Alex...thorough and indept review. In just over 6 minutes, I am now familiar with navigating Volvo's infotainment ecosystem compared to 2 hrs with a Volvo salesperson. Thanks much.

Alex-great job as always with your reviews. Because of your work-my wife and I were able to make our purchasing decision that much more easier. We chose to purchase the new XC90 Inscription with the HUD, Wilkinson system and the vision package. We should have it by May-just in time for our first-born to enjoy. Thanks again for all you do!

Alex as always great work

Excellent Review! Well-explained and covering all I was looking for in reviewing Volvo's new touchscreen system.

The GPS picture at 0:40 is from Gothenburg (The hometown of Volvo) and more precisly at Redbergsplatsen heading north to Gamlestaden

The one aspect of the infotainment systems that I wish you would review more is how well the voice command portion works.

I find my screenbrightness too low, is there any way that I can increase the brightness of the screen in the v90?

Awesome

Anyone know if 3D buildings are displayed in the Navigation screens?

Can it play music from USB stick??? I couldn't see the option...

Alex, I love your videos. So thorough. I’m considering a ‘16 XC90 and a ‘17 V90xc - I’ve heard the ‘16XC90 infotainment is “laggy” and that the ‘17 V90xc is not. Can you provide any comments here based on your experience? (I’m coming from recent Lincoln’s where Sync4 has been impressive)

When it will be lada?

What about android auto and apple car play? Volvo give you a sim?

This looks very difficult to use while driving. Some analog presets for climate or radio would be nice. I've read reviews that says this swipe tablet presentation is someone dangerous to try and navigate while driving.

Volvo should bring back buttons for changing the ACC. Shouldn't have to fiddle with a touch screen to do something so basic.

It seems like Volvo has listened to every motoring journalist in the world, when i'm seeing this!

Has anyone had their sensus sCreen go black or stuck in the loading screen?

That screen size is pretty perfect, the screen in the Model S is just overkill and makes no sense.

Nice review! Can you give voice commands to activate interface changes? Eg. Set the temperature / change the radio station / Turn the high beams on? I’m guessing not

Thx

Are there audio presets or favorites? I mean can you switch between an FM station to an XM without going back a step to first switch to XM then search for the station? Seems like there should be a screen with all the presets in touch button form. Very un-Volvo like to have multiple steps to change the station while driving.

Awesome review Alex, so derailed and not a second wasted. This is really by far the best infotainment system, I would say on par with Tesla's. I can understand the finder print issue but we can always wipe it with a tissue, isn't that the same as smart phones? ;-)

Another good review. It would have been good to pare a phone and go through some of those features, and also voice control of the GUI/telematics too. E.g. If you say "I'm hot" the Siri'esque voice politely replies "Cooling to 68 degrees". It impresses passengers! :-D

the screen operating system is awesome, but the material of the screen shows your fingerprints every time you touch which i didnt like !!

there are some kinds of screen protector to reduce the fingerprint

What are the screens sizes for both center and the one on the drivers side?

8:28 - we haven't seen any new systems of any kind in the Infiniti QX70 for about a decade, buddy.

And when you were busy with those screen menus you drove into a tree.

ps- clean the screen before you film your stuff...hard to read. I guess it does show how realistic it will look.

The touch screen seems to not respond correctly. Several times does it not register the touch event correctly. The user needs to press the screen repeatedly to activate a function. E.g. at 1:45 does it not respond to change to "rear climate" settings. The user need to touch the screen three times before it responds. That is not good.

I just had one of these vehicles as a rental when I was on vacation. By far the worst infotainment system I’ve ever used in a car.

On my Subaru, I can change the temperature with one action without even looking. It's a simple, physical knob that twists left and right. With Volvo here, you have to take your eyes off the road, and then take three actions to change the temperature: 1.) Press temp. 2.) Drag temp setting up or down 3.) Then press "Close." How is this an improvement? As far as I can tell, nothing beats three physical knobs for climate control. There are a lot of cars I would never buy because they've made the user interface more complex for no good reason. Volvo and Cadillac seem to be two of the worst offenders.

those navigation maps are fugly ..... they should've just gone the android way hehhehe googlemaps waze is just unbeatable

1. can you watch videos? 2. add additional screens at the back for watching down loaded videos? 3.Use the internet? otherwise I pull that thing out and have an in built tablet with internet connection.

Holy cow he needs to try this screen for a couple weeks. Then I am sure he will jump.

On pps. 165/166 (total 570), 'egress/ingress' under My Car. Tells how one to set--the bolsters are to deflate. Guess what, it's a LIE. The manual is printed for US english language, therefore, it should be available. Too, Navigation is not great; it's view is unacceptable. No details, general. Then if one sets a destination, it does not give the total trip miles on screen, only ETA time. Hate it!

My father absolutely loves this car. However this infotainment will be an issue, as he is the ONLY PERSON in the entire family who still can't figure out how to fully operate his smartphone without guidance. I think this Sensus is a great infotainment system; the response time is something Cadillac CUE can probably take notes from. I personally prefer touchscreen units as the German fascination with dials is not the best system for inputting numbers/letters when it comes to addresses.

No doubt Volvo has taken inspiration from Tesla's infotainment/management system.

I thought it would have Apple CarPlay ?

Ich durfte den VOLVO XC90 vor einiger Zeit mal Probefahren. Ich finde das Infotainmentsystem jetzt nicht so super, da ist das von Audi, VW und Mercedes um einiges besser (Meiner Meinung nach) auch wenn ich ein Handy per Bluetooth Verbinden will, bis ich da den Knopf gefunden hab oder wenn ich zb, meine Musik als Quelle Bluetooth ausgeben will ging es auch eine ganze Weile was ich doch sehr schade finde, das kann man echt besser machen.

Alex All the finger smudges on the screen yikes My Ford touch does not do that

The worst information system. Lazy design. How can you touch those screen to change temperature when you drive for example.

SLOOOW DOWN !!!!!!! WAY WAY TO FAST !!!!!!
