LA I don't like their way to mark the engines for example good old Volvo S80 T6 was actually straight six engine and older D5 engine also was actually straight five engine. New Volvos are badged with T6 and T8 and D2-5 that are not straight meaning to cylinder numbers.
That's the case with every manufacturer these days. Engine capacity goes smaller because of the emission rates and newer technology. There's really no point in making outdated N/A straight six engines anymore, since they are so much less efficient than these smaller engines. They are heavier, they are less economical, they have terrible emissions and are old news already. They are great engines, but not for the future anymore. Volvo, Mercedes, Audi, BMW etc etc. They all are doing this. 63 AMG label no longer stands for 6.2 liter N/A V8. Most AMG engines are sub 4 liter bi-turbo engines and Audi left out V8 from all of it's smaller models and went for 2.9 liter V6. In 10+ years all of these performance cars will be hybrids. I'd love a good old V6 or V8 engine, but they will be a thing of past very soon. Nobody will be making them anymore in the future, at least without hybrid tech.
Mercedes-Benz E-Class wagon is the king of all wagons, especially the AMG E63S. However, Jaguar, Volvo, Buick, Volkswagen, and Audi delivery nice wagons in the United States.
Super jealous!!!!!! Volvo makes some of the sexiest wagons out there!! We have an 03' XC70 and love it, these are even nicer!! I do wish Volvo kept the inline 5 turbo.. it was such a great engine.
I agree with you, Volvo should've kept the Inline 5. The new Supercharged+Twin Turbocharged inline 4 is not very reliable engine plus it sound shit compared to the old 5 banger.
Jasper Taylor yeah we have 240,000 miles on ours how... or about 380,000 kilometres as we live in Canada, but the car still runs and drives very well.. the only major problems we’ve encountered was when you’d turn a signal on it would also turn the high beams on lol, and our AWD stopped working too.
I became an airplane mechanic by going to vocational while in HS, im 19 working at my local airport getting $35 an hour plus 10 hours of OT a week, next year I'm going to work at Pittsburgh and they already accepted my bid and I will start out at $48 while being promised I will be at $58 within 2 years, 12 hours of OT as well and no student loans and I get free flights, College is a terrible decision unless you can get a scholarship or go into the military
@@liamlyda2116I graduated from a vocational HS that offered an AMT program as well. I believe the last time I checked, the average student loan debt was roughly $30,000. Sort of sucks graduating with that amount of debt, oftentimes without a decent job. It's unfortunate how many kids get sucked into the narrative that college is the only path to success...only to end up in debt.
I drove a V90 T8 today and it was lovely. Trying to decide between this and a BMW 540i Touring. Very tough choice. Yet to drive the 5 series. The Volvo dealer has offered a fantastic deal on the car because the boss hates BMWs apparently.
Cross Country version is the best and the R-Design is the best looking, the inscription trim with exterior styling package looks amazing too.Also the upcoming band new V60 looks nice as well 🌚
I control my V90 TC climate - temp, steering wheel and seat heating all through voice command. The same is true for most audio controls. Never had a problem with the navigation once it understands where I am going. The biggest frustration with Navigation voice is two: first you must use the exact name of place not common reference and two changing the state to the one you want to search for a destination is extremely helpful.
theyre very safe aswell! som idiot drove in the the wrong direction and hit me straight in the side. Broke the front wheel axel but not a scratch on me!
I think automakers should focus on promoting wagons now, with oil costs climbing, it may be chance for wagons to make a jump start on the market and steal SUV buyers
It's Ders Mane I agree I think SUV are in an over abundance and many people choose them because there is little to compare. An awd wagon with nice interior could be a good seller.
When you put the moonroof open you don’t hear anything,it’s amazing,I couldn’t figure it out until I looked and you could see a tiny little mesh screen pop up.and I agree,that infotainment system is too much when driving
I would really appreciate it if you'd show up in your night drives the ambiental lighting offered in each model. I know the Germans excel in this department. It's one of the best interior features of modern cars. I would like to see how other brands, like Volvo, use ambiental lighting.
I have a question, I believe the R design V90 has the High or Mid-Level Interior Illumination, I did not see that anywhere inside. Was it turned off? I'm in the market for a S60/V60 once they arrive, and they are advertised the same way, but I just can't see any actual pictures or videos of what it looks like inside. Thanks!
With the touch screen, I couldn't agree more. Car manufacturers need to understand that when you're on the road (driving) you need not navigate 4-5 sub-menus to get to climate control. A configurable "speed dial" or "quick favorites" menu on the home page of the touch screen can work wonders, so you can add what you need there and access it at a glance.
I totally agree with you about the Sensus infotainment system. I special-ordered a 2018 V90 Cross Country T6 wagon just like this one, and then I decided to not take it for several reasons, this one being among the worst. They should really put climate controls and audio controls back into buttons that one can reach easily without looking, and Volvo needs to put more features on the steering wheel -- like other car manufacturers have done much better at. It's so ironic that Volvo is known for being among the safest cars, and then they go and make this totally unsafe infotainment system that requires the driver to take his/her eyes off the road for very long periods to deal with what should be easy changes in climate or audio, etc. And the infotainment system also lacks the ability for the driver to permanently disable things like auto-start/stop and locking the doors when the car starts -- two more things that, when added all together, made me choose another car brand (which is a shame, because this is a really neat car in so many respects!). I hear that Sensus has been upgraded just now (Sept./Oct. 2018) for the 2019 models, to improve some of the frustrating aspects of earlier versions (it starts up faster; you can apparently now permanently disable auto-start/stop), but those other problems noted above still seem to be there. Great review, by the way! It's very important to see how any car drives at night, and very few reviews (and very few test drives) tend to get into night-time drives.
