You speak the absolute truth about the overcomplexity of these power trains with almost zero upside. Have owned two T6 S90s, I love everything about the cars EXCEPT what propels it. It’s a superior product that’s missing a real engine that would deliver more power in a smoother delivery.

Thanks for making a video on this car! I think it's pretty underrated since people either opt for the S60 or SUV models, but I am really enjoying my 2018 S90. I've put 30k miles on it and it's still running like new. Passengers ride like kings with the massive amount of legroom and the drive quality is great even after years of potholes. Even though it's made in China, it's held up pretty well on daily drives. Great vid!

Thanks for reviewing this car that should sell better. Volvo is going full-EV. Every new car introduced form the c40 on will be full-EV. And the c40 is the last of the current generation. The next gen will have a different look to the interior. I hope they knock it out the park like they did with this one. Expectations are high since they did such a fine job with this generation. But, yes, all new Volvos will be EVs. They'll keep updating these current hybrids but they won't make a new-gen ICE or ICE-hybrid Volvo.

People who think it’s engine is a con have never actually driven it, i dont understand how the reviewer got those numbers, the consumption is indeed life changing (especially nowadays), people online and also myself are getting 48 mpg and this car is probably the fastest in it’s class too, a friend of mine who has a T8 XC60 only goes to the gas station once a month, indeed volvo would benefit more from being only eletric but the engine is not overly complicated as well since these kind of motors have been around for quite some time, and a N/A V6? I’m not a car reviewer but I never actually seen a decent N/A V6 apart from say a 370Z engine, which has it’s undecent unrealibilities on it’s own, drove a Dodge Journey and the consumption/engine was really bad, cars like the Hyundai Santa Fe and most of that niche look the same, maybe the honda pilot is the only one who actually looks cool with that engine.

So they have a range of plug in hybrids call the recharge and they will even do 38 miles of pure EV driving but the problem is they use the old styled engine with the belt driven supercharger which is kinda prone to failing. I prefer the electric supercharger this regular S90 has. But this is why I would rather go full EV with a Volvo otherwise I really like it

Didn't even describe it had heated and cooled rear seats. On the infotainment what kinda buttons he would put at the bottom. I guess one is navigation. The price for me is the deal breaker.

The next gen Volvo due out end of this year will be made in the USA for the North American market. Volvos factories are in Sweden, Belgium, China and the USA and some other countries. But the design and engineering are done in Sweden for all of their cars regardless of what factory assembles them. As for the car being made in China, it is what it is. The quality of Chinese-made Volvos is tops. It's the USA made ones that have had some issues but the USA factory is fairly new.
