Volvo s90 has the best interior quality in its class.
Lin Chavez are u 12 years old?
Lin Chavez are u a 12 yr old kid?
Svante Elfsson i like to own a volvo s90
Do you even E class bro?
Wrong. E class.
If you want to be like every other upper middle class middle age guy: Audi
If you want a sweet car that's better than Audi but few know about: Volvo
lol come to sweden, everyone has an S90, even the police will have them soon as well.
No, many people have a V90, not an S90 even though the S90 is out of stock in Sweden and you won't be able to buy a new one until 2018.
Basically the same car, difference is wagon or sedan. Same thing with the A6, almost 90% are avants
I agree with this message. Here in NY you see German cars literally all the time. I would want something good that not too many people have. I'll choose the S90 over the A6 anyday of the week.
Dumbest thing ive heard
the audi is nice, but in the volvo you can really tell where your money went.
I am a little fed up with all these reviewers who only cherish sporty driving, performance, adrenaline and the like. It get a bit nagging. What happened to all other aspects of driving a car, like the quality of the ride, comfort, usability? I have a Porsche Macan and I never use the paddles, why should I use them on a VOLVO s90?
What do you expect? Look at the reviewer. Your typical Supra-loving frat bro crossed with a nasal know-it-all (when he really knows not a whole lot).
Comfort, usability, quality of the ride and safety got a name. The name is Volvo. Min grafis malakies me tis koudounistres tis porsche pou odigas. Porsche kai malakies.

Lack of appreciation thats all
Paddels are an option, at least in Sweden
I wonder who the hell needs paddles in a big luxury car?!..."Gives you sporty feel" ...right...
Erik Ahlander also in audi !
These new volvos are something else. Inside and out the car almost feels hand built.
Probably the best way I've heard it explained... Definitely feels like that.
The Volvo is beautiful, I just honestly don't like the powertrain.
DannyLlerenaTV when you put nothing but 4 cylinders in your entire vehicle line up, you're doing it wrong.
Why? When you can have over 300bhp from 4cyl plus electric, you have more than you need for daily driving...
It's not always about the power, 4 cylinder engines are not exactly the smoothest or most refined engines out there.
No, but the new 4 cyls from volvo is amazing. Have you driven one?
Christopher Forsberg they had to throw two different kinds of forced induction on it to get it to that power level. It's not a reliable way to make power, and it just takes that something special out of the car. There's a reason higher end cars have larger engines.
hey parker do you want to review a 1999 Toyota Corolla
try Regular Car Reviews.
MorginFremun+
No I think he's already reviewed this one
If you buy the Volvo in the r-design trim you get paddle shifters:)
I'd take the Volvo in a heartbeat
Inscription = no paddles
R-design = paddles
The Volvo is so beautiful omg!
Viktor Step It's gorgeous
Ikr it's so sexy
volvo killed the interior game with this new generation!
hey parker, great video as always! the work you put in your videos really pays of! especially in those reviews but also in the more chilled out and funny content :D
love what you are doing!!
greets from stuttgart
I really appreciate how comprehensive your reviews are. I'm always impressed by the quality of information you give about these cars.
You should have done your homework on the volvo. If you want shifting pedals on the steering wheel and more driving enjoyment, there is the r-design model which have sports chassis and shifting pedals. Inscription model is supposed to be more comfortable and luxurious.
Not sure i r-design is available in the states though
the people who go for volvo are not the kind of people that want paddle these prolls go for bmw/audi anyway ;D
Volvo is really getting up there. They're definitely competing with Mercedes, BMW and Audi. In fact, Volvo might just be better than Audis.
I suggest you go for a test drive and see; Those germans still feel more properly put together and are more quiet and better to drive, all of them...
Yea it looks posh but you can feel it when you are in it..
...Can anyone deny?
volvo is the best, it has been the best from the first car, the Volvo ÖV4.
