2018 Volvo S90 - Review and Road Test 

everyone who liked this will sleep comfortably

One of these was next to me in traffic today and man, it’s breathtaking in person. Absolutely beautiful.

Incredibly smart looking along with the XC90, I especially like the front grille.

I just brought this model and I love everything about it. The inside is amazing and its a pleasure to drive

I swear this car would've been perfect if the rear didn't look ugly AF

You were really inspired in this video, Micah! lol I would choose this Volvo in a heartbeat instead of the german trio.

The back looks like a mid 90s car, Ill take it

I'm tired of these luxury cars boasting massive horsepower and shit. why can't I get accord gas mileage with a mercedes interior???

the "get off the highway oldman" was hilarious

For the first time in my life, I have fallen in love with a Volvo

Just bought a 2013 S60 T5, super stoked to continue my line of buying only Volvo for the rest of my life

I do not own this car. However, when I went to the rental counter in Ft Lauderdale to pick up what would normally be either a C-Class, an Audi A4 or similar, they said, they only had this S90. My first thought because of its size was, "it is a yacht". After leaving the lot, but before going to my meeting, I went back and asked if anything smaller had come in. The answer was no! So I kept it. Boy, I am so glad that I did. After they told me how to kill the irritating start/stop system, the car actually grew on me. It was so stately, large in size, but because it was square you could easily sense where the corners were. It was smooth, it was quick and it was quiet. Although not sports car nimble, it handles very well and it tracked just where you pointed the steering wheel. The main thing was the safety features. The lane keep assist feature was actually kind of aggressive. If you started to float over a lane without the turn signal on, it definitely pushed the steering wheel back with energy. When I had the road to myself, I release the steering wheel, with my fingers hovering over the rim of it and it went almost a mile, before insisting I grab the wheel. The 360 degree camera is awesome with augmented lines. The screen picture looks like a drone is hovering over your car as you maneuver. The automated cruise control, quickly stops the car down with braking if someone jumps right between you and the car ahead. The sensors let you know when you are too close to the curb and provided strong visual signals when pedestrians were behind me. Last of all, the car for its huge size, really did get decent mileage. I'd never buy anything that big, but I think it is a great car. Go ahead, Volvo.

Those HVAC vents should have been on a Lincoln or Caddy. Beautiful. Just a missed opportunity for the Americans per usual

"Sometimes it's best to ignore everyone else." Couldn't have said it better myself.

that seat belt function should come standard in every modern car

have a great day everyone. you are beautiful.

I love how this car looks...except for the rear-end.

Fantastic review as always! Love the track driving

I liked it........... Until I saw the back....

I plan on buying the 2018-2019 s90 in 3-4 years when it hit its sweet spot in depreciation. By then Volvo hopefully would of released yet another new design making this one even cheaper.

I have a 2016 Volvo S-60 and if the parking sensors on this Volvo are anything like my parking sensors, start writing checks to Volvo for body damage. Back-up sensors are intermittent at best. The large yellow bollards at the Waffle House? nope can't detect them, people in certain clothing? Nope, can't detect them. No audible sound at all. If you are going to buy a high-end Volvo, check the internet for all the problems customers are having with them. Volvo customer service, another joke. They said everything was fine with the sensors up until I had video of it happening. Next thing they said, I turned off the system. Just check before you buy a Volvo. FYI: I also have a 2014 Q-50 Infinity, not one problem.

The Volvo S90 really is the new interpretation of the modern luxury car. All the others luxury car makers spin massive engines at the top of line, but the S90 has an efficient 250 Hp 2.0 engine that can scoot admirably when demanded. No it's not a massive V-8 with 700 Hp, but it has so many USEFUL tech features that makes for a supremely secure driving experience. Unlike some automakers, you can actually turn off the auto engine stop feature from the very impressive touchscreen command center. They did this right. I found the Volvo S90 's tech and safety features so easy to use and so intuitive, I was actually amazed. I thought I would have to row through a river of complicated features, but the Scandinavians got this right. So thoughtful, so intelligent, so brilliant and with frugal fuel economy. Despite the somewhat miserly fuel economy, this vehicle is capable of getting out of it's own way when necessary. The 2018-19 Volvo is a serious and commanding executive level car. The price points are no where near the top level Mercedes, Lexis, Audi, and BMW but you will feel just as special in the car.

man I wish it was available in a V6, turbo 4s don't really do it for me. however I'm considering buying Volvo now just waiting for the new s60.

The rear looks rather unflattering, imo.

Great review as always Micah

The front is so gorgeous for such an ugly rear

I need that t shirt

Where have I seen those roads before, Oh wait, it's right next to my house!

BIG Thumbs Up 👍🏼 Volvo has really stepped up their game. Look 👀 at that Interior!

I don't like that "seat belt must be on to move" feature at all. Nice car though other than that

718 review coming soon?

Looks totally gorgeous, hats off to the designers.

Just bought this car a few days ago and I am in love with it.

Thank you for this review! It helped me make the decision and I just bought a highly loaded, new 2017 S90 T6 Inscription.

I think this is one of the best looking cars on the road right now. And the interior might be better than the exterior. You don’t see many of them, but I would take this over the other cars mentioned in the review.

Dam this car is sexy I have a 06 Volo s60 but this thing right here is a shark on the road

I've fallen in love the elegance of wood trims

I think all of the Volvo models are good looking right now.

