Very helpful review Bob, just bought one of these off the back of your comments great job and thank you.

@11cerbera11 4 года назад

As always. Quality review👍.

Thanks Alan!

I have a diesel-electric Hybrid Peugeot 3008 2014 that works well. I think that Bob even reviewed it. It has optional 4wd with a 20bhp electric motor driving the rear wheels and a 2l 180 bhp diesel driving the front. Using both motors and stop/start It returns over 50mpg which i think is not bad for an suv

Volvo know how to do a good interior these days. With the cream leather option, it looks really well.

@BobFlavinVideo 4 года назад

It's very luxury, there's something about a bright interior that I like anyway

@blackcyborg009 4 года назад

Looking forward to seeing this Diesel Mild Hybrid config on the V90 facelift :)

@davethevicar88 4 года назад

DIESEL HYBRID is the way forward

@brendanc5519 4 года назад

I agree diesel hybrid is the way forward, I have a citroen C4 grand Picasso 1.6 hdi , it has a 50 litre tank and it gets nearly 840 km from a tank, the Toyota auris hybrid also has a 50 litre tank and gets around 180 km less.

@tomquimby8669 4 года назад

I wonder what you will be saying in 5 years.

@aaronmills3105 3 года назад

One of the best luxury suvs, love Volvo!!

Great review

@kaymeadley-bull8728 3 года назад

Just taken delivery of a XC90 mild hybrid, all I can say , volvo have made a great car, choose black interior, think should have been a lighter colour, but we can live with it.10 out of 10.

@mhadibarman Год назад

Hi mate, Congrutulation. What is the fuel economy in town? I live in uk. Mpg? Thanks

@menifo4334 4 года назад

A good all-round review. I just wish you'd given more info on how the mild hybrid technology works contributing to a reduction on fuel and fumes. P.S I was waiting for a long time for a review on the B5. Nobody else seems to bother with the update.

@yuhufeng5370 4 года назад

Most manufacturers use the generic 48v/12v solution. So does the B5 engine. Though it’s quite different on B6, the idea is very much the same

@MrCushina 4 года назад

Bob you can change the climate via the voice reconigtion, very easy and quick plus you can sync both sides for the same climate 👍👍

@BobFlavinVideo 4 года назад

Still not as good as a simple knob, when it’s loud in the cabin or people are talking it’s much easier to just click something.

He's so out of breath, it won't recognise him.

@lynnebarkas6906 4 года назад

What I like about mine is when all rear seats are folded down (5) the load space is huge and FLAT.

@coldwavesf 3 года назад

Would love one in the states!

@hedydd2 4 года назад

Use voice to change temperature and turn seat and steering wheel heat on and off. Voice actually works perfectly for these but is fairly hopeless for the phone and navigation, especially bad with Welsh names.

@davemagee123 4 года назад

How much of an improvement from a 2018 D5? Are there any interior design changes? Looking to choose between buying used or financing from new

@BobFlavinVideo 4 года назад

B5 is a far nicer drive than the D5, there's something about the seating position and suspension that makes it a nicer place to be. Go for the B5 if you can

@davidmccarthy6061 4 года назад

Not interested much in the car, but I watched because you're doing the review!

@1975pcupid 4 года назад

mmm nice car bob

@BobFlavinVideo 4 года назад

Yes it is!

@VolvoXC90TV 4 года назад

What's the combined fuel consumption?

@user-ur5zl3ig5h 3 года назад

Which would you buy the XC90 or the discovery? We can't decide.. great review by the way.

@woodlandguy7246 4 месяца назад

Which way did you go. We have the same dilemma but leaning towards the XC90 given the reliability issues which seem to plague the disco...

@hedydd2 4 года назад

£60,000 is about average price for the XC90 B5 in the UK with a tidy, not extreme spec. The sound system is a ridiculous £3000 extra though, which is ridiculous on top of the standard fit unit.

@Bottomburbsburnbums 4 года назад

B&W is £3K This has Harmon Kardon - £500.00ish

4 года назад

guys what mild hybid means? and whats diffrance with plug n play?

@brendanc5519 4 года назад

I have to disagree with you on the 3rd row seats, the citroen C4 grand Picasso has more knee room the boot might be smaller but there is extra storage space under the 3rd row to make up the loss, and the middle row can go back and forth.

@Ilost11 2 года назад

How can one even begin to compare that French piece of junk to this...

@Alberts_Kviesis 3 года назад

04:35 - I will show you final seat for passenger 1.2 m :D

@fmsantoscar 4 года назад

1:50 Strange, I was convinced all 2020 B5 models would have the smaller electronic gear lever (shift by wire) instead of the older bigger mechanical one.

@hedydd2 4 года назад

The transmission remains the IW unit used in the D4 and D5 versions. This isn't a CVT or anything.

@fmsantoscar 4 года назад

Huw Williams incorrect! I have factory ordered a XC90 B5 and the one I test drove had an electronic gear lever. I’m sure Bob can confirm this. Maybe he used an old stock picture there?

@yuhufeng5370 4 года назад

Ur right, except all diesel models remain unchanged. On gas models, electronic gear shifts are default

@tommasocarta7747 4 года назад

Just taken delivery of my B5 Diesel and i have the electronic lever too..

@antwonefernandez7554 4 года назад

Hope they do the same to the XC60 or even XC40 the 90 is just mahoosive.

@yuhufeng5370 4 года назад

Xc60 for sure. Xc40 has its own electrification roadmap

@alexx2892 Год назад

Since when is Volvo producing this B5 diesel engine? I found one from 2017, 2WD, 190 HP, is it correct? 😮

@DreamHawkers 3 года назад

Too bad we can't get these in the US

@ericolivomartinez3674 2 года назад

estos autos con el guía a la derecha solo en algunos países de europa se usan donde todo es al revés

@con_boy 4 года назад

Does it have 7 seats?

@MarkEardley1968 4 года назад

Conrad Bate yes, all XC90s have 7 seats, with the back row of two surprisingly large and comfortable.👍🏻

@stephendoherty8291 4 года назад

No Volvo said they would no longer sell fossil fuel ONLY cars in future. So its hybrid, PHEV or EV

@yuhufeng5370 4 года назад

They didn’t. They said over 50% of their car sell would be ev/phev by 2050. And that they would provide hybrid for every power train. B4 2021 for example, does have non-hybrid diesel models

Bring back 5 cylinder engines. End.

@karlk.6819 3 года назад

man volvo nomenclature is confusing

@lukasandersson2031 Год назад

If you shoguns drive a electric hybrid. than with a petrol engine not, one of the dirty diesels.

@interceptor-ss8kb 4 года назад

Wife had a 2017 XC90 it was a mechanical/electrical nightmare.

@yuhufeng5370 4 года назад

U haven’t seen the B6 2020 Xc90. It’s real hell. U got mild hybrid with electric compressor and a turbo charger. No one wants to repair that

@lukasandersson2031 Год назад

B5 petrol, better. and for climate and fuel economi.

@jamesglass4842 4 года назад

It’s nothing to do with CO2. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.

@raus_mit_Islam 2 года назад

You q’are wasting my time! The first thing to get clear is the turbo lag! Because that is annoying like hell and Volvo has a lot.

@Hasretaydin1999 4 года назад

I prefer my seat TARRACO is very good car and has 7 seater and has got a lot features and Volvo doesn’t have it also the folding table are missing what is the point to make 7 seater car without folding table I’m not gonna buy it!
