The audio in this video was recorded with in-ear binaural microphones. If you wear headphones, your mind won't be blown, but it will go, "woah."

Here on TheTopher, I'm known for putting a camera on my face and driving cars. Whether it's about any of my personal cars or reviews on weekly test vehicles, the goal is to give you an idea of what a certain car is like to drive or live with. Most of my videos are filmed in POV, with my clothes on, and (for like the 5th time) with in-ear binaural audio. Which, if I haven't made it clear yet, is why you should wear headphones. Because of the whole "woah" factor. It's there, trust me. Try it, you'll see! Or don't. As long as you whitelist me on your adblocker I'm okay with whatever you do or don't do with regards to headphone usage. That is all. Oh and I guess you should also probably subscribe. Why are you still reading this, you should be watching the video. With headphones! Hah, had to sneak that in there one more time. Later!

Hey guys, regarding the lack of chimes/turn signals in this video - I'm not sure what was going on there, this was the only time it happened in the two days I had the car. Maybe my fussing around with the volume/reverse camera in the beginning caused a glitch. After I shut off the car and restarted it everything was back to normal.

[@MrCarGuy]

TheTopher Not surprising as JD Power found people had more problems per 100 cars than virtually any other brand this past year.

[@aze1026]

Hey man, can you please shoot video about Mitsubishi Pajero Sport or Montero Sport 2017?

[@ivanlowjones]

AZE Where will you find one of those in the United States of Amurrica?

Man, I love how Volvo does everything different than others. It's not just a gimmick, it's just plain cool. One of my favorite aspects of Volvos

[@omars.8073]

Yours are among the best car videos on KZbin. Informative, high quality, and oddly soothing. Keep up the good work!

[@feachen1318]

exactly! oddly soothing, thats what I was trying to say!

[@Noah-Lach]

I love the warm, bright cabin lighting. It feels like you're at home, not inside a refrigerator or an office building like the harsh white LEDs in most "luxury" cars.

[@Rusty845637]

This is like ASMR and I'm here for it

[@weedmastersr]

I love Volvo and your videos. My favorite are the ones you do at sunset. The lighting in those videos is just amazing.

[@ChristianAlmeidabr]

14:32 There was a "NO TURN ON RED" sign, but you did turn on red... Here is your ticket!!!! LOL

[@DoSum4Me]

@12:14 looks like that SUV that passed you only had his daytime running lights on lol..

[@Inactive2003]

If i get enough money, im going for this hands down. Fell in love with this car from your video and the way you showed it off

[@WakuWaku300]

If I were shopping for an SUV then this is something I would go for in a heartbeat. Love the styling inside and out.

[@thomascain8839]

Noticed that there were no chimes or turn signal noises...

[@donovan4105]

Thomas Cain I noticed that too.

[@hazardous46]

there are on the one that my family owns

[@AW-zv2to]

Thomas Cain you can turn them off in the settings

[@lordmeme_]

you can turn them off lol

[@SilentMind]

Your videos are amazing man, quality makes me feel like I'm actually in the car. Wish you had more publicity, you definitely deserve it man. Keep up the work.

[@QuizzyV]

"I like how the speedometer climbs accurately, it doesn't skip numbers when you're getting up to speed". This is seriously my biggest gripe with a lot of new cars that are pushing the digital speedo. Ferrari does a good job of this, BMW M cars are a mixed bag since the M4 does alright but the M2 has a pretty low refresh. Annoyingly, nothing in the VAG has a good digital speedo and yet they're the ones moving away from analog-style speedometers altogether.

[@alexandermendoza1955]

I just picked one up from my local Volvo dealership but the hybrid plug in

[@damianotoole]

really enjoyed this

[@nyc_guy7658]

One of the best SUVs out there. Considering this or an x5. Which one should I get though? 🤔

[@s55matt88]

volvo or Model X

[@ikea7964]

X5 is shit

[@MrSanders48]

X5

[@MrSanders48]

That car is legendary and is a benchmark for any new luxury SUV on the market

[@MrCarGuy]

NYG_EVO X5 is a lot more fun.

[@ernestocolchado1873]

Nice review..

