Volvo V90 2017 D5 (ENG) - Test Drive and Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 чер 2024
- Volvo S90 debuted in Detroit in early 2016, soon followed by Volvo V90 in Geneva. Design mimics that of a coupe concept shown in Frankfurt in 2013. Long bonnet, wide grill, headlights with LED lights with what Volvo calls Thor’s Hammer. Long-looking side line with relatively high window line makes V90 seems very long, but at the same time very light. In fact Volvo is about the size of Mercedes-Benz E-Class. Chrome exhaust ending looks business from a distance. You'd think V90 is a sporty car. But it’s a 2 litre diesel.

Keep up the good work my friend
I recently was lucky enough to have one of these as my rental car. It was fantastic, a lively but comfortable drive with enough room for lots of camping gear.
Love the look & style of the new V90. Thank's for the great review.
I absolutely love your reviews. The best in the business!
Marek, excellent review, as always! Love your videos!
your reviews are so good ! keep them coming.
Great review of a cool car... such style and substance :)
lovely review
Very well made, excellent editing, smart and easy feel. The best car reviews out there. Cheers
Thank you.
I think the facelift of this generation will be best car in it's class. After minor corrections VOLVO will hit the jackPot.
JUST Ordered a V90 Inscription D5 AWD, will all optionals in Switzerland the car arrives to 80,000 CHF (77,000 Euro). tested the car, the engine is not so powerful, but comfort, space for passengers, noise reduction and quality of the B&W entertainment are better than Audi A6 and the new MB E class. And I hope they will not make a restyling every 2 years. Clearly in my opinion.
Marco P. If you want more power just chiptune it, 1000 euros to up the hp to 285 and torque to 560Nm, that from 235/480.
Should make it a bit quicker!
Good job, Marek and Volvo ..
I am SO in love of this car. 1 thing i don't understand....why they didn't more spaces to keep the stuff, sunglasses, read/distance glasses, smartphones, cables.... Looks like everything it's "closed".
Yes sir, good review..
You have a very soothing voice
V90 is just perfect. That Fiat on 5:57 is another league but still one of the most beautiful hatchbacks.
Świetnie swobodnie mówisz po angielsku! Przyjemnie się ogląda, dzięki za dobrą robotę!
Thanks a lot for nice review
I don't know where you are buying this V90 but in The Netherlands this D5 is just under €100k
But what an awesome car, I've had the pleasure of test driving a D5 similar to the one in this video, my god what a car. It surpasses all its rivals easily.
For reviews in English I use German prices. I know you guys get taxed like hell in the Netherlands. For 100k you can get a well-equipped XC90 T8 in Poland or Germany.
Great review
Marek is difficult to impress-This car must be exceptional! :-)
Marek, informative, entertaining and with a deadpan sense of humour 👍
And you're right about the door mirrors.. they need moving forward a little bit to be more effective..
Thanks 👍
Really pleased to see you review this and like it, as it's a car I'm considering and I trust your reviews. I'd really be interested to know if the screen seemed any faster than the XC90, as I've heard complaints of it being laggy on the XC90. With the V90 being newer, hopefully it may be using newer faster hardware.
This may well be the safest car on the road. In IIHS small offset tests, this, the XC90 and even the old V70 do so much better than almost all other cars.
I never had any problems with Volvo infotainment. It's iPad responsive/fast. That being said, I also heard as owners start installing more apps on the system, it may get a bit slower. You'd expect a car, where miniaturisation is not the greatest challenge, to have enough computing power to handle a couple of system updates and a few apps, but I guess developers underestimated software expansion.
Just a perfect car.
Great car... I have an S90 D5 AWD 2017, and regarding the consumption info in this video I can say that in a trip from Germany home 1200km I have made an average of 6.6l/100km being quite heavy on the accelerator. Speed was most of the time between 140-180kmh. That is a great result. If you follow your speed limits or a bit more 55kmh city / 110kmh extraurban I have made 5.4l average. These are real life numbers...
