Volvo S90 2018 in-depth review | Mat Watson Reviews

[@stuartyaxley5308]

Why do all car testers think we want a car that drives and handles like a f1 car

[@perezpepito104]

Cuz they know us well!

[@BaybieK]

Why not?

[@evertesterhuizen1794]

Absolutely agree with you! A plush, comfy ride ranks much higher in my books.

[@louisl1616]

I am looking at s90 vs60 t5 but d4 s90 not sure which

[@supernotnatural]

You compare it to rivals you dumbass

[@bunsenn5064]

I love the redesign Volvo has done. They’ve taken their previous style, and made it sharper and more aggressive without changing too much of the Volvo DNA, except the interior which is a giant improvement.

[@austinboni8193]

WOW! That Volvo looks amazing!

[@roweng831]

Mat Watson is one of the best car reviewers I've seen.

[@Sbayo9]

no

[@imnithinpaul05]

True , but I like Doug DeMuro more

[@m4rs12]

@@imnithinpaul05 THIS IS QUIRKS AND FEATURES 😂

[@ShivaShankar-ds5cf]

@@imnithinpaul05 I doo like his reviews it's like I like both of their reviews anyways they both have different accents Doug American and mat german

[@guidestips1828]

Yeah Doug IS dope

[@Mat.Carvalho]

God, it looks amazing, totally love it.

[@acchaladka]

Matheus Carvalho I don't even like sedans and I think this is gorgeous.

[@JYMAHJAMES]

acchaladka What you prefer fat SUV's instead?

[@acchaladka]

Hatches baby, powah powah zoom zoom. Would love a Polestar hatch of some kind.

[@lth9520]

acchaladka You can order any volvo with polestar upgrades

[@mkkravist11]

you cant say Volvo aren't trying. This is a great car, well priced, comfortable, smooth, futuristic and safe. Well done Volvo. I am very tempted to go back to Volvo from my current German competitor.

[@mustsilm]

Eww Mat, you were basically rubbing the nutella and marmalade on the dashboard when you did the soft touch material test.

[@nickj4785]

Marmite*

[@baptoufragilise]

I f*cking love that back ! And I hate marmite lol

[@prithvireddy6318]

Baptiste DL best looking rear

[@ihavenousername1805]

I love the back too, but the front just looks like an audi with those headlights.

[@hasanal-habbobi4018]

it looks horrible and hidoous IMO

[@hasanal-habbobi4018]

*****​​​​ so anybody who has a different opinion than you is a hater?!?! lol, look at the wagon version of this (the Volvo s90) and tell me the volvo in this video looks better than the s90 wagon tail lights. The wagon tail lights look stunning and gorgeous, what a real Volvo should look like........ this Volvo (the video one) looks like they spent so much time on the front but forgot about the back and rushed it. This is an image of the s90. (Tail lights) static.autoblog.nl/images/wp2016/volv-v90-nieuw.jpg Tell me which one looks better, the s90 wagon or sedan (tail lights in particular)? Which one looks more like a real volvo? Be honest!

[@hasanal-habbobi4018]

*****​ ya but which one is better, don't you think the wagon tail lights look better than the sedan's tail lights?

[@prayerpowersr854]

yesterday I 8 a whole medium sized jar of Nutella with warm milk, I feel fantastic, I feel great and I'm never eating Nutella again!

[@veeayeeeceee]

well, that was anti-climatic

[@dschonsie]

John Kyon .......until next week.

[@inzls2004]

Bought 2019 S90 inscription d4 last month couldn’t be more happier comfortable relaxing luxury comes with tons of specs front and rear seats heating massage feature front seats head up display Harmon Larson sound system adaptive led cornering lights reverse camera Apple car play android auto too many features to list been buying BMW’s for over 15 years first time ever a Volvo and I am in love with it highly recommended !

[@senseihEnRY16]

well, if you don't like the rear end of this car, you can always get the V90 which is a modern masterpiece

[@CipherOS]

Henry Rahardja oor new xc60

[@chickflickone]

Or v60 which looks better than the v90

[@markuslc1888]

the centre console from the new e -class is fully made of plastics...just 4 the record....

[@Underhills]

I've never EVER had a cup in the car or a bottle in the side door. Yet cup holders and side door compartment seems to be the most important features in many car reviews. Forget about everything else, it has FIVE cup holders! Jiha.