You can use the speech input to adjust all those functions. Touch the voice control button, say "set temp to 70*" the system sets the temp to 70. If you say "turn temp up" (or down) it adjusts the temperature 1* up/down. You can also say "enable auto" and it will turn the auto climate back on. This is the intended method from Volvo. They want it to be a completely hands-free process for absolutely zero eyes-off-the-road driving. Their PR/marketing team totally dropped the ball on disseminating that information out to (prospective) buyers. :(
Also -- the sales guy I initially looked at V90's with at our Volvo dealership didn't even know this feature existed...so I'm really not surprised consumers aren't aware of it. He thought I was asking HIM to adjust the heat when I started talking. He was messing with the screen and I was like, "no...the car will do it...watch" :)
V50 was based on Ford's Focus platform. If you want to compare it to a car from 2008 then you should use the V70R. Which was the sporty version of the flagship wagon
In your XC90 review, you mentioned the elevated levels of road noise when compared to the German brands. Does the V90 exhibit the same level of NVH or is it better isolated than the XC90?
Can you try and test drive a Honda Clarity PHEV? I am very curious what it looks like at night inside and out. Plus your honest opinions on these cars is always welcomed. Love your videos!!
The gauge sweep on the digital display looks very laggy when you turn the ignition on. Is this always the case when powering the vehicle on? How long does it take to become less laggy? Is the main infotainment screen this way too?
Volvo has pushed out a few firmware updates to improve the various screens (lag and boot times) in the time since this video was uploaded (May 2018). Some people were experiencing 1min30sec-2min boot times of the main infotainment, these updates have removed all lag and said boot delays.
Also, I'll add that on the sweep specifically you might be seeing some of the FPS drop between the screens and the camera itself. Not sure the precise specs, but it is similar to when you view LED taillights on video. The LED's are blinking so fast, yet the camera maxes (depending on region) at a particular FPS so you will see the flicker. I test drove a V90 ~2 months ago and the gauges/infotainment were smooth as silk.
@@break_it_bill Thanks for replying. That's good to know they provided updates though. Apparently the new S60 and V60 come with faster processors too so they could be even better. I just wanted to know because I love the look and style of digital gauges, but would rather have analog if the digital is super laggy. Would just bother me.
@@sometimes5207 No problem. And yes, it would definitely bother the heck out of me, too. If would be off my current cross-shopping list if it were present, that's for damn sure. I'm getting another extended look at one tomorrow (oddly enough) -- I'll report back either way good/bad and let you know how this one does. :)
Zach Steele it is fast but not a gas guzzler ! The seats are super comfortable and supportive, the Harman Kardon sound system is fantastic, the interior design is very upscale. People stare at traffic lights🙃 the trunk is huge, great for hauling stuff...I haul our two dauchsunds 😂 get one I’m convinced you will love it
Zach Steele actually I have the T5 FWD with the Advance Package, R Design Full leather seats, heated front seats and steering wheel, child boaster seats, protection package premier, power operated load cover, 20” R Design wheels and Red Key
How does this compare this to the new Jaguar F Type Sport Brake? Horsepower and torque numbers notwithstanding. The Jaguars performance is impressive to be sure, but I'm curious about the luxury and amenities comparisons.
Andres Valdes B So, despite the fact that I clearly acknowledged the Jaguars superior performance vs the XC90, you still felt the need to reiterate my own words regarding the Jags superior performance and handling?
J High just a Google pic of both cars interiors is pretty much the all you will need to make a decision on that, oh by the way having seated in one the newer volvos, I will tell you something: it is out of this world. Just that.
These are very nice and all but I would say that the Volvo P1800 is the most beautiful Volvo ever made. The only sportscar they they ever made aswell. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volvo_P1800
Don't get me wrong but I feel like they could have made it a little more powerful for beeing turbo and supercharged. But I guess they had their reasons
The supercharger couples when you want to accelerate, and decouples when the engine is high enough RPM for the turbo to take over. Mainly to produce low end power and eliminate turbo lag.
Cannot believe nobody is missing a 6-cyl in such an expensive, luxury car. 4-cyl is just not suitable with luxury. True car enthusiast would be bodered with that.
SA13 when diesel engines will cut off in Europe..... Than volvo will make new eletric and petrol engines for hybrid, hoping for a 6 cyl after the 2020!! Would be very great, also for an extreme version, as polestar, like rs6 or e63 amg.... Would be curious
That setup is not that comon here in Sweden, only rich people and bosses drive those cars in my opinion. This car being tested with maxed equipment is hard to compare to the average Volvo. The most common S/V90 is around D3-D4/T3-T4. 1.6L diesel/petrol engine with around 130-160hp around 200-300 000SEK (23 000 - 35 000$). The new modern Volvos looks very expensive but can be fairly affordable for the average worker.
Listening to it go over bumps is disgusting. When you start the car up, that stupid tone, like what is this a kia? There slow and ugly gauge cluster, bad infotainment, bad build quality. Volvo isn’t what it used to be I’m sorry.
Very underrated car.
Shellyman Studios overrated in my opinion. Poor 4 cyl engine and ugly taillights. Yes, i like Volvos but these new ones are a lot worse.
how is the engine ''poor''?
LA I don't like their way to mark the engines for example good old Volvo S80 T6 was actually straight six engine and older D5 engine also was actually straight five engine. New Volvos are badged with T6 and T8 and D2-5 that are not straight meaning to cylinder numbers.
Jussihin Yea i know that kinda sucks but it has nothing to do with the actual performance or reliability of the engines themselves.