So if I just want to move my car a few feet for whatever reason I have to put my seatbelt on or this nanny state can't won't let me move it? Volvo and their 4 cylinder engines can kiss my ass. 👎

The v90 looks much nicer than the s90. The interior is wonderful though. So elegant

Gorgeous in person. Not as large as I had expected, however. I have a Honda Clarity and it's just as big. That being said, this is on my list to look at in 3 years when depreciation has worked its magic. Micah, you're not hard to look at either......just sayin'.

Who's watching this is 2019?

"get off the road - old man" "GET OFF THE ROAD - OLD MAN" i always love people who mouth off but won't pull over for a very personal discussion.. and yeah i am an old man but you don't get to disrespect me no matter what i drive.

Great review, but c'mon guys! Put the headlight stalk into auto for the review so we can see the lightwork. You guys always have the LED's off!

Awesome music but, should I be surprised? Your reviews are awesome.

Great review 👍. As you said ‘sometimes just do what you want to do’. UK roads are full of BMW 5 series, Audis, Jaguar XF’s etc. This makes a refreshing alternative 👍👍.

FOR MOST SAFETY .. THE REST IS AVERAGE BUT FOR THE SIZE AND THE CLASS OF THIS CAR , THE BASIC MODEL OF THE CAR IS COMPETITIVE PRICE FOR WHAT IT OFFER ...

Didn't expect that in the end.... You guys are awesome.

What if you unplug the seat belt while driving? Or maybe it wouldn't allow you to unplug it.

Everything looks good... but man that back looks so outdated

Volvo is just killin' it with the styling of all their vehicles. Best looking design language going right now.

Up until the late 1980s a true mid-sized car (todays "full-sized" cars) would still , for the most part, fit three grown-ups comfortably in the rear seat.

That's an awesome shirt!

Hey guys im 6'5 280 pounds. Big guy in length and width. Question is will I fit in this car?

Damn, the rear end fucking blows.

how many miles do these cars get and are they still around to get parts ? I heard that the manufacterer is now only making electric cars now is this true?

Mid sized?? I think full size

so much IKEA inside

Wish it had a V6 but overall the car's looking great.

2:26 that's exactly how it feels moving your hand on it

This car wins the "best car that you can't buy because its back is ugly as fuck" prize...

That rear end would've been great for the early '90s, but for 2017...

I am currently looking for a car in this class. I have to admit that to me these look beautiful inside and outside. But 4 cylinder engine and "nanny state philosophy" of the car would prevent me from buying this one. May be I will buy one when I am older.

the exterior is so ugly especially the back but the interior I nice rather get a Genesis g90

Awesome review!

These are, without a doubt, my favorite car reviews. Looking forward to the V90 review as that would be where I'd prefer to spend the kids college fund.

I like how the Swedish flag matches the KKB logo.

Snag the wagon over this. It looks gorgeous.

The front and the interior of the car are nice, but what was Volvo thinking with the back? Looks ugly as hell

Give me the V60 Polestar

Kind of looks like a Kia Cadenza

uhm....this is no longer a swedish car....why are you pretending it is??? (nothing against the car....i love it!!! can't afford it but i love it)

Why? Because Volvo

aint that that same place donut media does shoots?

I want the s90 t8

"Inattentive moose magnet" 😂

Good info. Thanks for posting.

Well, Volvo still hasn't gone back to RWD. But at least they tweaked the styling with a short front overhang and long dash-to-axle ratio to give the car at least the appearance of an up-scale RWD premium luxury car.

Thor's Hammer?????!!!!!!! Don't you mean Muhammad Sabre now that Sweden is an islamic republic

The back looks ugly. Also, can't justify getting a Volvo over a Mercedes or Audi...

The only thing that felt non-intuitive was the infotainment system while driving. Too many swipes while driving the car. That was my experience on the XC90. Nice cars though.

Hi KBB! Have a great day!!

70k for a 4 banger.

Very cool video, Informative and interesting, when you put the helmet on you should've taken your shirt off for sporting effects, Lol. I liked the way that Porsche dude said see ya later dude! and sped off. Do you remember back in the day the proverbial Volvo was the car on every 80s and 90s movie of the week scenario

wow, the same engine in all of volvo lineups?? talk about cutting corners and maximize profits

Styling is good for grandny and grandpa

E class all the way

Decent review but your puns/jokes are super cringe. Distracted me from the review a little.

Lol this is midsize? This thing is huge

The trunk size is smaller than Civic, eh that's a bummer, it is a long car! Why so small Trunk!!

I work at a Volvo plant. I may be getting one of these. It is an impressive car. I have a 2008 Ford Edge (which is awesome and I adore it) with pretty high mileage and I could use another vehicle to give the Ford a break from time to time.

If that car was RWD and sportier Id buy it over all of the German cars any day. I love that design, especially the back.

That is not how 4 cylinder sounds like...I test drove it and it is impressive, but too expensive.

I do wish the XC90 had the S90 style HVAC vents. I think they look more upscale than the current XC90 vents.

Wow. I'm glad we have you Micah. I love Volvo cars. I wish they had a 'no-text' or 'text-kill' feature. That would make me happier than the 'no-drive w/o seatbelt' feature.

Kate Upton of the luxury midsize segment. Great in the front, but the rear.....

I have to say to watch what could be a hum drum auto review, Micah makes it entertaining and even a joy to watch. That said I think the design front AND back are cool and sleek and I'm glad to see cars coming back to looking good on the road again. I have seen a few of these Volvos on the road and I think they look good in person.

He is wrong about one thing that Volvo s90 is full size sedan not mid-size sedan.

Damn 6 years i feel old😢

Epoch by Tycho.... Right mix to test the Bowers and Wilkins system!!
