- The Volvo S90 is a Swedish saloon that promises a luxurious experience different to that of established rivals such as the Jaguar XF, Mercedes E-Class and Audi A6? As is traditional, it offers countless safety features, and class-leading test results, but how does this impact the driving experience? Whilst offering a comfortable ride on long journeys, can it also be sporty? Can it pass the fabled carwow flick test? Find out all my thoughts and more in this in-depth review of the Volvo S90.

Of course the touchscreen gets covered in sticky when you use marmalade same time.
MS It's Marmite which bizarrely went up in price by 28% today!!!

Had this car for 3 months now! Absolute dream to drive, so comfy and relaxing but got the power if you need it! So luxurious as well, never loved a car more.
Why do all car testers think we want a car that drives and handles like a f1 car
Cuz they know us well!
Why not?
Absolutely agree with you! A plush, comfy ride ranks much higher in my books.
I am looking at s90 vs60 t5 but d4 s90 not sure which
I love the redesign Volvo has done. They’ve taken their previous style, and made it sharper and more aggressive without changing too much of the Volvo DNA, except the interior which is a giant improvement.
WOW! That Volvo looks amazing!
It's a nice comfortable family car. It's safe and has a great ride. Clearly not designed to be as sporty as a Mercedes or BMW rival. Sounds like Volvo did a great job to me. I never realised they gave so much as standard either.
R Design version is sporty
@@geoffdundee from body yes.
@@ianhuds2206 BMW and Mercedes Benz cars are so common and basic especially in the UK. People will gloss over them unless they are an AMG or proper M badged car. The S90 is unique in that regard and perfect for someone desiring exclusivity.
@SwedenCam yep all true. German cars are highly sophisticated but require so much maintenance and have been over engineered, its beyond a joke. Japanese cars and Volvo are solid cars that can take a beating and keep moving forward.
Volvo cars can be expensive though and if they’re mistreated or a bad egg, then be prepared to have to go to specialists rather than your average garage to get them properly sorted, at least in the UK. Can be expensive to put right and repair because support isn’t as common as German cars.
@SwedenCam Japanese cars are pretty good. Easy to work on, not over-engineered to an inch of their life like German cars. Obviously I can only comment on cars in the UK and LHD models.
All the German cars like BMW, Audi and VW will struggle when it comes to knowledge. See it in the UK here all the time. You know more about the cars then the people selling them! But to be fair this can be said across all of the dealerships we have in the country for all brands. Mechanically speaking experiences vary. Some are good and decent and a lot are rubbish that use third party parts the same that independent garages use.
God, it looks amazing, totally love it.
Matheus Carvalho I don't even like sedans and I think this is gorgeous.

acchaladka What you prefer fat SUV's instead?
Hatches baby, powah powah zoom zoom. Would love a Polestar hatch of some kind.
acchaladka You can order any volvo with polestar upgrades
The fact that it can drive itself partially as standard is amazing
Mat Watson is one of the best car reviewers I've seen.
no
True , but I like Doug DeMuro more
@@imnithinpaul05 THIS IS QUIRKS AND FEATURES 😂
@@imnithinpaul05 I doo like his reviews it's like I like both of their reviews anyways they both have different accents Doug American and mat german
Yeah Doug IS dope
Nice big car, very elegant inside.
TestAutomobila Tako je Zlajo, svaka ti Njegoseva !!!
Made by China je ovo Zlatko nije ti ovo Nemac :D
@@jdm3779 dont know what you said means but its not actually made in china its assembled in china the parts are from sweden and japan
@@Jonathan-gl6iv I know it. Volvo is good car. China is now world super-power. I love and like China how country and products who coming from all yellow race. All techology cooming from China & Asia. Parts and components for all car brands coming from worldwide autoindustry factories.. In my country Macedonia, are produced parts (cablles & small windows) for Audi, VW, Skoda (VAG) and Mercedes. Soon will be produced parts for Toyota and maybe Honda, Kia and Hyundai.
Apparently owners rave of comfort as well
I love this car
One of the best cars ive ever driven
Drive more cars... Lol
This piece of shit is made in China. No way its a good drive.
GongoLongo that’s got to be one of the dumbest comments I’ve ever read. It’s still a Volvo it’s only assembled on China. More than half the shit you own is probably made in China. Again, idiotic comment from you.
philip kemp bell I’ve driven plenty. S90 is very good.
Hyundai sonato copied the back design
I f*cking love that back ! And I hate marmite lol
Baptiste DL best looking rear
I love the back too, but the front just looks like an audi with those headlights.
it looks horrible and hidoous IMO
***** so anybody who has a different opinion than you is a hater?!?! lol, look at the wagon version of this (the Volvo s90) and tell me the volvo in this video looks better than the s90 wagon tail lights. The wagon tail lights look stunning and gorgeous, what a real Volvo should look like........ this Volvo (the video one) looks like they spent so much time on the front but forgot about the back and rushed it.