i really wish more manufactures made wagons
They do but they don't bring them to the US :(
I really want the Mazda 6 wagon but oh well
It's because nobody buys them here.

Im waiting for the V60 T6 R design to be available for OSD purchase.
Cant wait for day drive
Watching this video It struck me that I haven't ridden in a car for around 10 years now.
I wish Volvo's weren't so expensive now a day. I remember in 2008 a V50 r design cost somewhere in the $30k
the v90/s90 is the premium car to compete with the german elite, Audi/Mercedes/Bmw. The s60 r is very nice aswell with a lesser pricetag.
V50 was based on Ford's Focus platform. If you want to compare it to a car from 2008 then you should use the V70R. Which was the sporty version of the flagship wagon
Lights in the door handles...whaaaat? 😮😮
Stefan Modigh common on luxury european cars
Sounds like a LOT of noise coming from the asphalt. I can't see any bumps on the video but I can hear a lot of knocking from the bottom of the car.
Damn it did have a good amount of grip. Impressive

It's not supercharged. Only the turbo feeds the engine. The supercharger is used to spin up the turbo to reduce turbo lag.
wrong,.. it has a turbo and a supercharger.. the turbo has a kompressor as you say, but it has a supercharger aswell
FsAviX No I build the engine so I know exactly how it's made.
A supercharger is a kompressor. Mercedes call it kompressor. Jaguar call it a supercharger.
Sgt4skin No its a compressor engine

Wait.. Does it has some kind of exhaust sound? Thats pretty uncommon for Volvo. (But great of cause..)
I take it you have never heard a Volvo 5-cyl car? Kinda known for their exhaust note.
These are very nice and all but I would say that the Volvo P1800 is the most beautiful Volvo ever made. The only sportscar they they ever made aswell.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volvo_P1800
Nice!
Nice but too large? Prefer V60CC
For a big car that T6 doesent have enough power. It's not slow, but it's not very fast either.
Flyingtom80 d6 is much faster than t6
front end is nice, back end not so much, lighting looks wierd
it reminds me of audis when they were actually good looking
Test BMW X6
Don't get me wrong but I feel like they could have made it a little more powerful for beeing turbo and supercharged. But I guess they had their reasons
The engine is super then turbocharged, not and. So it really is just a single forced induction 2.0 I-4
Really? How does that work? The compressed air from the supercharger goes into the turbo's intake and get's even more compressed?
The supercharger couples when you want to accelerate, and decouples when the engine is high enough RPM for the turbo to take over. Mainly to produce low end power and eliminate turbo lag.
More power? base model has 320bhp.
T5 is the base model with 250BHP

That setup is not that comon here in Sweden, only rich people and bosses drive those cars in my opinion. This car being tested with maxed equipment is hard to compare to the average Volvo.
The most common S/V90 is around D3-D4/T3-T4. 1.6L diesel/petrol engine with around 130-160hp around 200-300 000SEK (23 000 - 35 000$).
The new modern Volvos looks very expensive but can be fairly affordable for the average worker.

Hate the rear end so much... On this gorgeous car those tail lights are ugly AF.

Listening to it go over bumps is disgusting. When you start the car up, that stupid tone, like what is this a kia? There slow and ugly gauge cluster, bad infotainment, bad build quality. Volvo isn’t what it used to be I’m sorry.
I don't like wagons at all!!
Its nice but its a fooking wagon lol

Silentix ...and SUVs

If you get a wagon with a V8 in the other hand... Now you're talking!
