I've always liked Volvo, but I never realized that they'd gotten so luxurious, very nice. Great review, as usual, Joe! Good to see Victor manning the camera, great shots. He did Volvo proud lol
You can adjust the steering feel from heavy to light on your driver profile if needed. Also, dynamic mode really wakes that thing up. You can even add a Polestar tune from Volvo to add more power. I just bought my wife a new Volvo XC90 Inscription and wow! I've always liked Volvo, but I am blown away by the XC90. That engine is deceivingly quick! The ride is so smooth, you don't feel the acceleration like in other cars, but once you look down at the spedo...yeah, 70mph comes really quick. Those Vikings can really build a car! I think they actually use Thor's hammer to build them.... I'll give my Volvo story here. I am a Sheriff's Deputy and respond to collisions multiple times a night. One night at around 0200hrs, I was dispatched to a roll over crash on a back road and expected the need for extraction based on other roll overs I've been to. When I arrived on scene, there was a Volvo, upside down on its top without a dent anywhere. Usually the A-pillars will break and the C-pillars, but this thing rolled several times and nothing broke. The tow truck just rolled it back onto its wheels and off it went with suspect's mother behind the wheel. I've seen many more with Volvo's in collisions and they are literally little tanks. Suburban's do quite well too, especially in head-on collisions. I will never drive a little car after all the collisions I've responded to over the last 20 years.
@@a.rutledge3499 I went Inscription because of more color combinations in the interior. R design is nice for a sporty look but you can't go wrong with either. More of personal preference for which ever you think looks better.
As a Mainland Chinese, I'm super proud to know Volvo is now owned by one of world's largest car makers based in our great nation of China. #MadeInChina2025 #BeltAndRoad 🇨🇳
Joe, there is a reason why Volvo ONLY puts Manual Tilting steering wheels this is done mainly for safety. After multiple crash test reports Volvo has noted that the power-adjustable steering wheels do NOT fold inwards after a serious accident unlike the manually adjusted ones do.
Thanks for that info. Very good to know. I totally understand that for the reasons of extra safety, the steering column would b manual adjustable only. 👍👍
I bet that's a handy excuse. Volvo used huge C pillars for XC40, which apparently restricts rear sights. If Volvo was so keen on safety that they use manual tilting for a 70k vehicle, they wouldn't have accepted those thick pillars.
@@lowlanz Haters gonna hate !! I do note the C pillar styling of the XC40, BUT, First time I’ve ever heard of vision complaints about the XC40.

Great review Joe! Love these, and wagon. Blows the genesis out of the water. JOE- it’s a Volvo, no power steering wheel because in an accident first responders can’t move it if there is no power.
I agree with you last November my S90 t6 inscription was hit from the side side air bag came down the car came to a complete stop. Volvo on call came up on the front dash they were monitoring the accident . If you all want a nice beautiful safe car go for the 2017 model year if you want more go for more 2018 and up plus get it with the bowers and Wilkins 19 speakers awesome audio system hopefully next month I will be replacing my Volvo which got total due to the side airbags and the door damage.

@@diablocls55 Every major reliability chart and Consumer Reports rate Volvo low. Everybody I know who ones the newer models has had significant issues. I think they’re some cool cars but definitely don’t offer reliability as a strength.
Maybe, but, most people lease or use the subscription service. Should be perfectly fine for three years. I've had a 2019 S60 T5 and had to have the battery replaced. It was inconvenient (happened over a long weekend) but didn't cost me a dime. As for quality, Ford owned Volvo. Since 2010 I think Volvo's been owned by Greeley (Chinese) who've pretty much left them alone. The quality issues have mostly been around the infotainment system (slow to boot, confusing etc.). The next generation will do away with it entirely as they've subcontracted with Google and will have an entirely Google system (see CX 40 Recharge). Just wish they were more affordable.
Great review Joe. The S90 looks stunning. Beautiful stance and presence. The interior is brilliant. Scandi cool. Minimalist looking interior, that is perfect and looks very upmarket / premium. Volvo seats r always brilliant They specifically design orthopaedic seats. IMO, this vehicle would be a competitor product to BMW 5 series, Audi A6 and Benz E series. Not a competitor to an S class or 7 series ? Volvo make fantastic cars. They are very underrated. Volvo should do a lot more marketing and promo of their fantastic vehicles. Unfortunately, they are often overlooked and are not considered by people when they go car hunting. This is a big shame. I do really appreciate that some people have commented to advise that Volvo do NOT ever offer electrically adjustable steering columns, as their very extensive crash testing has shown that a non electric steering column, deforms safer in a crash.

