Reko Sri haha yes the best thing to come from that arrangement was the 5 pot that slotted in to the st focus of the era. Full if character but thirsty as hell.
@@bensmithkent22 Yes, That's right. That 5 cylinder is one of the all-time great Ford engines. The engineers went bananas on that one culminating in the Focus RS 500. One of the most powerful FWD cars ever. Still more powerful than today's Civic Type R
When you desire a jaguar, but realise the Volvo is much nicer all around. I drove an S60 through Sweden a month ago, the automatic transmission was a breeze to operate and everything felt so smooth and nice.
Now that I've seen a couple of S90s on the street I have to say it's got great presence. It feels long and low, the lines are elegant. A prettier car than the E class or 5 series, I think. Perhaps that's partly that it still looks new and fresh - yet with nothing in the body design that seems gimicky.
The Jaguar XF and XE handle better than any equivalent German car today. As a 4 series owner, the XF is far more agile than the 3/4/5 series. The steering is awesome and taut. The suspension is sporty yet comfortable-- something the Germans are struggling to do. These two are class leading in this area. Jaguar just need to improve the interior and reduce the NVH in the cabin, and it becomes a no brainer in these segments.
Agree the handling on my boggo xe grumbly 2.0 portfolio d is pretty near perfect for a big barge. Lags behind the germans for quality and refinement though. Considering swapping to a front wheel drive a4 tfsi cos of the horrific clattery diesel in the jag and substandard pull away smoothness.
Now got a b9 a4 but a 40tdi. Noise levels are planes apart. Audi is on big 19s too on 35 profile rubber. Xe handled better or certainly felt better in most bends, whether that translates into better grip levels i am not so sure as the audi stays flat just is no fun.
Jamoi I am slightly mixed about the back, I think they tried to copy the XC90 for the back and in that perspective I think that the XC90 looks better from the back than this does.
+President Kimi What exactly are you trying to prove here? Just because a tailgate is not automated demonstrates that the car is not fit for the comparison?
DilBashir Official If they bothered to make a "luxury model" and if they bothered to do something so the boot opens on its own , could they seriously not make it open completely? How hard could that be...
+President Kimi It's not much of a big deal through is it? Other ford models have automated tailgate too I don't know why they wouldn't apply the feature to this car and it does seem a tad silly however how much of a big deal is it? ... Not very big I'm telling you
Thibault Titeca i see you are a bmw fanboy, i am happy to see that you appreciate a volvo :) because i'm a volvo fanboy, but i love some bmw like 6 series or 7 series, also m4 !!!
Otto Sixpack to call a car premium, we don't watch only at engines!! is premium for technologies, for the fantastic quality interior, so luxurious, for safety (best in class) and for design ! yes, volvo should have a 6 or 8cyl engine, but this 2.0 are mot bad, especially the t6 with 320 hp and the t8 with 407 hp!
The engine is part of the package of what makes a premium car. And without nice engines the package is not complete. At least for me. Power is plenty in 4 cylinders these days but not quality in sound and vibration. A C-class with V6 feels more premium than a E-class 4 cylinder is what I have experienced.
I agree with you a hundred percent. The only thing i do not like about the V/S/XC90 models is that they only have four cylinder engines. The smooth way 6 or 8 cylinder engines deliver power makes cars feel so much more premium.
i just have to say how much i love those Swedish seats!!! they're so thin and have slender profile but don't compromise in comfort. they look sporty, and a bit futuristic, like one of those hardcore gamers chairs. it's just unlike anything in the competition. and just look at the flag motif along the edge. it's so striking. it definitely gets my vote of confidence! 👌
BOOMDEAD Games oh really? maybe a v50 or a c30. but i don't think that the new 90s, old s80, old xc90, s60, xc60, xc70, old 780, 960, 850, 760 are average salary car. it's always has been a premium brand, specialized in safety and resistance, now with new cars, also in luxury!