+Bud Chronic You are totally right. I drove a 2016 XC90 at the dealership and especially the interior felt really plastic and cheap, even if it looks really good. Also the system with the touchscreen is very complicated, even compared to the outdated MMI. Would still go with the A6.
definitely better than a bmw
Yeah, you can probably feel the difference in driving. Volvo isn't really meant for driving fast, and dynamically. It's more for family cars, luxury and comfort. The engine isn't big so the families could think about fuel economy. The cars look really nice, even better than the Audis. I have driven both cars, and I would say that the BMW and Audi are driving better than the Volvo. But as I said, the main reason for that is that they're aiming for the safe driving and all around all daily commute.
Parker your reviews really are the BEST - I hope you take this concept all the way up !!
Great coverage and review. Good job and thanks for the video!
Hi guys! I really enjoy the review videos. As for the Audi's shifter being counter intuitive try thinking about it like this, "Push Up" and "Pull Down". Similar to loading and unloading the overhead storage compartment in a jet.
Thank you and keep the video coming!
You're come a long way with your editing. Keep it up.
Great video. Lots of info. Thanks for posting.
I would take Volvo everyday
Just because you are not allowed to configure your own cars on US market, doesnt mean that Volvo do not offer paddles - just go for the R-Design model, or R-Design Pro.
those Volvo seats are so comfortable
that A7 in the background at 00:36 looks delicious!
I like when you do comparison videos you do mini-clips in each vehicle to get points across as opposed to driving one completely and then the other.
You remind me of the Baby from the Incredibles Parker
Adam Vulture hahahahahahahahahaha true
Great review! Thanks!
Good work !! Keep it up..
I'd love to see VV do a comparison video between xdrive, quattro and 4matic, and if possible regular 4wd, and measure the differences among the first 3 on the exact same tyres on snow and ice to see which AWD system is better! There are videos on this, but they're not comprehensive, or in other languages.
parker, i think this should be said for once aswell. I really like your videos and think youre doing a great job. Keep up the good work!!
i would take the s90 over the a6 because it's so much more luxurious
Well looks like you havent seen the over specced a6😋
I have a 2006 volvo s60 2.5t AWD and its still in great condition I love Volo and what there doing now that S90 is amazing
Jay Polo I've Had to S80 and now I'm getting the S90 volvo rocks
Good review!
Well just wait for the Polestar and you'll probably be surprised
nice video, thanks for sharing. I have the S90. Very detail info for both vehicles. I like both brands equally.
My first car was a fully loaded '02 S80 T6. The interior was beautifully appointed with comfortable leather and the geartronic transmission has always been more responsive than the newer paddles that are in competing cars. Volvos are know for their safety and being packed full of features. I will always drive a Volvo for their impeccable style and fantastic handling and safety. I don't drive Volvo for flashy sport like handing and acceleration, however I drive Volvo because its an understated but luxurious car.
Thanks for your very deep analysis!
Volvo designers sure did step up with xc90 and s90. Audi is same old same old.
Precisely why the A6 beats the Volvo like a red-headed stepchild. Again.
You dont Know shit
Awesome review!!! Any plans on reviewing Jaguar Xe S? (35t r-sport in US spec)?
The rims on the s90 in your video are the optional 20" inscription rims, not 19"s which are standard for the trim level. Shift paddles are optional on all trims, and are standard on the upcoming R-design trim. And the driver display screen can be changed between multiple themes, one of which is a sport display mode called "dynamic" which shows a tach, speedo, digital speed readout, transmission gear, all in a black/bright red scheme. The optional air suspension also helps out a lot from a driving dynamics standpoint when in the "dynamic" or "individual" drive modes. (Coming from the owner of a new inscription model chosen after testing the other options in this segment)
That's an unfair compare. They are two different generations.
lol. agreed
Thomas for the powertrain ok, yes but s90 look so much better, it's simply fantastic
Not really. You can walk into either Audi or Volvo dealerships and purchase these cars, right now. So yeah, the comparison is valid. You'll always have current gen cars vs brand new gen cars.
Wenda Liu Bullshit. Do car magazines and journalists not compare cars in the same class to each other simply because they're at different points in their life cycles? No. It's a perfectly valid comparison.
KentB27 holy crap, I'm form kstate too!
anyone else notice how dark the inside of the A6 looks compared to the Volvo?
angelo davis Mostly due to interior color. The Audi had a Dark Brown whilst the Volvo had a lighter khaki/offwhite color
Intro song is Mr FijiWiji - Anphasia for anyone curious ;)
Dude, thanks a lot!
