So price wise anything goes......

But overall Volvo parts are cheap compare to other brands.. Very rare to get fake Volvo parts. This is from my experience

Dont be deceived, that information is not true.

When it comes to cost of parts (not China knock offs), the Honda Pilot doesn't have an edge over XC90 here oj naija

For every point you listed here, 08 pilot has nothing on 08 XC90

Having mechanics scattered everywhere doesn't mean they know what they're doing, if that was the case, you won't spend a lot to setup a workshop hoping for clients, why will they need you when they can get cheaper services and parts scattered all over every street

08 Honda pilot parts ain't generally cheaper than 08 XC90 in naija

Talking about reliability, that's subjective. Depends on maintenance culture of the individual, but the constant thing is that for both vehicle, even when well maintained, the XC90 ages better, no contests here

08 Honda pilot interior is more plasticky and inferior to that of 08 XC90, beauty is subjective

08 XC90 handles better than 08 Honda pilot

Talk about crash tests and safety too, 08 Honda pilot ain't above the 08 XC90

@OP

Whilst reading all people are posting, have it at the back of your mind that majority of contributions you'll get here are laced with bias (mine inclusive)

Everyone most likely has a motive for their suggestions, some want to sell parts, some want to sell cars, some want to repair and some are just plain fanboys on a superiority drive

Its always better to check the history of everyone suggesting one thing or the other and see which points are laced with bias and which are likely coming from an angle of neutrality

As for me and my family sha, i will defend my volvo especially when faced with an inferior opponent grin

Living in Nigeria it’s a no brainer Honda Pilot all day everyday twice on Sunday
Use recommended fluids and service when due .. most importantly buy a good unit

Save yourself many many headaches looking for expert …

Na my issues with una be this, you won't look for "experts" if you buy Honda abi, yet gazzuzz thread is filled with Honda people looking for "experts" daily

And this is how they looked for expert all the way to Nairaland and the "experts" are setting up expensive shops all over the country and cashing out, yet no one is looking for them sad

Use car way dey common and parts readily available.....e get why. Uncommon cars ,uncommon problems. I will still advise honda largely because of its presence on our Nigerian roads. It's Mechanic and parts are everywhere. If you desire to be unique....you can try the Volvo, make sure you have an experience Volvo mechanic in your locality. Car is not just about driving/brand appeal only but also ease of maintenance
