Currently driving the V60 D4 Inscription model with 200HP and it is amazing. I'm loving every trip in it, and it feels luxurious but still quick if you want it that way. I absolutely can't get enough of the sound and feeling when you close the door from the outside, but also the feeling of the handles when you open it from the inside. 10/10 would recommend.

Classy vehicles and I'm glad they've stayed invested in estates/wagons. Very practical without becoming bulbous and chunky. A land yatch vs a land cruise ship (estate vs suv for the most part). More cuts in the first minute than a Jason Bourne fight scene. I do miss more stationary camera with more time lingering and holding on shots instead of the frequency of pans and shuffles, but I'm probably in the minority there. Excellent comparison again, very technical and impartial.

I have a custom ordered 2021 V90 in USA, I love it very much, every feature checked, except I opted for the T5. Better gas mileage and fuel range, less future problems with drivetrain. I travel a lot, and do no go offroading much and I live in a tropical climate, south florida. T5 for me!
The V60 is definitely the winner. And that R-design package is a perfect combination. I drive the XC60 version of the same car and after one year of ownership, I can say I am 100% happy with it!

Intresting comparison with all the details! One thought though. Since you clearly stated that the extra length was mostly added to the trunk I think you should have mentioned that the angle of the window of the tailgates make the V90 not that big as it appears if you measure at the floor level. If you want to load big stuff like moving boxes or a dog cage it's easier to fit the V60 than the V90 due to the angle of the rear window. So the V60 is smaller, but it's easier to utilize all the space than in the V90. But I made the tailgate for the V60 so i might be a little biased though ;)

Ja I know Thomas, this is 3 years old but for many this is more important than new cars so here we are. I went from an older model S60 (2009) to a (2013) S80 and the difference is huge. I keep looking at the V90's in the cross country trim (nice ride height and easy to get in and out of) and it does not need to be more than the T5 version (250hp) from the earlier models so they have not been limited yet on top speed. I like that you cross checked the seats and the cloth/leather in which they came and I will be using that as a reference. Thanks again, this video is really handy:)

For the effort you put into every video, the production value and research you do before presenting us every car with such detail, you deserve way more subscribers. Add to that the fact that English is not your first language and the work you do becomes even more impressive. To be honest I'm the sort of person who prefers a bit more drama and ludicrous commentary like Top Gear, but I have come to understand that when one actually wants to buy a car, you need a more sober approach and people presenting and explaining in detail, like you are doing here on YT. As for your question, I would prefer the V90 out of the two, even with the lower trim level because it looks better, more elegant and majestic on the outside, and the interior is just awesome. That being said, for around 90,000 euro (what the hell!) I would get a 5 series BMW with all the bells and whistles. Sorry, Volvo but in that price range you've placed your car in the firing line of some of the biggest names in the business. Best wishes to you and the team behind this great content. Fan from Macedonia.

I feel Volvo is pandering to a generation who think they know all about sustainability, but don’t actually know wool and leather are animal by products. No reason why both options can’t sit alongside the new offerings.

In 2019 V60 was option for me but still went with CR-V. V60 is very nice, almost perfect car, the only issue I had was small trunk size, not much better than my previous civic. V90 could compensate for that but costs significantly more. Now I think these phev versions are too expensive. V60s in B3/B4, diesel or gasoline, are currently real bargains for the price.

It is more efficient than my last car, at least.

Thank you very much for your interest in this topic. As a start, please tune in to what the animal leather industry tried to do here with our channel: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIHCdKmCocZ5oqs In general, depending on the animal skin grade, the animals are specifically raised for this matter. However even if meat would be the reason no.1 in other cases, the hide remains one of the most profitable body parts. That means: If manufacturers put animal leather in a car and you accept it as a customer, you give your money to an industry that earns money by oppressing humans, animals and destroys the environment, you make them more profitable. Also, if you turn the argument around "meat is the waste of the leather industry" you realize how biased the argument is. After all, would you care for which body part you would murdered? Or imagine someone robs you on the street and beats you to death - would it matter to you if it was for your Smartphone or for your purse? The animal agriculture industry occupies 2/3 of all farm land on this planet which cannot be used for direct human nutrition then. That is extremely inefficient. The no.1 cause for deforestation is the animal industry. It is also one of the biggest contributor to climate change. The amount of land, resources, energy and water being used is beyond imagination. If you are interested in how the animals are being treated and transported in the global leather industry, watch this footage: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpzNdHSjppaSbqc Note that the footage is genuine and was recorded by a highly decorated investigative journalist in Germany I know myself personally. For the alternative, you can either use artificial fabrics which can be made from recyclables (we have already shown a lot of vehicles that use great fabric seats from PET-bottles etc.) or more and more also from plant-based materials (like Pinatex). And even if you would create a seat completely with petroleum without a recycling share, the amount of oil being used for that is nothing in comparing just to once fueling up your car. In practical reasons, fabric or microfibre seats are just more useful. You do not sweat in summer and it is not cold in winter. And there are also new leatherette materials available which are superior in every aspect: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2qXiouAbJeIiqM Using animal skin on seats is a major issue of animal rights, human rights - and after all just of common sense what is better both for the environment and just more practical and more luxurious for the customer. We cannot change what we have bought in the past (that also counts for ourselves of course!), but with more information and compassion we can change how we decide in the future.

In a normal car (non-hybrid), I'd definitely agree that STOP/START puts extra strain on the starter motor. But in a hybrid, I wouldn't think it would make much of a difference since it uses the electric motor to start the petrol engine. Thoughts?

I love how the speedo 3 digit counter is not laggy. Same in the Ford Mustang, but not even in the Porsches. What is the RPM at top speed in comfort mode?

Please share a video where you demonstrate the kind of steering feedback you would expect to have. Without a comparable vehicle to use for comparison I guess we have to take your word for it.

I am loving your reviews Thomas, I am in the UK and have just ordered a V90 based on your review here and previous V90 reviews. I do have a question. Did your V90 here come with the laminated glass option? Have you drove V90's with and without this option and does it make a difference for reducing overall sound? Keep up the fantastic work! :) I've thumbed up and as always... SUBSCRIBED!!!!!

I'm just going to go drive my Golf a bit to feel nice, I wish I could afford these luxury estates instead. And thanks VW for not even importing Golf Alltrack where I live. It's like SUVs or go home nowadays for most places, which doesn't quite serve us driving enthusiasts at all. hah! @25:09 the car disagreeing with your comfy temp choices there Thomas, you should be more Scandinavian :-D
