I think the Volvo V90 Cross Country Is Amazing. Volvo Doesn't.

[@vincentrosengren3433]

It’s interesting how this car in viewed in the US. In Sweden were I live the V90 is basically the most common car there is and if not the V90 almost every family has a station wagon.

[@VinDieselS70]

Same in the UK as in the US. Very few Volvos in the roads compared to Sweden where you can see a handfull V/ S90 but plenty of XC90/60 and xc40's. When I go back to Sweden to visit family it's quite fun to see Volvo everywhere and even older Volvos still driving about. My dad had V70 from 2000 while I have a right hand drive V50 and live in Scotland. Lol

[@Sergio_Math]

Yet where I live, everytime I see it I jump, excited as if I had seen an Aston Martin...

That's why I like it! I live in California and everyone has Subaru. Volvos are way classier 😎

[@denniss5505]

I live in Michigan and love the cross country. Ive had 2 XC70’s and now this one, which I love, but wish it was still labeled XC70 like the original CrossCountry wagons. There not as common as the Audi and less expensive than the Mercedes300.

[@fairdinkum9454]

Fantastic video. And such a true statement, Volvo shouldn’t forget it’s own heritage. It is at after all what made Volvo Volvo 👍🏻 I’m on my fourth XC70, and accumulatively 500K kilometres. Without anything more than brakes changed! They are truly a masterpiece of engineering, comfort, safety and durability.

[@MattGreerMusic]

Just bought one and I absolutely love it. They are rare in US though. Honestly took me quite a while to find the right one and I ended it up buying it while on vacation in another state and drove it home. Not what I wanted to do but I had to grab it when I had the chance.

[@rbarnard264]

I’m looking at a 2018 B 90 T6 ocean race with 95,000 miles on the clock asking price of 37,000. Do you feel like these cars will be reliable for another couple hundred thousand miles like most of the cars on the market today that will run 300,000? Any feedback on reliability would be great as I’ve never owned a Volvo.

[@oldeverest1715]

Look away from the T6 and go for the T8 instead if availiable@@rbarnard264

[@oliverjuno5131]

Just bought out the lease on my 2018 CC. I couldn't find anything else out there that gave me all the options and versatility that the CC has. I couldn't find a 2021 anywhere nearby with the same options I already have. I never in my life thought I'd be driving a station wagon, but it is the perfect blend of comfortable, roomy sedan and SUV. People do stop and turn their heads and stare at my wagon! It looks sporty, sits up a little higher than a sedan, but isn't a cookie-cutter SUV. I don't know why the US market has caught on to these. I love mine!

[@bardz0sz]

Interesting, in Europe, we *love* our "kombi(s)" or "breaks" and for some reason, the US has some negative connotations with a "station wagon" 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@DriveThemAll]

Hopefully station wagons will make a comeback. The form and function is amazing without looking bulky and SUV like. IMHO

[@somefuckstolemynick]

Hey! I just bought a 2018 V90 CC this week! Small world! And yeah, agree, it's an absolutely beautiful car, and it really hits the sweet spot for me too. Super comfortable for long drives on the highway, and I can take into the Swedish forests when the hunting season begins, or up the mountains for skiing.

I bought one of these in August 2021 and I absolutely love this car. It is comfortable, safe, and believe it or not when you put your foot down it responds. It’s massive and it still has an acceptable 0 to 60. 5.8 seconds for the cross country 5.6 seconds for the inscription. Station wagons rule.

[@GrooveColo]

I'm in complete agreement regarding Volvo being synonymous with wagon/estate car. As an owner of a 2021 V90XC, however, Volvo has failed the market from a performance category. Even with Polestar tuning, the feel is soft, throttle response is long, drive-ability is, well, a bit lumbering compared to the true "R's" (and I'm not talking R-Design), of yesteryear. I'm honestly looking forward to increase range and performance that all electric can offer. Knowing Volvo engineering, I have high hopes. Nice review, nonetheless.

[@BeneCapone]

I drove the last 3 years a Volvo V90 Cross Country D5 with the 235 hp Diesel engine. The throttle response is so long, it put me in dangerous situations when I newly got the car. I liked the design, the seats were awesome and the B&W sound system was stunning. I am now driving a BMW 530d x-drive with a 265 hp Diesel and the car feels like 3 classes higher than the Volvo. And the BMW engine is a dream!

[@kronop8884]

@@BeneCapone As for the Volvo and every other brand using a small engine with a big turbo this is what happens, especially gasoline engines but diesels are affected as well. And I agree as a BMW 535d owner, the BMW engine is a dream.

What does long throttle response mean?

[@BeneCapone]

But it's great for what is is, a practical, versatile, family-oriented vehicle that is beautifully designed. And as mentioned in the review, with both a turbo and supercharged engine, it's not a slouch technologically.

