Remember back in the day when they all used to be 'Ford'?

Funny, putting a Ford Fusion against an S90.

When you desire a jaguar, but realise the Volvo is much nicer all around. I drove an S60 through Sweden a month ago, the automatic transmission was a breeze to operate and everything felt so smooth and nice.

Now that I've seen a couple of S90s on the street I have to say it's got great presence. It feels long and low, the lines are elegant. A prettier car than the E class or 5 series, I think. Perhaps that's partly that it still looks new and fresh - yet with nothing in the body design that seems gimicky.

S90 is just amazing in and out, I saw one and the back isn't really that bad they were just trying to do something different.

Im broke and watching this wtf

Should have been S90 vs E Class vs New 5 Series

i think the Ford has turned up to the wrong video 📹 by mistake,

The Jaguar XF and XE handle better than any equivalent German car today. As a 4 series owner, the XF is far more agile than the 3/4/5 series. The steering is awesome and taut. The suspension is sporty yet comfortable-- something the Germans are struggling to do. These two are class leading in this area. Jaguar just need to improve the interior and reduce the NVH in the cabin, and it becomes a no brainer in these segments.

why not mondeo vs passat vs insignia ?

What is the Ford doing here, it is not premium

S90 all the way!

The jag seems to have a colour matching issue between the front grille area and the metallic bonnet. the difference in colour is massive

i just have to say how much i love those Swedish seats!!! they're so thin and have slender profile but don't compromise in comfort. they look sporty, and a bit futuristic, like one of those hardcore gamers chairs. it's just unlike anything in the competition. and just look at the flag motif along the edge. it's so striking. it definitely gets my vote of confidence! 👌

Fair review. It is crazy what revival volvo did with 90 series.

Love the reviews matt nicely refreshing

3:51 he named his iphone "stupidly large phone" xd.

Heart says Jaguar Brain says Volvo Wallet says Regular Mondeo

I rented a volvo S90 D4 inscription friday to monday. Omg... ever since that I really only dream of having one myself. I arrived at a party that friday and lots of great mercs and bmw were parked there... but... the s90 stole the show. Some had brand new red sporty mercs... but they actually was saying "driving a merc is a show-off... driving a Volvo S90 is a statement. I felt like I was the smart guy with brains... omg! I so wanna buy a new Volvo S90

I am very happy with my Vignale, mine has the large hatchback which is huge

The new XF is awesome. Great performance and looks. Will you be reviewing the new XJ? It's an astonishing car and very expensive.

guys you did s vs 7 series vs a8 can you do now xj vs quattroporte vs lexus ls please 😂

3:53 - 'Stupidly Large Phone' Very subtle Mat!

What a refreshing and honest review - and you can never go wrong with a bit of Carry On Carwow innuendo😀 I don't suppose Mat can ever win - he picks the Volvo but the screamers about British bias are silent. Never mind, we still get to be informed for the umpteenth time that Jaguar is owned by TATA...because it really matters... and obviously Mat has no idea of the fact.

Would still buy the Mondeo because there’s more to me than the badge I drive. The Mondeo does everything more than well enough and doesn’t speak for me.

Years ago I drove the XF and I loved it, what a progress this was for Jaguar.

fair review Matt.

I am a Jag fan, but the Volvo is a nobrainer here. I mean, cmon, it destroys every car in it's class in every way. Price ✔ Looks ✔ Performance ✔ Build quality ✔ I mean it's a fucking dream came true

i like your car reviews

3:52 Look at the name of the phone :D

the volvo is so handsome, the new XF become rather outdated.

