- So I drove the S90 T8 Inscription again. I swear they've updated the software because that weird braking sensation is gone. It feels as neutral as the one in the XC60 now.

The mode you talk about in 28:58 exists on the car. You can lock the battery to not use any electricity at all. You can also charge with the petrol engine. Moreover, even with a flat battery you always have full power at red lights because the generator can feed the battery instantly.
Been waiting quite some time for this review. Yay!
Excellent product! Volvo is a company that sell products that they design and build with people in mind :)
Excellent review Bobby...This may be the best buy in this segment, but due to the great depreciation of Volvo cars in Malaysia, I would get a 2nd hand :)
A 2011 Volvo S60 T6 with 3.0 turbo, original price RM348,000 ; 2011 BMW 535i with 3.0 turbo, original price RM598,000 & 2012 BMW 335i with 3.0 turbo, original price RM480,000. Now their resale values as follow: RM99,000 ; RM130,000 ; RM150,000 respectively. So?
Do some check first perhaps?
You deserve more subs for your impressive detailed review especially for malaysian market. Good job
Great video. I enjoy your perspective... nice to get viewpoints from all over the world.
Big fan of your videos Bobby. Out of all the Malaysian car channels, you put out the best quality content!
Actually there is a 'hold' and 'charge' function on hybrid Volvo models if you swipe right on the centre screen. 'hold' will maintain charge for later use and 'charge' uses the engine to recharge the battery (albeit with increased fuel consumption). If i'm not mistaken, the software limitation was for engine based charging. You could always charge more than 30% battery with purely pedal braking.
Thank you for informing this!
For me 6feet cannot sit well at back but there are + also got minus. Thanks for ur revie bobby ang. U still the best
i like your comments to those who don't use their rear view mirror. Now a day many drivers don;t even know what is light indicator mean for or use for.
Volvo brand no doubt in terms of safety features. Nice and great car..... Thanks for good review Bobby... 👍
i've always been a sucker for volvo cars, used to own the xc70 years back and loved it. this one is just another masterpiece they've created other than the latest xc90. volvo has set the benchmark really high this round. keep up the good work! but i read 17.7L/100km on the display? you must have been flooring it everytime u had the chance, haha
Yes we floor them like mad haha
who won't floor it with 407 bhp.
Bobby, thanks for your awesomely review & sharing :)
Perfect car. 👏👏👏👏. Keep up the good work Bobby.👍👍👍
Hi Bobby,
Just to sidetrack a bit. Did you hear of any production shortage on the Xc90 inscription plus ? Apparently, orders till now have been delayed or delivered very slowly.
Hi Bobby. What about engine noise during idling and normal drive. I think S90 a bit noisier than XC90. S90 sound insulation is different compared to XC90.
Bobby, does all these safety features you mentioned in the video included in the new XC 60?
Sorry to veer off topic, but the thing that caught my attention was the mention of BMW Malaysia having brought in a few units of the CBU 540i. Complete with warranty & maintenance package? Any chance of a review of the 540i here?
Ur right about the rear leg room. It is damn roomy but even many reviewers like paultan said its not as spacious as the E or 5. The E is damn cramped for me in the rear and im 6'0.
Yeah.. the new e class is more cramped than even a vw passat.
one question bobby about the slot to put our hand on the door. Does it goes through or you can put phone over there? Because the old XC60 goes through which kinda annoys my father haha.
Bro apologies ... i was calling up everyone cos the car isnt with me. It's a pass through so your phone cannot put there. But the center console fits our phones perfectly. Sorry for the late reply cos everybody was caughtoff guard when i asked them ... so finally i have the answer. It's a pass through.
Bobby Ang Thank you so much bobby!!
Drive safe but fast... I love it...
You can have the car not use the battery by pressing the battery hold button on the first screen of the infotainment center.
Bobby what's the colour of this car?
Where did you review?, Looks serene!
you forgot to share about Lane Keeping Assist and other electronics stuff bro.
What a fun job u have Bobby! Wonder if Malaysia have any news regarding the long wheelbase version of S90 arrival?
Only for china market
Ian Polo thought the new 90 series globally are all long wheelbase now?
Sj Park No. Only US and China have long wheelbase S90. Starting from late 2017, US volvo S90 has been imported from China and hence the longer wheelbase. Read that eventually, S90 production will be moved to China from Sweden, and speculate that Aseans S90 might be source from China too.
bobby, is tis same comfortable as xc90 T8 Ins?
xc90 is more comfortable overall.
@@BobbyAngmalaysia thx, would u recommend xc 90 over land cruiser?
The gloss piano black plastic in this car is great dust attractor.. lots of thumbprint and dust visible.. it will be better if they reduce the black gloss plastic..
