On 08SEP2022, my 3 month old Volvo S90 saved my life. When stopped at a light, I was rear ended by a driver under the influence of multiple drugs. He was accelerating through 70mph at impact. I sustained multiple injuries, none of which were life threatening. Incredibly, even after such a high velocity impact, the passenger cabin was perfectly preserved. I now own 3 Volvo XC90s and won’t buy any other vehicle. Thanks, Volvo, for your commitment to safety, and for saving my life. Looking forward to the next generation of Volvo vehicles!
I agree. My wife was hit by 2 cars from behind. Cell phone teen in a brand new mustang. Both cars went under her. Seatbelts pulled back on her and my grand daughters. Car did not roll or flip. I looked at the rear damage and myself along with the officer were shocked. It was like a cyborg bumper. Now if you could get Volvo Body Shops to do a better job.
Likewise, I bought 7 XC90s one for each day of the week all different colours. My neighbors are NOT happy but they're just jealous of my beautiful and safe XC90s.
Volvo has always been a product for the cerebral, out of the box consumer.. The ad was a bit esoteric, but that is the Volvo mentality the Volvo way and that is exactly what kind of customer has been attracted to this brand. I am one of those and have had many high end vehicles in my life time and I must say, the Volvo, bar none, has been the best. Thank you Volvo for making "quality" and a safe car. That has always been your commitment and you have done quite well...
I for one can attest to the safety attributes of Volvo. I had a 2013 Volvo C70 hardtop convertible (last year of production). Almost one year ago to the day, a young lady ran a stop sign and hit me head on. Airbag deployed, front end folded and I spun around. I walked out of the car without a scratch - my glasses still stayed on my head! The flatbed driver to told me what I knew...the car saved my life. I now drive the identical car except its a 2012 - couldn't find a '13 the same color and interior - and would buy a new one if Volvo started building them again. Thanks Volvo!
I lease a 2021 Volvo XC 60 and it is probably one of the best and safest cars I ever owned and now lease. The safety features are awesome. We drive to and from NYC to Florida and on the major highways I use auto assist and the car stays exactly in the middle of the lanes (3 car lengths behind) and it follows the roads with its curves. Of course I always keep my hand on the steering wheel. I do hope that Volvo will take back my car in 2 1/2 years like they have done in the past. We can't wait to lease our next Volvo XC 60.
Vary happy to see Volvo to continue it´s legacy of focusing on the safety of it´s passangers. The only disappointment was the presentation of the EX90 - which will be yet another big-size, top$ SUV in the next gen EV market. Loving my XC40 - I would love that next gen being a true, smaller, EVSUV (no crossover). I guess I will have to wait a couple of more years for that. In any case - good luck with your development and launch! 👍
If you complain about big size then you know next to nothing about passive security on the road. Go and buy some small city car if your don't like big size. But don't complain if in case of an head on accident where you will be critically injured, but the other driver in his big and heavy, old cheap pickup will be unharmed.
Just this morning I took my eyes off the road for 2 seconds to grab my coffee. The light had turned green so I started in on cruise control out of nowhere my Volvo S60 slammed on brakes . The anti safety assist activated on its own and saw what I did not see which was the car ahead of me who slammed on breaks. I love Volvo and considering the affordable c40 recharge
Biggest issue with 2023 XC60 is that Volvo need to solve the TCAM issue. I have a S60 in service, dealer gave me a brand new XC60 loaner, the TCAM issue came out in 10 days. Have to swap out for another XC60 loaner, hope this one won't let me go back to the dealer in another 10 days.
That is a great preview and much aligned with the excellence we Volvo lovers came to expect. My main concern is the implementation of AAOS. So far Volvo's implementation of AAOS has not been close to par to the rest of the car's technology and it is so poor it makes a great luxury car feel like a popular cheap car... The infotainment system and interface are one of the most important, present and constant points of contact between the driver and the car's overall experience and is a strong determinant of ones perception of the car. A lot of people that came to appreciate Volvo's luxury feel (myself included) are deeply disappointed that the feeling you get from the AAOS System is that your car is nothing special when it comes to the experience and feel of this new interface... Volvo got it really right with Sensus, which transpired refinement, good taste, great design and exclusivity, way above the popular cheap cars but also from the other luxury cars (MB, Audi, BMW, Land Rover etc...) The AAOS implementation, today in ALL of its cars, transpires the exact opposite... A terrible step in the opposite direction of what one of the things that made the new SPA cars such a great success repositioning ans strengthening the brand as a luxury / refined car... What a blunder... I do hope Volvo is not blind sighted in this move and is able to fix it... I, for one, already decided not to buy a new XC90 because of that alone...
