Alex and Team Alex on Autos, If this is your last video of 2021, I just want to congratulate ALL of you for another outstanding year of car reviews. Of the dozens and dozens of densely informative and consistently rational reviews produced throughout the last year, I have to say the Prius AWD review of July 23 was the pinnacle. Your ever-growing catalogue continues to be a critically important, steadfastly coherent, highly objective and quantitative resource for car shoppers and car enthusiasts. Heck Alex, you even throw in a little apt humor from time to time. I am sure I speak for many other SUBSCRIBERS when I say we are all looking forward to your upcoming Lexus NX 350h vs Venza vs RAV4 Hybrid review as well as all the others. Best of luck in 2022!!! :D

[@hellkitty1014]

"America's lighting laws are pretty stupid"...love it Alex!😂 I still love the dash-to-axle profile of the S90 plus the interior remains very comfortable and well designed. I think the car has aged well and still stands out. I do like the stubbornness that Volvo still practices and dances to their own beat. I've been waiting for long-term reports of the turbo/supercharged/hybrid reliability of these engines, but I don't hear of many catastrophic issues. Early models had teething issues, but it seems like Volvo worked them out. I still believe the V90 is the best thing produced from Volvo. Such a striking wagon that I hate to see not for sale anymore here in the States. It looks wayyy better than the E-Class wagon and more sophisticated than the Audi Allroad.

[@us1fedvet]

V90 is still in the sales literature.

[@gregp.7148]

Power adjustment to the steering wheel is the other item the S90 does not have compared to a BMW 7-series, but how often do you adjust it anyway...never. But has heated and cooled back seats, head up display, massaging front seats, modern and not overcluttered middle stack, 360 camera, rear air suspension, blond nappa leather, dual tone steering wheel, upgraded headliner, leather wrapped sunvisors and overhead handles, illuminated door sills, power extending thigh support. Auto open and close trunk from inside and outside the car and from the remote too. Aluminum and wood galore throughout. It's very, very luxurious. And I love the Scandinavian design and Thor's hammer headlights (they turn with the wheel turning). I'm 6'4", but still ton of backseat legroom behind me. This car is way overlooked for what it offers at the price point. Very few on the road. I drive the T6 Awd Inscription with all the available options. My first Volvo. Great choice and even better price compared to the oh-too-popular German competition.

[@paulward4175]

I so rarely comment, but you made a comment on having mild hybrids on all vehicles is better than a few electrics. This is so true. Raising all fuel eco only by 3mpg is better than a few by 20. I was working on San Francisco’s New Central Subway. One of the preliminary designs talked about an option that would remove a 6mph section with a 20mph section. This was much better than raising a 30 to 35mph section. Same concept here.

[@vxs5077]

Got a Magic Blue, Blonde leather S90 T8 in Inscription Pro a month ago (after a C Class) and boy, has this been an upgrade and a half or what. Such a stunning car - unpretentious, understated, and achingly cool. ALL of the additional options are so brilliantly worth it; and I'm so looking forward to the preconditioning function in the winter - entering a warm and toasty car in the mornings! I'm 42, and I feel like instead of joining a Members-only club, I've bought one. Love it! ❤

[@franzvanjulio5523]

Yes, is this video capped your contributions for 2021 then you definitely did a great job, yet again. 2022 will be just as good, if not better. I enjoy the extent of detail, information and professionalism that the channel shows in the content it produces. I recommend this channel to anyone seriously considering buying a new car and rely on it myself. Keep it up!

[@clarkgourguejr]

The S90 is a very underrated sedan. It’s a tough choice between the A6 and 5 Series. The E Class is great for the price tag is a tough pill to swallow when you match up the options of S90 or A6. I am glad to see that Volvo is continuing on the electrified progress. Thanks for the great detailed review Alex!👍🏾

[@DADVICETV]

Excellent long review - I feel like I actually spent time with the S90. Rear seat legroom has become important now that I have a 202q BMW X5 45e (which is sorely lacking in rear leg room). I look forward to seeing a video like this on the XC90 - your option carries a lot of weight with me. thanks!

Still got many years to go and have dipped into it for minor electronic failures.

The hybrid battery alone on a modern Mercedes is 30k, and unlike Toyotas they often don't even last 100k miles.

[@darrell9616]

Alex, I think your analysis was spot on. One thing I had a problem with was this being Volvo's flagship. This car screams anything but. If this car is evaluated at its MSRP, then it's more palatable. Its large backseat is really it's only, major selling point IMO. The competition is within a couple of MPG, which makes the hybrid thing a non factor IMO.

