volvo made some good luxury trims for some of their models throughout the 2000s, but during the 80s and 90s volvo was associated with utilitarian safe and sensible cars. these days they're targeting the rich middle aged wife demographic, which is something most brands are doing with their 'luxury suv' offerings as well. manufacturers figured out that it's relatively easy to ramp up the profit margins in this target group without getting too much objection.

First car on this channel except for the tesla with an infotainment system that isn't trashy and laggy Edit: my comment is a bit sensational, yes, this is RUclips, but I just have the feeling that most cars in general have a 486 inside them to power these systems.
Teslas have some of the most laggy nav systems known to mankind, what do you mean ? Did you see the tachometer at 11:02 ? that's the definition on laggy.
I just said they weren't trashy, they are still suboptimal. Honestly it is so confusing to me why auto makers can't put a half decent GPU and CPU or an APU in these cars to handle these systems.
Are you in the US? Here, we don’t look at Volvo as elite. I mean don’t get me wrong it’s no Ford or Honda, but it is nothing like how we view Mercedes or BMW.
I don't know why you're underestimating european cars like "in a Volvooo...!?" Btw, Volvo is one of the safest cars in the world, maybe no.1 safest car. Europe sees your videos too.
@A real petrol-head there is a slight difference between "vertical vents look cheap and ugly" and "i prefer horizontal vents". You might not like it but the car is exceptionally good. Even better if it were an inscription pro.
@A real bisexual petrol-head i'm laughing my arse off. If you say you choose the mk1 octavia over an xc90 2018 because of horizontal vents, you are either braindead or a troll.
@A real bisexual petrol-head tbh i would rather have a car with "cheap ugly vents" (even though they're not ugly) than get crushed at a 50 kph accident in an mk1.
I don't really get how a car that's *"almost as good as a Rolls Royce",* for a fraction of the price, only get's a "3" in value. Doug clearly isn't objective and this car should be the highest scoring car in Daily segment.
It's kind of subjective to him, but then also to the market. The quality and experience is near a Rolls, but the engine isn't as reliable. Nor does anyone think "Volvo" for luxury like they do Rolls Royce. Popularity shouldn't really be a factor in the scoring, but it is, because popularity affects the resale value. So if it were "initial" value it'd be higher.
"The engine isn't as reliable" How do you know? And this is a much better value than a Rolls Royce Cullinan that costs four times as much but why? Bigger engine, an even more luxurious interieur but mostly marketing. Take the RR badge away and the Cullinan is a $150k car.
Say a Rolls Royce engine that is reliable? They are'nt any.. And now BMW owns RR it's more unreliable on elctronics and everything! I have never heard a volvo engine that you want to get "away" from accept the Mitsubishi GDI engine in the S40. Volvo's diesel engines is reliable! So.. you are spot on!! :D I don't know any RR that have rolled over 30 000km ;D
Yeah, but it's not a $5k motocycle, it's worth over 100k. You'd think it'd be a little more intuitive instead of something you don't see on vehicle with more than 2 wheels.
You know if I look at interior of these car and compare to other $100k cars like Lincoln Navigator, Cadillac Escalate... this one is worth $100k. Quality, details, luxury... you know people who's design it really thinks.
The car deserves the price tag. In many other luxury cars, I felt around and looked at it and it definitely did not fit a $100k-$200k price tag(especially BMW and some Merc models) but this car is well deserving of it's price.
The XC 90 is made in Daqing, Heilongjiang China and if that's not bad enough they're owned by Geely the otherwise most corrupt Chinese auto manufacturer, not to mention the producers of the World's most unsafe car. Buddy, I just as soon ride a horse. This is not a Swedish Volvo of yesteryear, sad.
Luco Zade look at their website. Base msrp is $141,995. It's almost 40K more so hardly a fair comparison. Plus this car is actually retailing for less than $80k
We'll see how long. They're already importing chinese Volvo's onto the EU-market. Soon they'll only have administration in Sweden, while they'll do anything to sound swedish ( which they haven't been for long ).
