2022 Volvo V90 Cross Country | MotorWeek Road Test
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 фев 2025
- Despite what you may have heard, Volvo still makes cars and SUVs with internal combustion engines. And, one more thing, they still make station wagons, too! And while this V90 Cross Country may be bigger and certainly more beautiful than Volvo wagons of old, its mission remains much the same. #Volvo #VolvoV90

i just accidentally clicked here, been watching the retro reviews and i just cannot believe John Davis is still reviewing cars!! what a legend!
Glad he is though. The show would feel weird with him.
HES 100 Now
Protect this man at all cost!
He must have been hosting the reviews for at least 40 years or more. Legendary is an appropriate description.
@@jasonmages4323 Jonh Davis is legendary and great hosting
I remember watching Motorweek as a kid and I can't believe John Davis is still doing this! Looking older, but the voice has not changed a bit.
Looks like Pat Goss passed earlier this year. RIP.
John is getting older very well
Good to see John Davis in the forefront,I have a couple Volvo cars,so far quality and durability are great, good looking cars recently too.
I absolutely love my V90CC. Amazingly comfortable, super serene, and plenty of power. Everything is solid, sturdy, and well-built.
I have never been much of a Volvo guy, but this is definitely one sweet ride.
Volvo for life 👍🏻
Holy crap John is still going?! I watched this guy as a little kid with my dad on TV.
My favourite modern Volvo. Classy, minimalist Scandinavian interior.
I have had the pleasure of owning a 2006 V70R. 140k miles. Good for another 10 years
that's a car
Gotta give Volvo special respect for still making a proper estate car, and a damn hot looking one at that.
Been watching since 1997! The most consistent thing in my life! 🤣
In 2020 I shopped this with a MB E-450 wagon and went with the latter. That 4 cylinder engine, even turbo and super charged struggled with the 4700lb weight. My wife was with me on the test drive and when I tried merge onto the highway it was very noisy and unrefined. My wife asked why is it so noisy and the sales guy said its the turbo spooling up. I responded that its a 4700lb vehicle with a struggling 4 cylinder engine. The interior is about 20% less space than my 2014 Volvo XC70 T6 wagon. It was also expensive at low $60's for a loaded V90 XC. I ended up buying the E-450 with an almost 390HP 3.0 litre twin turbo 6 cylinder. It was smooth, refined and hauled if put into sport mode. I got a great deal on a new 2020 in early 2021 making the E-450 only $4800 more than the Volvo and there is no comparison there in my opinion.
Love my 2021 V60 Cross Country. Will look for a V90 Cross Country once my lease is done!
Nice work Volvo! Love wagons!
Wonder how many of their wagons John has tested?!
She’s a beauty - long and swoopy, even the DRLs are part of the design.
God save the wagons
Yes
I love wagons. I only buy wagons and hatchbacks lol. I'm at 2 each now.
I love this car.
My XC90 Inscription is perfect for me, though I could see adding an V90 CC to the family. 🌞👍👍
Have MW been putting more focus on vehicle audio? That’s what I missed most from the retro review was the focus on vehicle sounds.
Is the V60CC on sale !
The V90 is very hard to find… In the NYC area, I only see 8 within a 250 miles radius, and 2 less than 30 miles away. Hard to justify at the price, A XC90 is more practical and similarly priced. I love the proportions of the V90 though, I’d get it just for the looks!
Harmon Kardon? What about the Bowers Wilkin?
Volvos don't have Bowers Wilkin audio.
@jsz2619 they actually do as an option 😉 not cheap...
Wish this had a 3d row jump seat option, even rear facing for short trips . But then the spare tire would have to be sacrificed... otherwise a great alternative to Stupid Useless Vehicles (SUV) that are currently available...
😂😂
Owned six Volvos over the decades. Until they go back to RWD-based systems, all their offerings will fall short.
The "B6" designation threw me for a loop after decades of T5 and T6 Volvos. I can imagine Jimmy Broadbent thinking this has a "B6 motor."
amazing and solid car!
Wish this was a V6, with 300 hp.
Like the old 2007+ XC70’s with the turbo straight 6 🔥
That makes two of us.
The 295hp and 310+ lb-ft torque is excellent. I’m super thrilled with my V90CC.
Inline 5 would be also good.