[@markmiller3279]

That few MPG more is a solid 10% increase in efficiency, with no negatives. I agree that it's unfortunate this is their flagship. If they're going to position themselves as a true luxury brand they would benefit from something better equipped - I think the S90 is big enough already.

[@1973TJM]

Volvo has a better warranty than any other manufacturer, or, better said, has an actual warranty (parts and labor) after the original warranty ends, if a part breaks more than once.

[@rayepps4201]

The US will be able to have Adaptive Matrix headlights now that the Infrastructure Bill has passed. I expect a solid, insightful video from you about this amazing technology in the future.

That is a heckuva lot of complexity to produce average fuel economy. I’d buy the longest warranty extension Volvo offers, if I bought this car.

[@nikhilsrl]

These are good lease vehicles, which is how I own one. Beyond the warranty I'd be losing sleep if I owned one outright.

[@clarkgourguejr]

I’d did that with my T6 S90. The last thing you want to do with a $63k+ car is deal with out of warranty repairs. I plan on selling after my extended warranty is up. In the meantime I’m going to enjoy it as much as possible!

With the child door lock button on the driver door, you also disable all the power functions on the back seat doors. So they can't move the front passenger seat.

[@murattosundan]

Mild hybrids may be ok for very small cars like B class hatchbacks but Volvo shouldn't use mild hybrids. Volvo deserves proper Hybrid with high voltage electric power train and 1.5 kwh+ hybrid battery.

[@markmiller3279]

These aren't trying to compete with regular hybrids. They're a more efficient alternative to other base powertrain that aren't hybrids at all. If you want a more efficient model, there's the plug-in hybrid.

[@bikingmoments]

IMO this S90 is the luxury version of Honda Accord, well rounded in the luxury way that Acura failed to achieve with TLX. It is funny to know TLX is heavier than this S90, yet TLX rear seats are more crappy than S60!

Geely owns it, but this is still a Swedish-ran company and most are built here in SC.

[@PJPHughes]

The S90 standard wheelbase and V90 are built in Sweden, as is the V60. The S60 is built in the US and the XC40 is built in Belgium. It’s a global organization…just like Tesla and GM that both build cars in China as well.

[@themanthemyththebanger]

@@PJPHughes final assembly point and parts supplier factories are not the same thing. I think parts are worth worrying about in the long-term. These are not huge sellers, so not a huge incentive for aftermarket suppliers in North America to produce parts 10, 15, 25 years from now.

The first one was under warranty and then the other two cost about 800 bucks apiece.The ECU crapped out and that was two grand. The door locks went out that was like 400 bucks. The starter went out after four years. That was like 600 bucks or something. I am using exclusively Volvo parts. Maybe that’s the problem.

[@1973TJM]

Since at least '16, Volvo has a life-time warranty on parts and labor. After that 1st blower was replaced by you, Volvo would pay full parts and labor for future blower break downs. No other manufacturer does this. Replace something once only, after the original warranty ends, but never again as long as you own it.

General Motors was mocked when they released mild hybrid pickups and large SUVs, 15 years ago. Unfortunately, the general public saw the few MPG improvement as meaningless. What they failed to understand is that the reduction in absolute fuel consumption was significant. The media didn't do it justice (because MSM sucks).

[@themanthemyththebanger]

Or maybe General Motors lacked the leadership to keep going down that path instead of letting folks say "I don't get it" and ditching the program. Remember how they had mild hybrid power in the Impala and the truck-based SUVs at the time? Why wouldn't they stick to their guns and fully hybridize those models while trickling the technology down to smaller, less-expensive models? Lack of vision and leadership, that's why. Also, having worked as an automotive reviewer during this time -- a side-hustle to full-time newspaper work -- I can tell you their communications to journalists were not doing a great job selling the "big picture" of corporate fuel economy. GM wasn't painting that picture explicitly enough. I would go so far as to say they did a pretty terrible job of it, in fact.

IMO mild hybrid cars are total bs and just makeup to a pig. The only true hybrid system I recognize is the F150 with powerboost. There's an small electric engine that powers the truck a low speeds, then can be run in tandem with the gas engine, all the while, the gas engine is recharging the battery for continuous use at non-demand usage. And the genius move is the truck can be used as a small generator to power electric appliances when parked. This is where all manufacturers should concentrate their efforts and dive deep end into total electrification. It's a happy medium where gas engines can squeeze more efficiently out of every gallon its engines burn.