Cheap front wheel-based platform, nothing more than poor 4-cylinder engines and doesn't have any full-size limo as competitor for S-class or BMW 7. Not even some nice roadster or coupe. However, it can still be regarded a high end brand for hipsters and metrosexuals who only care about large touch screen and connectivity.
bluecrabsandsushi2 yes, Volvo is high-end. Give me the name of one car with accidents and zero casualties. Absolutely nobody died in that car: Volvo xc90.
Bought the XC 90 T8 and it's wonderful. So many features, the auto pilot on the highway is flawless. And the speed is insane, while giving insane MPG. I got it to 94 MPG today taking the kids to the park. I would recommend this SUV to anyone.
Audi? The r8 cost less than that. Don't bring a good German series to a bad name, it's no where near BMW or Mercedes. A SQ5, which I would rather over this, is priced at 80k and would be a way better choice. Don't even talk trash on the engine either, yes they had bad times in the past but everything up from 2009 has been god like. I hate when people BMW and Audi in the same category. Once you drive off the lot with a Audi you don't feel like you just wasted a bunch of money.
I like Volvos, granted not a fan of their SUVs, but I'd buy that for 20k. No problem. As long as it has one of those "unlimited mile bumper-to-bumper" warranties.
When SAAB had the key between the seats everyone thought it was dumb. But when the former SAAB engineers that now works at Volvo moved the start point it is quirky and fun... Volvo is no longer just Volvo, it is SAAVLO.
poppingt4gs he always does when reviewing luxury cars it's kinda funny. But it also highlights the quietness and luxury of the car when he's talking that way
@A real bisexual petrol-head Buy a P3 car then. But vertical vents save space for the display, so it can be integrated into the dash, rather than sitting on the dash pad.
+Shobin Drogan By your logic, Los Angeles, San Salvador, Chihuahua, Ottawa and Nassau are in the same country called North America. Africa is a continent.
12:57 Doug, you are too blind to even check out how to operate that "infuriating" transmission. Let me help you. In order to shift from Reverse to Drive directly, and vice versa, you just pull and hold it. It's not even infuriating, unless you are just blind in annoyance.
Doug, the kind of guy who comes to your home, let's himself in, opens the fridge, drinks milk from the carton and tells you about how much he hates the 2017 Volvo XC90 Excellence shift gear
Since when 5.5 seconds till 60 in a freakin luxury SUV is just 4/10? It should be at least 5 or even 6, since it's legit faster than 90% of the cars produced.
OpticObsidiaN You’ve been living under a rock for years, they have two if I’m right currently, the Jeep Grand Chareokee SRT, and the Grand Chareokee Trackhawk, that’s using the Hellcat engine with 707 hp.
dspicerj They're not common in NA but in Europe/Oceania there are way more of them. In Australia they're as common as Porsches, and Porsches (because of the Macan and Cayenne, not the 911 ofc) are incredibly common in the good neighbourhoods
The excellence is not made for big volumes, but I think they will be popular in China. But normal xc90 are extremely popular, and the Volvo fabric in Gothenburg is having a hard time keeping up to the demand. I even think they will soon start production in USA.
Kinda disappointed that you didn't mention the safety features. Would have easily earned a 10 in the features category if you took that into consideration.
12:32 ...Vlaams....VLAAAMS!!!! Oh my god....that's hilarious.... Vlaams is actually the northern part of Belgium. Kinda like Dutch, but then in a more soft tone....