[@ChrisMiz1]

So why is it okay to use this touch screen while driving, but not your phone? I'm not advocating phone usage while driving, far from it, this just seems a bit of a distraction, perhaps more so than your phone.

[@dawidmisiak850]

You do not need to use a touch screen while driving. It's not possible to write or read SMS while driving. AC, navigation, a telephone can be used with voice.

[@user-mv6he6gl8m]

Because it's a stupid law. In Sweden they've actually expanded it to prohibit any use of electronic device while driving. Probably were thinking of Ipads and the sorts but what about the touch screens! From now on almost every new car owner will become a criminal! Ha, ha, politicians...

[@1973TJM]

The S90 has a talk button on the steering wheel that allows the driver to accomplish most tasks WITHOUT touching the center screen. Reviewers usually fail to point this out.

[@HaNNibal97smiTH]

I love this car, much better than its rivals

[@fugl_s603]

If you can't afford a BMW 7er, Mercedes S Class or Audi A8, this is a great option, it won't have the ventilated or reclining rear seats but Volvo will eventually come out with a hybrid and Excellence as well to compete better with the German full size executives. So this is currently worth the price...

[@lth9520]

FUGL_S60 There is a hybrid version of this car

[@3litepker]

The T6 has optional ventilated seats and yes there is a hybrid version.

[@ViezePoeperd]

I'd rather buy a Volvo than be another mindless BMW normie

[@jakeadams4621]

I can afford all but I’d rather buy the S90 even if it did cost as much as the S Class anyway

[@marshallmarthes]

it does look great

[@jaypatel3817]

Your camera and camera man both are truly professional.

[@oof8850]

Its like the designer spent all his time creating the front and ran out of time for the back

[@Ummba13]

Or spent too much on the back, but i think it looks good

[@satnitcboy]

New ads show the car at night, and the rear lighting has a great look - a step apart from the crowd.

[@fabiorpittol]

Not nearly as little as the time spent on rear of the coupé Mercedes', or the Audi A7! lol

[@amitmittal5306]

I LITERALLY GOT MY SCREEN SCRATCHED IN ORDER TO KILL THAT FLY ON MY SCREEN !!!!

[@unconvincingrebel]

Not really the back is unique, designer could have been really boring and made it look like a generic german coupe rear

[@simonkundi1075]

Not even a Jaguar XF comes close to the sheer beauty of the S90

[@benjaminbomberg]

As far as I can tell, that rear seat cubby is where the display for the rear seat climate control panel goes. I've yet to see on here in Canada without it, but we don't get the D4. Only the T6 and T8.

[@hajanballan8365]

I bought mine this week. It’s a monster on the road. Cosy car I love it.

[@abushayeed2802]

I hired this car and went on a long journey on the motor way with my wife I have to admit I've owned a BMW m sport and drove a Mercedes as well but this car was amazing seriously the cornering is really good and the digital aspect is really good but driving and using it can be a pain but you get use to it

[@FahdRiyami]

Awesome. Please show us more of the driver assistance systems in the cars that have them.

[@rakhsiprayogo82]

Mat that Rival like a: BMW 7 Series, Audi A8, Mercedes S Class, Toyota Avalon, Tesla model s,Jaguar XF,Lexus Es

[@joebrito2066]

Why you always review diesel engines? Is Diesel more common in the UK? I test drove the T6 here is the US, and I was really impressed, specially the interior.

[@eUK95]

That last 'bad point' is actually a good point in my opinion haha very nice car

[@almota7]

I like it when he closes it with should you consider, shortlist... Also, Matt would be great for Top Gear.

[@skater360slim]

The way he pronounced "mjölnir"... fantastic

[@RDB61]

WAIT MAT! YOU DIDNT STATE WHETHER WE SHOULD IGNORE IT CONSIDER IT SHORTLIST IT OR GO AHEAD AND BUY IT! NOOOOOOO

[@adamtelford4990]

There is a s90 inscription pro t8 twin engine in this model, It is 407bhp and 0to60 in 4.8 seconds that is bmw m140is 0t060 time.

