I just leased this car and believe me, it's worth it. It’s an amazing car !
What about it's acceleration?
allen shaji it’s good
I saw in comment saying "how much is volvo paying people to say nothing bad about them"
Honestly, the cars are just that good. I ended up with one too
@@DivaniKingston thing is that i have that car and i am a bit disappointed. devil in details.... i hate that this car uses battery a lot in IDLE mode, so if you leave your car for a week, you could find it with empty battery. other things are small details, but those details creates some disappointment. Like: HUD is cheap display, with standard polarization. so if you have polarized driving glasses - you will se NOTHING (because of double polarization all hud images will disappear). There is no glasses holder. No place where to keep phone. Car is big and not very stable on bumpy road. Not so good noise insulation. Have some design problems like wheel buttons stops working. Bar side mirrors design - water stays between door and mirror base and later gets out by creating some not nice lines on doors. also moldings on sides collecting dirt, and after washing later water with dirt gets out and car door bottom part looks not so nice.. some other nasty things with start/stop... you can disable it only for a trip. or maybe through driver profile. but it is annoying.
@@gytiskondratas467 you're saying a lot of stuff that doesn't really make sense. No HUD will work with polarized lenses because they all work on reflection. So reflections will be canceled out with polarized glasses... That is a nonsense complaint.
I don't know what you're doing with the car for it to burn battery after you've parked it. Check your conditioner settings. you may have set it up to turn the HVAC on at a certain time of day and it does that every day for 20 minutes. Sounds like a lot of user error here.
Glasses pockets? There's literally a drawer to the left (or right if you're right hand drive) of the steering wheel for glasses. I'm unsure what you're talking about.
Unstable on rough roads is subjective. Volvo makes a safe car... Paramount safety is making sure you don't lose control in the first place. This car feels every bit BMW my actual BMW (E46) felt handling wise. Sure footed and agile with surprising turning radii. I don't know what car you bought but it's not this one.
The foam engine cover is also for pedestrian safety. When they hit the pedestrian, the foam reduces damage compared to a plastic cover.
Mom is going to buy it after the lockdown, it is a beautiful car. We tested the infotainment at an autoshow, it actually worked fine. not much lag at all. Much better infotainment than her 2013 Toyota highlander haha.
Really appreciate the video. Don't know the reason for the dislikes. Video is exclusively on the car, you tackled several of the features and drove the car. Don't know what more people want. Nice review and love this SUV!
The interior looks so nice. Great video.
My dream SUV.
did you buy it?
Same.
My dream just came true.
the audio is exellent. Its amazing how the spatial recreation lets you know how big is the car. It sounds really hevy
It does have 3D buildings it’s actually is one of the best navigation systems on the market except for the Google earth. Why don’t you try reading the owners manual before you jump in the vehicle and you try to swing it.
Interesting that your relatively negative overview varies greatly from most others. By the way, the “autopilot” system is not meant to be hands off but rather an aid.
Regarding the "sound shaping" issue that you mentioned, the audio system must have been set to the "Gothenburg Concert Hall" sound experience, something a few Volvo owners have expressed their concerns about. Problem is apparently solved by going into "Studio" or "Individual Stage" mode.
MY DREAM CAR :)
Re the maps ‘lack of detail/features’. If you connect your phone to the car, you can use Google/Apple maps, etc. My guess is the slowness of the interface was your connection speed.
The wheel spin you got? The system has to detect wheel ‘slip’ before it starts to send power to the rear wheels (like many systems). So you will always get a small amount of slip first.
Wit till you get the new generation of European cars with 1ltr 3 cylinder engines (with Supercharger and Turbocharger) - now being fitted to many cars that would have previously had 1.6-2.0ltr engines.
I’m from Sweden and Volvo to 🇸🇪
My dream SUV
XC90 is my dream car
Dude please narrate for all your videos. These are your best videos.
Forgive me if it was asked before but what did you use to film this? The POV is something that those who are doing what you did should be able to do. Your video was solid rock on. Keep doing what you do.