Hi, It's great to see Volvo is still putting safety at the heart of its build. I have a 2021 XC60 Recharge and I would say it ticks about 90% of everything I want, so 9 out of 10 is excellent. However one of the things I struggle with is the heating controls and the touch screen. I find I'm struggling to touch the right icon or temp setting. I know you can use voice control, but this isn't always successful. I feel this is a safety issue and should be looked at. I know this is the way the industry is moving to, but is it safe! Also a simple device to read and check tyre pressures should be available on cars of this quality. I know we have TPMS, put you don't know which tyre it is or how low the pressure is. A couple of weeks ago, the warning came on, I was on the motorway, so pulled onto the hard shoulder and then had to get out and walk around the car, not knowing which tyre to check and to see what the pressure was. Lots of car makers have a system to tell what tyre pressures are on each wheel. So come on Volvo lets see if you can add this to the EX90?
Hello David, thank you for your message. The product team is not customer-facing, therefore we regret that a direct response from them will not be possible. Your thoughts have been forwarded to the engineering and design department for evaluation and discussion at the regular product meetings. Best regards, Volvo Cars.
@@VolvoCars Hi, thank you for your reply and passing it onto the engineers. If you don't mind, I wonder if you could also pass the following comments for me please? I use my car to pull our touring caravan and hope that the new car comes with a good towing capacity of at least 1800kg. I noticed that the new Polestar 2 has frameless door mirrors, so this would mean that you couldn't attach towing mirrors! Another frustration for me is the air suspension, you can't control it from inside the car! When we have picked passengers up, they have struggled to get in the car, as the suspension is raised. If we switch the car off, it sometimes goes down ( not every time), it sometimes will do it while we walk away. So the ability to do this from inside the car would be very useful. I understand that manufactures have moved away from spare wheels, but again I have a spare wheel for my caravan, but can't get one for the car. Maybe the frunk could have room for a spare wheel, turned so the charge cables can be stored in the well, just a thought? I'm very passionate about cars and I'm always striving to get the best car for my needs. If you need me to review and test drive your cars, please let me know, lol. Many thanks again, David.
I bought a V70 XC at the factory in 2001. 336,000 miles later I am thinking about buying a new Volvo. Probably the last car I will ever own. My old Volvo performed magnificently (engine, transmission, body, safety, reliability, winter driving, etc.). I have read some reviews online, and am not sure if my experience over the next 20 years would be as gratifying. I appreciate the digital safety thing, but what about the hardware? Is the Volvo brand still a step above?? Thanks.
Daniel, we have a 2020 XC40 and 2021 XC90. My 40 has never had a single squeak or rattle, the transmission is solid and consistent, and everything works beautifully. Obviously individual results may vary, but I feel 100% confident that Volvos are still the kind of car you can keep for years and years.
So exciting! Love to see Volvo leading the way in safety and technology. I only purchase Volvo cars. My family’s safety depends on it. Love my XC90! Volvo for Life!! ❤
May 2021 I bought a V90XC wagon. I was driving in Denver and went to switch lanes to another highway. A car came on my right going much faster than I was on the passenger side, and I saw an alert on my dashboard that said "accident detection, automatic intervention". My Volvo automatically pulled to the left out of the way of the car. I also like in cruise it automatically detects the car in front and will slow to the speed to keep three car lengths behind. I had a XC 70 ten years, and so glad I bought new. Volvo for life for me.
For that ambition to be fulfilled ALL the car companies have to work together to have all cars communicate with each other, so each knows what the other car is doing, it's direction and anticipated dangers.
Please make all the turning indicators amber, even in the North American market where it is not required. It makes a difference for safety. Red turning indicators may cause accidents.
As a long supporter and driver of Volvo cars I welcome new technology that can make the roads safer and the driver experience better. But I see these technologies as an AID and not to be relied upon and assume they will always get you out of danger. In my years as a police officer and a police driving instructor in London too many collisions are down to bad driving. Lack of effective observation; lack of anticipation; and driving too fast too close. I recall when safety belts became mandatory a discussion on the radio that this could give a false sense of safety and security and the driver may not be as cautious. With all the tech on current cars the driver needs to understand that the laws of physics will still beat the tech and not prevent a collision. The cars I see daily in London being driven badly are those with all the tech. I welcome this new technology because even if it results in a small reduction in collisions then that is good. Well done Volvo.