Volvo wagons are wonderful! I love my XC70 T6: it holds as much as most SUVs, and still drives like a car, not a truck. I hope that they eventually offer an EV wagon: a V70 or V90 body with the drivetrain from the XC40 Recharge / Polestar 2, maybe with a somewhat bigger battery, would be an amazing vehicle.

[@kenclements3001]

I always chuckle a bit when I hear car companies announcing their plans to stop producing gas cars in a few short years. What they don't mention is the fact that the cars will cost a lot more and the infrastructure to operate them anywhere is almost non existent. Most people who buy electric cars drive mainly in urban areas. Many rural areas lack charging stations and it will be many years before they are as numerous as gas stations so planning a long trip involves checking out where charging stations exist and if its winter, expect to watch your power decrease faster making finding a station even more important. Electric cars are a scam being forced onto the public. Soon we'll not even have a choice as to what we drive. This is unacceptable.

[@GordoGambler]

And what about a HEATER in cold countries. A PROPANE one like VW bugs needed?? LOL. How the hell will 500 lbs of batteries last in -40??

[@uygarturk2344]

The high demand for the SUVs might also be another reason why Volvo is not marketing the V90 and V60. Even though I really like their SUV lineup, I hope they continue their heritage of family wagons. And since there is almost no fully electric family wagon on the market right now, I feel like Volvo could be one of the first big automotive brands to release a fully electric Stain Wagon.

[@the_OCD_Garage]

It’s not as they also don’t market the XC lineup. Only hybrid and electric is emphasized.

[@kenjones7719]

As a long-time Volvo driver, I couldn't agree more. What they are trying to sell now is eco-guilt. Petrol/gas motors today are so clean, they produce very little emissions. In contrast, 30% of global warming is from the construction industry with their lack of recyclable materials and designs and especially the energy requirements of producing concrete. I'm on my 5th Volvo and won't bother with anything hybrid or electric that Volvo makes. I looked for a used CC but found only two available. Instead, I bought a used XC60 (3.0 L) and love the simplicity and comfort of it.

[@brianklamer3328]

My wife and I have driven Volvo's for over 30 years now, but they broke the deal with this new 4 cylinder engine that doesn't even have an oil dipstick. The last real wagon was a 2016 XC70 with the 2.5 turbocharged in-line 5 cylinder and 250 horsepower.

[@cbatiau2528]

There are four main reasons why Americans don't buy the current group of Cross Country wagons, from my perspective as a buyer of three Volvo wagons (and a Porsche wagon), plus a '22 XC60. (1) The progression by Volvo away from physical buttons/dials is not welcomed by most Americans, and it's unsafe (goes against Volvo's pre-Geely stance as a safety-first car maker). (2) The current 4-cylinder engines (especially the so-called non-plugin "mild hybrids", and those with superchargers) are just not good, and they get horrible gas mileage compared to the automakers that do "mild hybrid" drivetrains correctly (see Toyota RAV4, e.g.). (3) The instrument panel and infotainment screens are VERY lacking in key information for the driver (and are very non-configurable). (4) They are overpriced for what you get, or don't get (i.e., Nos. 1-3, just mentioned). And I think it's a huge mistake to have panoramic glass standard in the roof; most people don't want/need it (and most of those that "do" are probably conned into it by Volvo propaganda, and the propanda of other luxury automakers). Putting more-expensive sound systems and speakers into Volvos (and other luxury vehicles) is also unnecessary (and just money-makers for the automakers, driving up MSRP needlessly, along with pano glass roofs and wheels that are way too large). Volvo's emphasis (stated) on minimalism just goes too far in that direction; rather, Volvo should look at closely those automakers that are retaining physical buttons/dials and focusing on things that are actually *useful* to the driver when driving (like actual tire pressure, odometer, date/time, etc.), and stop trying to emulate the horrible example of Tesla. And lastly, Volvo has made a huge mistake by not putting their best-ever drivetrain (the current "Extended Range" PHEV drivetrain) into the Cross Country wagons. No Volvos are worth buying, in my opinion (and I've owned or loaner-driven or test-driven them all), except for the current "Extended Range" PHEVs; the "mild hybrids" and the BEVs just are very inferior to the competition in so many ways, but the ER PHEVs that Volvo makes at least somewhat counters the poor interior displays/controls with a really good and useful drivetrain. I'll close by saying that I bought my XC60 because of the ER drivetrain and because Volvo hasn't put that into a Cross Country wagon; I vastly prefer lifted wagons to SUVs, and that has always been a strength of Volvo in my mind. (They have it in the non-lifted wagons, but I need the 8 inches of ground clearance that the Cross Country wagons have.) But I'll be moving on now to another brand because I'm fed up with diving into sub-menus for the most basic of things every day (climate controls, drive-mode controls) and not having basic information displayable in my instrument panel. This is more about design and presentation than it is Americans not liking wagons. Take the PHEV drivetrains of the 2024 GLE 450e and 2024 Cayenne E-Hybrid (which means all-electric driving in AWD) with the physical climate and drive-mode controls of the Cayenne, and combine the best of the screen information and quality of those two vehicles, and put them into a Cross Country wagon with the great seats and visibility and space and exterior appearance, and you'd have a Volvo that would sell like hotcakes.

