@@mho0 the good reason I'm willing to bet on is "money". Its way cheaper to make them manual. As for safety its pretty obvious, imo. You're replacing a manual lever with a motor. Both are behind an airbag, regardless.
@@cptmiche I cannot proof you would be wrong :). I found this somewhere and so far I have believed it: "The manual adjustment is due to safety design.

The manual column completely snaps and drops under, and out of harms way." That also indicates it is not only about airbag.

actually, VOLVO is owned by CHINA and S90 premium sedans, built at its Daqing plant in China. so its not a SWEEDISH VEHICLE, THIS LOOKS LIKE A KIA CADENZA EXTERIOR.
Volvo is not owned by China since Geely is not a state owned company. Do you consider Jaguar-Land Rover cars to be Indian since they're owned by Tata Motors of India? Are Mini-Cooper's and Rolls-Royce considered German since BMW bought them? I guess Bentley and Lamborghini are now also German since they're owned the Volkswagen Auto Group.

Beautiful car...I owned a 2017 version and it was a POS. Infotainment lags a lot and you have to go through the screen for seat heater and heated steering wheel. The manual tilt and telescoping wheel is more at home in a entry level Ford than a $65K luxury car. Reliability is also an issue with Volvos in general. Also, the twin charged engine is loud and pretty harsh when compared to 6 cylinder equivalents.
The BW sound system is amazing and the car looks fantastic. Overall, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone...but I understand why people would risk it.
Oh god my grandmother has a Xc90. My dad is coming out of a 2019 Audi A8, and he’s thinking about one of the plug in hybrid S90’s. Hopefully it’s reliable.
Nice car but they will only sell like 8 units
Are you going to do a review of the Defender 90??
24:41 i think jag xf is not being discontinued
actually, VOLVO is owned by CHINA and S90 premium sedans, built at its Daqing plant in China. so its not a SWEEDISH VEHICLE, THIS LOOKS LIKE A KIA CADENZA EXTERIOR.
Volvo is not owned by China since Geely is not a state owned company. Do you consider Jaguar-Land Rover cars to be Indian since they're owned by Tata Motors of India? Are Mini-Cooper's and Rolls-Royce considered German since BMW bought them? I guess Bentley and Lamborghini are now also German since they're owned the Volkswagen Auto Group. Geely Motors owns a significant amount of shares in Daimler Motors which is Mercedes parent company so by your logic, Mercedes are now Chinese cars.
@@JewelsWinnfield isn’t it funny how this argument only comes up when a non-European company owns a European company? Or assembled somewhere else too? It’s almost like their trying to say something...
Idiot
your iPhone is made in China too
@@JewelsWinnfield what wrong is to call a car “Chinese”, when the car is owned by Chinese company and this model is produced only on Chinese factory? When Jaguar will be produced ONLY on Indian factory I will call it Indian Car.
Please do a review for the 2022
What’s a luxury Shedan lol
This one is the best looking sedan.
No 4k come on dude 👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿
12:51 It looks like the right rear passenger has more controls to do other things.
You're definitely right on that, they have nearly 4+ or more buttons on their door versus the driverside-rear. I'm surprised he skipped providing the proper information about the full vehicle...I think he's loosing his touch.