Just in case someone from corporate is watching the page, I humbly ask that you please make enabling the pixel headlights in the United States a priority. The reason that the law was changed is because we are having serious safety issues with the LED lights blinding other drivers. It’s not just about a cool feature. 😊 thanks.
Jim says clearly: he is announcing new Safety Standard in New VOLVO EC90 to be presented in few weeks! As a standard equipment for all EC90, and as us usually it happens, in following model updates. Regards!
@@experimental_av I agree.I think its a good Step by Volvo Marketing, it's very important to be in the news and release teasers like this event , to stay relevant in the challenging Automotive world. High hopes for the Electric Xc 90 aka EX90, launching in Nov 2022..[Tentatively].
I would like the 5 seater option. That’s what I have now 2018. More concerned with cargo than passengers. This is my second XC90 and I want to get the same car next time.
Thank you, Jim Rowan, for not using the name Embla. How awful! Reminds me of Edsel. EXC90 builds on the iconic XC90 name. Good move. Can't wait til Nov 9th.
Good morning Mr. Jim, Is this laser able to detect children, animals or small objects below the fender and back bumper? Is this new feature/safety for only XC90? What about the other model? Thank you very time
There are ultrasonic sensors and fisheye cameras located in the front and rear bumpers to detect low lying objects. So, yes, the car safely stop for the use-case you describe 😀
I mean you have to include that his brother flew to LA the day before to stage an intervention for a drug induced manic episode. Which is believed to have caused him to crash his car at a high rate of speed head on into a tree
@@Fokai-wq4hf I find that hard to believe, the angle that glowies might offed him makes a bit more sense, Michael quite literally said something among the lines of "I have something big to reveal" and he died/got involved in said accident shortly afterward. Coincidence, I THINK NOT
Will the next-gen of Volvo cars still give the driver the capability of pushing through the safety-stop features, either through brake-tapping or accelerator depressing? As a Volvo owner in the South African market, hijacking remains a grave threat, so to know that it's still possible to override these features when needed the most would be exceptionally valuable to know. Otherwise these features look great!
I think it will auto brake no matter what. But if you were actively moving to avoid the collision, then the autobraking will come on right before the collision.
I'm currently a Volvo car owner. And proud of it. But this announcement raises me a question: how much will it cost? I'm sadly watching Volvo moving in a direction I call "only the rich deserve to own a car". Is this what's going on? Solving the current complex car problems by limiting the number or people allowed to have a car?
About a month ago, I purchased my 2023 XC60 Recharge. So far, it has exceeded expectations. The point, I was backing out in an indoor parking garage. It was dark, and as I pulled out, my car came to a sudden and jarring stop. I thought I hit something. I quickly turned around and saw a golf cart with dark paint and no lights speeding by me. If the rear collision detection did not pick it up, I would hate to say what would have happened.
YES , YES, YES! I do trust Volvos other than any car brands . That's why, I have 2 Volvos . V60 CC and XC60. They are both 2022 models. But unfortunately, New models of the XC60 are not reliable and have tons of problems. I bought my XC60 in December , 2021 and returned it in January 2022 and drove Volvo loaner cars for 2 months. In March 2022 , Volvo Sweden sent me another XC60. I still have problems like roof leaks etc. And Volvo US does not want to replace it again! As a cancer survivor, I got too much stress in the last 9 months!
Ich lasse mich überraschen, im S90, XC40, C40 waren die Assistenzsysteme jetzt nicht so prickelnd, bin die Autos dennoch gern gefahren. Man kann viel versprechen, am Ende zählt, was beim Nutzer ankommt.
Ok io sono già alla 4 generazione di Volvo , onestamente noto con dispiacere che i materiali delle nuove volvo non sono all’altezza del nome volvo anche se la tecnologia ha fatto molti progressi come la mia volvo la prima auto con airbag sotto al motore e lettura dei segnali e ACC Ma i motori rispetto alle vecchie volvo sono molto ben lontani dagli standard che si aspetta un vecchio cliente Volvo , complimenti al nuovo CEO per esser tornato al passato della volvo sulla sicurezza
I absolutely love my 2012 S60T. No safety features ' and two recalls, but I'm still all for it. I wish I wasn't so out-priced on anything other than what I have.
I'm a volvo fan as my old volvo has been through a few fender benders and no one has been hurt. The car is solid! My newer car has been in the shop for 2 months now with an engine problem so not sure about all the new computer stuff. My old volvo is 2001 and the newer one is 2017. So not so sure having more computerized cars is going to actually be better.
