[@danishviking6254]

It’s eye wateringly good looking. Definitely the one I’ll get once I switch from my T8 XC90.

[@TheNovakReport]

I'm pretty eager to get a chance to drive and review it myself.

[@RaulGonzalez-cb5ks]

Where is the start button at ??? It use to be on the middle console

[@holsteincowboy]

How will extreme cold affect range . Minus 40 C for examle in Winnipeg

[@TheNovakReport]

Range loss in winter has improved in EVs as new generation vehicles come out. Increased range also factors in. I can't speak to this model as it is new, but there is a vibrant EV community in Winnipeg, so I suggest you look for EV groups on social media to reach out and ask about their own experiences with a Winnipeg winter.

[@johnmwejanda2848]

Will this car have handle bars so far I don’t see any

[@TheNovakReport]

Handle bars? How do you mean?

[@hadtobe4502]

The elephant in the room again. How hot is the cabin going to be with that glass roof when the sun is beating down on a hot day. Really need some reviews in summer and get first hand experience as I doubt any dealer will point it out.

[@TheNovakReport]

There are plenty of other models that have the same treatment. Toyota and Lexus have done this as have other OEMs. Never been a real problem, and I've driven a few of them.

[@mykeljewell]

@@TheNovakReportI’m assuming this is a Canadian channel? I currently live in Texas where it’s consistently been 100-105f/38-41c. Genuinely asking, Have you had experience in that kind of situation? If so, can you tell us how that fairs in that kind of weather? Cuz it’s near unbearable to get in our cars currently

[@TheNovakReport]

@@mykeljewellYes, I'm Canadian but I do tailor my videos to Canadian and US viewers. I can't answer a speculative question as it relates to how the EX90 with its panaoramic roof will manage in areas like yours since the model isn't for sale yet. But what I can say is that all automaker do extensive testing on new models in both extreme cold and heat prior to debut. I also know that the top is tinted and driving in heat would indeed be considered. They wouldn't design a vehicle for sale in the US that wasn't viable in parts of it.

[@sjohnson7879]

I was thinking the same thing! There needs to be a power shade for the sunroof! The entire roof is made of glass so I can only imagine how hot the cabinet is going to be in the summer. Not sure if this is going to be a deal breaker for me. But disappointing to say the least!

[@MrBobberone]

I think the same thing, these interiors are horrible. Cost cutting and savings everywhere. That roof is simply stupid, try to live in a hot country and you'll know. No curtains for the rear doors, vent seats only for one fabric, and that horrible dashboard. These are 20k € car interiors, no way to offer such a poor, miserable, dull interiors for a 120k € car

[@CassiCarrigan]

What exact color is this EX90?

[@riazKhan-uk8hf]

What a car 👍

[@PhilKulak]

Wow, first EX90 I've seen with CCS and not combo. I was afraid they still only had the two prototypes from months ago, but it looks like at one has come off the line in South Carolina.

[@TheNovakReport]

This is still a prototype, but one built to be showcased in North America - thus CCS.

[@nathannnathan85]

what is CCS?

[@TheNovakReport]

@nathannnathan85 CCS stands for Combined Charging System and is one of the North American DC Fast Charging standards. It is, however slowly on the way out as most automakers have made the decision to either switch to or become compatible with Tesla's North American Standard fast charging system. Look up CCS online for images or just see the charger inbthe video.

[@nathannnathan85]

@@TheNovakReport thanks!!

[@MarvinChery]

Does the wireless charger have cooling vents?

[@deonake]

yeap you can observe it on video

[@MrMangeced]

the little screen looks like in the citroen c4 cactus, could have been done nicer, otherwise very nice

[@TheNovakReport]

I've not seen the C4 Cactus screen myself, so I'll have to take your word for it. I'll have a better look when I get to do a full review later in the year.

[@raspas99]

Edit: Love those little touches considering sustainability and overall design. I hope the reliability is also on par so this can be an easy decision.

[@TheNovakReport]

So...they'll take you off the reservation list then? I'm sure they won't mind as the list of people waiting to drive one is pretty long.

[@raspas99]

@@TheNovakReport you are absolutely right The waiting line is a bit long. I just had some concerns in the previous edit but hopefully they addressed that.

[@TheNovakReport]

@@raspas99 I'm not defending anyone, but you are making summary accusations about a model that hasn't been sold to a single customer yet. Yours is an opinion based on your personal bias, whereas I prefer to wait and see and to actually get my chance behind the wheel before making any conclusions.

[@raspas99]

@@TheNovakReport they are lacking in reliability a lot in last couple of decades.. but okay. I'm not going to be One of those people online who just spread negative comments. Let's wait and see. The thing is between Lexus nx, Honda CRV and this I would rather take this if it weren't for those things I mentioned. And I have to wait a year for sure and it costs a lot..

[@TheNovakReport]

@@raspas99 The Lexus NX and Honda CR V are smaller than the EX90 which will have 3 rows and seat 7. And prices for EVs aren't apples to apples when comparing to gas powered. The purchase price will be higher on an EV but the costs to operate are far lower. You need to do a full cost of ownership and operating to make a fair comparison between the 2 technologies.

[@youtubeaccount9808]

Such a shame that the sunroof can't be opened. Love the large sunroof of my XC90. This might be a dealbreaker for me. Love the rest of the car. The current trend of sealed glass roofs is awful.

[@TheNovakReport]

Sealed moonriofs typically are larger in surface area to provide more openness, and this makes it unfeasible to open. An example of this was the Lincoln MKZ where the large moonroof pulled back, but then obstructed the rear view mirror as a result.

[@OriOnTheIguanaHunter]

Also the driver controls, "everything is touch" I really like the interior of the XC90, the big screen trend that does it all is also awful

[@ys00748]

where is 4 seater??

What 4 seater are you referring to?

The radar is a good idea but honestly it looks like a taxi batch… 😮 Here I think Volvo needs to go back and redesign

[@TheNovakReport]

I don't know many taxis with the technology and safety found in this vehicle.

[@samkeino6810]

Swedish sensibilities? You must mean Chinese sensibilities, since Volvo is now a Chinese company and the car is made entirely in China, except that its CEO lives in Sweden.

[@TheNovakReport]

Actually, the EX90 is built in Ridgeville, South Carolina for the US, Canada and most European countries. And it was designed by its team in Gothenburg, Sweden. As you were saying?

[@samkeino6810]

@@TheNovakReport You must mean it is assembled in NC using Chinese parts.

"this thing is FAST... 0-60 in 4.9" this man living in 2013

Under 5 seconds for a 7-passenger, luxury electric SUV that is packing a 111 kW battery...well, yes that is indeed fast. He didn't say it was the fastest - he said it was fast and he isn't wrong.

@@lotfibelbachir9326 I thought my BMW 320d doing 0-60 in roughly 7.5 seconds was pretty nippy. 4.9 is all you could ever want in a HUGE car like this.

[@lotfibelbachir9326]

@@tobias_dahlberg absolutely man. it seems even unreal to think about such performances

[@youtubeaccount9808]

Still dissappointing for anyone cross-shopping this an a Rivioan. The Rivian weighs more and can do 3 seconds to 60. Our other EV can do 60 in about 2.3s and as bonkers as that is, you get used to it pretty quickly. Wish the XC90 top tier trim was closer to 4 seconds like the EX30.