+Doug DeMuro, I personally own a "fully loaded" 2016 XC90 Inscription. So, while I've seen an Excellence model, I cannot speak for that trim level. However, there a few corrections to point out. First, in "Rough Road" mode, the transmission limits you to a certain speed. But, if you're looking for a fast 0 to 60 speed test, then you should've chose the "Dynamic" drive setting. And the styling? Sweden is primarily known for two vehicle manufacturers; Volvo and Saab. I believe that Ikea furniture (Or, maybe just the styling.) is from there as well. However; if you're looking for something to point out, then why not the "Since 1959" that's stamped into every seatbelt latch? After all; Volvo did design the three-point safety latch seatbelt system. But Seriously???Can we really not get ONE mention of safety, or the safety features, that Volvo includes as STANDARD on all Volvo's?BLIS with Cross Traffic Alert - Lets you know when it's ok to change lanes. Warns if another vehicle is crossing your path.Adaptive Cruise Control - Maintains distance between you & the vehicle ahead of you. Lane Keeping Aid - Alerts driver if you drift out of your lane.Road Sign Information - Reads speed limit & school zone signs, and reminds you of your speed.Things you did not review:Any of the safety features; standard or add-ons.Head-up Display4-corner Air Suspension
He can't because then he might be impressed, i've struggled through the 11 minute mark, and all he did was draw his nose up to it like it's something far beneath him, alternatively to ridicule.
I'm actually picking up a S90 T6 Inscription, and yes, you can put it in Dynamic, but keeping the transmission as automatic rather than using the gear shifter to manually go through the gears it does take a little more time than I care for the transmission to understand what I'm asking of it. It IS designed to be every day, rather than a sports sedan. *However*, what they have available now is a 'Polestar' tune, which is just a TCU (transmission control unit) and ECU tune that gives a little more power (not much, honestly), but it alters the shift patterns on the transmission which helps it fully utilize the twin-charging (and hybrid, if so equipped) for I think like $1500 or a little less. I'll probably have that done next year on my S90. It may also alter the AWD from being primarily FWD bias to RWD/Neutral, but I'm not 100% positive on that aspect. I also find the handling to be quite fine when it's rolling on 21's or 22's (which my tester had 21's). I think 22's would be too harsh and the suspension on my current vehicle is pretty aggressive for regular driving. To compare, I test drove an E53 and that felt like really responsive clouds compared to my current car, as did the F-Sport GS350 in sport and the Ghibli SQ4 in sport.
Ryan Shannon polestar models have physical differences as well. Engine parts are not the same as the regular t6 engine, some pf them are bigger/ more robust, and most of the parts are in the gold polestar colour.
@@erikbuiten14 Yes, the actual P* models do have physical differences, but for the S90 T6 Inscription that I picked up last week, you can get the software itself flashed where it's been 'optimized' by Polestar. It's kind of annoying, because I feel like the P* flash should've been how the S90 came factory from the dealership. But, I know it came out a year or so after the S90 release and that platform required EXTENSIVE software updates to get everything working well, as mine does now. I know that they will release a proper Polestar built vehicle, but I think that's in 2020, isn't it?

I just said they weren't trashy, they are still suboptimal. Honestly it is so confusing to me why auto makers can't put a half decent GPU and CPU or an APU in these cars to handle these systems.
Dude i saw 3 days ago a 2002 s60 wich had over 900.000km on it
GG VOLVO
D5 engine? Those engines are indestructible. I doubt the reliability of these newer models though. So many things that can break.
No but like Volvo is the best
In finlqnd there is 2010 s80 4.4 v8 with over 900 000kms and still running without problems
@@lare74 Indeed, but that engine was built by Yamaha. Not dissing Volvo, ofc, I own an S60 D5 with 408.000 kms.
I was gonna likw but likes are at 69
Doug the type of guy who give us the best car reviews
If I knew this guy when he was a teenager, I would say "Doug's the type of guy to ask his parents for a $6500 Volvo"
$1650*
"sixty-five-hundred bucks" is what he said, $6500. Not sixteen hundred and fifty.
hahahahah.
So they got him a white one........
Sixty five hundred is 6500...boi learn your numbers xD
sorry no english

By Doug
When you're swimming in a pool, but pour water from a water bottle on your head.
seriously how much of a narcissist do you have to be to name a scoring system after yourself
burnzy3210 what else could he have named it?
DougScore.
By the United States of America.
I mean, he wouldn't have named it Burnzy3210Score, or Mint_PicklesScore, would he?
On a VOLVO ?!!! Is Doug high or something. It s a luxury brand and one of the best too.