Love you Volvo, but how about starting with missed basics- offer built in recording dash cams? The cameras are already there. Then add slow moving sensors so I don’t hit the lawnmower or the bicycle in the garage, never mind a squirrel at 80 km/h. And add waist level cornering cameras so you can see gates, curbs, people, when making turns below line of sight. And rear sensors to warn of incoming fast approaching cars from the rear when traffic slows down. Lastly, fix the annoying tailgate foot actuator. My dog or my foot sets it off when passing underneath. And when needed with arms full, it is finicky to engage. Look forward to the future. Keep innovating. Thank you.
Exactly. Such an obvious oversight with the lack of recording with existing cameras even on my 2016 XC90. Secondly I agree. There should be am AUTOMATIC REAR FACING HORN for drivers who are not decelerating safely.
I'm speaking about activating the rear horn and flash the rear lights both when you yourself are having to decelerate quickly or when the driver behind you is detected to be approaching too fast.
Around 3:10, he mentions it being released on all of the new EX90s. Unfortunately, you can’t retrofit LiDAR and the safety sensors on the 2022 and 2023 models that Volvo has already built. 😔 So you’d have to wait for it to come to newer 2024 or 2025 models if you didn’t want the EX90.
Szuper! Régi volvós vagyok, de az ég áldja meg a fordítót, aki a magyar szöveggel feliratozza a promóciós filmet. Tanulja és jegyezze meg, hogy a százalékkal, az rövidítve %-kal! Mert a Volvo ezt megérdemli!
Hi Jim, will the new era involve overhauling Volvo Assist? Two of the last three call-outs was done by a sub-contractor, the most recent of which knowingly fitted a non-standard and incorrectly specced replacement battery. This has led to my XC60 now needing repair. And the promised replacement hire car, via Enterprise, failed to materialise (following abysmal communications) leading to me needing to personally go and hire a car to get my son to university. Given the importance/promise of Volvo Assist as part of the feeling 'safe' as a Volvo owner, I doubt my next car will be a Volvo. Almost forgot... despite the fact that the fitting of an incorrect battery led to my car being off the road (which it still is), it seems that the Caffyns Volvo dealership have, as yet, been unable to even get Volvo to agree to sorting out the battery/repairs at their cost. Ridiculous. This should have been instant. So, to avoid mind-numbing delay, I had to tell them to go ahead and fit the battery and that I'd expect to be reimbursed. Utter shambles and so not what the brand alleges to be about. Not safe.
Hi Charlie, thank you for bringing this to our attention. We are really sorry to hear of your experience, and we'd like to look into this further. Could you please send an email to our UK customer care team at custcare@volvocars.com, including your car's registration number? We'll let them know to be expecting an email from you, so they can assist you with this.
Have you complained to the dealership and/or to Volvo UK? I had an issue with my local dealership and to be fair they have gone above and beyond since with the service that I have received.
I’m hoping this got resolved.I’m a Volvo owner, and when you ever buy a car, you buy the car and service which makes you feel secure every time you drive your vehicle. Both of my parents have and had Volvos. I myself drive an XC60. I hope the brand loyalty is reciprocated.
I like the message have been a volvo buyer for 25-30 years but my recent involvement with the new dealership is disappointing. The selling of an add on that took a year to resolve the maintance people who are prone to selling an item i did not need to correct a problem that was still not resolved . I want to buy a new volvo but they are the only dealership in range. I feel saddend I want to stay with volvo the car ii have is the s60 rides well has excellent millage using the ecco . Oh well thank you for listening A loyal but sad long time friend michael
To be really safe it would be great to see Volvo cars coming armoured by default, at least B6+. Unfortunately the highest dangerous still being malicious people.
I lost my brother to a car accident when he fell asleep at the wheel. I've always been a cautious driver as a result, even 45 years later. Now, as a diabetic, I have to check my blood sugar before each trip to prevent the risk of a hypoglycemic coma from causing an accident. Knowing that the car can detect an issue, stop safely and call for help is a wonderful advance.
My experience with Volvo is unfortunately not as advertised here. I configured a Volvo V60 in 2020, with blind spot warning. This was a key feature, as I had already come to love and appreciate it in my Audi A4. Then came the semiconductor crisis and this Volvo was no longer built. I had the choice not to take a Volvo V60, or to take one without blind spot warning. As I had already returned the A4 at that point and no other car was quickly available, I had to go for the Volvo without Blind Spot Assist. If I had ordered a V90, this key feature would have been available. So Volvo doesn't care as much about safe cars as they always claim.
eu AMO o modo como a Volvo cars trata o consumidor. MUito antes - mas muito antes meeeesmo - de ser obrigatória a cadeirinha de proteção de bebês e crianças, por exemplo, a Volvo já tinha seu booster embutido em todos. Isto é CUIDADO, é respeito, é consideração com nós as mães. E fez toda a diferença do mundo em uma série enorme de acidentes que poderiam ter tirado a vida de milhares de crianças.