This guy needs to realize that no one buys this car to race it around the track...you're doing a review, try to be relevant to your audience.
Yes, I agree. One aspect of a useful review is to be objective, not subjective. His manner of review is better suited as a food/restaurant critic.
Think this guy did a great, and honest job . Well done 👍
Not for the sake of being litigious, but honesty is not required when giving one's opinion. Further, how do you know he is being honest, he is offering his opinion, not fact. When speaking of the radar smart cruise control he prattles on about how we would "feel" about the feature. How the hell does he know what everyone would feel about anything? Is that honesty? No, that's opinion. Truth hurts and so does reading comments posted by a person who doesn't have a clear understanding of the difference between fact and opinion. After telling me how I would feel about the car at 42:18 he admits it's just his OPINION. I'll give you an example to help you learn. You think this guy did a great job reviewing the Volvo XC 90. (that is your opinion). Volvo engineers invented the seat belts for cars in 1959. (THAT is a fact).
You also don’t need to hold the trunk button to open.
Nice. I'd love to know your thoughts on a CX-9 Signature
slow entertainment system and "blocky" or laggy rev counter/speedo is absolutely unacceptable on a car that price. Its unacceptable on any car really.
Totally agree. It's so silly that in a moving object you have to wait for a display to give you output, even at the end of 2017 there were 120+ hz LCD panels available to choose from. It's really a sad show that the car industry cannot be bothered to partner up with manufacturers like Samsung or LG or HTC which can create almost bezel-less infotainment displays and dashboard panels for them, which can be later mounted in the vehicle, with a modest at least Snapdragon 821 behind it, to offer butter smooth animations. Really a shame.
Not acceptable in a Kia let alone a Volvo.
You have been driving this car but I am not sure why you do not have very good knowledge regarding all the systems of XC90 that is why you are getting upset. You will be good once you will know everything. It is a great car ever specially XC90 2016 and 2018. Take it is easy. Thank you!!
When you have it in Dynamic the Start/Stop feature is disabled. Try to learn about the car before you review it.
Yes it is but Dynamic also has to be actively chosen by the driver at every manual engine start. And the roller is not the easiest thing to use, because it needs a press to select, two turn clicks to choose Dynamic and then another press to select, plus the same the other way if the Comfort mode is subsequently chosen.
Huw Williams Yes but when you press the roller you can also touch the program you want
Bill
Just as inconvenient a two stage switching process, only with the switches two feet apart for goodness’ sake.
Huw Williams I don't know if you own this car and I'm telling you because I own one, it is not as inconvenient as you think.
Bill Gountanis
Yes I do own one and this plus the inconvenience of toggling the stop-start when it could easily be made to be voice activated are my only control issues, or areas I believe need improvement. Body wise there are also two and they are the wide sills [an area improved already on XC60] and better coverage by front mud flaps on the front with my 20" wheels. Mine throws vast quantities of mud up the side of the car in muddy conditions. Far more than any comparable car I own or have owned.
Brilliant car otherwise. I drove 250 miles in it [three of us] yesterday.
Hey, my friend, I like your videos, but how do you get access to all those vehicles? And what do you have, greetings from Mexico :D
I just need that chime so bad
I would suspect that the "slow load" you're experiencing could be caused by something as small as keeping the key in the car most of the time and not letting the computers become synched. Also, 85% of the functions in these cars are voice controlled, not "knob controlled". Please do your research.

You said first impressions , but making remarks asf if you’ve driven it before
I've used the infotainment system on this car...i didn't have any boot issues...shit start up and iphone, computer, ford mustang...any of them and see. It was much quicker than my 2017 mustang
What happened to the seatbelt alarm?
Any chance of a Volvo S60 Polestar review ?
how much i have to pay for this beauty?
Although the indicator sound is very annoying
Which rides softer in comfort jeep overland or volvo xc90 ?
Holy crap it's talking!
Bentley please
do the 2018 Camaro or corvette or ats
If your arms aren't strong enough to shift from Park to Drive at the 08:35 videomark, I suggest getting back in the gym and really crushing it on "biceps" and "triceps" days. ("This takes a surprising amount of effort to move the shifter"....smh).
