I love my XC40, but I got it because there was no local inventory for a V60 Cross Country. I’d love a Volvo wagon. And with the price differential, it’s so worth it compared to the Mercedes or Audi offerings.
I have the 2022 MB E450. Love it so far. I am a large driver, 6’6” 280lbs, and it fits me well, except when the rear seat is in use. Plenty quick and looks sharp.
I have a 2022 V90 CC and the choice was clear, lower power but my god $25k LESS for the Volvo. There are tradeoffs but not nearly enough to justify 25 K more. The polestar upgrade narrows the torque/hp gap considerably.
I have a 2010 Volvo V70 R-Design, the last year for the V70 wagon in the US. Took me a while to find one since they only imported about 300. Volvo doesn't even bring the V90 anymore, so it looks like it's the V70 for a few more years. It's my 5th Volvo wagon. I love the minimalistic Volvo approach to the interiors as it's a vehicle not an entertainment center.
I owned an "89 Volvo 740 Turbo Wagon bought used with 18K miles and sold 20 years later with 285K miles. Now Im ready for my last car and the V90 CX may be it. In between I owned a Q45, a Pilot a CRV and Merc E350. The current Honda SUVs make it a tough choice, but Volvo SEATS and framed doors may be the deciding factor.
How does an SUV market even exist if Wagons exist? More efficient, almost same space except for head room and spare wheel space . Better styling and more visibility in the wagon too ! E450 Matic became the best car for me
I owned a 1990 MBZ E300. Loved it but in 2006 it was averaging $350/mo for service. (Didn’t break down but when it needed work I pd a lot) So I purchased a 2006 Volvo V7”R. $52k Still have it and love this car. I hope to see it turn 250k. Currently 138k. I am looking for a newer model and will look for a 2019/2020 MBZ or V90. I don’t know why Americans love the SUV. Wagons have as much space and drives way better than any SUV. I use manual wheelchair and when I am with someone they put the chair in the back. I need to be sure the chair fits in the back of the V90.
It's sad that the only wagons available cost 50k or more. I Wish Toyota would bring their wagon to the states but that's a pipedream. It's only Subarus for me I'm afraid, although that's not a bad thing
I would much prefer both cars without the plastic body accents. I would also like the cars lower. I’m not an SUV fan and would much prefer the wagons to look more like cars. These are not going off road.
@@johnrodgers6049 I think that if you want more sporty looking car you have to choose the r-design model witch has the chrome parts blacked out and more sporty lines👍
The Mercedes can tell you a joke and do a lot more. You didn't use the wake words, "Hey Mercedes.". Shame on you for not knowing that lol, but you are reviewing it so you should know.