Rowan is the most silly CEO I've ever seen. 100 days? 🤦🏻Stop the surveillance, please. I'm a public figure who purchased an XC60 Polestar. Very few have one and Rowan is reading my script back to me 😂
the thing about wagons, everyone talks a big game about them but 0 people actually ever buy them... as a Volvo Salesman we get perhaps 1 per year who actually want to buy one new and the new ones we get sit forever. no one wants a wagon in the USA OR the euro market, an suv is just better for less.
let me start off by saying I love the Volvo cars. Im getting a new 2023 XC60. I appreciate your safety standards. But I feel your lacking in one area and thats your info center . everything is through that info center and by doing that it makes the driver take their eyes off the road and may cause an accident. please do something with the info system.

Obviously individual results may vary, but I feel 100% confident that Volvos are still the kind of car you can keep for years and years.
So exciting! Love to see Volvo leading the way in safety and technology. I only purchase Volvo cars. My family’s safety depends on it. Love my XC90! Volvo for Life!! ❤
Great presentation. Hopefully this translates to nice slim pillars for good visibility and NO TOUCHSCREENS!
May 2021 I bought a V90XC wagon. I was driving in Denver and went to switch lanes to another highway. A car came on my right going much faster than I was on the passenger side, and I saw an alert on my dashboard that said "accident detection, automatic intervention". My Volvo automatically pulled to the left out of the way of the car. I also like in cruise it automatically detects the car in front and will slow to the speed to keep three car lengths behind. I had a XC 70 ten years, and so glad I bought new. Volvo for life for me.
OOOOOO THE MOMENT WEVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR IS FINALLY ALMOST HERE🤩✨✨🙌🏾
Waiting with anticipation and I have a feeling this will be good. Awesome stuff volvo lets keep the vision alive. 💪
I've been waiting for this. Exciting times ahead!
Looks great conceptually, Jim! BUT need to see SAFETY inside/outside in action! Even me nodding off for a brief second..:)
Yes, absolutely.
Please check out separate other videos that explain safety for inside and outside
Congratulations on 200 thousand subscribers! Thats 200 thousand Volvo fans.
For that ambition to be fulfilled ALL the car companies have to work together to have all cars communicate with each other, so each knows what the other car is doing, it's direction and anticipated dangers.
On August 31st 2022 , I got my Volvo XC40. Love to see all the nice comments.
I'm already looking forward to the number of EX90s built and how long the delivery time will be.
Please make all the turning indicators amber, even in the North American market where it is not required. It makes a difference for safety. Red turning indicators may cause accidents.
Very nice.
What about the Volvo Concept Estate?... That's the one I want!
As a long supporter and driver of Volvo cars I welcome new technology that can make the roads safer and the driver experience better. But I see these technologies as an AID and not to be relied upon and assume they will always get you out of danger. In my years as a police officer and a police driving instructor in London too many collisions are down to bad driving. Lack of effective observation; lack of anticipation; and driving too fast too close. I recall when safety belts became mandatory a discussion on the radio that this could give a false sense of safety and security and the driver may not be as cautious. With all the tech on current cars the driver needs to understand that the laws of physics will still beat the tech and not prevent a collision. The cars I see daily in London being driven badly are those with all the tech. I welcome this new technology because even if it results in a small reduction in collisions then that is good. Well done Volvo.
Just in case someone from corporate is watching the page, I humbly ask that you please make enabling the pixel headlights in the United States a priority. The reason that the law was changed is because we are having serious safety issues with the LED lights blinding other drivers. It’s not just about a cool feature. 😊 thanks.
Pardon my ignorance,but is it a new product or new safety technology launch .Would like to be excited too...
Neither, news about upcoming news = hot air
Jim says clearly: he is announcing new Safety Standard in New VOLVO EC90 to be presented in few weeks! As a standard equipment for all EC90, and as us usually it happens, in following model updates. Regards!
@@experimental_av I agree.I think its a good Step by Volvo Marketing, it's very important to be in the news and release teasers like this event , to stay relevant in the challenging Automotive world. High hopes for the Electric Xc 90 aka EX90, launching in Nov 2022..[Tentatively].