I rented a volvo S90 D4 inscription friday to monday. Omg... ever since that I really only dream of having one myself. I arrived at a party that friday and lots of great mercs and bmw were parked there... but... the s90 stole the show. Some had brand new red sporty mercs... but they actually was saying "driving a merc is a show-off... driving a Volvo S90 is a statement. I felt like I was the smart guy with brains... omg! I so wanna buy a new Volvo S90
Last time I checked, people were comparing the Vignale to the A4, 3 Series and XE (allthough they don't belong to the same class). Stepping it up a class might be a bit hard for such a car. On the other hand, the Vignale comes with leather-wrapped seats (optional on the XF and the S90), sat-nav (also optional for the others), and even massage seats. Of course, if you're a badge snob, then go and buy an XF, but it'll have halogen headlights and 16 inch alloy wheels for the same price as the Vignale. The Ford is the most reliable out of the three (Volvo isn't what it used to be), and, despite featuring an inferior badge, it has the best balance between cost and features.
Would still buy the Mondeo because there’s more to me than the badge I drive. The Mondeo does everything more than well enough and doesn’t speak for me.
I am a Jag fan, but the Volvo is a nobrainer here. I mean, cmon, it destroys every car in it's class in every way. Price ✔ Looks ✔ Performance ✔ Build quality ✔ I mean it's a fucking dream came true
What a refreshing and honest review - and you can never go wrong with a bit of Carry On Carwow innuendo😀 I don't suppose Mat can ever win - he picks the Volvo but the screamers about British bias are silent. Never mind, we still get to be informed for the umpteenth time that Jaguar is owned by TATA...because it really matters... and obviously Mat has no idea of the fact.
It would be interesting to see what the 3 cars on the road price would be once you have totted up all the options to spec them to the same level of the Ford. I drive an XF and know how expensive the upgraded infotainment is, along with parking assistance etc, all are standard on the Mondeo. Having sat in the new S90 inscription I would definitely take one over my XF but if I wasn't such a brand snob I would be foolish to over look the Ford. That Ford will be an excellent second hand buy in 3 years time and will be half the price of the other two cars. Yes my car is rear wheel drive but it hardly invites you to get the back end out and attack country lanes. The volvo is the best set up for the type of buyer these cars are aimed at as comfort and refinement are priority for the sort of person who will be considering these. Although I can guarantee that anyone looking to buy a large luxury saloon won't even consider the Mondeo. A shame as I have no doubt that its a well equipped and capable car, but foolish of Ford to price it so close to these two without the image. They should have done what Citroën have done with the DS and lose the Ford branding completely and at least made it look different from the Mondeo with a redesigned front end and rear. Its a nice enough shape to get away with just cosmetic changes to make it look a different car to the normal Mondeo without creating a whole new platform.
Next time you get a Volvo, may I suggest trying to get an R-design, as although it is only trim level, it is a totally different car, it's set up completely different than to say the momentum. This is also true for the olds models, r-design vs se lux for example.
I love my 2018 Mondeo Titanium 2 litre 240 b.h.p. I also love my 5 litre Jaguar XK. I paid £18000 for the Mondeo in 2018 when it was a few months old with just over 3000 miles on the ‘clock’. It has full leather seats, tyre pressure sensors, lane sensor, start stop, rear camera, heated seats, electric adjustable seats, LED lights, electric heated mirrors, electric heated windscreen, automatic gearbox/paddle shift, keyless entry, radar cruise control so limits how close you can get to the car in front, automatic high beam dip etc. I would love to know how much the Jag and Volvo would cost with the same specifications not to mention servicing and replacement parts.
I can't get over how uneven the panel gaps on the Jaguar look from different angles, it just looks cheap, especially the gap behind the rear doors. Also the interior design reminds me of a Toyota Corolla, and the materials look really cheap. The original XF looked so much better inside.
If the idea was to promote some other premium cars than German, then instead of Ford, there should be some Lexus car, then this comperison would be appropriate!
You talk about quality but I notice in every saloon car from a Jaguar XF to a BMW 3 series they don't carpet the upper side of the boot, just leave it bare metal whereas the Mondeo is not typically a saloon, being mostly 5dr or estate but in the 4dr variant they actually bother to carpet it.