This is an image of the s90. (Tail lights)
static.autoblog.nl/images/wp2016/volv-v90-nieuw.jpg
Tell me which one looks better, the s90 wagon or sedan (tail lights in particular)? Which one looks more like a real volvo? Be honest!
***** ya but which one is better, don't you think the wagon tail lights look better than the sedan's tail lights?
IKEA brochure in the boot LOL
Eww Mat, you were basically rubbing the nutella and marmalade on the dashboard when you did the soft touch material test.
Marmite*
Glad I was able to find you again! Love you vids!
Never been so excited to watch a review about Volvos!
yesterday I 8 a whole medium sized jar of Nutella with warm milk, I feel fantastic, I feel great and I'm never eating Nutella again!
well, that was anti-climatic
John Kyon .......until next week.
you cant say Volvo aren't trying. This is a great car, well priced, comfortable, smooth, futuristic and safe. Well done Volvo. I am very tempted to go back to Volvo from my current German competitor.
I love the look of the S90, elegant, sleek and practical! I’d love one!
Ure sarcasm is always appreciated most other channel reviews are straightforward as if they are on 9 - 5 jobs
Matt's analogies are on point in every video
Never thought it would look so good in white!
I love it. I really do. The new Geely-era Volvos are effing brilliant. The only thing I DON'T love about the XC90, S90 and V90 is the fact that those gigantic bonnets look like they house longitudinally mounted V8s, but in fact only contain a tiny 2.0l turbo four pot. Most of the bonnet is left empty, apparently for a safer crumple zone. I really wish Volvo uses this brand new flexible platform to make a compact crossover or hatchback. Or go bonkers like Tesla and make a AWD electric super saloon with an enormous boot and 'frunk'.
"Maybe not quite as easy to use on the move as a swivel system you get in one of the German rivals.." xD Matt, please. Just say it already.
Good news, they just came out with a compact SUV, the XC40, a couple years back
That cubby space in the back is where the rear AC controller would sit when the car is equipped with 4-zone AC. Also, the Nappa leather seats come ventilated as well. I think these are the nappa contour seats.
Awesome. Please show us more of the driver assistance systems in the cars that have them.
the centre console from the new e -class is fully made of plastics...just 4 the record....
well, if you don't like the rear end of this car, you can always get the V90 which is a modern masterpiece
Henry Rahardja oor new xc60
Or v60 which looks better than the v90
Your camera and camera man both are truly professional.
it does look great
@4:05 IKEA magazine. Just lovely 😂😂😂
He finally reviewed it!!
Great review!
I love this car, much better than its rivals
Great review Mat !!! Did you fix your 911's roof ???
I've never EVER had a cup in the car or a bottle in the side door. Yet cup holders and side door compartment seems to be the most important features in many car reviews. Forget about everything else, it has FIVE cup holders! Jiha.
So why is it okay to use this touch screen while driving, but not your phone? I'm not advocating phone usage while driving, far from it, this just seems a bit of a distraction, perhaps more so than your phone.
You do not need to use a touch screen while driving. It's not possible to write or read SMS while driving. AC, navigation, a telephone can be used with voice.
Because it's a stupid law. In Sweden they've actually expanded it to prohibit any use of electronic device while driving. Probably were thinking of Ipads and the sorts but what about the touch screens! From now on almost every new car owner will become a criminal! Ha, ha, politicians...
The S90 has a talk button on the steering wheel that allows the driver to accomplish most tasks WITHOUT touching the center screen. Reviewers usually fail to point this out.
Its hard to make out the car's interior outlines because of the full-black.
Great video Mat i have been your fan since carbuyer , would you consider making a review about the new audi A7? I've seen your carbuyer and auto express videos but i feel like you havent really gone through the options and full deapth of the car. Keep up the good work cheers from Finland
Finally a gr8 looking car
I like how did made a review but than has sub reviews on the same year and model car super cool!!!
Your review helped me choose! I've had it for about 2 months now, and i absolutely love it...inside and out! And it drives like a dream
Hi, do you still have the car? If so, are you still happy with it?
I just purchased s90 ‘18, and I love it. Rides so smooth
Hey, looking to buy s90 as an upgrade to my mazda 6. Is it worth it? How reliable is s90 in your opinion
If you can't afford a BMW 7er, Mercedes S Class or Audi A8, this is a great option, it won't have the ventilated or reclining rear seats but Volvo will eventually come out with a hybrid and Excellence as well to compete better with the German full size executives. So this is currently worth the price...
FUGL_S60 There is a hybrid version of this car
The T6 has optional ventilated seats and yes there is a hybrid version.
I'd rather buy a Volvo than be another mindless BMW normie
I can afford all but I’d rather buy the S90 even if it did cost as much as the S Class anyway
best car review channel on UA-cam
Hahah that pronunciation of "mjölnir" sounded more like moonair😂 gr8 vid tho!
