I absolutely agree on your second point. As one who selected the XC90 and especially the air suspension because of regularly towing a Caravan, I really do not understand, why the ride height of the aur suspension is not adjustable.
Hi Kristian. I'm intrigued by comments you've made on other videos saying on the AAOS models without thumbwheel, if you dim the dash at night it's too dim by day. I saw a discussion on a forum saying it works properly, bright by day, albeit it needed a reset of the centre display. I've watched a few videos recently of AAOS Volvos, made a point of looking at the dash and saw no thumbwheel. Several of them, instrument brightness was fine by day, car went into a tunnel, instruments dimmed, came out the tunnel, were too dim for a moment, then went to normal brightness. Wondering why you had problems. Thanks.
The good for me is that they didn’t mess too much, with the exterior design in the rear 2/3rds at least. The bad is that they took away the stylistic strength, from what has become an iconic front end, in it’s various iterations. And the ugly is that the front end now looks like a f****** Peugeot.
Do none of the Android based PHEV Volvos have individual druiv modes?! Boy do I feel even better in our choice to just keep our Sensus one. Instead of removing it, can we have more than one customizeble drive mode for each drivers profile please! In town I want Hybrid suspension, Locked in EV mode and absolutely not eco climate. While as soon as the road opens up a bit, the suspension needs to go to Polestar. Its bloomin annoying to change that in sensus already. Have they really "updated" that away and not done anything anout it in the facelift either?
Correct. Can't pick a individual drive mode on any Android based Volvo. Do you find it annoying on your Sensus car? That's quite surprisingly to hear. I'm driving a 2020 S60, and change drive modes several times a day. For me it's a pleasure to use the Drive Mode selector wheel 😎
@@volvo_kristian Thanks for clarifying that. I foolishly thought it was just the selector wheel they had removed and that alone was such a big factor we kept the sensus car and haven't upgraded. I'd love the upgraded drivetrain, but not on the expense of having to fiddle in the touchscreen more. Knowing you can't have an individual drive mode simply would put me off any Volvo PHEV as I want Pure drivetrain setting on most day to day drives, but it's often very wet and humid where I live and I can't stand the eco climate setting you get in Pure drive mode. The car simply streams up with eco climate. I maybe was a bit unclear, I love the drive mode selector wheel! What I was meaning was that if you want to change the setting of the individual drive mode (like firm up the suspension only while leaving everything else the same) you have to dig into the screen menus while driving and I really dislike that. So I would love to have two individual drive modes (the opposite to what VOLVO have done and removed it completely, including the selector wheel). I hope it makes sense.
Hi Kristian. Du må benytte Google translate, om nødvendigt 😊 Du har ret! 30 kWh batteri. 11 kW ladning og kanske CCS 40-50 kW 😊 men stadig 6-7 sæder. Det har Porsche, BMW eller Mercedes-Benz ikke. Også mangler der vist USB-C på 3-sæderække. Lige nu er det svært at vælge mellem XC90 og EX90. Om ændringerne i XC90 havde været bedre, så hadde jeg valgt den flotte XC90 😊
@@askmagnussen8171 Forstår ikke din kommentar.. Hva skal jeg bruke Google translate til, mens jeg filmer? Ja vet de ikke har 7 seter. Det snakket jeg om i min XC90 presentasjon. Men her snakket jeg om de tingene JEG ikke liker. Selv synes jeg XC90 framstår betydelig bedre enn EX90, men prisen er jo en stor faktor her.
@@volvo_kristian Jeg ææææælsker XC90 og EX90 not so much. I Danmark koster XC90 200.000 DKK mere end EX90, men for mig og min famile med 3 barn (drenge) 4, 7 & 10 på ferie og hverdag, så er XC90 bedst for os. Takk for din tid og video 👍🏻😊
The bad for me is that this car is desperately in need of core development and not just a facelift. These core missing features are (1) EV Battery at 25+kWh to drive 100+ km. (2) Four Wheel Steering. (3) LIDAR Hardware. Ideally re-designing the Hybrid drivetrain to become primarily EV motor with ICE suspended to re-charge the battery only like in Chinese cars example given Li Auto. Lastly removing the hard buttons row from the dashboard is an insult to the philosophy of "Safety First". I am now more convinced my XC90 T8 will be replaced with a X5 in the absence of a Li9 coming to the UK by 2028
Yeah wish it got a bigger battery 👍 But why do you say removing the buttons from the dash? They haven't removed anything for the facelift. You still get the same button row, with the wonderful volume wheel 😎

Can try to explain/show this in a upcoming video. Probably in either V60 or V90 video's..
@@volvo_kristian Thanks.
Apple CarPlay wireless now?
Are headlights more pixels now or just update on day time running lights?
Apple CarPlay are standard, but wasn't specified if it was wireless or not. Headlight unit are just redesigned.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts 👍
High Kristian
Just a small comment - the lower bumpers front and back on the Bright and Dark options are different.
Regards,
Peter
@@peterhare2234 No, they are the same. There's a black "decor stripe" on the rear bumper, but it's the same bumper. Like physical part

Too expensive for so little new functions and range, looks the almost the same.

Preach! Loved the new interior and exterior design but the “same” powertrain was a letdown