Are you in the US? Here, we don’t look at Volvo as elite. I mean don’t get me wrong it’s no Ford or Honda, but it is nothing like how we view Mercedes or BMW.
Doug the type of guy who buys WINRAR just to stop the notification
After using winrar for 20 years, I decided to buy it. I figured I tested it thoroughly enough at that point to spring the $20 to pay for it. LOL
b1ackhawkuh60 The history of WINRAR is absolutely fascinating and legendary.
the free alternative is cracked winrar lol

I did exactly that xD
I don't know why you're underestimating european cars like "in a Volvooo...!?" Btw, Volvo is one of the safest cars in the world, maybe no.1 safest car. Europe sees your videos too.
@A real petrol-head there is a slight difference between "vertical vents look cheap and ugly" and "i prefer horizontal vents". You might not like it but the car is exceptionally good. Even better if it were an inscription pro.
@A real bisexual petrol-head i'm laughing my arse off. If you say you choose the mk1 octavia over an xc90 2018 because of horizontal vents, you are either braindead or a troll.
@A real bisexual petrol-head tbh i would rather have a car with "cheap ugly vents" (even though they're not ugly) than get crushed at a 50 kph accident in an mk1.
@A real bisexual petrol-head i don't like cheap, ugly horizontal vents. :>
Not one single Volvo made the IIHS top pick list this year. Out of thirty possible spots, they got... zero.
I think the value category should have been higher. You're comparing $100,000 car to Bentleys and rolls-royces three times that
Agreed
Even a well equipped Range Rover would be more
Bowers & Wilkins is the best sound system I've ever heard in a car maybe tied with Bang & Olufsen
I don't really get how a car that's *"almost as good as a Rolls Royce",* for a fraction of the price, only get's a "3" in value.
Doug clearly isn't objective and this car should be the highest scoring car in Daily segment.
i agree, he doesnt make sense in a lot of scoring
It's kind of subjective to him, but then also to the market. The quality and experience is near a Rolls, but the engine isn't as reliable. Nor does anyone think "Volvo" for luxury like they do Rolls Royce. Popularity shouldn't really be a factor in the scoring, but it is, because popularity affects the resale value. So if it were "initial" value it'd be higher.
"The engine isn't as reliable" How do you know? And this is a much better value than a Rolls Royce Cullinan that costs four times as much but why? Bigger engine, an even more luxurious interieur but mostly marketing. Take the RR badge away and the Cullinan is a $150k car.
Say a Rolls Royce engine that is reliable? They are'nt any.. And now BMW owns RR it's more unreliable on elctronics and everything! I have never heard a volvo engine that you want to get "away" from accept the Mitsubishi GDI engine in the S40. Volvo's diesel engines is reliable! So.. you are spot on!! :D I don't know any RR that have rolled over 30 000km ;D

Actually! I don't mind the shift knob, two shifts down two shifts up. seems simple.
Yeah, but it's not a $5k motocycle, it's worth over 100k. You'd think it'd be a little more intuitive instead of something you don't see on vehicle with more than 2 wheels.
No Doug, 0-60 in 6 seconds is not excellent... it's excellence.
Lmaooo 😂
Airsoft Incompetence true
Lol
You know if I look at interior of these car and compare to other $100k cars like Lincoln Navigator, Cadillac Escalate... this one is worth $100k.
Quality, details, luxury... you know people who's design it really thinks.
The car deserves the price tag. In many other luxury cars, I felt around and looked at it and it definitely did not fit a $100k-$200k price tag(especially BMW and some Merc models) but this car is well deserving of it's price.
Doug, the type of guy to have a Yahoo e-mail address in 2017.
Matty P Type of guy to still use VCR
I thought he had an AOL email address. lol
Bich
I still use yahoo..
Doug looks like typical teacher of physical education
Nice looking Volvo
Enzo Fxx meh. its not that cool.