I really really wanted an S90 T8 with the Polestar optimization, but these things seem to be incredibly rare, I think only 5 in the country a couple of months ago from what a local dealer was saying.

You should do scores for each car. Just like Doug Demuro/The Doug Score. Like, he has sections, then he adds tall the points up, then gives it a final score, and it competes with other cars. That would make me so happy if you did that!
I have the impression that the car blends into the background. Probably due to the exterior color which is the same color as the asphalt. Too bad because the S90 is a really nice luxury sedan😕.
For some reason people look at Volvo as a brand for senior citizens. I do like a lot the CX Z 40. The car you are reviewing looks like a Jaguar. It is nice. 👍
Because they drive like senior citizens move. There's no energy, no pizazz, no theatre, and that's by design. Volvo doesn't want to stand out for those things.
i heard this model has some issues about the brake system. it feels like a small jerky when the speeds close to zero ~ electronics system flaw. Have you experienced this Joe.?
I have heard the same about some Volvo vehicles, in the past. One to 2 years ago. I think it was on vehicles with regenerative braking system technology. I presume that Volvo has now improved and updated this braking system, and eliminated this previous matter ? 🤷🏻♂️
@@Striker50_ the brake feel has been fixed, at least in the XC90 T8. Remember you are buying a single model, not the whole brand. So view each model to get accurate idea.
316 HP from a 2.0 liter turbo/supercharged engine AND hybrid electric motors? Volvo has had significant problems with the reliability of this engine. If you're going to buy anything Volvo (now a Chinese-owned company) stick with the T5 250HP turbo model.
Their 4 cylinder is extremely course and rough. That may not be their fault due to the inherent nature of a four-cylinder engine. But that’s the route they chose. I had an XC90 As a loaner with that engine and my wife and I were very disappointed. We had it for a week and it was enough to make us not want to buy it
I love Volvo, but they really need to add more storage; the problem is even worse in the T8s. I think they do a lot really well, but they’re hard to live with because of the storage issue. (2020 XC60 owner)
You do so many great reviews Joe...thank you. But I have one ZONK for you: nets on the back of the seats are actually historically a classier touch than the alternative full material, which is always some sort of fake leather or vinyl. The net movement started with high end cars like Mercedes, Porsche, & BMW. They should not consistently be a zonk...in fact you should be noting the classy touch they provide. Yes it's an objective thing, but so is the difference between a Timex and a TAG. My advice is to stop zonking the nets as they really are a classier look and touch than vinyl. Otherwise...I always enjoy your reviews!
Noticed that too when he put tge camera too close to the door panel instead of showing it. Laurie was filming for a little while and honestly did a better job than then this dude, noticeably different
The Volvo S90 starts at £16,000 less than a 7 Series, and £26,000 less than an S Class. They're not in the same league at all. The S90 is a competitor to the 5 Series or E Class.

