Let's face it, Volvo cupholders in our model and year vehicles just plain suck.
Design, quality...non-existant. Those of you who have been to Sweden and other parts of Scandanavia will know, that 24oz. Dunkin' Donuts cup of Joe in the car is not part of the culture. For sure the cupholders were to satisfy the sales demand of the North American market.
The front cupholder that is supposed to slide out of the armrest is laughable. So let's see: if you put a drink in it, you can't open it without removing the drink, and you have great difficulty to release the parking brake that the drink now sits directly over.
The entire design was an afterthought at best.

I did install the flip down ones that are often used in boats. They are great! Sturdy, adjustable and quite a bit more convenient then the OEM type...and they even match my tan console! Those sitting in the back seat...well they can keep it steady between their legs.
