Volvo V90 v BMW 5 Series Touring v Mercedes E-Class Estate 2018 | Head2Head

Premium estate cars: style shouldn't come at the expense of practicality, but in order to compete at the top of the class, a car needs to deliver on both fronts. The BMW 5 Series Touring, Mercedes E-Class Estate and Volvo V90 are three of the most handsome and capable posh wagons money can buy, but which should you choose? To find out, I'm going to give them a thorough going-over inside and out, before hitting the road in each to find out which is best.

Good test. I bought the e estate myself and it's almost identical to this one. I also optioned the two rear facing xtra seats in the boot which gives it so much more flexibility on the school run, I don't think BMW or Volvo do that. Great all rounder, wonderful over long distance, have done 600 miles in one day and it's great. Only real disappointment is that it has so far over 20k miles only averaged 42mpg which is almost identical to what my 04 2.7 merc CLK averages!! Thought it might be better:/

I've had two 5s which I quite liked, then an E-class which while great to drive, the command system is a nightmare which after two years I was glad to see the back of. Have had a V90 for two months and it is the best of the three by a country mile. The interior is fabulous and the ride/handling way better than anything comparable. Engine the weakest of the three is a bit rattly at low speed. Kit is amazing. Boot has this flap device thing that when folded up secures numerous bags of shopping...Pilot assist/ACC is epic..thr app will do everything remotely and download business miles as an esv file etc..But bottom line is used V90 is several £1000 cheaper...

[@vakasm8227]

[@markdaoud8391]

Matt, with all due respect and this is the second time i am mentioning this, you are not right on the touch pad controller, you do not need to angle your arm or hand you can rest it on the touch pad and when it notices your arm / hand resting on it, locks the touch pad and you can use the controller with no issue at all. In addition you have the voice activation system which I must say is definitely getting better and better. I have 5 - 6 Mercedes and all with the touch pad and all current models so I am aware of how it works.

[@hasanal-habbobi4018]

Louis Rushbrook "you can barely tell the difference" *if you're blind They don't lokk identical. They look SIMILAR. Huge difference! And its only the e class and c class that look similar. If you couldn't already tell by the massive size s class has a COMPLETLY DIFFERENT front grill grill. S class has three curve headlights, e class 2 and c ckass one. S class has thrre tail lights whereas c and e have 2. They all have different front and rear diffusers from each other. Not to mention... S class has far more chrome and more pronounced depth and proportions especially for its light carvings and shoulder's. And the interiors are massively different So yes while they undeniably share similar design language they are still very much distinguishable. Bmw and audi do this too because by your logic 5 series looks lkke mini 7 series and a4 looks like mini a6 just with different lights. So nearly all German companies do this. Frankly there is nothing wrong with this design philosophy as sales suggest. These cars are meant to be under the radar... Hence the concept of stealth wealth.. . so by being similar they blend in well and allow the car not to be flashy. Furthermore this kind of design philosophy is good also because if they looked completly different for instance and someone didn't like the design of the e class they might give up the e classes better interior for a c class or go to another company altogether. So its actually not a bad thing at all and isn't like how you're exaggerating it.

this is a bit offtopic, but I thought I need to ask someone about buying a car. I was looking to buy a used car from this german online platform. I found one and the price is very low with few kms on the dash The seller says that the engine was replaced by maker when it had 100K and that this can be proved. What kind of situations would require the engine change? Also, if this engine is brand new, should it increase the value of the car OR should I treat it as a 100K car? I mean, when I look to compare this car to other similar make&model, should I compare it with cars that have over 100K (as the old engine had) OR cars that have as much as the new engine on this one has?

The infotainment is really easy and intuitive to use after spending a day with it.. on eco mode im averaging 46mpg URBAN!

E class has the best interior The 5 Series has the best exterior The V90 is best all around

This comment is probably going to be deleted but whatever, BMW looks better than the Volvo Sorry Matt

[@windyturtle737]

Muaz Qamar Lmao

[@ajosanchez1]

Muaz Qamar I, 100%, agree with you sir. The BMW looks really really good.

