Jaguar XF Sportbrake Vs. Volvo V90: No, You Don’t Need An SUV 

That is exactly true- I need an SUV because I want to drive light off road when some (> 20 cm) ground clearance is needed. Some people do accept this simple fact-some have no idea....SUV is all about flexibility of different applications - it is not about real sport!

I need them because I want to drive light off road when some (> 20 cm) ground clearance is needed. Some people do accept this simple fact-some have no idea....

And then the Jaguar with the V8 supercharger would see off the Volvo no problem. Dont get me wrong, I love Volvo's. But dynamically, between a Jag and a Volvo, there's no competition. Jaguar every time.

@@stuco81 yes but the jag in this video has a v6

You know that Porsche sold more 918s than Sportbrakes in America such a pity

It definitely depends on the dealership. My local Jaguar dealership almost rolls out the red carpet for you, and they have salespeople who are passionate, not snobby in the least.

crwl007 Good to hear not all are like that. There we're literally 5 salesmen standing in the showroom doing nothing. I had to approach one to ask about a diesel Discovery, since we are looking for an SUV as well. Didn't seem interested in showing me one. Said it was on his overflow lot and left it at that. Oh he did say its just like the Si6 model, in which I replied except for the "diesel engine" and fuel and towing...Anyway. Dealership is in Chantilly VA. Had the same experience at Land Rover of Austin, TX. Despite this I have, up until recently, owned an 03 Disco II and an 08 Range Rover Sport SC. Not sure what the disconnect is between dealerships other than location and demographics I guess. Glad you've had good experiences at your's. :)

With the Volvo you also get that Volvo reliability: bottom of the heap according to Consumer Reports

tAui Yt Unfortunately, there is no T8 V90 in the US.

Or Polestar Optimized? Makes a difference for sure - now as far as vs SUV... We have both the V90 and XC90 - For long travels the V90 is fine but the XC90 gets the nod - The V90 is low and rubs sometimes - but that's what you expect with that sportiness. In terms of space the XC90 has more height but both have a lot of room. I love both - and yes both are Polestar Optimized. I considered the Jag but the interior has the luxury of a Genesis - not bad but not for me.

Or the 575 bhp Jaguar XF V8?

Some people care about how cars drive.

The V90 Cargo numbers are based on different standards than most US vehicles and are misleading. Basically they only measure vertically up to the bottom of the rear window. It has a *ton* of cargo space in the back ...

n query Ahhhh. Well that's good to hear. Thanks for the clarification.

To start with this model has 4 wheel drive, no way will that engine pop at 60k, if that were true it would be all over the papers !! plus Volvo give a warranty up to 60k.

Don't know where you live, I think the US but in the UK and all over Europe you can buy cheapish wagons or estates as we call them and you can buy say BMW's, Jag's, Audi's from far lower specs than their AMG, RS, M power or the R-S range. The US market is very different from over here. Just looking at the drop-down menu it claims the Jag has a base price of 70 grand, over here it's 37 grand, so basically they're only selling that top model in the US. That Volvo tested costs $68,290 but you can get lower models since the Base Price is $49,950 over in the US. I guess it's because over in the US the truck market is absolutely huge, with the F150 being the best selling motor for years and also the SUV market is as well, not enough room it seems for all the wagons as you say available across most of the world. There are loads of others such as- below and all have cheaper models and top models. Volkswagen Golf Estate Volvo. V60. A6 Avant. Skoda. Octavia Estate. Ford. Focus Estate. ... BMW 3 Series Touring. ... Toyota Corolla Touring Sports. ... Merc E-Class Estate. Volkswagen Passat Estate Skoda Superb

@@BJJPaulos74 It is pathetic how few wagons are sold in the United States. A huge reason consumers don't buy wagons over here is because there are barely any options compared to the rest of the world.

V90 is like all station wagons an ugly car.

Victor K I bet your the type of guy who thinks the Pontiac Aztec was the most beautiful car ever made.

Dee T if I think a station wagon is ugly it’s kind of obvious I think all of those types are ugly. Your reply should be used on yourself. A station wagon is an ugly version of a saloon. The V90 is an ugly S90. XF sportbrake is an ugly XF.

Victor K I would suggest you go get your eyes checked, and get some class while your at it.

it is best car

Interesting, in Sweden Jaguar is considered as an unreliable car - no one buys it for its good resale value.

these twincharged drive e engines are able to go to 200,000 miles without any problems yo on crack?

Abhishek lmao what? "volvo recently purchased by chinese comapny" ???? chaina bought volvo since 2012 and they are never going to move it to china that is the deal that they made. and its also bad for business because they make way more profit if volvo is in sweden because the quality and everything is better than china. lmao

Vince yeah obviously when they didnt even pick the Volvos big gun the T8!?? They pick jags 380bhp against the 310bhp version of the Volvo?? This made this entire review shitty for me.. lets see the jag up against the 407bhp V90 T8.

