Super video, as always! The car really suits you - but I totally agree with the "ugly" things. The plastic parts painted would just make such a difference. Additionally the Heico springs for a better coefficient and it would be as close as possible to the perfect car - in my opinion.

Your passion shines Kristian. Thanks for a walk through of this edition. I drove it myself a few months ago, before deciding on a specific white C40 MY24 I had my eyes on. The thing with black for me is that I've owned a black car the last 10 years and dirt is very visible on black paint, in my experience. I don't have a garage, so even when I washed my car, it was already showing signs of being dirty after a few hours - even when it's not raining. I drive a white car now, and people say white is sensitive to dirt, but if you ask me; NOT as sensitive as black. 😊

The XC90 B5 and B6 for the American market. Texas alone is larger than most European countries. Traveling from Houston to Dallas will use up a charge and there are few places to change up when you get there.

I ordered the EX90 at launch in 2022. Latest news is that my car is postponed to 2025. I also do not like the minimalistic style, the interior materials and so on. I am not really a fan of the charging shenanigans either. Most likely I will cancel the order. Currently I have a full spec XC90 T8 that I bought new in 2016 which I am very happy with. I am reluctant to change it into something I do not really like. I might keep it for another 3-5 years and then consider again to go electric. If I were forced to get a new car right now I would probably buy a second hand XC90 T8 with the larger battery and fuel tank. Buying a brand new XC90 is just a bit to expensive. It is a shame the the taxes on the hybrids are so aggressive considering that the larger battery covers the daily driving for most people.

Good question. Would say it highly depends what market your in. If we think Plug-In Hybrid then I would definitely recommend MY22.5 or newer to get the updated battery 🔋 If your into diesel/petrol/mild hybrid there's no major preferences either way.. Unless your prefer Volvo's previous Sensus system vs the latest Android Automotive. The EX60 are still like 2 years away, so could definitely recommend a used XC60 while waiting.

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 😎
@ojeskog
@ojeskog 5 күн бұрын
@@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.

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

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.
