    Your point about the auto start/stop is valid, but, there's a bit of an explanation about the early off you're seeing. In Eco mode, the car will turn off the engine at around 5 kph or 3 mph. In comfort mode, it won't turn off the engine until you come to a full stop. If I'm coming to an intersection where I know I'll need to go almost immediately, I'll move the gear selector to manual mode until I start accelerating, as it won't turn off in manual mode.

      We'll have to test this out next week! We've got the 2019 Volvo XC40 R-Design. We did keep the car in Eco mode most of the time, but not always, but we'll do some additional testing with the XC40 (assuming it has the same setup).

      @@PRNTestDrive The r-design I test drove this weekend had a button behind the start engine that said (A) next to the electronic park. The dealer told me to push it and when I did the auto start/stop stayed off permanently between modes, the car being on and off and so on. I don't know if that's maybe missing from the Momentum, that you can click it, but I see the button in the video :-) Edit: The (A) definitely turns off start stop. The feature of clicking it was introduced in the 2018 S60 and is now start in all 2019 XC90's. Click it and start stop is off until you click it back on.

      ​@@jeversol Edit: You are definitely right. The (A) is only for the auto hold. It does not turn off start stop. Upon further research and after talking to the dealer, he apologized for the misinformation. He has told me that the start stop function will be allowed to be put permanently off via a software update that will be pushed by Volvo that will memorize your auto start stop setting in Sensus. Thanks for clarifying.

    The wood in this specific model or trim looks very shinning compared the others I see that are more premium look with matte finish. Not sure if it's just this brown colour that they choose to offer a glossy finish or if it's for this trim that they use a less premium wood.

      After having the chance to drive two of the Volvo Inscription models with open pore wood, we feel the same way. Both of the other Volvos we had were using a very specific type of wood, whereas this one is likely more common.

    HI thanks for a great review! My husband is 6'4 and I am 5'1-so making sure the car I select can fit him. It would be my primary car but of course he uses it from time to time to haul things. Back seat head clearance I think is going to be an issue. I have a Chevy Traverse now but am looking to upgrade-seat and head restraint comfort being my top research. My biggest issue I have is the head restraint/seat comfort. With my Traverse, I have to put a back pillow so that it pulls my body and head away from the head restraint otherwise by design of the seat and head restraint as many other vehicles, I would drive in a concave configuration. I think it has everything to do with the fact that when you are short, where my head hits the head restraint just doesn't line up well. For long distance driving-without the pillow, I would be in severe pain. The lumbar on my Chevy seems a bit sad-not really a lumbar support I think it should be.Im short and have neck issues which with the US (as I am sure Canada has) that the new head restraint designs have caused issues with some drivers and also short people. SUVs I think are not built with short people in mind. I wish reviews would also include a slightly more in depth comfort review (head restraints and their adjustments, as well as the some of the seat and lumbar features). Maybe throw a short person in there too for a short person perspective..HAHHAHA

    • @PRNTestDrive
      @PRNTestDrive  5 лет назад

      There isn't much comfort when it comes to these head rests in today's cars unfortunately. Most of them are just there to prevent your neck from snapping backwards in the event of an accident, and nothing more.

    Nile, I am rewatching this review. I have exactly the same feeling about the BMW engine start/stop. As you approaching the stop sign, it decided to cut off the engine, then if needs to start again right away because you clear the stop sign and started to accelerate. Extremely annoying in residential streets with stop sign at every intersection....

    • @PRNTestDrive
      @PRNTestDrive  4 года назад +1

      It's the worst feeling on the road, I know some other vehicles I've driven recently do it, normally in eco mode though. I'm picking up a 2020 XC90 T8 this week but the PHEV system thankfully eliminates this problem.

    Most people consider the Audi Q7 3.0T to be the T6 XC90's main competitor as opposed to the Mercedes GLE or BMW X5, which don't have a 3rd row as standard. The T5 XC90's are even less equipped than this T6 Momentum (FWD only, no 3rd row option, no standard digital drivers display, etc.). A well equipped T6 XC90 in either the R-Design or Inscription trims, offers so much more standard safety and technology features than a comparably equipped Q7. Audi, like most European luxury carmakers, continues to financially sodomize buyers with overpriced option packages. Audi forces you to buy the top trim Q7 Prestige just to have the still non-standard option of adaptive air suspension, full drivers assistance packages, and top tier surround sound audio system. My 2017 T6 R-Design had all of those options included for just under $70K (USD).

      Also you dont get the better performance, fuel economy and better reliability if you choose the vw...
      It is a thief.
      Same story for my father new car, the same size wagon, cost 5500€ more if was a vw model but you still miss indipendent rear suspension, new model and 7 year warranty.
      I will never buy a german car, they rip you off both with brand new and usualy also with an used model when maintance or repairs are needed... Overengineering cause costumers become beta tester...

    Every chance Volvo designed the auto start/stop with Europe in mind, which doesn't have four way stop signs (we manage to use these magical things called roundabouts). The fact that you can turn it off means it's irrelevant anyway. Still, it's interesting to watch car reviews from the other side of the Atlantic as the priorities are usually quite different to European drivers - I enjoy yours as you've obviously put a lot of time and thought into them. Got a S90 T8 coming in February, I hope it's as good as it seems to be.

    • @PRNTestDrive
      @PRNTestDrive  6 лет назад +3

      I guarantee the S90 T8 will be excellent for you! We absolutely loved the one we had a few weeks back. But it's certainly true, the market where these cars are designed differs significantly from our use cases here in Canada. Volkswagen seems to have done a good job with their Stop/Start, we just dropped off the 2019 Jetta and it's system was excellent.

      I'll add the Equinox to the list! We just received GM's press fleet and that was one of the cars they have, so we'll get that one booked. Toyota/Lexus is still ignoring our requests, and I'm not really sure what to do about it at this point. It's frustrating that out of the 3 different people at Toyota Canada we've emailed/called, no one will even give me the courtesy of a reply back. We'd love to get the Cadenza, Kia Canada doesn't have one on the fleet unfortunately but we'll see if we can find a local dealer in the Spring.
      And we'll definitely see what we can do about the luxury/premium cars! We're going to reach out to Audi, Mercedes-Benz, and Jaguar Land Rover in the new year to see if we can get on their fleets. I also really want to get more 'classic' cars featured, even if that includes something like a 2014 Equus. We filmed a classic episode last week, hoping it'll help to reinvigorate the interest from owners to let us feature their cars!

      Hi Nile, it is disappointing that Toyota Canada would not even reply to you. The landscape of automotive journalism has completely changed from 10 or 15 years ago. Legitimate and respectable car reviewers no longer work exclusively at newspapers, magazines, and TV studios. (In fact, one might say that the most influential ones do not.) Hopefully, in due time, Toyota Canada will take note of your quality content, and welcome your requests like other manufacturers.

    Nobody is buying one of these cars “in case people come in from out of town”. They are for large families. As such, the main requirements for the third row is that the seats are easy to get up and down, durable, comfortable and that there is no useless equipment back there that a 6 year old would easily break. Headroom for 6ft people is of tertiary importance. I feel the review was critical because the space met these criteria. It would be more useful to kick the rear seats for 20 mins to see if they scuff.

      If you're going to say that nobody is buying them I hope you'd have some sales data to back that up. Most of the XC90s I see on the road have one occupant in it, and a vehicle like this would be high on my list despite having a family of 3.