[@DonaldAsante]

It needs ambient lighting like most modern luxury cars.

[@michaeldicosmo6967]

Awesome job Chris you always do an amazing job!!! Can you post a day/night review a 2017 Mazda CX-9??

[@azera55555]

would love to see a t8

[@khoaphan8490]

would be nice if you could compare this to the Q7 in the next XC90 POV. Great job going into detail with all the options

[@lordmeme_]

The Q7 is one of this thing’s only direct competitors. Great competition between the two, you really only get to choose between those two and the Lincoln Aviator.

[@anxiousjayqee6442]

Finally!!!

[@herberthenrique__]

Thank you.

[@mohammedzidan7631]

[@alberto6934]

any chance of driving the 2018 genesis g80 sport ?

Do the jaguar f pace

hopefully i get the privilege to own one 🤩

[@jefflone4488]

keep making videos and growing

[@aman121495]

Is this the same Chris from the other audio channel 😮

[@donovan4105]

How come the turn signals are silent?

[@lordmeme_]

probably turned them off in the settings

[@gabykatut]

the soft for this car are made in ROMANIA :) est Europe !

[@Hero007ization]

Nice review. But I still love my German car.

[@clarencerichman3773]

Can you do a Night POV of the lincoln MkX

[@GMoney2006]

This car is not stylish. However the interior is really nice. I also think you need to play some music through the sound system so that we can get an idea how it sounds. Overall fantastic job.

[@lordmeme_]

u is high, this looks AMAZING

[@paulmichaeljohn]

What's the quietest suv you've driven?

[@lordmeme_]

personally it’s this lol. I’ve been in Range Rovers that have been more noisy than this.

[@sic22l]

They didn't hire "someone from Apple". They hired Apple.

[@OscarDaGenius]

Kinda weird that the car makes no chimes or turning signal clicks. Is there a setting to turn that off or is the car just like that? Other than that I have sat in one of these and can confirm that everything feels very high quality. Only sad part is that I didn't get to hear the sound system

[@lordmeme_]

Yeah there’s a setting to turn it off.

[@danI43541]

Eyy another really big 4 pot SUV ... meh I like the exterior but I'm somehow still not a fan of the inside.. same with the V90

[@annhuffthedreamteam9821]

Very nice can you get a entertainment center to watch movies and how much?

[@RealKevGotEm]

Dude, Mazda copied the same fob 😅 wtf

[@ThatWasherNerd]

Do you no when it was built?

[@eclypse6806]

Great vid, can you try and review a jaguar at night? 👍🏻

[@michaelbrown5212]

Now it’s 6/20/2020 and shouldn’t I buy it?

[@angryirishlad]

Is there much color selection or any accent lighting at all in the interior?

[@lordmeme_]

Not in this year model but I do think they have it with the 2020 facelift models

[@dementisband]

whats the car specs paper called?

[@PuppyProwd]

Ummm, Range Rovers don't have interiors that nice. Does look comparable to Mercedes and Audi though.

[@lordmeme_]

maybe merc, audi eh.

[@kr15t14n_]

18:30 What does pulsating red lights mean?

[@jeanlafrance8746]

Kris it's just like a stop sign.

[@AbdullahAlSebahi]

Hi Chris, we really like to see Toyota Land Cruiser VX-R or Lexus here instead of Volvo..

[@lordmeme_]

He has a Lexus GX in multiple videos so there you go.

[@Intrud3r55]

So much noise on a rather decent road. You can hear banging from smallest things and the wind noise... horrible for top of the range Volvo SUV. My old Volvo S60 was quieter and that's on normal suspension with 18" alloys.

[@lordmeme_]

Video don’t do it a lot of justice. MUCH quieter in person, I test drove this and it was WAY quieter than some Range Rovers(plural) I’ve been in.

[@Pepe-pm6kn]

this should be available in 3.0lt diesel v6

[@seeno1]

Nice car. I don't like turbo and supercharged. Too many possibilities for things to go awry.

[@ImineResveratrol]

It's ridiculously underpowered. Give it 350+hp and you've got a car that isn't just boredom with "luxury".
