Best looking SUV ive seen.
Srdjan Smudja Definitely one of the best.
Yeah this and the new range rover autobiography
agree I would love to own this car.
Am I the only one that enjoyed the music kicking in when she wasn't talking?
No u not the only one... I loved the BG music.
Could u tell me the singer n the track
Can anyone tell me what's the songs name????????
hmilydylan the song is "Don't Hate Me" by Saïd Nefzi
***** I certainly didn't. I could not tell if this was a music video or a car review.
LK Campbell I found this music annoying. I do think its a good looking car though. Hopefully one of them will be able to do a good through review. I can't blame her for not being through this time. But hopefully next time they can and will.
I'm sure this Volvo will be a huge hit. It looks so good, the interior is stunning, and it is bound to be timeless like most Volvos are. If this is the new direction Volvo is going with their cars then I absolutely approve.
Nicest SUV in its segment IMO
What I love about this car is simplicity. It seems that "noise" is removed from everything. Simple dashboard, not many buttons...
Volvo navigation is actually easy to use. If it's like on my Volvo S60, you can say "Navigation go to address". Then it will query for the City, Streetname, house number. The trick is to look on the screen (assuming it does show it like the S60) to see what words you can say at the beginning.
Very nice SUV styled perfectly, good job TFL! With review especially Emme did a very good job of information.
Great review by Emme as always, and for those who haven't seen it, the R-design looks amazing!
Finally Emme is back doing a review. Guess she was too busy crossing the country in her Mazdaspeed.. :-)
I'm not sure a little 2lt engine would be able to handle all the extra weight a 7 passenger SUV will have to handle. It being supercharged and turbocharged is an interesting concept. I think vehicles of this size shouldn't come with anything smaller than a V6 engine.
That being said, I'm happy to see Volvo is adapting a similar approach to ergonomics the way Tesla has. Yes, the screen isn't as big, but the concept is just the same.
I can't wait to see Emme do a review of the upcoming Model X!
What are the odds I randomly look up this car for review which I haven't done in forever for a car and you guys just posted this and it's Emmy. Emmy you are so classy. Seriously.
I always love it when she does reviews! Would never miss one.
Emme, you're wrong about Vanilla Ice's song. The guy at the end was right. It is "A1A Beachfront Avenue". Vanilla Ice was definitely representing Miami. Nice First Drive review, though.
Great review as always Emme!
Nice car. Good review, but you really got to work on our use of "um" to start almost every sentence.
A1A "beachfront ave" It runs parallel to the atlantic in Miami beach and most of the east coast; there is "no" detroit ave
They listened!!! I suggested they drive this car and they did!!
Great review. Can anyone tell me the name of the song that's playing in the first few minutes?
Great vid/review, TFL/Emme!!! Kudos to Volvo switching things up a bit, regarding their "iPad-dash". Glad to see a car company that's not afraid to be different!
Thanks for having some other music as the back ground. Best review I've seen you do yet.
Does anyone know who and what song is playing on?
I like how this car is so eye catching but so sophisticatedly simple. The design inside and outside are elegant and stylish but there are these sophisticated details that just bring the design to life, above all others. Just imagine if it used Ford's Sync 3 system.
What song is this? Where can I buy it?
What do you think to paint the grill in black???
Nice!.......... oh and love the music..... sets the tone really well,.... surprised by all the people that don't like background music,... but that's non of my business....( as I sip my tea )....lol
Someone pl tell me the artist n track title playing in the back ground.
What is this song? I can't find it anywhere.
I was really waiting for this review...thnx team tfl :-)
Nahi re baba...u know how I like reading about new cars and technology ;-)
What's the name of the song in the beginning?
What was the song playing?
Nice high energy review on this beautiful, sleek SUV that will dominate the market as more people are familiar with what it provides those who purchase it. Everyone who has negative comments perhaps you should present your own version in a video format and see just how professional your clip is and whether you can achieve the same view count as she's done with this video. Good work Emmy on the video and I'm glad to see you adding some humour into the review, most men who do reviews are boring and lack emotion when presenting such vehicles to youtube audiences.
What's the song at the beginning??
Emme you fit so well in the drivers seat. This one may be a keeper for you! With the price of full size trucks approaching the stratosphere, this vehicle is priced fairly competitively - all things considered.
Good video Emme I love that Volvo XC90!
I have the new Volvo XC90, and I must say that the second row seats, that give access to the rear, fold down. They don't judge fold forward like a Convertible, they actually fold (nearly) flat. You have to pull the string located next to the headrest to plop down the head rest, and then pull the lever all the way back and the seat will drop down.
Connor Gibbs They don't just*
Connor Gibbs And I meant 2015 not 2016
Oh wow, it was filmed in Ojai, CA. That's Ventura County's backyard. You guys were 30 mins away from where I live, and must have been when we had rain pour last week.