Alexander Ambrosio I could be mistaken, but I don't think the V90 T8 is available in North America. We can only get the S90, XC90 and XC60 with the T8 powertrain.

The twincharged T6 have been out on the roads since 2015. That's 4 years ago and I haven't heard any horror stories about it

hahahhahahahahah really? volvo i4s back in the day could run for 15-20 years, 200,000-400,000 miles with basic maintenance. Jags petpwhhh they can go for what 68,000 miles and somthing is already fucking broken

Hey dodo I'm commenting on 2 cars in the review not models of same make from 20 years ago

The jag body kit...

They are both winners in my eyes, but if I were to choose one, then the Volvo would be my choice, looks better, more economical by 20% so cheaper to run too, the interior is superior as well, not to say the Jag is bad, no, it's very classy too, but the Scandinavian design wins me over !!

No, It's a Jaaaaggg !

Yeah cheaper because of Chinese Parts. Jaguar is still conceptualized, built and made in UK....with Magna Steyr and Slovakia plants being operational soon.

James Freedman dude you clearly know nothing about volvo then. sure chaina bought it but everything is purely Swedish, that is why it says made in Sweden, the design, innovations and everything about the car is pure Swedish. chain is more like a big investor to volvo to be able to build and innovate and in returen they want profit that is it. because volvo cars are made in Goteborg Sweden. and the quality is as high as it can get for it's price and the leader is an exclusive volvo's leader that is Swedish too. its the same with other car companies the ownership doesn't mean the production. the ownership is more like an investor to these car companies they invest and they want profit from it that is all. that Chinese company doesn't make volvo cars.

That's super easy to unhook permanently via a plus in the boot of the car.

J High it’s a car who cares about apple car play.

Victor K I'm an Android user so I definitely agree with you regarding the "who cares about Apple CarPlay" comment.

I mean generally. When you drive a car all you need is navigation and a good sound system. All other things are just for bragging purposes...

Victor K I'm sure you're still enjoying your rotary landline phone and the cassette tape player in your vintage 1980's era Chevrolet Chevette. The rest of us non-Luddites who embrace 21st century technologies, appreciate the convenience of smartphone integration with our modern automobiles. How are you even capable of watching RU-vid videos and posting comments from your Nokia flip phone?

J High Grow up kid

possibly for you - for many it is the Volvo

Jaguar drives so much better?! Prove or just repeated BS? Similar way the XC60 is stated by car magazines as more comfy than the BMW X3 and "less sporty" (if a SUV can be sporty at all...) but the real life tests showed just opposite! Moreover, practically majority of people will never drive such cars on a track and then Volvo is just better, providing more comfort, solid drive and that special feeling :)

It is possible, on a track! But then few people cares and for them (us) what matters is predictable behavior in a critical road situation and just comfort +some fun and this "some fun" can be delivered in spades by many modern cars including the V90 .

at least I agree on the Volvo poor reliability records....it is no longer the old good Volvo, robust and reliable . Will will see how durable they will be. Actually the same applies to Jag. See this interesting point of view on lux cars reliability or rather lack thereof: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-r2H8Oqm1eQ4.html

volvo fixed the infotainment screen

You're silly, more people in their right mind will pick a Volvo after test driving both and not just trying to promote their favorite brand. Jaguars are infamously unreliable and the Volvo infotainment issue was fixed with an update. The jaguar interior in real life looks about ten years dated too. Also, go ahead and take a road trip and then admit to yourself that the Volvo seats blow away those awful Jaguar planks. I'm too smart to speak from a simple fanboy perspective; Volvo wins easily.

CTS-V wagon, RS6 Avant, E63 Wagon, all of them did it better. Albeit at a much higher price point, but better wagons.

Anthony Dayspring99 I'd rather smile at myself with 20k in the bank saved by not buying a Jag!

Phablet Fortyfour I’d take the 20k and the Volvo...except the price difference is $2k as tested...not sure where you got 20k from

Dee T probably am. Along with the millions of people that buy premium cars annually. You’re point?

Dee T our money, do what the fuck we want with it I guess. You sound like a jealous pauper.

Anthony Dayspring99 Pauper? you funny son, I live a debt free life, I don't owe nobody shit. How many people in this country can say that? You love the Jag and that's cool, but guess what? Your ass can't afford to buy one, the time you wasting on here talking crap, you need to take that time to figure out how to get your money up to buy that Jag.

The e63s is the best station wagon but it cost REALLY much

yeah, get that and get kicked out of your house because you can't pay for it.

Rumblestrip.NET except its not a competitor as it costs twice as much

Rumblestrip.NET different level so not relevant

Go for an Audi RS6 Avant man.

We just traded a Chinese assembled 2016 Envision 2.0T for a 2018 Regal TourX and no red coats came looking for us.