That Guy Who Wastes His Life On YT he said that it looked nice...
very few i see here in ny
The XC 90 is made in Daqing, Heilongjiang China and if that's not bad enough they're owned by Geely the otherwise most corrupt Chinese auto manufacturer, not to mention the producers of the World's most unsafe car. Buddy, I just as soon ride a horse.
This is not a Swedish Volvo of yesteryear, sad.
D Jaquith maybe the Excellence, but not the normal XC90, there are tons of them that are built in Sweden.
Volvo: we made a $100,000 suv
Range Rover: breathes heavily
Ngl both Volvo and Land Rover are one hella classy manufacturers 👌
Keep in mind the alternative is that $100k Cadillac Escalade Doug reviewed last year. It's a complete no brainer, get the XC90 excellence.
4 seater Volvo vs 7 seater caddi
Range Rover Autobiography
Luco Zade look at their website. Base msrp is $141,995. It's almost 40K more so hardly a fair comparison. Plus this car is actually retailing for less than $80k
John John quality vs quantity
A Google User over here in the UK it's around 100k (some models slightly less), but I see your point
The reason why it says "By Sweden" is because that is their slogan. (At least in Sweden it is)
Volvo trying to distract attention away from its Chinese owner.
The Swedish motto: "Bye, Sweden!"
Mr. White
Chinese owners, yes. Old Swedish staff still there.
We'll see how long. They're already importing chinese Volvo's onto the EU-market. Soon they'll only have administration in Sweden, while they'll do anything to sound swedish ( which they haven't been for long ).
Jonathan S
That’s wierd. They’ve ramped up the production in Torslanda dramatically. Guess Volvo is lying.
I don't understand why Volvo would be a limitation? I think of Volvo as a high end brand.
your the only 1
Cheap front wheel-based platform, nothing more than poor 4-cylinder engines and doesn't have any full-size limo as competitor for S-class or BMW 7. Not even some nice roadster or coupe. However, it can still be regarded a high end brand for hipsters and metrosexuals who only care about large touch screen and connectivity.
The Nobler you’re an idiot
The Nobler your so stupid
bluecrabsandsushi2 yes, Volvo is high-end. Give me the name of one car with accidents and zero casualties. Absolutely nobody died in that car: Volvo xc90.
Bought the XC 90 T8 and it's wonderful. So many features, the auto pilot on the highway is flawless. And the speed is insane, while giving insane MPG. I got it to 94 MPG today taking the kids to the park. I would recommend this SUV to anyone.
If Mercedes, BMW, Audi made this, they’d sell this for 250K
x6m is 180k and so much better and more luxury
What the A8, S class and 7 series?
Have you ever been inside of a XC90? Didn't think so...
40Tman X6 m is NOT better in terms of luxury.
Audi? The r8 cost less than that. Don't bring a good German series to a bad name, it's no where near BMW or Mercedes. A SQ5, which I would rather over this, is priced at 80k and would be a way better choice. Don't even talk trash on the engine either, yes they had bad times in the past but everything up from 2009 has been god like. I hate when people BMW and Audi in the same category. Once you drive off the lot with a Audi you don't feel like you just wasted a bunch of money.
I feel 5 years from now this would make a great video on "Here's why the Volvo lost $80,000 in value".
@Mukul clearly you know little about Volvo's
Mukul Dave hahahaha yes. It probably didn't cost them but 8k and they get 92K in their pocket
and "here's why the Volvo cost $8k a year to maintain".
I like Volvos, granted not a fan of their SUVs, but I'd buy that for 20k. No problem. As long as it has one of those "unlimited mile bumper-to-bumper" warranties.
Clearly you don't know about luxury cars
Why only a 7 in style? This thing is a beauty..
@Daniel Fl. Yes it is
it's a Durango
Daniel Fl. Its a hump on wheels, like every other suv id honestly give it a 2/10
Daniel Fl. It's a fucking ugly tiny dodge SUV.
Headlights are nice but that's it... a 2016 Nissan Murano and Lexus NX ARE beauties
When SAAB had the key between the seats everyone thought it was dumb. But when the former SAAB engineers that now works at Volvo moved the start point it is quirky and fun... Volvo is no longer just Volvo, it is SAAVLO.