It would be interesting to see what the 3 cars on the road price would be once you have totted up all the options to spec them to the same level of the Ford. I drive an XF and know how expensive the upgraded infotainment is, along with parking assistance etc, all are standard on the Mondeo. Having sat in the new S90 inscription I would definitely take one over my XF but if I wasn't such a brand snob I would be foolish to over look the Ford. That Ford will be an excellent second hand buy in 3 years time and will be half the price of the other two cars. Yes my car is rear wheel drive but it hardly invites you to get the back end out and attack country lanes. The volvo is the best set up for the type of buyer these cars are aimed at as comfort and refinement are priority for the sort of person who will be considering these. Although I can guarantee that anyone looking to buy a large luxury saloon won't even consider the Mondeo. A shame as I have no doubt that its a well equipped and capable car, but foolish of Ford to price it so close to these two without the image. They should have done what Citroën have done with the DS and lose the Ford branding completely and at least made it look different from the Mondeo with a redesigned front end and rear. Its a nice enough shape to get away with just cosmetic changes to make it look a different car to the normal Mondeo without creating a whole new platform.

S90 , a very easy choice !

Its quite rare that there isn't a german car in review

The S90 Excellence, however, is a la S-Class.

Last time I checked, people were comparing the Vignale to the A4, 3 Series and XE (allthough they don't belong to the same class). Stepping it up a class might be a bit hard for such a car. On the other hand, the Vignale comes with leather-wrapped seats (optional on the XF and the S90), sat-nav (also optional for the others), and even massage seats. Of course, if you're a badge snob, then go and buy an XF, but it'll have halogen headlights and 16 inch alloy wheels for the same price as the Vignale. The Ford is the most reliable out of the three (Volvo isn't what it used to be), and, despite featuring an inferior badge, it has the best balance between cost and features.

Next time you get a Volvo, may I suggest trying to get an R-design, as although it is only trim level, it is a totally different car, it's set up completely different than to say the momentum. This is also true for the olds models, r-design vs se lux for example.

Ford Mondeo is a great car..I want it...great comparative

the jaguar looks like its from 2005

"It's not necessarily the size that matters, it's what you do with it that counts". Trying to tell us something Matt? ;)

all 3 cars a good enough but the s90 maybe not as sportier to drive but its just class and modern looking.

I thought that the V90 is a rival for XJ, S-Class and BMW 7 series... But has a incredible price

3:53. Lol why does it say "Stupidly large phone". I am pretty sure that was customized by Matt or someone else, but in the end it's a bit funny.

Could you do a review of the Volvo's big brother the XC-90, it's become kind of dream family car and I'd like to get to know it better. Thanks.

Its a disgrace for volvo to be compared with a jaguar and a FORD

I did not expect Ford will be so expensive or Volvo will be so cheap.

The Jaguar prices start where Ford prices end. Seems kind of unfair comparison there then.

The R-Design Volvo S90 will be out soon, hopefully you will do a review on that? The S90 T8 has 400HP so will we ALOT faster than the ones before it. Thanks.

Matt 6 series gran coupe vs A7 vs CLS please

To all the people hating on the ford.. that's the only brand which has a good market share in europe amongst the other american brands.

Didn’t realise the Mondeo came in saloon form now !

Matt will you review the passat b8

Where.was.this film.and when? It seems like its summer.

The seats in the Ford are gorge

Why didn't you show the MPG for the Ford?

He talks about the small piece of paper plastic in the Ford Fusion and Jaguar, but not that huge nasty dash on the Volvo wtf

"You want a diesel engine and automatic gearbox" No I most certainly don't.

Make a review of the e63 amg please 😱

I can't get over how uneven the panel gaps on the Jaguar look from different angles, it just looks cheap, especially the gap behind the rear doors. Also the interior design reminds me of a Toyota Corolla, and the materials look really cheap. The original XF looked so much better inside.

The jaguar is nice but it looks the same as the old one, Mondeo is lovely but the S90 is so much nicer, looks amazing and the quality is superb.

Carwow, can you please do a video on cars for new drivers?

What's next? Two luxury cars vs a honda accord?

Interesting review especially cause all 3 used to be owned by Ford

is the S90 better than the E class and the new 5 series?

You talk about quality but I notice in every saloon car from a Jaguar XF to a BMW 3 series they don't carpet the upper side of the boot, just leave it bare metal whereas the Mondeo is not typically a saloon, being mostly 5dr or estate but in the 4dr variant they actually bother to carpet it.

