I love all your vids, but the Volvo and Subaru vids are my faves! I have an S90 with the lounge package, never see it reviewed, so this one really makes me happy! Thanks as always!
A friend of mine has one of these in Europe and it's an amazing car. I love the AMBER turn indicators on the rear end and wish Volvo would just leave them alone on their US models.
Makes a good secondary backup vehicle to a SUV. Alone at the price particularly without a power steering wheel a SUV would be a more practical choice.🤷🏼
Where did you get this from? Have you ever heard of a Mercedes, Saab, Audi, and others where the steering column is designed to collapse and move out of the way?
@@MercOne Its a fact, a manual steering column can be moved completely out of the way in the event of a crash, a powered one cannot. Also, SAAB dont exist as a car company so hardly relevant!
@@MercOne from one of the many safety videos here posted by Volvo. I was curious as to why since I own a Volvo. Search is your friend, go find some and watch. Seeing how many ridiculous posts you’ve made here, you apparently have the time. Volvo’s safety engineers determined that in a frontal crash that even after collapsing it’s harder to move/manipulate a powered steering column due to the motor and wiring harnesses. For a company focused on and researches post crash vehicles, it makes sense. Haha, Saab who went bankrupt in 2011 and hasn’t made a car in a decade, that Saab? Audi, you mean the luxury arm of VAG? I pretty sure our Q5, that’s on my channel, is an Audi. MB, who makes that cute CLK cabriolet of yours? Yes I know them all. I appreciate a good laugh from someone who posts without taking a moment to do research on a topic, maybe check a users channel, and has your tone in a reply. Thanks for the laugh today MercOne and to everyone else don’t feed the troll.
@@Reihenmotor5 The only laugh is at that outdated nonsense you're talking about. A video from Volvo doesn't mean that their approach is the only one that is correct. Is it that you don't understand what the word collapse means? Meaning you don't have to move the steering column after a crash because it is designed to deform and move out of the way during the crash. Every other brand in the luxury space has been doing this for years and they're able to offer a steering column that adjust for reach and as well as rake. Saab going belly up has nothing do with their safety engineering which was some of the best around at the time. Again try following you own advice and doing some research before you post. Yeah Audi, what does being own by VAG have to do with their safety engineering? You mean the CLK cabriolet that I had like 15 years ago? You don't seem to know much of anything, doesn't matter what your channel is. UA-cam is not known for it's abundance of knowledgeable car channels or people. Hence you. Try again, and research other brands before you post.
@@ALFOONUS Nope, it isn't factual. Depends on the severity of the crash and that is why every car maker that knows anything about safety designs the steering column to collapse during a crash. Saab was a pioneer in safely and a lot of it came from the aviation industry. Doesn't matter if they're around or not, they addressed the steering column issue years ago when they were in business is my point. Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Acura and other all do a collapsible column today. Try again.
We owned four Volvos back in the day, and they were insanely reliable and easily lasted over 200k miles. Maintenance and repairs were incredibly easy. With the fussy tech in today's Volvos, I would be severely disappointed in their long-term reliability and longevity. That said, this is a gorgeous car. By modern design standards, it's understated and classy.
The S90 it's playing a different game but it’s definitely a great option. Love the refined interior and materials. The seats are a 5-star comfortable experience and could be more appealing than a 5 Series. It looks better too IMO.
The center console in this car appears to be smaller than what is typically expected in a luxury vehicle. In comparison, my GMC SUV has a considerably larger center console that can accommodate a significant amount of items.
I would take the Wool Blend seat option!! 🐑🤪 Sculpted contour seats with exclusive Tailored Wool Blend upholstery in a leather-free Charcoal interior with black headliner, stylish decor and handcrafted crystal gear selector knob for an elegant, Scandinavian ambiance.
This has always been an interesting choice. By pretty much every metric, it's not really competitive to a E-class or 5-series (especially now that those are both a generation newer). So it becomes an emotional, alternative option. Except, unlike other emotional options, say a Jaguar or Alfa Romeo, this one is actually more plain and boring than the norm. What's left is, well - a tough sell. But I do really like it. And I'd honestly probably feel more like myself in one of these - a bit more understated and classy - than in a BMW or Benz, which I'm not sure I could really take myself seriously in.
Compared to the (last generation, which is more comparable) 5 series this has much better suspension, better interior quality (the leather in the 5 series is really bad) and just outright drives better.
@@rasmusansin3273 Says no one that has ever driven either. What nonsense. A Volvo only drives better if you're a old person who really wanted a Buick or Toyota. To anyone that actually drives a car, a Volvo ain't nothing. Never has been compared to a BMW.
Very nice scandinavian compact suv style design focus on comfort and its top-notch safety features are admired, with many people enjoying its luxurious and calm ride. But while it's not as sporty as a BMW, its refined interior, technology and simple elegance make it appealing to those looking for a quieter luxury option
This is a big car. It looks like an elongated S60 which isn’t a bad thing because that car is nice. Volvo is really dedicated to this design and for its age it doesn’t look bad at all. Volvo is quite underrated when you compare it to the Germans, i think they do interiors better than the Germans. It’s quite timeless in terms of quality and interior layout and finish.
Other than the seats and the sheer size there is no reason to buy this over any of the Germans. It gets beats badly in nearly every way on either size class 5 or 7-Series. Doesn’t hold a candle to a 7-Series.
@@rahimi4762Total BS. Uh just because it sells poorly doesn’t mean it’s exclusive. No one wants it. It’s 4-cylinder. Doesn’t mean squat in this class of car and it being the only engine makes the car a joke. Try again.
Yall just going to ignore those headrests preventing a relaxed position? We just going to accept driving with our chins pushed into our chest these days?
The proportions look cartoonishly long and hilarious, which is fitting with the demographic of this car. You know, people trying to compensate for their other inadequacies.
@@davis6123 These "Volvos" are trash with their 4 cylinder turbo engines. Straight up trash. The proportions look hilariously bad to me. Eye of the beholder and whatnot. Certain cars make me have illogical and emotional reactions and this one is mine.
Until the engine (yes, that four cylinder) starts burning oil at 60K and Volvo tells you, "Sorry, not sorry, that will be $8,000 please." Utter garbage.
@@DailyJourneys386 I had maintained mine to perfection. Ring defect that was widely known and they wouldn't budge an inch. Never again, and I will tell everyone and anyone who listens to never buy one.
It’s Volvo’s flagship sedan, but doesn’t necessarily compete head to head with the executive sedan segment. For one, it is much less expensive than the competition you mentioned (MSRP is 60k vs 80k+). As such, it offers less high tech and luxury features than some of the competition. It’s more in line with the midsize sedan class in these ways. It’s still a very nice offering with nice features, but not on the same level as those competitors in particular. It’s a really nice competitor on the base end compared to a 5 series, but compared to the executive sedan segment it’s no where near it. Take a look at some of the customization options, displays, and massaging seats in those models.
@MattCC16Gaming Price and features is subjective, not all offerings offer ALL of the exact same features.the Genesis G90 doesn't cost nearly as much as a S-Class or 7-Series and offers an assortment of tech and features standard that the others either don't offer or is part of options packages you have to add on but they're all full-size flagship luxury saloons. The 5-Series clearly competes with the Audi A6, Merc E300, Cadillac CT5, and Genesis G80, all Mid-size Luxury sedans. The Volvo S60, clearly a compact luxury sedan competes with the Merc C300, Audi A4, BMW 3-Series, Lexus IS, Cadillac CT4, and Genesis G70. The Acura TLX also slots there even though it's closer in size to the mid-size offerings its slotted to compete with the compacts. Those are their respective vehicle classes. They're like-size based classification in the lineup of vehicles. The S90 while lagging terribly when it comes what all the competition is doing it has always been classified and compared with full-sizes flagships.