[@lesdickson3882]

Any S90 drivers out there keep getting flashed by others when they think you have the main beam on but in fact it is just the standard dip headlights. Have they not heard of LED headlights, which are brighter and safer?

[@Butcheren0]

Thor´s hammer was called Mjölnir, not nunam or whatever you said :D great video as always, Matt.

[@faizanhussain6205]

This guys loves E class every luxery saloon he always mention e class

[@bvedant]

It's the segment standard

[@zaidtareen1383]

He finally reviewed it!!

[@BestCarSound]

Cheaper than E-class? Then it's no brainer for me, I take Volvo. Sat in both, nice low seating in S/V90, but yeah, bonnet feels looong.

[@billykid9684]

Great video Mat i have been your fan since carbuyer , would you consider making a review about the new audi A7? I've seen your carbuyer and auto express videos but i feel like you havent really gone through the options and full deapth of the car. Keep up the good work cheers from Finland

[@chopang11]

You guys better try it's seat!! Sooo brilliant!!!! the best leather seat in class

[@alexsutton9522]

The seatbelt tightening basically saved my ass before, kept me in my seat and helped me keep control of my car

[@ebrahimasega7106]

This guy always good 👍👏👌 from Kenya 🇰🇪

[@mendo2quad]

mat is a legend

[@Turbo_G.T.Blackwing63]

Is it me or does every Volvo model have a vertical infotainment screen? Still like it though

[@DaveDVideoMaker]

The plug in hybrid Volvo V90s have kinda the same engine as its rivals (2.0 litre four cylinder).

[@Norrish100]

The hammar is not called mjemje its called MJOELNIR MJØLNIR MJÖLNIR god sakes :D

[@fredfredburger5150]

MEE-OL-NEER

[@movaemo.4098]

Are Volvo’s recommended?

[@MiniIand]

Have you got your Silver Play Button yet, Mat?

[@ForgetfulFoot]

Love the look of the new volvos. But when will we get a small saloon or a new c30. Plus I want more polestar and Swedish racing green.

[@mux2007ch]

Thank you for that lovely review. Really enjoyable. Gonna buy it - since I like the it's a bit Volvo... after a 650 from BMW that was just strong on a straight line and sporty on the paper.

[@TheSuperMotoHooligan]

The leather adds a thousand pounds? Those were some heavy cows....

[@emilhristov4949]

hey Mat its gone be really helpful when you use dose app for noise (db) how quite its really evry cars you make a review or tell us...

[@wwbdwwbd]

The rear looks better in real life and acceptably good. Still, it'd be nice if Volvo could tweak it a bit.

[@Tidepool]

Why was a 2018 model year car posted in 2016?

[@moevmoe]

Please review the Renault talisman! The interior is quite similar to this!

[@johnedgard861]

It looks bloody fantastic.

[@lyen2801]

really strange, it's Chinese version is not so quite as other cars like audi A6 or BMW 5 series, when you say it's so quite, UK version

[@Scythra]

4:04 the easter egg in this video is the Swedish supermarket IKEA :D

[@jugostran]

I watched an episode of whats inside, and then left my computer to autoplay and eventually somehow got to North Korea and this video.

[@picklesrule69]

Wow that volvo looks amazing

[@dvs5047]

Most people buy Audi , BMW or Mercedes but if i have choice then I would definitely pick that Swedish thing Volvo

[@petrolhead992]

Matt you do the best jokes about cars and spreads ahahah

[@HRINACAR]

New Sound? New Camera? New Mic? :)

[@AltarenGalil]

Its surprisingly cheap for the amount of car you get!

[@jugostran]

Matt is sad because they did not give him Inscription Model.

[@DuckTheGeese]

Can you do the new 2017 Mazda 3 next?

[@arlind530d]

Why did they make it so colossal

[@callumgreen258]

Looks great inside and out but the front lights look very similar to the new Audi A6 lights

[@niclasjonsson9070]

It was several years ago that Volvo showed the Thor's hammer lights for the first time. Hence, Audi A6's lights are similar to Volvo's.

[@skyhigheagleer6]

So you can slouch in the back of a Volvo but in the Mondeo you reviewed it's a game changer that a 6ft chaps head may touch the roof.

[@imal360]

I like the ikea on the spare wheel

[@DavidMiddleton101]

Any T8 reviews coming up?