The Jaguar XF should have been the clear winner in this comparison. I have always liked Volvo, but that new S90 is a disgrace as far as I'm concerned. Looks the exact same in the front as the new XC90. Regardless of the good looks in the front, the rear is absolutely NOT distinctive and hideous at best. Many auto makers in the states have already copied that design. The best thing that could happen would be for Ford to take ownership of Volvo again and bring back engines that actually make sense instead of a ridiculously over engineered and complicated 2.0 L.
U r wrong dude. Even xf looks like all other jaguars except for the f pace. Volvo has best infotainment system here. Xf looks like its From the Stone Age.
Ford Mondeo Vignale is the modern version of a Mercury Topaz LS/Ford Tempo LX. Now imagine a 1987 Topaz LS going up against a W-124 Mercedes 250 D, Audi 5000 and Volvo 740GLE 😂
I drive the lower tier American version of that Ford (Fusion) and it does well for me, but I'm poor. If money were no object though, it would be Volvo all the way. Those seats look great, and the touchscreen looks fabulous.
Once upon a time, Ford used to own both Jaguar and Volvo. As well as Land Rover, Aston Martin, Mazda and some American brands. Guess Ford have learnt nothing from their past acquisitions.
What was Jaguar thinking, warming up the last XF again, instead of designing a new car. Did they not understand why people loved the first XF, simply because it was a daring new look after making the same car for 30 years? Just building the same car again for 30 years but with a 2007 design is going to be a terrible decision.
Alaska Fish & Game it’s because of the color and the tiny wheels which are awful, in R sport, with 18 or 19 inch wheels and any other color, it looks awesome
I don’t think so, but you can subscribe to on call on a new car that supports it. Are you talking about the roadside assistance/ app control or the safety system (city safety)?
Shocking review its clear to see the Jaguar is way better on all fronts, you didn't explain the proper driving moods and stuff to busy sounding like Clarkson...
Volvo and Jaguar are both premium car brands along with BMW, Mercedes and Audi. Ford doesn’t compare to them. Don’t get me wrong, Ford a good, definitely above average. I’d say Ford Mondeos rank alongside VW Passats, A-R Giulias, and Vauxhall Insignias. When it comes down to saloons:Tier 1(Premium): BMW, Jaguar, Mercedes, Volvo and AudiTier 2(Good): Volkswagen, Ford, Alfa-Romeo and VauxhallTier 3(Average): Peugeot, Renault, Nissan, Toyota, Honda, Mazda and CitroenTier 4-5(Below average and Bad): Subaru, Mitsubishi, Kia, Hyundai, Skoda, Suzuki, Seat, ETC
true we all know that but Mat would probably get fired if he said and uploaded that, some bias has to be used cuz carwow is about new cars and here this channel is like a way for their marketing xD
ChelseaFC A lot of people would rather opt to buy a brand new mid ranged car rather than get a used flagship for the same price. Not everyone is fond on purchasing used cars it's more like a 50/50 decision.
you might as well wait a few years to get a mid range car for compact car prices. or a compact car for hatchback car prices. or a hatchback for city car prices. you see it doesn't make any sense you can't compare new to old
Super01113 yeah and I don't understand that... I mean instead of buying a new standard/half loaded new Audi A4 I could buy a pre-registered/pre-owned current model year half loaded Audi A6 (edit: with the same price of the new A4)... what could possibly go wrong about the car with just like 10kkms of mileage, and nobody would buy the car without inspecting it (unless the car belonged to a trusted friend)
ChelseaFC I get you but like I said it comes down to preferences. Some people just simply prefer to kit out a car to their exact specifications and genuinely prefer the design of the A4 over the A6 not to mention the running cost will likely be less and possibly get a better finance rate when purchasing the car(giving that it's new an all). I mean if it was really all about just getting a used A6 over a new A4 you would probably see a lot more people driving cars they couldn't properly maintain. Also you could get a current A8 for the same price with 20kms on it but it doesn't necessarily mean you can afford the living costs.
Personally if I have the money in the United States it has to be the Volvo S90. The Jaguar XF look dated as hell and the Ford Fusion may be good because of a normal sedan but having a premium trim(I'm glad we don't have it in the United States) seems pointless to get.
