The Volvo S90 is a Swedish saloon that promises a luxurious experience different to that of established rivals such as the Jaguar XF, Mercedes E-Class and Audi A6? As is traditional, it offers countless safety features, and class-leading test results, but how does this impact the driving experience? Whilst offering a comfortable ride on long journeys, can it also be sporty? Can it pass the fabled carwow flick test? Find out all my thoughts and more in this in-depth review of the Volvo S90.

I love the redesign Volvo has done. They’ve taken their previous style, and made it sharper and more aggressive without changing too much of the Volvo DNA, except the interior which is a giant improvement.

It's a nice comfortable family car. It's safe and has a great ride. Clearly not designed to be as sporty as a Mercedes or BMW rival. Sounds like Volvo did a great job to me. I never realised they gave so much as standard either.

@kwl189 2 года назад

@@ianhuds2206 BMW and Mercedes Benz cars are so common and basic especially in the UK. People will gloss over them unless they are an AMG or proper M badged car. The S90 is unique in that regard and perfect for someone desiring exclusivity.

@kwl189 Год назад

@SwedenCam yep all true. German cars are highly sophisticated but require so much maintenance and have been over engineered, its beyond a joke. Japanese cars and Volvo are solid cars that can take a beating and keep moving forward. Volvo cars can be expensive though and if they’re mistreated or a bad egg, then be prepared to have to go to specialists rather than your average garage to get them properly sorted, at least in the UK. Can be expensive to put right and repair because support isn’t as common as German cars.

@kwl189 Год назад

@SwedenCam Japanese cars are pretty good. Easy to work on, not over-engineered to an inch of their life like German cars. Obviously I can only comment on cars in the UK and LHD models. All the German cars like BMW, Audi and VW will struggle when it comes to knowledge. See it in the UK here all the time. You know more about the cars then the people selling them! But to be fair this can be said across all of the dealerships we have in the country for all brands. Mechanically speaking experiences vary. Some are good and decent and a lot are rubbish that use third party parts the same that independent garages use.

@iot1452 7 лет назад

I love it. I really do. The new Geely-era Volvos are effing brilliant. The only thing I DON'T love about the XC90, S90 and V90 is the fact that those gigantic bonnets look like they house longitudinally mounted V8s, but in fact only contain a tiny 2.0l turbo four pot. Most of the bonnet is left empty, apparently for a safer crumple zone. I really wish Volvo uses this brand new flexible platform to make a compact crossover or hatchback. Or go bonkers like Tesla and make a AWD electric super saloon with an enormous boot and 'frunk'. "Maybe not quite as easy to use on the move as a swivel system you get in one of the German rivals.." xD Matt, please. Just say it already.

The wagon tail lights look stunning and gorgeous, what a real Volvo should look like........ this Volvo (the video one) looks like they spent so much time on the front but forgot about the back and rushed it. This is an image of the s90. (Tail lights) static.autoblog.nl/images/wp2016/volv-v90-nieuw.jpg Tell me which one looks better, the s90 wagon or sedan (tail lights in particular)? Which one looks more like a real volvo? Be honest!

If you can't afford a BMW 7er, Mercedes S Class or Audi A8, this is a great option, it won't have the ventilated or reclining rear seats but Volvo will eventually come out with a hybrid and Excellence as well to compete better with the German full size executives. So this is currently worth the price...

£30,000 for a car in this segment is crazy. I have driven a Volvo last year and one thing that experience taught me with cars was to to never judge a car by the brand name. I drove the V40 and it was one of the most refined and comfortable cars I have driven.

You do not need to use a touch screen while driving. It's not possible to write or read SMS while driving. AC, navigation, a telephone can be used with voice.

@user-mv6he6gl8m 5 лет назад