Shouldn't the s90 be a competitor to the audi a8, bmw 7 series and mercedes s class?
Yeah but it falls a bit short on that end I thought the same as well
S90 is lower than the a8 but higher than the a6..in the middle
If the Volvo had a 3+ liter v6 I'd be sold.
CAMPER Honsa my 2001 S80 is a V6 with 2 turbos but makes less than 300 horsepower and it's front wheel drive so bigger engine doesn't mean better car
A v6 makes a better noise than a 4 cylinder.
Only you Americans are able to buy those big engines that pollute without costs. Oh man if it was, i would be homeless...
volov s90 doesnt aim for these kind of clients stay at bmw/audi pls ;-) ps you prob wouldnt even notice the difference while driving
Poppon Mpoza hmm that's weird. Volvo never made a S80 V6. I think you mean an inline 6.
Very good report....wondering what your opinion is the Volvo vs the new Mercedes e300?
So proud being a swede when Volvo pretty much rules the game of premium sedans on its pricepoint
Haha dummaste jag läst...
s90 all the way
great review Parker. Not a fan of the S90 color choice, but both cars are stunners!
Get over the damn paddles. No one that buys these cars is going to use them anyway.
No, when you going down the hill with load of corners, you’ll know how important the paddle shifters are to keep the right gear and prevent your break boiling. I used to drive a none shift paddle Skoda superb, everyone driving downhill as fast as maniac, even the heavily loaded trucks ( since there are lots of coal companies located there) traveling at 60-70kph, you need to turning by one hand at the corner, you also need to shift the shifter to maintain the rev, and go faster, driving around 80kph downhill in a big family car which is not good at handling the road is narrow and broken and even more you only have one hand to turning the wheels, which is a bit terrifying
You can still manually change gear on a T6 engine with the gear lever. Just put it in sport and it will allow you to change gear. No need for paddles.
i agree with you parker the first similarity i noritced was the headlights
Awesome editing
Why the hell are you comparing performance driving of A6 and S90. These are entry level luxury cars meant for comfort, not performance. Americans just dont get European cars. + Volvo is a car company focused on sustainability
How is Parker 22 while looking 15 and 35 at the same time?
Can you review the new Lincoln Continental?
The Volvo is truely the winner here not the Audi it’s tasteful elegant and different. I don’t see many on the road and when your spending that amount of money it’s important for the car to be special not just fast.
On the Volvo, paddles are being saved for the R-Design model. That's why there are non included on the Momentum and Inscription trims.
Perfect review
You can get the "sport steering wheel" with the paddle shifters as an option on Sweden but I don't know if you can in the US tho.
Paddels are available as standard on the R-design models
Some may not like the (optional?) crystal shifter in the XC90 Inscription, however I'm sad it's not included in the S90. It's beautiful, if even something so small (and frankly doesn't feel the best) but just look at it.
Love my 2018 S90L . I put custom suspension and put after market 20" wheels on it. Its like a cabin of safety and looks slick as hell. Less common so people have almost never seen before unlike the others that no one outside the auto industry can even identify.
The V90 looks so much better from the rear than the S90
I had exactly the same feeling.. until i saw it irl. Have you seen them both irl?
kubarro yea i have seen many of both and now the s90 is starting to look better and better
where you see many of them irl :D i have one(s90) since january and never seen another one here in switzerland
hans meier in Finland, they are quite common here
That A6 looks like a big Jetta...
Do you have a window open in the the Volvo? Road noise is definitely more noticeable in the S90 compared to the A6.
I would take the S90. No lie, the A6 is really nice, but the S90 has such a unique interior design and it just looks freaking nice! I do personally like the XC90 more, but I love the S90!
I know with the XC90 you only get the paddles with the R design trim. I'm hoping that the S90 R design happens soon, but I haven't heard anything about it yet.
You actually can have the steering wheel paddles on the s90. They are an option.
