Volvo S90 vs Jaguar XF vs Ford Mondeo Vignale 2017 review | Head2head

- If you want a premium saloon that isn't German, could these be the cars for you - the Volvo S90, Jaguar XF and Ford Mondeo Vignale (yes it's a 'posh' Ford apparently)? I put the cars head to head to see which is the best. Please note: at the beginning of the video when I say the starting price of the Volvo I say it's the D5. It's not! The price is for the entry-level D4 - which is the car I am testing. All prices correct at time of filming.

Remember back in the day when they all used to be 'Ford'?
Reko Sri haha yes the best thing to come from that arrangement was the 5 pot that slotted in to the st focus of the era. Full if character but thirsty as hell.
Next best thing to come from that era was the discovery 3
@@bensmithkent22 Yes, That's right. That 5 cylinder is one of the all-time great Ford engines. The engineers went bananas on that one culminating in the Focus RS 500. One of the most powerful FWD cars ever. Still more powerful than today's Civic Type R
Jaguar still uses ford engines. Volvo was using ford engines until 2014
@@abovethelaw4417 And Ford using PSA engines (diesels), prior to 2018
Funny, putting a Ford Fusion against an S90.
+Van Hammer i know - but Ford is pricing it ball park to those two premium cars. So it's fair game!
Ok. I understand now.
Van Hammer fair enough but everyone knows ford is dogshite
You are shit
Ali RS what cause you can’t afFORD it?!
Now that I've seen a couple of S90s on the street I have to say it's got great presence. It feels long and low, the lines are elegant. A prettier car than the E class or 5 series, I think. Perhaps that's partly that it still looks new and fresh - yet with nothing in the body design that seems gimicky.
Hey man I’m a taxi driver
When you desire a jaguar, but realise the Volvo is much nicer all around. I drove an S60 through Sweden a month ago, the automatic transmission was a breeze to operate and everything felt so smooth and nice.
i think the Ford has turned up to the wrong video 📹 by mistake,
Oh comeon. Grow up😂
+DilBashir Here: 0:43... awkward.
+President Kimi What exactly are you trying to prove here? Just because a tailgate is not automated demonstrates that the car is not fit for the comparison?
DilBashir Official If they bothered to make a "luxury model" and if they bothered to do something so the boot opens on its own , could they seriously not make it open completely? How hard could that be...
+President Kimi It's not much of a big deal through is it? Other ford models have automated tailgate too I don't know why they wouldn't apply the feature to this car and it does seem a tad silly however how much of a big deal is it? ... Not very big I'm telling you
Im broke and watching this wtf
Jamie Cha Enjoying some nice content is free though! ;)
We lived the dream of the Mondeo Vignale so you don't have to…
lol
Same here, watched a Hyundai sonata review but ended up here.. Lol
Me too can only afford Focus.
S90 is just amazing in and out, I saw one and the back isn't really that bad they were just trying to do something different.
Jamoi I think the back looks amazing
Tre Had me too
Jamoi The back has really grown on me!,
Jamoi I am slightly mixed about the back, I think they tried to copy the XC90 for the back and in that perspective I think that the XC90 looks better from the back than this does.
why not mondeo vs passat vs insignia ?
What is the Ford doing here, it is not premium
Mirko ko The vignale is supposed to be
To inform people like you about the Vignale trim.. Wow
It is not even a E-segment car like the other two. Some will say that the price are matching, but the Mondeo base price is a fully loaded car. The other two are base model prices, so probably if you want to have the same equipment the Volvo and Jaguar are much more expensive then the Ford.
And what makes a car premium? Why is a Jaguar XE premium and a Ford Mondeo Vignale not?
+Pi VN Exactly. These people don't understand that.
Define premium
Should have been S90 vs E Class vs New 5 Series
+Arya Pradhana D can't get the 5er in the UK just yet. But when I can... Hope you enjoyed the free content none the less... Love from Mat.
carwow lol well said.
carwow in turn atleast you are benifting from someone watching free content..
Woosh... that's the sound of Mat's comment at 0:03 going right over your head
So excited!
The Jaguar XF and XE handle better than any equivalent German car today. As a 4 series owner, the XF is far more agile than the 3/4/5 series. The steering is awesome and taut. The suspension is sporty yet comfortable-- something the Germans are struggling to do. These two are class leading in this area. Jaguar just need to improve the interior and reduce the NVH in the cabin, and it becomes a no brainer in these segments.
What 4 series u own
Agree the handling on my boggo xe grumbly 2.0 portfolio d is pretty near perfect for a big barge. Lags behind the germans for quality and refinement though. Considering swapping to a front wheel drive a4 tfsi cos of the horrific clattery diesel in the jag and substandard pull away smoothness.