Otherwise the B&W is genius (I have a Meridian surround in my Jag XJ) and is better than the Meridian, comfort (I am running it on 18" wheels) is also great. Definitely a better choice than A6 or E class in my opinion...
Raaah, swede estates.Miss the 2012 Saab 9-5 Sportcombi so much, a shame it never made it to mass production....
Volvo is always my first choice, very comfortable.
Such an amazing looking wagon. Shame we have to special order it in the US. Great enjoyable review.
If I could I'd go and buy one right now.
I love the car and I agree a much need facelift. I do like Eco mode and use it a lot.
I had a look at the V90 the other day at my local dealer, because I'm interested in the V90 Cross Country, which will be with them later this month [Jan 2017]. First impression is 'Wow this car is low'. Second impression is how nice the cabin is and the great seat comfort. Third impression 'Oh no! How do I get out of this thing?' The door top frame is so low that I can't get my head out. What are they thinking!! The only car I've previously had that problem with is the current Peugeot 2008. No problem whatsoever with my current Qashqai or CR-V. I so want to like the XC V90, so I hope that the raised ride height helps with exit from it, but I have my doubts. I've put a pre-order in for it, but if I don't fit when it arrives, they know they will have to stock it and retail to someone shorter [and thinner] [and/or younger]
A real hit in Sweden... just now changing in my Volvo V60 into a V90... but the Diesel issie....
.... issue!
Dear Marek, thank you for your another objective review .I wonder if the test car had air suspension or not ?
This one had regular suspension.
Regarding the air suspension. The commercial says ''REAR AIR SUSPENSION''.What does it mean that there is air suspension only rear???I hope i did not understand correctly.Please advise me.
It's possible. Mercedes E-Class has rear air suspension as standard, so possibly Volvo also has this.
In terms of MPG, how efficient the D5 in a V90 compared to a D4? Also, is there much of a difference for ever day use between D4 and D5? I'm after tested numbers rather than official figures
I'm sorry, I don't think I've driven any D4s, and now they are getting rid diesels anyway.
I dont know where did you get that price....In Germany cost same car as yours like 85K+.
And starting price is from 58K

I love mine, best volvo I have ever owned.
Why the Polestar badge? Does it have more output than a standard D5? Do they also alter the suspension tuning?
It's a design package.
Sorry Marek, you're incorrect here. The Polestar badge is because it has an engine SW upgrade, the Polestar upgrade package. The style-kit have nothing to do with the PS badge, it just another option you can take. Cheers!
You are right. I underestimated Volvo here. It's a 1.000 euro (roughly) software update boosting power and torque for D5 engine.
Dave Travels polestar tunes the car from 235 hp to 240 hp and increases the torque from 480 nm to 500 nm i would say waste of money
I really like the V90/S90, but I worry for longevity of an all 4 cylinder line up, and know I'd get frustrated by lack of physical controls in long run.
These engines are around for a couple of years now. I'd be worried about T6, but the rest is not particularly strained. You get used to the tablet pretty quickly. Partly because you stop fiddling with the settings ;)
I like the volvo V90 but only get 25-30 miles per gallon around town .It is a petrol . I do get 40-45 on a long steady run.
wow. it does look nice. the jacked up xc90 of that would be very nice. shame the price wont be
Actually the price of the D4 V90 [the Cross Country] is very competitive indeed. I get a well specified V90 CC well below the price of a similar specification Discovery Sport HSE Lux and within £2500 [more] of a fully loaded Honda CRV automatic.
Thing is I wouldn't class the XC90 in the same class as a Discovery sport HSE. At this price point your right the Honda CRV is too expensive
Remember that we are talking about an updated LR Freelander here. I would certainly class the Volvo V90 CC and it together. They are prime candidates for being my next car. However I do like my current CRV very much, but it is too much money at £38,000 compared with a Volvo at £40500 and the Disco Sport at £42750.
Those prices do include an industry buying group negotiated 10% discount on Volvo and Land Rover, plus free metallic paint in the same deal from Volvo. No discount on the Honda. The LR and Volvo dealer also offer a better price for my old CRV than the Honda dealer by £1000. So price to change comes down to £1500 more for the Volvo than CRV and £3750 more than CRV for the LR HSE Lux with options. CRV out of it this time I'm afraid.