I would like the 5 seater option. That’s what I have now 2018. More concerned with cargo than passengers. This is my second XC90 and I want to get the same car next time.
why does he look like he's speaking from heaven? did safety go wrong before?
Maybe he wasn't fortunate enough to have a radar monitoring how softly he was breathing... 🙄🤣
Please make the PHEV version for us non Full-EV types who have range anxiety. Can't beat best of both Wolds.
Thank you, Jim Rowan, for not using the name Embla. How awful! Reminds me of Edsel. EXC90 builds on the iconic XC90 name. Good move. Can't wait til Nov 9th.
Almost 8 min vid and I’m wishing for the time back. Liked how he dressed tho. It’s a good look.
am hoping these developments will be extended for inclusion in your absolutely wonderful V wagons.
Which of these marvelous safety features will be incorporated by the new XC 40 totally electric ?
The king of the safety #Volvo, welcome EX90!
Good morning Mr. Jim,
Is this laser able to detect children, animals or small objects below the fender and back bumper?
Is this new feature/safety for only XC90? What about the other model?
Thank you very time
There are ultrasonic sensors and fisheye cameras located in the front and rear bumpers to detect low lying objects. So, yes, the car safely stop for the use-case you describe 😀
All this safety stuff is very nice and all, but what about privacy? Or even safety against outside influences? Michael Hastings comes to mind.
He was driving a Mercedes
I mean you have to include that his brother flew to LA the day before to stage an intervention for a drug induced manic episode. Which is believed to have caused him to crash his car at a high rate of speed head on into a tree
I like how YT tells me there are two replies to my comment but they won't show up. What are they hiding?
@@Fokai-wq4hf I find that hard to believe, the angle that glowies might offed him makes a bit more sense, Michael quite literally said something among the lines of "I have something big to reveal" and he died/got involved in said accident shortly afterward.
Coincidence, I THINK NOT
@@Wasmachineman so the huge conspiracy theory with multiple levels of espionage is more believable?
Will the next-gen of Volvo cars still give the driver the capability of pushing through the safety-stop features, either through brake-tapping or accelerator depressing? As a Volvo owner in the South African market, hijacking remains a grave threat, so to know that it's still possible to override these features when needed the most would be exceptionally valuable to know.
Otherwise these features look great!
I think it will auto brake no matter what. But if you were actively moving to avoid the collision, then the autobraking will come on right before the collision.
VOLVO IM SOOOOOO LOVING THE FUTURE AND YOU GUYS NAILED THE NAME EX90⚡️
今後のEVにとても期待しています。そしてそれが早く日本にも来る事を祈っています。
Car of the future,Volvo🥇💪🎆
Volvo for safety Volvo for life #volvoforlife
Xc90 king of safety for ever;)👍
I'm currently a Volvo car owner. And proud of it. But this announcement raises me a question: how much will it cost? I'm sadly watching Volvo moving in a direction I call "only the rich deserve to own a car". Is this what's going on? Solving the current complex car problems by limiting the number or people allowed to have a car?
Sorry to tell you this but it’s been the same since the dawn of the automotive era; the wealthy finance innovation, the masses benefit. Eventually.
About a month ago, I purchased my 2023 XC60 Recharge. So far, it has exceeded expectations. The point, I was backing out in an indoor parking garage. It was dark, and as I pulled out, my car came to a sudden and jarring stop. I thought I hit something. I quickly turned around and saw a golf cart with dark paint and no lights speeding by me. If the rear collision detection did not pick it up, I would hate to say what would have happened.
Hi Gary. We are really glad you are happy with your new Volvo XC60 Recharge and it's exceeding your expectations!
YES , YES, YES! I do trust Volvos other than any car brands . That's why, I have 2 Volvos . V60 CC and XC60. They are both 2022 models. But unfortunately, New models of the XC60 are not reliable and have tons of problems. I bought my XC60 in December , 2021 and returned it in January 2022 and drove Volvo loaner cars for 2 months. In March 2022 , Volvo Sweden sent me another XC60. I still have problems like roof leaks etc. And Volvo US does not want to replace it again! As a cancer survivor, I got too much stress in the last 9 months!
Ich lasse mich überraschen, im S90, XC40, C40 waren die Assistenzsysteme jetzt nicht so prickelnd, bin die Autos dennoch gern gefahren. Man kann viel versprechen, am Ende zählt, was beim Nutzer ankommt.
Waiting for EX60 and EX40 to be announced!!!