Now got a b9 a4 but a 40tdi. Noise levels are planes apart. Audi is on big 19s too on 35 profile rubber. Xe handled better or certainly felt better in most bends, whether that translates into better grip levels i am not so sure as the audi stays flat just is no fun.
Blackjack EXO Probably a 418i

S90 all the way!
Thibault Titeca i see you are a bmw fanboy, i am happy to see that you appreciate a volvo :) because i'm a volvo fanboy, but i love some bmw like 6 series or 7 series, also m4 !!!
No five, six or eight cylinder engines means the S90 is not really premium. A shame because otherwise it really is.
Otto Sixpack to call a car premium, we don't watch only at engines!! is premium for technologies, for the fantastic quality interior, so luxurious, for safety (best in class) and for design ! yes, volvo should have a 6 or 8cyl engine, but this 2.0 are mot bad, especially the t6 with 320 hp and the t8 with 407 hp!
The engine is part of the package of what makes a premium car. And without nice engines the package is not complete. At least for me. Power is plenty in 4 cylinders these days but not quality in sound and vibration.
A C-class with V6 feels more premium than a E-class 4 cylinder is what I have experienced.
I agree with you a hundred percent. The only thing i do not like about the V/S/XC90 models is that they only have four cylinder engines. The smooth way 6 or 8 cylinder engines deliver power makes cars feel so much more premium.
The jag seems to have a colour matching issue between the front grille area and the metallic bonnet. the difference in colour is massive
Fair review. It is crazy what revival volvo did with 90 series.
Love the reviews matt nicely refreshing
i just have to say how much i love those Swedish seats!!! they're so thin and have slender profile but don't compromise in comfort. they look sporty, and a bit futuristic, like one of those hardcore gamers chairs. it's just unlike anything in the competition. and just look at the flag motif along the edge. it's so striking. it definitely gets my vote of confidence! 👌
The new XF is awesome. Great performance and looks. Will you be reviewing the new XJ? It's an astonishing car and very expensive.
I am very happy with my Vignale, mine has the large hatchback which is huge
Heart says Jaguar
Brain says Volvo
Wallet says Regular Mondeo
I rented a volvo S90 D4 inscription friday to monday. Omg... ever since that I really only dream of having one myself. I arrived at a party that friday and lots of great mercs and bmw were parked there... but... the s90 stole the show. Some had brand new red sporty mercs... but they actually was saying "driving a merc is a show-off... driving a Volvo S90 is a statement. I felt like I was the smart guy with brains... omg! I so wanna buy a new Volvo S90
Next time you get a Volvo, may I suggest trying to get an R-design, as although it is only trim level, it is a totally different car, it's set up completely different than to say the momentum. This is also true for the olds models, r-design vs se lux for example.
Years ago I drove the XF and I loved it, what a progress this was for Jaguar.
cee Jay did it spend most of its time in the shop lol just a question?
guys you did s vs 7 series vs a8
can you do now xj vs quattroporte vs lexus ls
please 😂
It would be interesting to see what the 3 cars on the road price would be once you have totted up all the options to spec them to the same level of the Ford. I drive an XF and know how expensive the upgraded infotainment is, along with parking assistance etc, all are standard on the Mondeo. Having sat in the new S90 inscription I would definitely take one over my XF but if I wasn't such a brand snob I would be foolish to over look the Ford. That Ford will be an excellent second hand buy in 3 years time and will be half the price of the other two cars. Yes my car is rear wheel drive but it hardly invites you to get the back end out and attack country lanes. The volvo is the best set up for the type of buyer these cars are aimed at as comfort and refinement are priority for the sort of person who will be considering these. Although I can guarantee that anyone looking to buy a large luxury saloon won't even consider the Mondeo. A shame as I have no doubt that its a well equipped and capable car, but foolish of Ford to price it so close to these two without the image. They should have done what Citroën have done with the DS and lose the Ford branding completely and at least made it look different from the Mondeo with a redesigned front end and rear. Its a nice enough shape to get away with just cosmetic changes to make it look a different car to the normal Mondeo without creating a whole new platform.
3:51 he named his iphone "stupidly large phone" xd.
Lol
Would still buy the Mondeo because there’s more to me than the badge I drive. The Mondeo does everything more than well enough and doesn’t speak for me.
Could you do a review of the Volvo's big brother the XC-90, it's become kind of dream family car and I'd like to get to know it better. Thanks.
The S90 Excellence, however, is a la S-Class.