Volvo doesn’t provide power telescoping steering column for safety reasons. In the event of an accident the steering column can still be manipulated.

Simply elegant! ANd I love the exterior and interior colors.
I like how the engine doesn’t sound like a typical 4 cylinder. It sounds appropriate, giving the that vehicle it is.

I am your daily viewer. Love your style and way you talk about the specs. Much LOVE from Nepal. 😊❤
Thanks a ton!
The center console in this car appears to be smaller than what is typically expected in a luxury vehicle. In comparison, my GMC SUV has a considerably larger center console that can accommodate a significant amount of items.
One of the reasons why I never purchased Volvos
Their center consoles were always so ugly, and hasn't really changed over the years.
Well done as usual keep it up!!!

I fell in love with this car until Savage-Geese test drove it and the engine smoked. That was enough for me.
Smokin'! Unless they were doing hot laps at Laguna Seca that would scare me too.
Love your car video ❤❤❤❤❤

Yes. Olio seats are amazing
Great review & this is the only car I will buy.
Excellent review as always!
Thanks again!
Traded my 2017 S90 in for a 22 Genesis G70. I miss it everyday 😅 but the resale and reliability had me worried, so I jumped ship.
Volvo said that they're discontinuing the S60 in favor of the S90. The new ES90 is set to reveal in March 2025 in Sweden.
The S60 will come back electric
@@rahimi4762 I thought they’re discontinuing it? Also Volvo said they’re no longer going fully electric by 2030

I'm surprised with the speed.
Compared to the new one sure, the old one, not a chance XD
I'll take this over a 7 series
A beautiful car. But not relevant in this SUV crazy world
I would prefer this much more if it wasn't the long wheelbase version made in China.
Are we in 2015? What is this infotainment...
Take a look at the upcoming ES90. This used to be the best infotainment
No issue with the IFE
I like it but the exterior is starting to look a little dated
Old design, sh…. 4 cyl engine, unreliable, but agree on seat comfort/ best, withexception 7 series/ and uniquness factor
Sedans are officially a dead category in automobiles. Certainly a nice alternative to an SUV but don't tell the market that.
Other than the seats and the sheer size there is no reason to buy this over any of the Germans. It gets beats badly in nearly every way on either size class 5 or 7-Series. Doesn’t hold a candle to a 7-Series.

I think you should drive one. The 5 series is seriously overrated.
Yall just going to ignore those headrests preventing a relaxed position? We just going to accept driving with our chins pushed into our chest these days?
The headrests are angled that way to cradle your head, minimizing whiplash, in case of a rear ender.
