2024 Volvo V90 - T8 review - your dark horse?

[@AnnaOnRoads]

Recently I have reviewed the elegant Volvo S90 - so which one is it for you? V90 or S90?

[@shaywhelan1]

I normally prefer estates, but in this case, I like the saloon. The V90 is almost too long. It is undoubtedly elegant, beautifully finished, and extremely swift.

[@AnnaOnRoads]

The V90 is rather long, I think the V60 is probably a bit better balanced. Then again, the length gives the V90 nobility, in a way. But the S90 is gorgeous, true. I think personally I do like the S90 just a tiny bit more!@@shaywhelan1

[@anthonystevens8683]

In the UK I don't think we will be getting the V90 if my dodgy memory is correct. Volvo is no longer exporting estates to the UK unless there has been a change in policy.

[@AnnaOnRoads]

Hi Anthony, I'm afraid you are correct. No more saloons, no more estates. Only SUVs. Shame really. @@anthonystevens8683

S 90 just 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@johnbarnes3638]

I am so lucky to own a S90 T8. Best car I have ever owned. 40 miles electric range, hardly ever visit petrol station, 0-60 4.5 s B&W sound system, also so comfortable. Not fault free, electric heater packed in but replaced under warranty.

[@2Bunphettered788]

I mentioned how much I preferred the V90 in your last Volvo review and you brought me this! You really do love me, Anna! 😘

[@AnnaOnRoads]

I really do! 😉

[@mattiassvanholm4873]

Love your reports😊! From Sweden with love. I drive the X60 t8 from 2017. Still love it!

[@AnnaOnRoads]

Hi Mattias, thank you ❤ That's a beautiful car, my favourite SUV actually!!!

[@michaelstaunton1632]

Enjoying the content on the channel well done everyone 👍👍👍

[@Black2005Lotus]

I have a 2019 S60 T6 with the twin-charged engine and polestar tune. I would’ve gotten the V60 equivalent had it been available in the US. The S90 and V90 are excellent and wholly-underrated by most. Glad to see your love of these cars is as they deserve. Keep up the good work!

[@AndrewScullion23]

I do love a nice estate, practical and elegant, So V90 ticks my box, That cabin is superb, just keep your phone in your pocket. Super informative review Anna.

[@johngaudet6316]

Beautiful V90! I've got a 2020 V60 CC, love it especially the Bowers audio and heated wipers. I live north of Boston USA. My Volvo runs and looks brand new still with 50K. I won't be trading up anytime soon.

[@davewalters6246]

I have a 24 model T8 V90 and it's brilliant. It has a 40-50 mile battery range (depending on season) and - to my slight surprise - I seem to be getting 40-45mpg out of the petrol engine too (and the petrol engine is 300hp so we might expect to be punished more for that when it comes to fuel consumption). About half of my mileage is on pure battery as many of my regular trips are within the range of the battery - on a cheap overnight rate (thanks Octopus) I get a full battery for about £1.30 - so can do 40-50 miles for about the same cost as for one litre of unleaded fuel. I've had it a year and have no real niggles. It's super quiet, has a magnificent sound system (Bowers & Wilkins) and is very comfortable and spacious..

[@ashimislamov5714]

Анна спасибо за очередной обзор! месяц назад получил свой s90 t8 с таким же салоном как у Вас ,наслаждаусь!!!

[@tobbeknallhatt6189]

8:38 It is due to the battery pack there is no space. If you driva a non hybrid there is space to store your things.

[@anthonystevens8683]

Another cracking review Anna. If I recall correctly the news from Volvo was that they are no longer bringing the estate cars to the UK which is a great shame. I wasn't always a fan of them some decades ago. Nothing against the cars but more something to do with the drivers back then. All changed when Volvo released the 850 estate and raced it successfully. Apologies I'm waffling. In a nutshell I do like the V90-T8 a lot, but although the 0 to 100 KPH is very good for that sausage dinner the inside storage needs some talking to. You were clearly not best pleased about that understandable though. Once again Cracking production, editing and presenting. Many thanks for sharing.

[@isaackent2355]

8:32 Pretty sure that must be a double compartment, with two handles, one for the top part where your phone was, but there is another handle to access the large compartment underneath.

[@AnnaOnRoads]

There isn't :-( Mercedes has that option, but not Volvo.

[@isaackent2355]

@@AnnaOnRoads Really, then that is silly

[@alecsch]

no, there is no cubby box due to the batteries underneath

[@Mexxx65]

You're right Anna...Its a dark horse....a very dark horse...the most stunning ones ;)

[@AnnaOnRoads]

Yes! 😊

[@alecsch]

I own a t6 in the very same interior trim...little tip : your mobile phone can be put upright into a specially designed slot just in front of the so-called cubby box ;)

[@AnnaOnRoads]

Hi Alec, you can do that but if you carry water bottles etc. it defeats its purpose :-)

[@alecsch]

also true...my cupholders carry only keys and chewing gum though 😁@@AnnaOnRoads

[@45flydalton]

Perfect take on the V90 👍

[@AnnaOnRoads]

Thank you!!!