Doug the type of guy that post comments on porn websites
Aldo S Haha, oh man!
Doug is the type of guy to soon have a million subscriber.
I feel like Doug spoke a bit softer in this video
poppingt4gs he always does when reviewing luxury cars it's kinda funny. But it also highlights the quietness and luxury of the car when he's talking that way
Volvo: Do you want your car to be supercharged, turbo charged or hybrid electric?
Customer: Yes
You forgot to show us the panoramic sunroof :]
How many times Doug says "excellent" while reviewing an "excellence" car? Did you count? lol
Regardless of this, the times he says "hundred-thousand" dwarf both.
Dude I love your video mostly the convertible m3
so, he needs a tux for this? ... u fool
modelllichtsysteme the car is only full excellence words written everywhere. Hahah
How about how many times he said $100,000? Lol
Doug DeMuro made by Murica.

“The shifter is crystal...much better than the plastic crap you get in the normal xc90!” 😂 😂 😂 I’m dead
IN SWEDEN VOLVO REVIEWS YOU.
In sweden men are gay
What the hell?
Ok Mohammad.
dulez ninjaman how about vulvas?
dulez ninjaman in what? Soviet sweden
hold the gear lever downwards for a second and itll switch to drive automatically
And that's just so typical of VOLVO ingenuity...too bad the presenter didn't understand this:(
took me three months working at a volvo dealer i thought i was the biggest dumbass that day
yeh come on doug get it together lad
@A real bisexual petrol-head Buy a P3 car then. But vertical vents save space for the display, so it can be integrated into the dash, rather than sitting on the dash pad.
Doug is the type of guy to own a Ferrari but wear New Balances
*L M A O*
No No True.. 😂😂😂😂😂
New balances are nice? Especially in the Southern States they are extremely popular and look better with more outfits than Yeezy's or Nikes.
Stop lmao
What's wrong with New Balances? Smart people with money and priorities don't spend it on shoes and clothes.
That feeling when Doug shouts the name of your native language. Yes Doug, we speak Vlaams. It is real. We are people.
Doug is dat type vent om VLAAAAAMS luidop te roepen en te doen alsof het geen echte taal is :)
Liar.
That's the sexiest interior I've ever seen.
Ramtin Behipour s90 inscription owner, can confirm the interiors are nice.
s90 is a dream car. how is the air suspension with adaptive dampers over bumps?
just curious to hear it from an owner
yall hiring?
I love my Volvo, miss my SAAB though (scrapped because of a crash).
The "seal" on the glasses is actually a grouse.
Cheers from Sweden!
Was looking for a comment about the Orrefors glasses that there's not a seal on them :) finally
Very glad someone pointed this out to the ignorant American :) Cheers from Svitjod :)
Denali, by America
micro christ gotta engrave that into the headrests in my Envoy Denali lol
micro christ exactly. Nobody in America is stupid enough to spend 100K on a Volvo and then on top of that a tiny little SUV with no storage lol
beautifully executed!
Ebola, by Africa.
+Shobin Drogan By your logic, Los Angeles, San Salvador, Chihuahua, Ottawa and Nassau are in the same country called North America. Africa is a continent.

Doug, you are too blind to even check out how to operate that "infuriating" transmission. Let me help you. In order to shift from Reverse to Drive directly, and vice versa, you just pull and hold it. It's not even infuriating, unless you are just blind in annoyance.
Good one mate ..
Some people will shift from Reverse to Drive even the car was moving reverse which will ruin clutch.
Thats the reason Volvo made this smart technique.
@@samfernandoz8443 exactly
Just takes some practice. Once you know what to do, it's easy.
Doug, the kind of guy who comes to your home, let's himself in, opens the fridge, drinks milk from the carton and tells you about how much he hates the 2017 Volvo XC90 Excellence shift gear
I thought it was weird at first, but I got used to it. BMW and Range Rover had similarly stupid gear shifts when I tried them.