Very nice Volvo. I always enjoyed the look of gen 1, but this gen 2 looks great especially changing their navi integration and how to operate it. But maybe down the road a refresh might make in on my list along with 3G MDX. Enjoying my 2011 MDX.
Really nice-looking design - much nicer than the original.
One thing I LOVE about my Volvo XC60 is that I can adjust the temperature and fan speed without looking away from the road. The bottom left big knob is temp and the small one in the middle is fan. I can even feel my way around the "Body" "Head" and "Feet" adjustments, again without looking.
I hate touch-screen controls like the one on this vehicle. I had a Lincoln once with such a setup (literally two physical buttons on the dash) and found it very distracting when driving.
Also, owning and maintaining a Volvo isn't for the weak of heart. Parts and maintenance are ridiculously expensive. That said, they're a pleasure to drive and very well built.
What song is playing?
Plz and i cant stress this enough, plz drive it off road in colorado. And have Nathan give it a good and informative review )
Great, concise, thorough review. Great shots of the car also.
More reviews by Emme Hall! I like her view on things in the car, she looks at things the same way I would.
Song-Dont Hate Me - Jingle Punks
MrUK910 THANKYOU~~~
I am looking for a long time~~
When she is talking about the sound system, I believe she means, "envelop", not "envelope"...it's a different word and is pronounced more like "en-vel-ep".
I don't mean to insult anyone, nor do I wish to insult anyone's favorite musical group, or favorite song...but PLEASE cut out the danged music. I'd really love to actually HEAR the car! I'd also love to see the gauges as Emme is driving, if it can be safely done. I'm here (as I suppose most are) to find out about this Volvo SUV, not some music group. Maybe you folks have this confused with a music video. Also, I thought that I would add that this is a 4 cylinder, luxury SUV. I seriously doubt that the buyers of this car need or want to hear what it sounds like as you sit in park and rev the engine. Maybe if this was something with a large V8 hot rod or a Ferrari...what are you, a bunch of sixteen year olds? It might have been nice if there had been any kind of mention regarding fuel economy or the number of cubic feet with the third row seats put away. But no, instead, we get a lesson regarding a rap song. Oh, thanks a lot for that wonderful review. This is one of the WORST car reviews that I have seen Emme do.
Please do not take the soundtrack!! It is really awesome!!
4:40 that's the reason Emmy visited Mexicalli few days ago....
Sorry, Emme
What sound track was this? Sounds great. Shazam wasn't picking it up.
the song is called Dont Hate Me by Jingle Punks
From the outside, this is a damn good looking, clean SUV. I love the seat design, too. Not sure about the little details on the dashboard and the shiny bezel of the tablet interface though. It seems like a pain in the ass to keep clean all of that.
I think the music fit perfectly to this review. Props!
How came there is plastic on the back of the seats? To me it looks cheap. Please respond
Tflcar reviews are really helpful
Best car on planet!
i own the old generation xc 90 its a only 5 speed automatic but it works perfectly and its a great buy
WHAT SONG WAS THAT
That infotainment unit is a very good design, and different as far as recent advancements in that technology.
Nice ride! Volvo has done a great job with their introduction to their new platform. Would buy this if it were smaller. Curious to see what Volvo has next.
Beautiful XC90, made in my hometown of Gothenburg, Sweden!
Song?
skip the shitty music next time bros
Best looking SUV on the market. I hope this styling makes it to the s60 soon!!!
Great review Emme. Love that Volvo. Music was annoying.
Best review ever!
Great review!
But which song is this?!?! Shazam won't recognize it...
What a lousy review..u should have shown the engine, the boot, the other neat tech inside, the beatiful meter cluster design, the other swedish practicalities installed.
This was a first drive review. When we get about an hour or two with the new car. We will be more detailed when we do a full review in Colorado
+asran abdullah Ikr... also the amount of filth under her finger nails made my stomach turn every time...
I'm done. I want one.
whats the song called
Don't hate me - jingle punks
Ford Ecoboost is trash to this
Wow watching this review made me forget about Audi, BMW and Mercedes GO VOLVO
The ignition switch and transmission selector seems pretty funky. I can see some issues arising especially with the gear selector. Leave it to the Swedes to try something unique. I wouldn't be surprised if this model makes it to a second generation those two things will be discarded for something a little more conventional.
Statimtek Interesting Volvo putting the ignition switch in the center console, that used to be a SAAB trademark. I guess the Swedes like it.
JSVSouth Lots of ex SAAB engineers working for Volvo since SAAB closed down. Might be an explanationen.
This is the second generation.....
i love this car
A couple things that I noticed;
1. The same camera scenes were redundant and annoying. I saw that right hand turn in the light rain four times...
2. did not fully show the trunk with the third row down. For parents who need to fill up with suv with strollers luggage and whatever that would have been nice.
3. I would have liked to have known the towing capacity. With that much power I would assume it can tow a little. Aside from that minor detail the sound it makes is not that great... with a supercharger I wanted to hear a subtle whine and I did not get it.