I love my 2018 Mondeo Titanium 2 litre 240 b.h.p. I also love my 5 litre Jaguar XK. I paid £18000 for the Mondeo in 2018 when it was a few months old with just over 3000 miles on the ‘clock’. It has full leather seats, tyre pressure sensors, lane sensor, start stop, rear camera, heated seats, electric adjustable seats, LED lights, electric heated mirrors, electric heated windscreen, automatic gearbox/paddle shift, keyless entry, radar cruise control so limits how close you can get to the car in front, automatic high beam dip etc. I would love to know how much the Jag and Volvo would cost with the same specifications not to mention servicing and replacement parts.

Can (Volvo on call) be installed on the models who don’t have it?

If the idea was to promote some other premium cars than German, then instead of Ford, there should be some Lexus car, then this comperison would be appropriate!

Lovely!

Ford Mondeo Vignale is the modern version of a Mercury Topaz LS/Ford Tempo LX. Now imagine a 1987 Topaz LS going up against a W-124 Mercedes 250 D, Audi 5000 and Volvo 740GLE 😂

Crazy that up until recently these were all Ford brands.

Dont forget this is carwow, goto carwow, you can safe on carwow, please goto carwow, CARWOW CARWOW CARWOW, we get it!!!!

Interesting comparison, but here in the US the Fusion, even the top sport version, which I think is closes to the one in this video, would not be considered a direct competitor for the other two.

Spot on Mat. S90 wins for me too

Why not try rolling starts to negate the 4wd advantage so we can see the real difference on engine power?

I drive the lower tier American version of that Ford (Fusion) and it does well for me, but I'm poor. If money were no object though, it would be Volvo all the way. Those seats look great, and the touchscreen looks fabulous.

5:32 Roger, Matt. I guess I'm not getting it since 3some in the back is my top criteria

Next review: Mercedes a45 mag, Audi rs3, bmw, m1 and... Ford Focus?

White interior with wooden dashboard is great on S90

What phone do you use to call it stupidly large?

Shocking review its clear to see the Jaguar is way better on all fronts, you didn't explain the proper driving moods and stuff to busy sounding like Clarkson...

Dont like the back end of the Jag, prefer the older one tbh

It’s funny how similar the jag and Volvo look from their sides

Love the seats of volvo...it is just super comfy

The innuendos lol

Soon you 'll can put a the DS brand with the new DS7 suv

Next comparison : - Rolex Cellini - Patek Philippe Calatrava - Daniel Wellington Classic ST

is Ford not build in Germany?

In my opinion those small plastic rims make the XF look a bit cheap from the side

Can you do an Infiniti q70

Carwow need to learn that cars that only come with 2 liter engines are not premium.

What was Jaguar thinking, warming up the last XF again, instead of designing a new car. Did they not understand why people loved the first XF, simply because it was a daring new look after making the same car for 30 years? Just building the same car again for 30 years but with a 2007 design is going to be a terrible decision.

6:02 that's what she said, jk but srsly Mat wtf lol? "Vinn Yuhle" I thought it was pronounced "Vig-Neyl" -_- also, how the hell did it reach this class? it's a ford after all and it's not even close to the XF or S90... XF is old, let's see what Volvo does when the XF gets updated, I'm sure it will roast the S90. S90 clearly was the winner before the video even started... Wish the comparison was more like a: Lexus GS vs Volvo S90 vs ???? Some Lincoln/Cadillac model, or just an XF

Volvo S90 R design is a killer, beautiful and big personality.

I know they’re simalar price, but the vignale was a bit out of place. It’s more a bmw 3 series rival than a 5 series.

ill take the Jag by a slight edge over the Volvo, at the end of the day its the badge that counts plus its rear-wheel drive

Matt, when are you joining Top Gear? They could do with a decent presenter.

Personally if I have the money in the United States it has to be the Volvo S90. The Jaguar XF look dated as hell and the Ford Fusion may be good because of a normal sedan but having a premium trim(I'm glad we don't have it in the United States) seems pointless to get.

Not fair for the Mondeo, should of had base model like the other cars on test.

Throwing the Mondeo in there is like comparing a VW Passat to an E- Class and Audi A6.. also a very good car but really not quite up there....