Since when 5.5 seconds till 60 in a freakin luxury SUV is just 4/10? It should be at least 5 or even 6, since it's legit faster than 90% of the cars produced.
Don Fanto it's in a very small class with this speed. Jeep Whatever hell cat thing, Audi SQ5, and maybe a Porsche turbo or two.
afrosheenix I think you're referring to the DODGE hellcat? Since when does jeep make muscle cars lmao
OpticObsidiaN arent there srt8 jeeps?
OpticObsidiaN You’ve been living under a rock for years, they have two if I’m right currently, the Jeep Grand Chareokee SRT, and the Grand Chareokee Trackhawk, that’s using the Hellcat engine with 707 hp.
My moms SUV does 0-60 in 5.1 seconds
Volvo seems to have a very different reputation in the USA than it does in Europe and Asia.
I know, right? Fuck knows why he was so surprised by a $100,000 Volvo.
When I was young, a sportcar going 6s 0-60 was super fast, nowadays a TANK doing 5,8s gets a 4 out of 10 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Doug the type of guy to brush his armpit hair
$100k volvo...it better come with its own ipads
Mark ikr. Volvo is so cheap they raped the customer at 100k and can't get a iPad lol
Mark I thought the same, I would say to the salesman fuck the champagne glasses, give me ipads
Mark right? Stupid to have ipad holders as a feature without adding in actual ipads
It does come with iPads.
Rick Richter, what? Where?
When Volvo call their vehicles rare with only two vehicles per dealership, it's mean this shit is not selling.
Michael Nguyen ive seen plenty of xc90's on the road. Maybe not the excellence model but i have seen them.
Not Poisoned Aleks where do you live I haven't see one yet then again I havent seen anyone drive a volvo in ages
dspicerj They're not common in NA but in Europe/Oceania there are way more of them. In Australia they're as common as Porsches, and Porsches (because of the Macan and Cayenne, not the 911 ofc) are incredibly common in the good neighbourhoods
The excellence is not made for big volumes, but I think they will be popular in China. But normal xc90 are extremely popular, and the Volvo fabric in Gothenburg is having a hard time keeping up to the demand. I even think they will soon start production in USA.
Maybe not in the US but in sweden every 3/4th car you see is a volvo and the XC60 and XC90 sell like crazy
I have this car! Dumped my Range Rover and never looked back. Huge upgrade both in luxury and special in quality.
How much did the Range cost? And how well specced are both?
I have one that look exactly like this one. Brilliant car
Kinda disappointed that you didn't mention the safety features. Would have easily earned a 10 in the features category if you took that into consideration.
Hey Doug can you review the 2017 Audi RS3?
nice ags bro how much you buy it for?
Hope you don't mean the hatchback since they are not available in the US , I tried looking ☹️
Only the sedan is available in the US.
Was thinking of this as well. Everyone loves that 5 cylinder engine.
Now I need an "Excellence by Sweden" sticker for my old wagon.
It deserves one.
How excellent is it, exactly?
12:32 ...Vlaams....VLAAAMS!!!!
Oh my god....that's hilarious....
Vlaams is actually the northern part of Belgium.
Kinda like Dutch, but then in a more soft tone....
Euhm, Nederlandse dialecten, ni echt een taal tbh.,.
+Doug DeMuro, I personally own a "fully loaded" 2016 XC90 Inscription. So, while I've seen an Excellence model, I cannot speak for that trim level. However, there a few corrections to point out. First, in "Rough Road" mode, the transmission limits you to a certain speed. But, if you're looking for a fast 0 to 60 speed test, then you should've chose the "Dynamic" drive setting. And the styling? Sweden is primarily known for two vehicle manufacturers; Volvo and Saab. I believe that Ikea furniture (Or, maybe just the styling.) is from there as well. However; if you're looking for something to point out, then why not the "Since 1959" that's stamped into every seatbelt latch? After all; Volvo did design the three-point safety latch seatbelt system. But Seriously???Can we really not get ONE mention of safety, or the safety features, that Volvo includes as STANDARD on all Volvo's?BLIS with Cross Traffic Alert - Lets you know when it's ok to change lanes. Warns if another vehicle is crossing your path.Adaptive Cruise Control - Maintains distance between you & the vehicle ahead of you. Lane Keeping Aid - Alerts driver if you drift out of your lane.Road Sign Information - Reads speed limit & school zone signs, and reminds you of your speed.Things you did not review:Any of the safety features; standard or add-ons.Head-up Display4-corner Air Suspension
He can't because then he might be impressed, i've struggled through the 11 minute mark, and all he did was draw his nose up to it like it's something far beneath him, alternatively to ridicule.