The Ford Mondeo Vignale 2017 just looks like a fully loaded Ford Fusion. Do you wanna know what's more sad, is that the Ford Fusion competes with the Accord and Camry, but yet the Ford Mondeo Vignale 2017 looks like a Fusion. It's sad Ford, but they're known for more efficient reliability. So I am not trying to sent any hate to Ford but I am just doing a bit of comparison.
Interesting comparison, but here in the US the Fusion, even the top sport version, which I think is closes to the one in this video, would not be considered a direct competitor for the other two.
@@OhPhuckYou I think the Platinum was the most luxurious but the Sport might have cost a little more for the hardware - awd, unique turbo engine and adaptive shocks.
So the only downside of the Mondeo is 'it's a Mondeo'. That's what you get when you fail at branding, Ford. If you want to fight in a higher segment, you need something new, not reuse old familiar car with an expensive kit and higher price...

Ford Mondeo Vignale is the modern version of a Mercury Topaz LS/Ford Tempo LX. Now imagine a 1987 Topaz LS going up against a W-124 Mercedes 250 D, Audi 5000 and Volvo 740GLE 😂
3:53. Lol why does it say "Stupidly large phone". I am pretty sure that was customized by Matt or someone else, but in the end it's a bit funny.
In my opinion those small plastic rims make the XF look a bit cheap from the side
Mark Molenaar Yeah I agree with you. The rear plastic bits make it look really cheap. I think theres another model that removes the plastic.
Carwow need to learn that cars that only come with 2 liter engines are not premium.
Spot on Mat. S90 wins for me too
I drive the lower tier American version of that Ford (Fusion) and it does well for me, but I'm poor. If money were no object though, it would be Volvo all the way. Those seats look great, and the touchscreen looks fabulous.
Next comparison :
- Rolex Cellini
- Patek Philippe Calatrava
- Daniel Wellington Classic ST
White interior with wooden dashboard is great on S90
It’s funny how similar the jag and Volvo look from their sides
He talks about the small piece of paper plastic in the Ford Fusion and Jaguar, but not that huge nasty dash on the Volvo wtf
Once upon a time, Ford used to own both Jaguar and Volvo. As well as Land Rover, Aston Martin, Mazda and some American brands. Guess Ford have learnt nothing from their past acquisitions.
What was Jaguar thinking, warming up the last XF again, instead of designing a new car. Did they not understand why people loved the first XF, simply because it was a daring new look after making the same car for 30 years? Just building the same car again for 30 years but with a 2007 design is going to be a terrible decision.
Love the reviews matt nicely refreshing
The Vignale is the 'Créme de la créme, easier and cheaper to maintain and more for the buck.
Why didn't you show the MPG for the Ford?
VOLVO! We need an S90 Polestar.
What's next? Two luxury cars vs a honda accord?
The exterior of the Jaguar looks so drab. I really don't like it. In my opinion, the Volvo definitely looks the best.
Alaska Fish & Game it’s because of the color and the tiny wheels which are awful, in R sport, with 18 or 19 inch wheels and any other color, it looks awesome
Can (Volvo on call) be installed on the models who don’t have it?
I don’t think so, but you can subscribe to on call on a new car that supports it. Are you talking about the roadside assistance/ app control or the safety system (city safety)?
Matt 6 series gran coupe vs A7 vs CLS
please
Not fair for the Mondeo, should of had base model like the other cars on test.
Shouldn't you be playing with your hyperloop?
carwow even a model s is a better replacement for the mondeo in this....... comparison
Love the seats of volvo...it is just super comfy
after testing these 3 myself, I go for Volvo, vignale and jaguar in the 3rd place.
Why not try rolling starts to negate the 4wd advantage so we can see the real difference on engine power?
I know they’re simalar price, but the vignale was a bit out of place. It’s more a bmw 3 series rival than a 5 series.
Throwing the Mondeo in there is like comparing a VW Passat to an E- Class and Audi A6.. also a very good car but really not quite up there....