My V90 T6 has more than 300hp. It would be closer to 400hp with a V6
Will Volvo do a Cross Country version of a future EV wagon?
By the way. What happened to the video on the Lucid Air?
Yes they will do that.
I'll be selling my 2018 V60 AWD T6 for this bad boy!
How much? 😀
It’s nice!
Are they any manufacturers still making a station wagon?
Volvo, Subaru, Audi, Mercedes
This is about as close as you can get to a true wagon.
NICE
A lot of new cars are ugly but this is attractive. It's also a Volvo so it would last.
thumb up 👍 if you love John Davis!
love the car... hate the 4cyl... not paying that $$ for a 4 banger
Volvo cars ad SUVs have alot of style. I would buy it over a BMW in a heart ❤ beat. The evs imo are over priced relative to their range.
Best looking wagon I wish they would make a serious sporty version
How dare you sir! Old Volvo station wagons were gorgeous.
How is it even possible that this has LESS cargo space than my 2019 VW Alltrack?!? As an avid RC plane enthusiast the cargo volume (and length) is important. Seems impossible it's got less volume, but the Alltrack has 30.4/66.5 vs the V90 at 25.2/53.6. Crazy.
For me personally, I'd still buy the better quality V90.
@@texan903 except Volvo drivetrains have gotten extremely complex, it will be a nightmare to fix. Would much rather take the Alltrack
@@xnopyt13 We've got a few of the complex ones in the family, no problems so far!
The V90 has a tapered rear end, whereas the Jetta has a more squared off rear. That's where the Volvo loses the volume.
Larger rear seat, its based on an executive sedan.
Nice, but single men don't drive wagons
Id rather have the old V70R.
car colour is same with road colour. thats not safe option. i would ban that colour for every car brands
Fucking Volvo, ditch the 4 cylinder and give us a straight six. Sad, such nice cars without a proper engine.
Notice your profile references a Saab 9-5. The HOT Aero was a four-cylinder, in case you didn't know...
They're doing away with engines and they'll not go back to anything bigger than 4s in their hybrids now. Volvo is pretty much all-in on EVs and EVs are faster, smoother, and quieter than any ICE engine.
@@benjamindoyle668 Yup High output turbo. Loved my 9-5 Aero.
@@benjamindoyle668 2.3 with a K04 snail.
@@benjaminsmith2287 I get it but volvo imo needs to offer a boosted 6 in the upper end trims.
Why does everything they do still look like back in the days.
This is the worst car purchase in my almost 60 years of life. Volvo could car less. electrical/computer system a joke. cant lock the car sometimes. I bought it a year ago for $78,000+ . Flee, I implore you, while you can
Hey just curious, are you still unhappy with your V90? I'm considering getting one. What year is yours? Thank you.
I drove the sedan version of this, the s60. I had to put it on my car trailer for transport. It was my least favorite vehicle I had to transport that week. Everything about it felt cheap. From the cheap starter knob to the cheap gear shifter, it was just not a fun car to be in. Everything felt as if it was made in China. There was far too much plastic everywhere. They tried going for an upscale feel, but failed miserably. Volvo really needs a better direction. It's a good company, but it's run very very poorly. Case in point, this station wagon starts at $60k. Why buy that when there are dozens of options below it?
The S60 is a smaller, entry-level vehicle. The S90 is the sedan counterpart of the V90 in the video...
@@joshh9179 it's the same deal. Same exact setup minus the luxury features. The whole dealership looked exactly the same inside and out. Volvo isn't a product I'd be proud to sell.
@@LrulestheworldM8 Its not the same deal. Learn your cars. The Sedan counter part is the S90 Sedan. Not the S60 Sedan.
"Feels like it is made in China" makes no sense. Some Chinese cars are very well built. Some aren't. It's out of date to say in this day and age that "made in China" equates with cheap. You just didn't like the car because most people that drive any Volvo says it is strong and substantial in feel, not cheep. And the v90 is an expensive car, solidly 70 thousand and many think it's a bargain compared to other European cars.
The s60 is constructed in the USA and sadly, some of them aren't built as well as the Volvos made in Europe and the s90, made in China.
@@javardstanley1521 Correct. But the s60 certainly is not a cheap-feeling car. It's a little bit luxurious than the s90 but still a premium feeling car.
America is a continent and not a country.