[@hungryboy424]

Why have they done away with centre cubby box storage ? What's under there now? Do you know !!

[@alecsch]

because of the battery pack underneath...no room for a cubby box. For that reason the hybrids also don't have 4 zone climate control

[@tampaguy6370]

If you have a family i think it’s an ideal car I remember the station wagons from my youth does it come with wood paneling on the side Anna ps .can you make a blooper video the storage not closing made me laugh .

[@shineobsessed4221]

Great review as usual. I'm a sucker for a wagons sadly we don't get many option in the ole US of A, sadder still is Volvo dropped R-Design editions from their lineup. The boot space camera angle didn't catch your foot sweeping to release the trunk so it looked as though you were beginning to salsa for us..hahaha

[@AnnaOnRoads]

Thank you! I just don't get it, I think car makers would really make it a success with station wagons, yet they don't bring these over. Salsa ;-)

This is yet another car I wish were available here in the US. I'll have to suffer along with my XC90.

[@xxxx-wl4mx]

Czesc Anna, który wybrać jeżeli cenisz wygodna i cicha jazdę? A6, S/V90 czy BMW 5?

[@AnnaOnRoads]

Czesc 😊 Bardzo podobnie, zalezy tutaj od silnika, BMW 5 hybryda bedzie chyba najcichsza. Potem S90, potem A6 i V90

[@xxxx-wl4mx]

dziękuję!@@AnnaOnRoads

Volvo have always built safe cars but most times are like driving a tank 😂,this one certainly looks good and it as a fabulous colour trim , and the drive looks very impressive so I would think they are in to a winner 😊

Looks good, I also like the tan interior… we couldn’t see the graphics, camera didn’t zoom in 🤔 I know you tested a XC40 recently, if you get opportunity I’d be interested in your opinion of the EX30 … please… 😊

[@AnnaOnRoads]

Hi Patrick, I film by myself so sometimes I forget to get some more zoomed in footage. I am yet to drive the EX30, I was waiting for the summer actually. I've decided not to take EVs in Poland, only in Switzerland. It just became too difficult with charging in Poland. But I did film it static, great looking car!

I find the center console storage on the MY19 V90 rather cavernous; I wonder when they changed to this shallower profile. I am always finding misplaced items in that space ☺️.

I love Volvo, Anna loves Volvo, I love Anna, Anna loves Volvo ha😋. I know a Chinese company owns Volvo now, but they're still made in Sweden, by Swedes, and the designer is T. Jon Mayer, an American. Although it was just announced that T. Jon Mayer is leaving Volvo after 12 years at head of exterior design, so it will be interesting to see the new path it takes under a new exterior designer, as the Volvo designs over the last few years under Mayer have been very sleek and stylish. 🙏

[@MathieuVanquickelberghe]

Just in front of the lever to open the storage space underneath the armrest, there is a compartment to place your smartphone vertically! ;-)

[@AnnaOnRoads]

yes :-) but I always carry water/drinks and then it defeats the purpose of this compartment

[@MathieuVanquickelberghe]

@@AnnaOnRoads It is not the 2 cupholders that I mean! It's that smal open compartment between the 2 cup holders and the armrest... at the bottom there is a cutout so your phone can sit vertically in it with the cable attached to the bottom of the phone + this cutout gives access to the compartment underneath the armrest so the phone can be connected to the USB‑C for Apple CarPlay! Nobody seems to know the real function of this compartment... ;-)

I drive XC60 T8 2019, before max speed limiter. It could reach 277 kmh, but there's no decent place to test it, but, anyway, we, drivers don't wanna be limited. so, c'mon VOLVO!!! So, if you wanna sell T8 in Germany, disable max speed limiter imideately!!! Thank you for reading this!!! Cheers.

Volvo made the biggest mistake by stopping their 5 cylinder and going with their new piece of garbage 4 cylinder, as a Volvo owner i will never buy their 4 cilinder models never...

[@AnnaOnRoads]

Hi Tom, the 4 cylinder engines aren't bad, but I do agree with you, the 5 cylinders were very very special. Just like Audi. I love 5 cylinder engines, also 10 cylinder, the R8, glorious!

[@98XC1]

4cyl work decently well. Have 2 T6 variants in a family and they are trouble free thus far. 5cyl is great option and I would love them to keep it, but if you want volvo in a future..your options are limited. It is not a problem on a smaller body cars,but sure underpowered on xc90 platform

[@donteatafter1787]

soory but you Defending a 180 kilometers per hour is STUPID! Where will you drive over 180 km/h? It's no one's business where/how/what! I think it's silly even to talk about it because this car costs a lot of money (the cheapest one is 58,000 euros) to be limited to 180 km/h regardless of the fact that you can't drive over 180 on most highways. The car develops 455 horsepower (in words: four hundred and fifty-five)! 180 can be achieved even with 120 horsepower. I think it's nonsense that Volvo has set this limit and they don't have the right to do so as long as they ask for that much money for the car and as long as there are so many horses in the engine.

[@AnnaOnRoads]

Haha settle down, you realise it's a bit of tongue in cheek humour going on ;-)