I'm actually picking up a S90 T6 Inscription, and yes, you can put it in Dynamic, but keeping the transmission as automatic rather than using the gear shifter to manually go through the gears it does take a little more time than I care for the transmission to understand what I'm asking of it. It IS designed to be every day, rather than a sports sedan. *However*, what they have available now is a 'Polestar' tune, which is just a TCU (transmission control unit) and ECU tune that gives a little more power (not much, honestly), but it alters the shift patterns on the transmission which helps it fully utilize the twin-charging (and hybrid, if so equipped) for I think like $1500 or a little less. I'll probably have that done next year on my S90. It may also alter the AWD from being primarily FWD bias to RWD/Neutral, but I'm not 100% positive on that aspect. I also find the handling to be quite fine when it's rolling on 21's or 22's (which my tester had 21's). I think 22's would be too harsh and the suspension on my current vehicle is pretty aggressive for regular driving. To compare, I test drove an E53 and that felt like really responsive clouds compared to my current car, as did the F-Sport GS350 in sport and the Ghibli SQ4 in sport.
Ryan Shannon polestar models have physical differences as well. Engine parts are not the same as the regular t6 engine, some pf them are bigger/ more robust, and most of the parts are in the gold polestar colour.
@@erikbuiten14 Yes, the actual P* models do have physical differences, but for the S90 T6 Inscription that I picked up last week, you can get the software itself flashed where it's been 'optimized' by Polestar. It's kind of annoying, because I feel like the P* flash should've been how the S90 came factory from the dealership. But, I know it came out a year or so after the S90 release and that platform required EXTENSIVE software updates to get everything working well, as mine does now. I know that they will release a proper Polestar built vehicle, but I think that's in 2020, isn't it?
Ryan Shannon in sweden we can order a pure polestar s60, but im unsure about rest of the world
this guys clothing.. he could be my math teacher lmao
I’m only getting it if it has bumper to bumper warranty
The logo on the glass is a grouse not a seal. The swedish word for grouse is ORRE, and Orrefors is a worldclass glass manufacturer.
Doug the type to be the type to kiss a pancake before eating.
Yeah, unlike the rest of us who only kiss the _pretty pancakes_ !
wtf
Not pancake but Doug(h)nut.
what the fuck
You're an idiot, dude
In Finland the starting price for XC90 is a bit over 100 000$. That'll give you a base model with no extra features...
Doug, the kind of guy to wear two t-shirts whilst wearing shorts!
I love that this model is realy taking off here in Finland. Now i can see every where this beautiful car.
Respect to Volvo for this beauty
Well here in Denmark this car is $347.033 🤓 So $105.000 is a bargain!
By the way - FML...
I think you are much better of living in your socialist state, then in Umerica
A strong welfare state - that is absolutely disgusting and the only way it even stays upright is the fact that Denmark is mostly a homogeneous society. In mixed societies it's the death of the common man.
Dear Volkswagen,
Take notes.
Except for the motorcycle shifter.
Trippin have you seen the new a8
@Piddles I know right
Nah...Porsche fits closer to this... volkswagens aren't really luxury
Volkswagen AG or VW? Why would VW do this? Volkswagen AG has so many more brands that would be better suited to compete with a luxury SUV than VW.
well technically there are Volvo trucks that cost more than $100K
Well duuh, it's Volvo..