I rlly want a review of the excellence trim on the XC90
The R-Design Volvo S90 will be out soon, hopefully you will do a review on that? The S90 T8 has 400HP so will we ALOT faster than the ones before it. Thanks.
fair review Matt.
all 3 cars a good enough but the s90 maybe not as sportier to drive but its just class and modern looking.
I thought that the V90 is a rival for XJ, S-Class and BMW 7 series... But has a incredible price
Where.was.this film.and when? It seems like its summer.
What a refreshing and honest review - and you can never go wrong with a bit of Carry On Carwow innuendo😀 I don't suppose Mat can ever win - he picks the Volvo but the screamers about British bias are silent. Never mind, we still get to be informed for the umpteenth time that Jaguar is owned by TATA...because it really matters... and obviously Mat has no idea of the fact.
Its quite rare that there isn't a german car in review
Why didn't you show the MPG for the Ford?
i like your car reviews
Its a disgrace for volvo to be compared with a jaguar and a FORD
Julian J agree !!
here's a like for a troll :)
Clearly you lack knowledge about cars then!
DilBashir Official why ? you would say that ford is a premium brand??
Jaguar and Volvo belong there, that Ford though :/
the jaguar looks like its from 2005
Saitama 2018 so true
I agree
you and your 120 likers are blind
Actually in 2005 the S-Type was on the market!! Which is awful if compared to the XF
The volvo looks like 1996
Matt 6 series gran coupe vs A7 vs CLS
please
Matt will you review the passat b8
Yes - filmed it this week. Keep an eye out
I love my 2018 Mondeo Titanium 2 litre 240 b.h.p. I also love my 5 litre Jaguar XK. I paid £18000 for the Mondeo in 2018 when it was a few months old with just over 3000 miles on the ‘clock’. It has full leather seats, tyre pressure sensors, lane sensor, start stop, rear camera, heated seats, electric adjustable seats, LED lights, electric heated mirrors, electric heated windscreen, automatic gearbox/paddle shift, keyless entry, radar cruise control so limits how close you can get to the car in front, automatic high beam dip etc. I would love to know how much the Jag and Volvo would cost with the same specifications not to mention servicing and replacement parts.
You talk about quality but I notice in every saloon car from a Jaguar XF to a BMW 3 series they don't carpet the upper side of the boot, just leave it bare metal whereas the Mondeo is not typically a saloon, being mostly 5dr or estate but in the 4dr variant they actually bother to carpet it.
Ford Mondeo is a great car..I want it...great comparative
Didn’t realise the Mondeo came in saloon form now !
3:53 - 'Stupidly Large Phone' Very subtle Mat!
Why not try rolling starts to negate the 4wd advantage so we can see the real difference on engine power?
is the S90 better than the E class and the new 5 series?
"It's not necessarily the size that matters, it's what you do with it that counts". Trying to tell us something Matt? ;)
Make a review of the e63 amg please 😱
Carwow, can you please do a video on cars for new drivers?
that would be really great i really wish he does that
Last time I checked, people were comparing the Vignale to the A4, 3 Series and XE (allthough they don't belong to the same class). Stepping it up a class might be a bit hard for such a car. On the other hand, the Vignale comes with leather-wrapped seats (optional on the XF and the S90), sat-nav (also optional for the others), and even massage seats. Of course, if you're a badge snob, then go and buy an XF, but it'll have halogen headlights and 16 inch alloy wheels for the same price as the Vignale. The Ford is the most reliable out of the three (Volvo isn't what it used to be), and, despite featuring an inferior badge, it has the best balance between cost and features.
Vlad Mihai Geana finally someone who agrees with me after scrolling this far down in the comments your the first one who actually uses their brain 🧠😂
Totally agree with you
Interesting comparison, but here in the US the Fusion, even the top sport version, which I think is closes to the one in this video, would not be considered a direct competitor for the other two.
Top trim on the US Fusion was the Platinum. Leather dash and everything.
@@OhPhuckYou I think the Platinum was the most luxurious but the Sport might have cost a little more for the hardware - awd, unique turbo engine and adaptive shocks.
Interesting review especially cause all 3 used to be owned by Ford
3:53. Lol why does it say "Stupidly large phone". I am pretty sure that was customized by Matt or someone else, but in the end it's a bit funny.
To all the people hating on the ford.. that's the only brand which has a good market share in europe amongst the other american brands.
The Jaguar prices start where Ford prices end. Seems kind of unfair comparison there then.
What's next? Two luxury cars vs a honda accord?
is Ford not build in Germany?
I am a Jag fan, but the Volvo is a nobrainer here. I mean, cmon, it destroys every car in it's class in every way.