4. I have to admit the quality of filming was a little shaky,,, made me a little noxious.
5. There should have been a demonstration of the drive modes, what there were, does the steering wheel offer you to change the drive mode. Is there any sort of all-terrain modes?
LASTLY, I like your style Emme but I wish it was a little more in tune with what that car had to offer. Your reviews on sporty BMW's and the input on the trucks you review with Roman are pretty interesting because you add a good deal of input on subtle details. My favorite part was your feedback on road response through the steering wheel, just as an example...
That video was awesome ignore the idiots who want to dump the music, and please tell me the name of that awesome song. The Fast Lane Car
Emme is wrong. All the online lyric website say it is beachfront ave. not Detroit Ave.
Who is that song from? Is that Justin Timberlake?
Until she said that this car cost 55k I was thinking that it looked more along the lines of 75K. Inside and out Volvo just damn, I gotta say I'm impressed. I expect to see a lot of these going forward in the suburbs around here.
A1A in Miami is Beachfront Ave.........
Thats a sweet interior!
Dang...thanks for video on this car...I am going to consider this car now :) and keep the music.
If you are in the market for an SUV I would recommend it.
I just got one and it is amazing it is very classy and looks better than any other suv out there.
Everybody turns there head to look at the car when you are driving it. I hope you will get it and enjoy it!
Colton Henry I now love you because you got one of my favorite vehicles on the market
Always loved Nordic simplicity of design. If I was in a market for a luxury SUV I'd go for this Volvo. Unpretentious luxury.
By the way The Fast Lane Car - good review. Now, would you tell us what is the song that plays in the background?
Wow I can see that motor giving insane problems with both turbocharging and supercharging. Sure you get great power output and fuel economy but the money saved on gas will go towards fixing all the problems that engine gives. I'd hope they put an I6 or even a V8 back in the XC90.
Colorado Colorado !!Come on !! Do some off-roading with this beast !!
i loved the old xc90, but this is amazing!
please do more volvo reviews thanks for this
emme always reminds me of Freaky friday when lindsay and the mom switch bodies and she gives the mom a makeover and she looks all punk ish hahahahahah
You didn't show cargo space important for buyers of this type of SUV
no remarks about torque , acceleration in general come on girl you can do better than that
nick cramer I completely agree. This video was mostly a friggin waste. And would be more appropriate on some music video station.
No one cares about those things
Beautiful, it will age well like most Volvos.
It is doing so well I hear they have a 24 months wait list now.
Yeah that lyric is, A1A "Beachfront Avenue". Just think of the next line and its 100% not "Detroit Ave.", "Girls were hot wearing less than bikinis".
Never been to Detroit myself but I can't imagine a lot of convertible cars (his 5.0) and women wearing small bikinis.
It's Beachfront avenue. lol
Andrew is correct.
"Girls were hot wearing less than bikinis". Definitely not in Detroit.
Volvo may have a hit on their hands. Clean design in and out. Love it.
Emme!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Glad to see you back, but, um, the "young lad" as it right -
..I busted a left and I'm heading to the next block
That block was dead Yo
So I continued to A1A Beachfront Ave...
Great car by the way!!
I have to say this is one of the best interior/exterior car in this segment I thought tge infiniti qx60 was best in class but I think its a tie for these two suv.
4000 RPM redline, Emme? That would be par for a diesel which this isn't. A little internet research reveals max power is at 5700 and redline is 6500 rpm. Otherwise, pretty enjoyable review.
James Beaman she was talking about revving with the car stopped
James Beaman She was referring to the rev limiter.
Land Rover influenced, the First Volvo I actually like :)
Wow
Something I would put family in
And travel
INCREDIBLE suv.
Huge fan of the fast lane cars, especially when they are hosted by the usual guys. She killed the entire preview of the car. Guys pls review it again, or mute the video and subtitle it, or simply play the music.
I saw the blown fog light at the end of the video. A harbinger of things to come. Yes, I own a Cross Country. These things cost a lot of $$$ to keep alive. A Honda it ain't.
you must not own a newer vehicle..most come equipped with fog lights that turn on and off depending where the steering wheel is turned. not blown, sorry.
+Josh Feidt . Good point Josh but those just looked like regular fog lights to me not turning lights. My Ford ST-3 has the CORNERING LIGHTS that you refer to. Are you positive about these lights on this model Volvo? Our Cross Country is a 2004 so you are correct it's not exactly new. But I still stand behind my statement that Volvo's are expensive to keep on the road.
+Philip Rosenthale yes they are cornering. My parents test drove one of these back in May and they work in unison with the actual bending lights at night as well. Volvo is not cheap to maintain, but premium quality comes at a premium price, unfortunately.
Not your best review but you did say that you haven't really had it long. Personally i love the SUV. Just love the interiors of Audis and volvos. They worry more about making a few good products than being the biggest kid on the block.
