Volvo moving all of their SPA2 platform cars to Android Automotive 2022 which will bring the infotainment up to more than competitive to the german luxury brands. Same interface as the Polestar 2 and XC40 recharge (pure electric). Will be awesome to see this car with that updated infotainment.

As for the environmental stuff, I don't mind genuine attempts at an eco-friendly car, but what grinds my gears is when other industries which pollute heavily yet can easily be made eco-friendly are allowed to run wild.

Having the option to go fully electric is definitely pretty cool with the T8, but I'd imagine all that extra weight from the battery and motor would put some additional stress on the T6 engine when the battery is depleted. I have a 2020 S90 T6 R-Design with Polestar and I must say although already a heavy car its absolutely amazing! I love the car and would definitely buy another Volvo again down the road. Another excellent video!

Can’t say about this S90, but in my case with my 2010 XC60 the 4C active chassis control was SO different than those without it. It could be a very comfy and soft luxury family suv or a brutally firm “track suv”. And I agree with your multi-Volvo statement. Uncle had 4, I had 2. My first was actually his old S60. Never should’ve gotten rid of it, gosh it was an amazing car!

Seeing one of these on the road is unusual and very satisfying. I do think not having a 6 cylinder in it hurts its sales. It's not changed very much since its introduction. As for more physical buttons, the newest Volvo interior is the Polestar 2. It has the same amount of physical buttons as this car does. Not many. There's no new concept Volvo to look at but the new Polestar Precept also has a minimum amount of physical buttons inside. I don't like all the black gloss on the console. I prefer the wood slider to the black gloss plastic. Otherwise, interior is chic.

Is the touchscreen still super shitty? I own a tesla, and it's like using an iPhone. Very responsive . However we drove a 2018 version of this, and I'd have to touch the screen 3 or 4 times, it wouldn't slide left or ride easy, etc. Very annoying. I love their interior though.

@wesleywalls7582 3 года назад

As a two-time S90 owner (a 2018 and now a 2020 R-Design), it’s my opinion that there’s not a better looking sedan on the planet, and Volvo gets so much right about this car: exterior and interior design, packaging, etc. Having said all of that, I don’t think they’re particularly engaging cars to drive. One man’s “balance” is another man’s “wow, this is neither sporty or comfortable”. Count me among the latter. The ride is relatively harsh (and yes, I have the 4C adaptive suspension), and the power trains are downright course in execution. This is a GREAT sedan in search of a more refined ride and V6 power train.

@benjaminsmith2287 3 года назад

Volvos were inline 6s. I have one in my s80. Nice engine. The V6 they had at one point was shared with Peugeot and Renault and was not a good engine. Ride? I don't know. Tire pressure and wheel size seems to make a difference.

@adrien2228 3 года назад

I love Volvos, these are classy looking cars driven by great people 😂😂 In France, well you can be sure German car buyers are crazy drivers but I guess the way you drive in the US is different and more relax. I love this S90 and the interior is so elegant and refined, with these beige leather seats and a two-tone steering wheel plus the wooden trim on the dash. One thing I noticed, no ambiant lighting in any Volvo interiors and that's something I would want in a premium cars for 60k. I like the wheels also, they look elegant. I said a lot elegant because Volvos are beautiful. They are not supposed to be sporty cars because that's not what Volvo car buyers are looking for. And Volvos do a great job being a premium comfortable daily driver.

@Frejborg 2 года назад

I agree except ambient lighting is not important. It's fluff, for showing off. Volvo puts their development and money into important things, not showiness.

@@Frejborg You're right, Volvo focuses on what really matters. Ambient lighting is just a bonus. I think the one on the Mercedes lineup but just a white LED bar would be very nice, to highlight the interior design.

Something worth noting is that the north american market receives an S90 different from the European market. The North American market receives the same vehicles as the chinese market, these S90's are longer in length. S90's in Europe are shorter in length, just as long as a V90, they also lack the panoramic sunroof option as well as the middle rear seat "design".

@DivaniKingston 3 года назад

A 2.0l petrol hauling 2+ tons at 313hp. That engine is being overworked. I would expect a 2.0L petrol to pump out 200-300hp using forced induction, and hauling something weighing 1.5t max. Beyond that you need more displacement or a stronger block / forged components to ensure longevity.

@JesseVideos 3 года назад

The T8 cars are for sure to lease. The smart thing about Volvo moving to all 4 cylinder engines (besides being for safety and crumple zones) is that all of their engines are based upon similar components this entire generation. They are optimizing and getting more reliable as the generation continues. I’m sure it doesn’t hurt their their supply chain either and it does seem to help them catch any potential engine related issues. I haven’t had any issues with my recent T5 Volvo. I heard a lot of 2015 T6 (super+turbo) engines having issues early on, but not many complaints of high mileage 2018+ engines. The only downside of modern Volvo’s is they only give you 1 freaking key with the car.