[@AnEasyGuy22]

and a lot better than the merc

[@leonm2585]

Muaz Qamar Those taillights are a dealbreaker

[@bill7481]

Muaz Qamar I agree with you. The main problem with the Merc is those fake air vents. Manufacturers are obsessed with them these days. I just don't get it. They make any car look unfinished.

[@jacobaxelson5813]

The Merc can also be remote controlled in and out of parking spaces... Weird that you didn't mention that.

[@fleuger99]

I just bought an E450 estate here in the US. I'd have gone for the BMW 5-series if they sold them here in the US. I love the E450 though. Tons of space and nice driving dynamics as long as one doesn't push it too much.

[@adventurescotland]

I never understood why some companies don’t sell estates in the USA. A big loss think but I would call it ignorance and arrogance by the manufacturer.

Bmw on the other hand looks stunning in and out. Inside it is by far the nicest and the infotainment system is by far the best in the business

[@mahmoudmufleh458]

No it's the volvo

[@melntb]

Thanks so much for this review. It’s exactly what I was looking for as I’m interested in a luxury wagon. Which did you feel was the quietest inside the cabin while driving?

[@enai-lo]

Mercedes E class is the quietest. But those 3 are really really quiet. Even quieter if you take the acoustic glass available in options on those 3. But the difference in sound insulating between those 3 little. The only thing you will hear is tire noise and that depend on your tire but even with Noisy tire it's still so quiet. And as standard those cars have excellent tire so not a problem at all. Choose one and you will not be disappointing, those are one of the best car to drive more miles as possible in best confort and silence you can find

[@Disabled85]

Hi man because of your great videos I bought myself the Mercedes-Benz E200. And I may say iam impressed! Grtz

[@nilreb]

the swedish car magazine 'vi bilägare' had the same cars in for test and they came out: 1st 5 Series 2nd V90 3rd: E-Class

[@philipj7431]

Jakob Sachse hur fan kan e klass komma sist förklara gjärna

[@sakariaskarlsson634]

I think the new 5 series is by far the best of these, its basically next gen in everything, and weak at nothing

[@ianforrest]

I agree, but my goodness they take a lot of learning. Thank goodness for KZbin.

[@Ruchir1712]

Mat, why are you shoving your phone in the exhaust vent? You just got a new phone! 😂😂😂

[@insertrandomusernamhere4209]

just get an s90 r design and the gearbox problem is gone as it has paddle shifters lower centre of gravity and sportier seats all tho im not sure if the gearbox is sharper or not.

[@ferrarijunkie9895]

Volvo looks the best. Especially in R design trim!! And bursting blue

[@ferrarijunkie9895]

Well take yourself to Google images and you'll be able to see why☺

[@mrk-vn9qu]

Ferrari Junkie 5 series obviously looks more aggressive and sportier

[@ferrarijunkie9895]

Olof Hansson Thankyou! Some people are just so mean spirited and don't have anything else going on unfortunately.

[@jimrod307]

Well they've chosen the more aggressive looking variant of the 5-Series, the equivalent Volvo is equally aggressive - wpmedia.driving.ca/2017/06/dsc_4581.jpg?quality=70&strip=all&w=960&h=480&crop=1

Looking for a new car at the moment and it's most likely going to be a decision between these 3 - but I just can't decide! They're all lovely cars really

[@karannchew2534]

Which one did you get at the end?

[@justjosh11]

@@karannchew2534 what a blast from the past this is! Ended up with a nearly new V60 on 7k miles, list price £46k but bought for £27.5k. Inscription spec with intellisafe, xenium, winter packs, polestar optimisation, Harman kardon audio, loads of goodies! Actually looking to sell it now as need a cheaper car, expensive times! Otherwise bloody brilliant car

[@Optimus79Prime]

Great comparison!

[@MrTomek1112]

The Volvo is ever so pretty. I absolutely adore it.

[@adamelhawari166]

That Merc looks like a hearse, the Volvo is just gorgeous

[@tuvigrosskopf4045]

also on the BMW, it has another feature for the boot, if your hands are full of stuff then you can open it by using your foot, place your foot under the bumper, that's another way of opening it.

[@turtlebaysup9539]

Great test! For me it's the Volvo, but the CC version.