Dream car, I wish I could afford it....
OMG!! THIS THING IS GORGEOUS!!! It's available in the T6 AWD in Canada as base model starting over 60k dollars while the new Audi Allroad starts at 47k.....ouch
Is Volvo in Canada more expensive than Audi/BMW?
The Allroad in NA is an Audi A4 Wagon, which is one size smaller. The A6 Allroad, which is no longer offered in North America, would be comparable. It used to be offered, so maybe it will comeback.
In Europe Volvo slots somewhere between VW and Audi in terms of price, VW usually being the most expensive mass-market brand, and Volvo calling itself premium.
All the more premium brands don't bring their cheaper versions of their cars. They all come loaded for the most part. Have you driven the latest Audi Allroad?
Unfortunately Audi Poland doesn't think UA-cam is a valuable communication channel. I haven't driven an Audi in a long time.
What is the color on this test car? Obviously grey, but is it "Osmium Grey metallic" or "Inscription Electric Silver metallic"? Both look very similar, but I definitely like the color on this test car!
I have no clue. Give me a couple of days, I'll ask the press fleet manager.
Thanks!
Marek Drives Any idea yet?
477 Electric Silver Inscription
Awesome, thank you!
A bit disappointed with luggage space. 560L is small for this segment. It should be at least 600L plus given the size of the car. I think it is partly due to a high boot floor. They must have designed it to accomodate the hybrid battery.
And AWD, yes. It looks much bigger from the outside.
Matthias Oldenburg remember that the VDA-litres in the luggage compartment are measured from the floor and up to the "visibility cover" (just underneath the windows).
this measurement is often misleading.
I have a V70II which is supposed to taket 575L (if i remember correctly) and my brother in law has a passat estate of the same year as my car, and it can load around 600-605l.
But he can not load as much in his passat as i can fit in my V70.
Polish roads look a hell of a lot better than ours in the UK.
This is a good stretch of road I use for filming. But to get there, I have to drive though this:
ua-cam.com/video/8a1KMtRV0AI/v-deo.htmlm53s
After winter there are holes big enough to tear the wheel off.
I am not joking when I say that that stretch of road is standard fare in the UK.
Blimey.
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!
I drove a brand New V90 with 18" wheels at a dealer and found the suspension rather uncomfortable with a significantly higher level of noise than e.g. the previous E Class (Avantgarde). Also the seats are not to my taste. Overall nice looking and a good alternative but I would rather go for an E Class or 5er BMW for their greater refinement and comfort.
Exterior is just beautiful, interior less. Lack of 6-cyl diesel would be a deal breaker for me.
I love the new Volvos. Seems like the Chinese can really build a car people want to buy, unlike Volvo's previous owners and may Saab RIP.
Chinese only gave some money, new Volvos were build by Swedes in Sweden.
It's exactly how it should be. Same with Tata & Jaguar/Land Rover. Manage the finances and let them build a car. That's how takeovers should be. Keep the spirit and brand alive while making the business side work.
It looks much better then Bmw, Audi or Mercedes... they are pretty bord
7,5L not true
Nice car but the price tag on this one is a little to much for me
42.000 euro? In Macedonia start from 65.000 euro.
www.volvocars.com/de/konfigurator#/model
But this prices are in Sweden, right?
Germany.
bonustraka In Sweden it starts at 33000€. Bought my V90 D3 with Volvo On Call, climate package, park assist pilot, park camera, Apple CarPlay and some more for 37000€.
Volvo is a car for old men in Sweden 😂 Trust me, im from sweden...
Awful background music.
Im a swede and im not impressed with the new volvos... Especially now years after launch. The V90 feels booring and only in full R line it looks ok. I miss my old V70.... Also, I prefer RWD...
Well is it a Volvo? Looks more like next gen Ford Mondeo. I choose a E class easy 7 days a week over this car