Interesting review especially cause all 3 used to be owned by Ford
Shocking review its clear to see the Jaguar is way better on all fronts, you didn't explain the proper driving moods and stuff to busy sounding like Clarkson...
Volvo and Jaguar are both premium car brands along with BMW, Mercedes and Audi.
Ford doesn’t compare to them.
Don’t get me wrong, Ford a good, definitely above average.
I’d say Ford Mondeos rank alongside VW Passats, A-R Giulias, and Vauxhall Insignias.
When it comes down to saloons:Tier 1(Premium): BMW, Jaguar, Mercedes, Volvo and AudiTier 2(Good): Volkswagen, Ford, Alfa-Romeo and VauxhallTier 3(Average): Peugeot, Renault, Nissan, Toyota, Honda, Mazda and CitroenTier 4-5(Below average and Bad): Subaru, Mitsubishi, Kia, Hyundai, Skoda, Suzuki, Seat, ETC
ill take the Jag by a slight edge over the Volvo, at the end of the day its the badge that counts plus its rear-wheel drive
who's gonna buy these midrange cars for such high prices. you could get flagships instead in the used car market.
true we all know that but Mat would probably get fired if he said and uploaded that, some bias has to be used cuz carwow is about new cars and here this channel is like a way for their marketing xD
ChelseaFC A lot of people would rather opt to buy a brand new mid ranged car rather than get a used flagship for the same price. Not everyone is fond on purchasing used cars it's more like a 50/50 decision.
you might as well wait a few years to get a mid range car for compact car prices. or a compact car for hatchback car prices. or a hatchback for city car prices. you see it doesn't make any sense you can't compare new to old
Super01113 yeah and I don't understand that... I mean instead of buying a new standard/half loaded new Audi A4 I could buy a pre-registered/pre-owned current model year half loaded Audi A6 (edit: with the same price of the new A4)... what could possibly go wrong about the car with just like 10kkms of mileage, and nobody would buy the car without inspecting it (unless the car belonged to a trusted friend)
ChelseaFC I get you but like I said it comes down to preferences. Some people just simply prefer to kit out a car to their exact specifications and genuinely prefer the design of the A4 over the A6 not to mention the running cost will likely be less and possibly get a better finance rate when purchasing the car(giving that it's new an all). I mean if it was really all about just getting a used A6 over a new A4 you would probably see a lot more people driving cars they couldn't properly maintain.
Also you could get a current A8 for the same price with 20kms on it but it doesn't necessarily mean you can afford the living costs.
Personally if I have the money in the United States it has to be the Volvo S90. The Jaguar XF look dated as hell and the Ford Fusion may be good because of a normal sedan but having a premium trim(I'm glad we don't have it in the United States) seems pointless to get.
The Ford Mondeo Vignale 2017 just looks like a fully loaded Ford Fusion. Do you wanna know what's more sad, is that the Ford Fusion competes with the Accord and Camry, but yet the Ford Mondeo Vignale 2017 looks like a Fusion. It's sad Ford, but they're known for more efficient reliability. So I am not trying to sent any hate to Ford but I am just doing a bit of comparison.
Fusion and mondeo is the same car, they aren't competing. Fusion is American and the European version is mondeo, different markets
Interesting comparison, but here in the US the Fusion, even the top sport version, which I think is closes to the one in this video, would not be considered a direct competitor for the other two.
Top trim on the US Fusion was the Platinum. Leather dash and everything.
@@OhPhuckYou I think the Platinum was the most luxurious but the Sport might have cost a little more for the hardware - awd, unique turbo engine and adaptive shocks.
If you get the T6 S90, it's choosable over a full size German luxury sedan
So the only downside of the Mondeo is 'it's a Mondeo'. That's what you get when you fail at branding, Ford. If you want to fight in a higher segment, you need something new, not reuse old familiar car with an expensive kit and higher price...
How on earth did the Volvo win the test??
That Mondeo will DEFINITELY not be sold here in the US. Even under the Fusion nameplate.
No, but you get the Fusion Platinum in the US, which I guess is sort of equivalent.
I honestly can't believe you put a Ford against the other two!