Price ✔
Looks ✔
Performance ✔
Build quality ✔
I mean it's a fucking dream came true
Where's the giulia?
the volvo is so handsome, the new XF become rather outdated.
Henry Rahardja tbh the last XF did until it's facelift. I certainly would wait for the facelift of this XF -.-
The seats in the Ford are gorge
He talks about the small piece of paper plastic in the Ford Fusion and Jaguar, but not that huge nasty dash on the Volvo wtf
Soon you 'll can put a the DS brand with the new DS7 suv
Speaking of DS - that S90 rear looks like it was grabbed straight from a first generation Citroën C5.
yes right , i prefer the front original than the rear that is like a basic brand .It 's like the designer has worked for the front and was too late for the rear before to go to holidays.
Can (Volvo on call) be installed on the models who don’t have it?
I don’t think so, but you can subscribe to on call on a new car that supports it. Are you talking about the roadside assistance/ app control or the safety system (city safety)?
I drive the lower tier American version of that Ford (Fusion) and it does well for me, but I'm poor. If money were no object though, it would be Volvo all the way. Those seats look great, and the touchscreen looks fabulous.
What phone do you use to call it stupidly large?
Next review: Mercedes a45 mag, Audi rs3, bmw, m1 and... Ford Focus?
I know they’re simalar price, but the vignale was a bit out of place. It’s more a bmw 3 series rival than a 5 series.
Can you do an Infiniti q70
It’s funny how similar the jag and Volvo look from their sides
White interior with wooden dashboard is great on S90
Why no MPG for the Ford?
I can't see any point in choosing the Vignale over, say, the Titanium X
I can't get over how uneven the panel gaps on the Jaguar look from different angles, it just looks cheap, especially the gap behind the rear doors. Also the interior design reminds me of a Toyota Corolla, and the materials look really cheap. The original XF looked so much better inside.
S90 , a very easy choice !
The s90 dosent get automatic tailgate as standard!
I did not expect Ford will be so expensive or Volvo will be so cheap.
The jaguar is nice but it looks the same as the old one, Mondeo is lovely but the S90 is so much nicer, looks amazing and the quality is superb.
"You want a diesel engine and automatic gearbox"
No I most certainly don't.
Love the seats of volvo...it is just super comfy
The Volvo S90 Its not a D5 its a D4 says that on the badge
In my opinion those small plastic rims make the XF look a bit cheap from the side
Mark Molenaar Yeah I agree with you. The rear plastic bits make it look really cheap. I think theres another model that removes the plastic.
Where’s the Mazda 6?
3:52 Look at the name of the phone :D
Where is the Mercedes E series? 🤔 Presenting the mondeo as Premium? Really!?
Dont like the back end of the Jag, prefer the older one tbh
why dont you review Japanese sedans? Such as the honda accord, mazda 6 etc
Not fair for the Mondeo, should of had base model like the other cars on test.
Shouldn't you be playing with your hyperloop?
carwow even a model s is a better replacement for the mondeo in this....... comparison
How about a comparison of the New BMW 5 Series vs Mercedes E-Class vs Jaguar XF
Jamie Pickles jag would look dated and out its depth on inteior quality alone and substandard engine. Its best taking on the more niche premium challengers as its never going to sell in the numbers of the e or 5 or even the a6.
jag vs e class? 100% e class
Crazy that up until recently these were all Ford brands.
Read the screen at 3:22
Comparing the S90 to those cars is a disgrace to volvo
LHEK ツ jaguar no, is a luxury brand, but ford yes!!!
The jaguar is also a serious joke compared to the S90
LHEK ツ Volvo is literally the definition of an average salary car.
BOOMDEAD Games oh really? maybe a v50 or a c30. but i don't think that the new 90s, old s80, old xc90, s60, xc60, xc70, old 780, 960, 850, 760 are average salary car. it's always has been a premium brand, specialized in safety and resistance, now with new cars, also in luxury!
If you think the S90 or XC90 are avereage salary cars, you definetly have a problem, sir.
ill take the Jag by a slight edge over the Volvo, at the end of the day its the badge that counts plus its rear-wheel drive
Ford Mondeo Vignale is the modern version of a Mercury Topaz LS/Ford Tempo LX. Now imagine a 1987 Topaz LS going up against a W-124 Mercedes 250 D, Audi 5000 and Volvo 740GLE 😂
Throwing the Mondeo in there is like comparing a VW Passat to an E- Class and Audi A6.. also a very good car but really not quite up there....

Roger, Matt.
I guess I'm not getting it since 3some in the back is my top criteria
Matt, pleade do Toyota C-HR
Do mercedes cls vs bmw 6 series gran coupe vs a7