[@kdr4684]

This car support ambient lighting

[@nosurrender4321]

Never knew these existed until a black one of these flew past me today. It had been debadged so I had no idea what it was at first but it looked like a muscle. Volvo seriously stepped there game up recently but I'm Disappointed they don't have any bigger/petrol engines and there doesn't seem to be any tuning available yet. Could have been a bad ass muscle car

[@ezrapardede1921]

why most the car you tested got black interior ? its hiding what it actually look like

[@thegoon459]

wait an ikea manual? does that mean i have to assemble the car myseslf?

[@kazraj3591]

4 pot engine a No No , fine for a few years but nasty after and when it’s done 70k plus lugging that body size around forget it it’s over..

[@cyrus6560]

Well.. Volvo is my favorite. Where do you get you music?

[@rykalpictures5133]

Awesome car.. n best review ever!

[@a.m.417]

Mat, you're just being naughty. I therefore like your presentation because, in addition to the humor, you are very well prepared technically. Thank you 😉👍

[@michaelherron4306]

Any update on the 996? Did ye get it sorted yet?

[@confinez555]

Why does volvo nowadays turn into Mercedes and those bmw and mercedes from below the e class/5 series starts to getting more mini cooper/ish they are so uncomfy nowadays. But the volvo just getting more comfy every class of them

[@davecrawley4634]

They will smash it when they make a coupe with that front end.

[@elliotn7122]

Can you do the Volvo s90 r-design automatic

[@borisyurinov4822]

After 4 years of watching car wow I only now kind of noticed his last name would make him Sherlock Holmes sidekick

[@victorchan2887]

2:08 That's seriously heavy Nappa leather.

[@GamingMaster13]

Looking to buy this Volvo (it costs around 32,000 EUR)

[@MichaelNNguyen]

My grandparents would like this car.

[@TassieLorenzo]

It's like a more fancy Honda Legend (RLX). :)

[@MichaelNNguyen]

You're right, looks like a 2016 Honda Civic.

[@TassieLorenzo]

M I C H A E L ?? :) I mean the philosophy.

[@emililorenzo3835]

M I C H A E L fuck you and that thought "volvo is a car for grandpas" ... no ! it's a car for who want a solid, sure, super comfortable and luxury car. i know young people which don't love go fast with cars or the fun don't interest them. in future will arrive the polestar, which make the car very agressive. and also if you want a sport car, you don't buy an E segment car!!!

[@MichaelNNguyen]

relax, it just a car.

[@muhammedhisham7658]

mat please help me out. which ine to pick 2017 e class or 5 series or volvo s90

[@multigel11]

That interior looks like it belongs in the german rivals. The S90 with a white interior would be perfect.

[@Juoppolalli]

Gigel Dormeaza white interior no just no

[@nichtnetterMensch]

At my test drive it made an emergency brake while i was passing standing cars on the turn-off lane left to me. The following car nearly crashed into me. Volvo safety... And yeah - this thing fells incredibly sluggish (D5 version). So i really dont understand the hype.

[@BenzinioB]

So... amazing infotainment... but you quite cant use it on the move... and what is the point then? May be I should stop on the high way every time I want to change the song or change the the temperature?!! What is the point then?! It is function that matter not the size of the screen! ...and yes it looks amazing at the front but the back is definitely on the ugly side, as well as profile - the trunk looks too big and visually put too much weight on the back ruining the silhouette.

[@MrHitman246]

S90 is like mcdonald's, Nobody assume but everybody like it!

[@Underhills]

That car has an interior complex.

[@Nixima81]

They look a bit like a mix between there old c70 sport and a newer Bentley.

[@Outland9000]

The only thing that bugs me about Volvo these days is the engine choices.

[@saxzphone]

Who cares if you are first to comment, it's a load of bollocks. Fantastic review again Matt, keep up with good work.

[@zegervavw8539]

Hoe de taal wijzigen ?

[@mr_frankblack]

What's with this guys obsession with 'cubby spaces'?

[@ElGadafi]

Audi A6 front

[@hks071]

Why buy this when u can get xc60 which has more space and looks better imo

[@CipherOS]

This car reminds me model s inside

[@AryzenI]

I love this car, but I hate Nutella. I also love the rear end, but I *love* marmite...