2:38 That voice crack tho
5:20, you can adjust the dash display to a performance display which looks sporty. I love working for Volvo
Good intro man
you should review the s60 polestar
The paddles are an option if you have the R-design, the more "sportier" version of the S90
Volvo has paddles on the wheel as a standard option on the R-Design trim as it is made for sportier driving
I prefer the S90 because of all the pros you pointed and also because it's very distinguishable and the interior is amazing. The Audi A6 looks like all its siblings, so when driving it somebody could easily confuse it for an A4. It needs a major update both inside and out. Its going behind the rest.
Well, the A6 is a 7 year old car, maybe treat is as such.
maybe audi should step it up
Exactly, not a fair comparison of the technology, interior and really everything else. Every generation of Audi (and most all other makers) gets better with each new generation and this current A6 is likely the last before it's new version is released.
Kommentator It's just strange the way audi release a new car like every 25 years and when they come out they are better than all the rivals but quickly outdated when the new rivals like wtf
All car makers do this though, the Mercedes E-Class just got a refresh but went from 2009-2016. Perhaps it feels as you described because Audi will do it a year later than the competition?
Bradley Richards I'm an Audi mechanic. Convince me there is a car that was in Audis lineup for 25 years. Audi updates it's vehicles in pretty much always shorter periods than it's competitors due to the availability of shared technologies with VW.
You can get shifting paddles on the S90 steering wheel in Europe...
if you get r desing u can get the shift paddels
Any chance your team thinking of doing a comparison between Q7 and XC90
The back of that volvo is beat lmao
You should really try out the Volvo 244 d24, it is a legend in sweden
I test drove both of these along with a genesis g80. The Volvo interior is magnificent, the best in its class in my opinion. I ended up going with the g80 5.0v8. Cheaper than both, while not the best interior, the ride was very comfortable and that v8
I just kept lookin at that sexy white A7 in the alley
Hey Parker. Can you share the music at the beginning of the video? Thanks.
do some old school car reviews. Or just older cars. Like Volvo 850R/V70R first gen or something ;)
850R vs 95 Aero would be fun.
E55 AMG #w210life Would probably have to be the S60/V70R vs 9-5 Aero to be a fair comparison. The 9-5 Aeros are a lot newer than 850R's. I used to have a 9-5 Aero. Awesome car until I was a moron and put a stage 3 tune in it that ended up blowing the engine. I should have just left the car alone.
I'd easily take the volvo over the audi. If I were going to buy one of these I would value the interior way more than power. Especially with that sound system
Jesus, Im an audi guy.. But that Volvo definitely LOOKS better.. The styling of the Volvo is awesome
Jeez didn't realise a6's were so damn expensive, thought they ran in the high 40's
if the volvo had a powerful performance model with big hp it would be killer
You can have those paddles on your steering wheel. And have a sportier chassis and a bit aggressive look by choosing a R-design package. But I agree that volvo is meant to be more luxurious and a bit less sporty than its rivals. Its a real nice companion for long journeys. The interior design is also real relaxing and makes you feel peaceful. Audi is a bit more aggressive (you also drove the s-line model) so it really depends on what you want. If you commute a lot you will propably like volvo and if you want to have a little more edge you should pick audi or bmw. You really cant say that any of those premium sedans are bad.
In America, the estimated motor car, by type of plastic cover? Very funny.
Proud to be Swede!
Elias Ikea
Isn't Volvo chinese these days?
It is, but it's still made in Sweden.
DeltraFrostGaming - these immature jokes have gotten old
s90 production moves to china this year..
Paddles on the S90 is optional and cost around 150 bucks to add :)
My car's shifting is backwards too. I never use it and thought what the hell, I bumped it over and went for an upshift pulling it back and it didn't do anything, and then I looked down and went "Stupid shifter go UP not Down"
This car is really amazing, I have to get this car now. love you Volvo
The A6, 5 series, E class specced as a fully loaded S90 with B&W air suspension cost around 10k$ more than the S90 in my country, so its really obvious what to choose, plus a fully loaded S90 with B&W and air suspension costs 3k more than a merc E200 base model with 184 HP
Julian ye but dont forget this A6 is from 2012 so thats also unfair
You should review trucks and more suvs and you should put them to the test