[@unclerockuca]

I have had this car for 3 days as a courtesy car whilst I wait for my XC90 to be finished And I must say it's the ugliest car I have ever driven, but by God it might be the best car I have driven, it's stunning inside and drives so well I love it.

[@hansc8433]

It’s definitely a beautiful car, but also too big, and too expensive. There is no demand for cars like this anymore. Americans still seem to prefer ridiculously large SUVs (calling the V90 a mid-size car is laughable), and the rest of the world is downsizing engines and car sizes and we’re all moving away from internal combustion engine powered vehicles. Volvo created a new platform that supports electric motors plus batteries, so the rest of the cars are discontinued gradually. BTW, the V90 always has a hybrid powertrain, you cannot buy an petrol-only version in other regions than the gas-guzzling US of A.

[@baronvonjo1929]

Cause gas is cheap. Also at least for my state there just arent any EV charging stations because there isnt any demand for them and there isnt a demand for them because no charging stations and also base price. Its just more practical to buy a ICE or hybrid.

[@Giorg189]

Its too long, which means difficult to find a parking spot. Also, its low to the ground, meaning its prone to damages when there is a road with obstacles or potholes.

[@DriveThemAll]

Couldn't agree less. It's far shorter than a truck and has plenty of ground clearance.

[@johnyoung8859]

I don't think Americans will "buy" the Volvo all electric future. My guess is they will rethink it since a great deal of their sales worldwide are in the US.

[@cbatiau2528]

Volvo sales have gone up in the last year or two in the US. What Volvo needs to do is go back to physical buttons/dials for climate, drive-mode, etc., and then upgrade their computer screens to show much more information to be much more useful to the driver than they are now; their displayable information is extremely limited and minimalistic. Volvo needs to focus on drivers other than just soccer moms who don't mind driving iPads with wheels.

[@JoPro06]

Still don’t get what is so negative about having an all-electric vehicle or hybrid, contrary to a gas powered?

[@DriveThemAll]

There's nothing negative.. we just want everyone to appreciate how good this gas powered Volvo is and how it's a shame it's not being marketed as much as electric variations.

"bulky, square brick..." Your age is not the issue. The issue is where have you been since the end of 20 century? Volvo doesn't make square autos at least the last 30 years.

The Volvo today is not the volvo of the 80's this thing is mostly plastic and cuts corners everywhere. Maintenance is costly and unapproachable. Going all electric in the US is premature and a bad financial move.

Staying with ICE only, and staying with non-plugin vehicles, is a bad financial move. All Volvos should be plugins (including the Cross Country wagons), and Volvo should stick to just PHEVs and BEVs for the next 15 years or so.

So Volvo will no longer be around in three years 😂😂😂

woah! amazing car. anyone willing to give me as a present? :))

"What do you think of when you hear the word Vovlo" PTSD of the Volvo S60 my family had. Just buy a Toyota. The look nice tho but it ain't worth it. I want a wagon so bad that's lifted up like this. I'll never risk getting a European car again. If not for the reliability factor the depreciation and sheer cost is enough of a barrier.

1st gen?

[@baronvonjo1929]

@@0990ftn Yup. Idc if Ford owned the company at that time. I can see other folks have problems with newer Volvos as well. A youtuber called savagegeese leased a Volvo crossover (idk whatvits called cause for some reason European brands have a phobia of actual names) And he has already had warranty work done to it. It's not even 5 years old yet. Maybe it's still a one off but I ain't gonna risk it.

@@baronvonjo1929 If it was gas engine then yeah understandable. Most of Volvo horror stories are from gas engines, and most of “my volvo has trillion miles and never been blah blah blah” claims are from diesel owners. All of the reliable Volvo cars are the diesels and the least reliables are gasoline. My advice as an diesel V40 owner is, don’t bother buying a Volvo unless it’s a diesel.

[@baronvonjo1929]

@@0990ftn Yup it was gasoline and I belive it had electrical and turbo problems. I hate how so many manufacturers are using turbos for better emissions. It just hurts the product you make and hurts the consumer in the long run as a smaller engine in a bigger car being forced to output that much power just isnt good for it.

Stupid electric cars 😡 i hope Volvo change their minds.

[@cbatiau2528]

They aren't stupid, but Volvo is stupid for not putting their ER PHEV drivetrain into their Cross Country wagons.

narrow and uncomfortable trunk

This is the worst car purchase in my almost 60 years of life. Volvo could car less. electrical/computer system a joke. cant lock the car sometimes. I bought it a year ago for $78,000+ . Flee, I implore you, while you can