How did the fact that he is comparing it to other shifters fly over your head?
Avion Smith
I've never had any difficulty shifting my XC90 out of Park whatsoever. Then again, my "guns" are pretty jacked.......lol.
I drive a whole lot of different automatic transmission cars and have zero difficulty with this aspect of the XC90's shifter. Its slightly more firm with a shorter throw than some, but absolutely not unduly or unusually stiff. It just feels well built.
My dream Volvo XC90 CAR BAST FAMILY CAR
Super
Slapping the engine cover, it’s not a horse!
Now is that slow boot-up because of location? You look like you're far from urban settings.
You just totally managed to put me off buying this car.
How long until you figured out all you have to do is lift the hood? lmao
3:35
Better than Ford SUV.but since the maintenance is high and it loses its resale value, i rather buy 2018 Land Cruiser
Please get some stationary cameras...your head camera with all of your movement about made me ill watching this video.
city man? please
крутая тачка. NICE car .😎
Man the engine couldve been a V6 at least for the XC90.
Right! If it had a V6 it would have been perfect.
It has over 300hp and you're complaining? lol
FBA2920 Yeah it gives good power but a 4cyl in a big 3-row SUV like that seems kinda off. I know it has a supercharger and a turbocharger but it gives me and a lot others the impression that the engine is being stressed a lot to produce that output. I still stand to my opinion that it should have had a V6 in it just like the previous gen XC90. The XC60 seems okay with the 4cyl.
Bring back Yamaha V8
Dont need it its super fast
I’ve got this new 2018 AWD SUV and I love it. I don’t agree with what this idiot is saying about this car. I love my new SUV and before you buy your next luxury SUV test drive one of these you won’t regret it!
Laura, thank you!
You don't seem to like the Volvo much.
Volvo is trash now , 1990-2000 was the best cars built ever, guaranteed
really ? Here in Scandinavia the new XC60 volvo got 6 stars approving. And yes, scandinavian don t buy crap cars.
Stephanie Juric I don't like your response the Volvo is amazing
Domi Van Der Velden they are good its nothing more to say
cool car 2018 car is it
Perfection
Non linear power train it's certainly a deal breaker in car like this.
Turbo lag is one thing but power surges and lows it's more remicent of a vehicle with bad engine timing
All this car needs is a good engine remap and that will solve the lag issues.
this dose not make any sense because the title says that this was a 2018 car so was it made in 2018? cause if it is then this was published on 2017 how???
Many cars are released for sale in the year preceding the model year. It's common.
The only thing with this car is the engine. The engine is loud
5 cylinder is not going to happen. An all-electric xc90 is due out in 2020. Volvo is looking forward, not behind them. The electric will be very close to silent and fast. However, I don't know, the car needs to have less road noise, overall. As far as going around corners, I think that's nonsense. It's a very large SUV and if BMW and Audi want to go around corners fast, well, good for them. Not necessary.

exterior - the best, interior - so so (metarials, colors are great), engine - deal breaker. And the infotainment speed is a disaster, you showed this, mostly reviewers do not - another big deal breaker.
The reviewer had no clue how to use the infotainment system and how to use the alternatives provided for use while driving. For instance there is voice control and there is a command/trip button that raises a sub screen on the right of the instrument panel that offers easy access to trip, phone, sources and channels.
Nice soccer mom car
What do bitchy soccer moms drive?
@Charlie M. lol ok.
ما شاء الله لا قوة إلا بالله
ارسلي واحدة مثلها مصفحة ب 7 مقاعد مريحة و فخمة و ارسلو الفاتورة إلى الشيخ محمد بن زايد ؟
Lotfi Triaa بكرا بالليل ان شاء الله عههههههه
Lol
Your not a very focused reviewer also you are doing this review with little to no patients and you are talking the car down every chance you get it almost seems like you have to look for a con.
Único brasileiro assistindo esse vídeo ?
Talk to much
Lol