As far as I can tell, that rear seat cubby is where the display for the rear seat climate control panel goes. I've yet to see on here in Canada without it, but we don't get the D4. Only the T6 and T8.
That's one nice place to be when roads are so stressful. amazing
That last 'bad point' is actually a good point in my opinion haha very nice car
Be interested to know what driving, or honing, you have done when you check the MPG.
mat is a legend
The pull from that seat belt tightening feature is awesome, seems strong enough. Lol...
Doesnt the review usually end with shortlist, buy, avoid, consider?
Man i love thos rims. Size is on point for looks and comfort plus they're nicely designed too. If I'm in the market for an S90 i'd want those.
Seen one parked here in my neighbourhood about half an hour ago, quite handsome.
Carwow - what camera do you use for the internal wide angle shots whilst driving?
hey Mat its gone be really helpful when you use dose app for noise (db) how quite its really evry cars you make a review or tell us...
Wow that volvo looks amazing
mat please help me out. which ine to pick 2017 e class or 5 series or volvo s90
Awesome car.. n best review ever!
Mat Watson gotta be the best car reviewer bar none
The way he pronounced "mjölnir"... fantastic
Can somebody remind why I recognize the background music starting @ 6:22? It's right at the tip of my tongue. Who is the musician?
Thank you for that lovely review. Really enjoyable. Gonna buy it - since I like the it's a bit Volvo... after a 650 from BMW that was just strong on a straight line and sporty on the paper.
This guy always good 👍👏👌 from Kenya 🇰🇪
£30,000 for a car in this segment is crazy. I have driven a Volvo last year and one thing that experience taught me with cars was to to never judge a car by the brand name. I drove the V40 and it was one of the most refined and comfortable cars I have driven.
The product placement is perfect, just like the car!
I would love an S90, Great Car!!!
Bought 2019 S90 inscription d4 last month couldn’t be more happier comfortable relaxing luxury comes with tons of specs front and rear seats heating massage feature front seats head up display Harmon Larson sound system adaptive led cornering lights reverse camera Apple car play android auto too many features to list been buying BMW’s for over 15 years first time ever a Volvo and I am in love with it highly recommended !
Love the Swedish seats!
i got this car new with diamondbrushed 19 inch alloys , think its kind a harsh on bumps , will this change if i put it on 17 s ? thanks in advance
It looks bloody fantastic.
I have a 2018 momenton T6 I love it
Matt you do the best jokes about cars and spreads ahahah
I hired this car and went on a long journey on the motor way with my wife I have to admit I've owned a BMW m sport and drove a Mercedes as well but this car was amazing seriously the cornering is really good and the digital aspect is really good but driving and using it can be a pain but you get use to it
i didn't know it was possible to fall in love with a car, but i think i have :)
Hi Matt do you have a review for the new jaguar f pace?
This car looks like a mix of every saloon there is
Love Volvo S90
Beautiful car.
Saw one on the road today and it looked goood. Never really noticed them Before today

uploaded: 2016
Any T8 reviews coming up?
great car for many reasons love mine
Can you guys do s class coupe?
Its like the designer spent all his time creating the front and ran out of time for the back
Or spent too much on the back, but i think it looks good
New ads show the car at night, and the rear lighting has a great look - a step apart from the crowd.
Not nearly as little as the time spent on rear of the coupé Mercedes', or the Audi A7! lol
I LITERALLY GOT MY SCREEN SCRATCHED IN ORDER TO KILL THAT FLY ON MY SCREEN !!!!
Not really the back is unique, designer could have been really boring and made it look like a generic german coupe rear
Have they improved the poor turning circle?
Our 12 mth old v40 has a very very poor turning circle
It's a Volvo - it's Swedish. It's designed to work and be comfortable. That's why it's not as sporty as some other cars yet it is one of the safest cars on the road. Hard to say this coming from a Finn but it's actually a good car.
I’m a Finn and absolutely nothing hard for me here. Volvo is amazing and so is Sweden.
Love this car.
Please do a review of the new Tesla Model S! Thanks
Mat plz replie do a review on the new Skokie vishion s
Does anybody know if the single dashboard shows somewhere RPM? I do not see it here.
Thor´s hammer was called Mjölnir, not nunam or whatever you said :D great video as always, Matt.
6:56 Sweden: VOLVO FOR LIFE !
Not even a Jaguar XF comes close to the sheer beauty of the S90
Love the car not the rear but I bought 1 today and I love it
You should do a review on the 455Hp version now
the video was good but i'm overly sure thats the gadget shows music in some parts lol
I like the back end too
I like it when he closes it with should you consider, shortlist... Also, Matt would be great for Top Gear.
Why no front parking sensors as standard??? You get the back but not the front ?