Piano black used to be an expensive material made of wood (where the name came from) and wood doesnt have static, hence wont attract dust (my new video on aston martin dbs superleggera mentioned this). But because car makers of normal premium cars use plastics instead, no choice. Haha. But at least volvo's is minimal, the merc c class entire centre panel was piano black last time hahaha ...
@@BobbyAngmalaysia I see.. yes for c200.. unless c300. I surrendered to those glossy piano black plastic... Thanks for your great effort. Loves your reviews due to your "yim-jim-ness" but this time around kinda feels like you have extra love for Volvo. Thx
is it your mic or the car is actually extremely quiet
It's his mic. This guy is a cheapskate when it comes to audio stuff even today.😂
Hydrogen hybrid electric?
Hey there Bobby! Quality reviews as usual. My dad is currently planning to buy a 2016 Mercedes E250 Exclusive (CBU) which is price at RM425,888 when it first launched. Now they are letting go that E250 for RM328,888, the mileage is 6k , do you think it's a good deal? Your opinion sure helps a lot !
28:00 Yes there is, battery hold mode
Hybrid cars may save fuel, but the manufacturing of these batteries also pollutive
i dont know man , regarding volvos of the past,they jus dont last much long,interior always looks top notch when new bt after 5-7 yrs of ownership , it jus disolves n melts , its horrible,n they feel soggy...and no ,NOT all cars are like that....and all current volvos have their engine all based on new tech and new architecture,yes u do have warrenty but new techs in volvo u need alot of faith to have , ownership is not like reviewing them for few days or a month....im talking from personal experience with previous xc90 n v70....i dont mind the high cost of ownership bcos in this class is not relevant,bt i damn mind reliability....and so far its unknown no matter how polished the product is....the 5 series/elass u know u can have it for 10 yrs n still be strong , and their brands specialist are everywhere , probably more than 7-11 outlets....so that itself is a big peace of mind interms of ownership...i will follow the s90 in 1-2 yrs time n raid the forums n see...
nabill arif that's the same thinking I am having now. Heart wants to get a Volvo, but so little service centers around, and heard bad experiences like yours from 2 people. I agree with you, the new Volvo, looks and have features I will want ...
Leather wrinkle faster than equivalent bmw but bmw plastics (door handles) less durable than Volvo .
Hi
Would you recommend this or 530i?
The 530i drives and rides slightly better when you are pounding back roads. But this car is better in all other aspects. Especially price and spec and safety etc
You're wrong about Perodua man! They're the fastest car currently on sale 😂
i like bmw better because it cost RM4 per charges for the 330e to full charge..so when it able to charge itself it save cost..
about rm4...
17.7l/100 km 😏😏😏 what were you doing Bobby 🙄🙄
Tekan gao gao
Just a re badge of of Geely
Bobby Ang i not saying they ( Volvo) cars are bad even monkeys do a little grooming here n there but how rosy u may paint a nice pic its still Geely underneath the same company who try copy Rolls Royce
And the same Geely who bought part of your national car firm who obviously who real intention is not to make proton better but maje Geely better
Geely had nothing to do with making Volvo's new cars. All Geely did is gave the brand money and told them to do whatever they want. So the Swedes went crazy and made something wonderful. Jaguar and Landrover/Range rover is bought by Tata; an indian company. So in your statement, you are stating that all their cars is just Tata underneath?
Peter Ambrose please don't kid yourself. Do u even know that Geely is assembling most model of the Volvo cars in their factory in China and sending out overseas. Back to my point its still Geely undeeneath even though its Volvo and when Geely owns volvo u know Geely will make full use of its Volvo technology to make a name for its car that is the reason why they bought Proton solely to promote their brand
Hello?.. Only the S90 LWB is assembled in china. All the others are imported from sweden. Im stopping my argument here because i dont want to waste time arguing with a braindead car guy. Good Day!
Volvo still has a lot to catch up in terms of their design. From side, the chrome strip is hideous. Again from side view, the rear lights look extremely old fashioned. Maybe how the lights are slanted downwards. Interior wise, the driver’s and passenger’s armrests just look too bulky, again very old fashioned. The entertainment system, it’s like putting a super large screen to cover up the entire panel space. Looks cheap and probably the designers are too lazy to come out with something tasteful. Overall the car is same old Volvo, even how much effort they put into it, the first glance would be really nice due to it being new but it will get boring and outdated really really quick. Whatever power output it may have, a Volvo can never compete with a BMW in terms of driving pleasure. Why BMWs and Rolls Royces are able to maintain its interior design for ages (maybe some minor changes) is because their design is pleasing and functional. Mercedes are the worse of the lot by redesigning their gear shift next to the steering wheel. A total disaster. I will never buy a Mercedes unless they redesign to the regular gear shift location.
first time im hearing someone say this LOL
everyone one there and even jeremy clarkson said this is one of the best looking cars and the interior is one of the best in the market