Ok io sono già alla 4 generazione di Volvo , onestamente noto con dispiacere che i materiali delle nuove volvo non sono all’altezza del nome volvo anche se la tecnologia ha fatto molti progressi come la mia volvo la prima auto con airbag sotto al motore e lettura dei segnali e ACC Ma i motori rispetto alle vecchie volvo sono molto ben lontani dagli standard che si aspetta un vecchio cliente Volvo , complimenti al nuovo CEO per esser tornato al passato della volvo sulla sicurezza
Once again, we, VOLVO, are leading the way in safety. We’ve just glimpsed the future!
Excited!!🚙
Huge Volvo fan, wish I could own one
Sounds very interesting... long live the Volvo 850R
I absolutely love my 2012 S60T. No safety features ' and two recalls, but I'm still all for it.
I wish I wasn't so out-priced on anything other than what I have.
I'm a volvo fan as my old volvo has been through a few fender benders and no one has been hurt. The car is solid! My newer car has been in the shop for 2 months now with an engine problem so not sure about all the new computer stuff. My old volvo is 2001 and the newer one is 2017. So not so sure having more computerized cars is going to actually be better.
Love you Volvo, but how about starting with missed basics- offer built in recording dash cams? The cameras are already there. Then add slow moving sensors so I don’t hit the lawnmower or the bicycle in the garage, never mind a squirrel at 80 km/h. And add waist level cornering cameras so you can see gates, curbs, people, when making turns below line of sight. And rear sensors to warn of incoming fast approaching cars from the rear when traffic slows down.
Lastly, fix the annoying tailgate foot actuator. My dog or my foot sets it off when passing underneath. And when needed with arms full, it is finicky to engage.
Look forward to the future. Keep innovating. Thank you.
Exactly. Such an obvious oversight with the lack of recording with existing cameras even on my 2016 XC90. Secondly I agree. There should be am AUTOMATIC REAR FACING HORN for drivers who are not decelerating safely.
I'm speaking about activating the rear horn and flash the rear lights both when you yourself are having to decelerate quickly or when the driver behind you is detected to be approaching too fast.
How soon will this new EX90 be avail
In the USA?
We are opening order books in some markets at the reveal date on November 9th. Details about the market roll-out will be shared then.
Hello undoubtedly safe but is it electric 100% (range)?
The Volvo EX90 is fully electric. More details will be revealed on November 9th!
sooo parking sensors ?
will this apply on 22 and 23 volvo cars ?
I think SPA2 only 🤔
@@scottysvensson ohh 🙂
Around 3:10, he mentions it being released on all of the new EX90s. Unfortunately, you can’t retrofit LiDAR and the safety sensors on the 2022 and 2023 models that Volvo has already built. 😔 So you’d have to wait for it to come to newer 2024 or 2025 models if you didn’t want the EX90.
@@scottysvensson Agree!
Does it come with a digital v8?
Excelente previa del Volvo EX90
rear seat passenger alert (Radar) is world first introduced in Genesis GV70!
Szuper! Régi volvós vagyok, de az ég áldja meg a fordítót, aki a magyar szöveggel feliratozza a promóciós filmet. Tanulja és jegyezze meg, hogy a százalékkal, az rövidítve %-kal! Mert a Volvo ezt megérdemli!
Anyone has an idea what will be the mileage on it? Any guesses?
All details will be revealed on November 9th. Stay tuned!
Hi Jim, will the new era involve overhauling Volvo Assist? Two of the last three call-outs was done by a sub-contractor, the most recent of which knowingly fitted a non-standard and incorrectly specced replacement battery. This has led to my XC60 now needing repair. And the promised replacement hire car, via Enterprise, failed to materialise (following abysmal communications) leading to me needing to personally go and hire a car to get my son to university.
Given the importance/promise of Volvo Assist as part of the feeling 'safe' as a Volvo owner, I doubt my next car will be a Volvo.
Almost forgot... despite the fact that the fitting of an incorrect battery led to my car being off the road (which it still is), it seems that the Caffyns Volvo dealership have, as yet, been unable to even get Volvo to agree to sorting out the battery/repairs at their cost. Ridiculous. This should have been instant. So, to avoid mind-numbing delay, I had to tell them to go ahead and fit the battery and that I'd expect to be reimbursed. Utter shambles and so not what the brand alleges to be about. Not safe.
Hi Charlie, thank you for bringing this to our attention. We are really sorry to hear of your experience, and we'd like to look into this further. Could you please send an email to our UK customer care team at custcare@volvocars.com, including your car's registration number? We'll let them know to be expecting an email from you, so they can assist you with this.
Have you complained to the dealership and/or to Volvo UK? I had an issue with my local dealership and to be fair they have gone above and beyond since with the service that I have received.