You do an amazing job at selling every car you review! But is it me or do cars without exhausts look like they’ve been neutered? I love this car as a plug in hybrid, but $70K? It’ll be worth $25K in a couple years with low mileage.
All cars depreciate. Everyone says the same thing you say about all luxury cars, every time. The thing is, people in this market don't care. This isn't a car for someone who is going to purchase a Toyota, Hyundai, etc.
Joe ... the reason the steering wheel is NOT an electric one is because Volvo deems it UNSAFE. The manual adjustment is due to safety design. The engineers were not able to get the steering column and mechanisms to collapse out of the way in a frontal crash with an electronically adjustable unit, given wiring harnesses and connections. The manual column completely snaps and drops under, and out of harms way.
I really love this car. I had a 2018 and just bought a 2023. Not that it matters but you keep calling it a European car. Granted that is the heritage but Volvo is now owned by Geely which is a Chinese car company. In fact, both of my S90s were assembled in China and imported to the United States.

Hey Joey! I've always been a big fan of these big Volvos, man. Super classy and classic European design, with unique Volvo cues. Tight panel fits, beautiful car. Thanks for bringing this big boy review, brother. :) JV Johnny
I just picked this exact car and same color last week. Loving it!
Can you also tell the trunk capacity in terms of literage
One cubic foot is approximately 28.317 liters so times 13.5 is about 382 liters...
@@OlJackBurton yeah but it would be nice to hear from Joe in the video right
Would love to see reviews of the non-electrics that are a little more within the price range of most....
Joe is a type of a guy to book holidays in Tampa Florida
Hey I do that. 😂🤣😂🤣
@@kurtybee2 are you from Tampa and book holidays in Tampa?
All Volvo’s steering wheels tilt and telescope in case of an accident the driver can still exit, With a power wheel the electronics could fail.
Getting delivery of mine on the weekend
Excited for this Swedish beauty now
Yooooooooooow Volvo pulled out all the stops with their redesigned fleet here man!!! Look at this thing!!! Nose to tail it is elegant and even a lil sporty, and inside it a step above!!! #RaitisRides #OnThrottle #ToTheDoorPanel #TwinkiesForDays #OnThrottleAgain #LoriGotAngles #CameraQueen #Zonkmeister #OnThrottleAllOverThePlace #435kSubs #Volvo #S90_Recharge
You do an amazing job at selling every car you review! But is it me or do cars without exhausts look like they’ve been neutered? I love this car as a plug in hybrid, but $70K? It’ll be worth $25K in a couple years with low mileage.
2019 Volvo s90 t8 it's going for 45,000 used so no. still a drop but not that crazy.
Nope. Even the 2018 T6 (non hybrid) S90 inscriptions are priced between $30- 36k so the T8 should be higher.
Still worth $60k today
All cars depreciate. Everyone says the same thing you say about all luxury cars, every time. The thing is, people in this market don't care. This isn't a car for someone who is going to purchase a Toyota, Hyundai, etc.
Could we get reviews on your cars
Wondering how strong the resale value is for a $70,000 hybrid sedan that is expensive to maintain : )
Resale on any current Volvo that isn't an SUV, a Polestar Engineered, or a T6 V60 is pitiful in the NA market.
One more cylinder and additional layer of carpet padding to dampen the road noise, then we'll have a clear cut winner
Can you do a Bmw 230i please?
I will track one down for you!
How come the rear center loadthrough is missing?
Probably because that is where the hybrid battery is stored.
I don’t why I love this man 😃
Damn this thing looks really good
The nets are so out of place... Wrong choice to cheap out on that. Especially on their flagship.
XC90 is their flagship, they don't sell many of these. I've never seen one in person in the us
Great video, but I have 1 question.
How many bags of golf clubs can I fit in the back?
Joe ... the reason the steering wheel is NOT an electric one is because Volvo deems it UNSAFE. The manual adjustment is due to safety design. The engineers were not able to get the steering column and mechanisms to collapse out of the way in a frontal crash with an electronically adjustable unit, given wiring harnesses and connections. The manual column completely snaps and drops under, and out of harms way.
I really love this car. I had a 2018 and just bought a 2023. Not that it matters but you keep calling it a European car. Granted that is the heritage but Volvo is now owned by Geely which is a Chinese car company. In fact, both of my S90s were assembled in China and imported to the United States.