I’m hoping this got resolved.I’m a Volvo owner, and when you ever buy a car, you buy the car and service which makes you feel secure every time you drive your vehicle. Both of my parents have and had Volvos. I myself drive an XC60. I hope the brand loyalty is reciprocated.
AWESOME!
My car is 5⭐star safety rated . Punch Adventure Ryhtm Pack white colour😃❤️✊👍
Can the pedestrian detection and AEB be turned off in Volvo cars?
Are you asking does the car have Dumb Mode? Why not just buy an American car if that’s what you want?
I like the message have been a volvo buyer for 25-30 years but my recent involvement with the new dealership is disappointing. The selling of an add on that took a year to resolve the maintance people who are prone to selling an item i did not need to correct a problem that was still not resolved . I want to buy a new volvo but they are the only dealership in range. I feel saddend I want to stay with volvo the car ii have is the s60 rides well has excellent millage using the ecco . Oh well thank you for listening
A loyal but sad long time friend

Come on dude, show the car!!!
Can someone explain what he said like I'm 5 years old ?
Harika! birde yeni modelin görselini görmek istiyoruz
I want that safety...that car...so much!!! Love you, V O L V O.
Thank you - we appreciate the support!
To be really safe it would be great to see Volvo cars coming armoured by default, at least B6+. Unfortunately the highest dangerous still being malicious people.
Heavy rain, snow, and dense fog cripple Lidar. Will there also be a radar-based augmentation?
bruh did you listen to 4:26 at all
Volvo for life. 💙
I lost my brother to a car accident when he fell asleep at the wheel. I've always been a cautious driver as a result, even 45 years later. Now, as a diabetic, I have to check my blood sugar before each trip to prevent the risk of a hypoglycemic coma from causing an accident. Knowing that the car can detect an issue, stop safely and call for help is a wonderful advance.
tutto bellissimo ma se fosse in italiano visto che qui siamo in italia capirei anche ciò che viene spiegato con tanta enfasi salutoni.
YES.
Exciting!!
Why are most of the replies missing when I click on them?
My experience with Volvo is unfortunately not as advertised here. I configured a Volvo V60 in 2020, with blind spot warning. This was a key feature, as I had already come to love and appreciate it in my Audi A4. Then came the semiconductor crisis and this Volvo was no longer built. I had the choice not to take a Volvo V60, or to take one without blind spot warning. As I had already returned the A4 at that point and no other car was quickly available, I had to go for the Volvo without Blind Spot Assist. If I had ordered a V90, this key feature would have been available. So Volvo doesn't care as much about safe cars as they always claim.
Can’t talk about safety when you’re using luminar instead of Microvison which has proven to have better specs in their LiDAR
eu AMO o modo como a Volvo cars trata o consumidor. MUito antes - mas muito antes meeeesmo - de ser obrigatória a cadeirinha de proteção de bebês e crianças, por exemplo, a Volvo já tinha seu booster embutido em todos. Isto é CUIDADO, é respeito, é consideração com nós as mães. E fez toda a diferença do mundo em uma série enorme de acidentes que poderiam ter tirado a vida de milhares de crianças.
Rowan is the most silly CEO I've ever seen. 100 days? 🤦🏻Stop the surveillance, please. I'm a public figure who purchased an XC60 Polestar. Very few have one and Rowan is reading my script back to me 😂
Awesome… but also build a retro 240 wagon that everyone wants.
Done right, that could be epic.
the thing about wagons, everyone talks a big game about them but 0 people actually ever buy them... as a Volvo Salesman we get perhaps 1 per year who actually want to buy one new and the new ones we get sit forever. no one wants a wagon in the USA OR the euro market, an suv is just better for less.
🧚♀️👨👩👧👦🙏Love from Kempten
Nice! But what’s with all the ping pong balls?
It’s an artistic representation of “point clouds” which are how LiDAR sensors see the world.
Super the best protection for human
Nyproducera 700-serien
This is the best car
I would love to see a Hydrogen Fuel Cell Volvo someday
get rid of touchscreen climate control and bring back physical buttons would reduce driver distractions and increase safety imo
Thank you for your feedback, we will log this internally. Kind Regards, Volvo Cars
let me start off by saying I love the Volvo cars. Im getting a new 2023 XC60. I appreciate your safety standards. But I feel your lacking in one area and thats your info center . everything is through that info center and by doing that it makes the driver take their eyes off the road and may cause an accident. please do something with the info system.
nice
All new Volvos come with a Breathalyzer to start it up.
amazing!!
