Facts same with the XC90, Volvo’s design language been aging like fine wine

@@jjax3661 exactly

Volvos have always aged pretty well, but their current design language is *chefs kiss*

its a great design inside out. The only thing they could improve on is the tail lights. Those don't look that great IMO.

@@jjax3661 yeah I love the XC90 look

This cost around $100,000 in my country lol

Agreed. Volvo should engineer a turbocharged straight six or V6 for their larger cars. The 2.0T is fine for most of their smaller ones, like the XC40/60, and the S/V60.

@@Lucky8s True. Now they've commited to an all electric future, so this might be there last ICE

@@Lucky8s They have already. They had turbocharged inline 5 and 6 cylinder engines. They dropped them. It was a company decision they made. The s60 had 5 and 6 cylinders in it and even the s40 had a turbo 5 in it when the 2nd gen came out in 2005.

It would be much less economical. They chose i4 + electric to save weight. i6 with electric motor doesn't make sense, even new C63 is 4pot + battery.

If the C40 is any indication...nope.

@@vomErsten The c40 is a chopped xc40. The real indication will be the next-gen xc90 due to be introduced next year.

@@benjaminsmith2287 Architecturally, that is what it is. They took the effort to revamp the styling, however, and it is a distinct departure from the XC40 in that regard. To believe that isn't indicative of where they are going is naive.

Every other automaker can make them safely.

I think they should make them electric. It's time to do that. They can do it safely.

@@cptmiche how do you know? I am pretty sure there is good reason behind that

@@mho0 the good reason I'm willing to bet on is "money". Its way cheaper to make them manual. As for safety its pretty obvious, imo. You're replacing a manual lever with a motor. Both are behind an airbag, regardless.

@@cptmiche I cannot proof you would be wrong :). I found this somewhere and so far I have believed it: "The manual adjustment is due to safety design. The engineers were not able to get the steering column and mechanisms to collapse out of the way in a frontal crash with an electronically adjustable unit, given wiring harnesses and connections. The manual column completely snaps and drops under, and out of harms way." That also indicates it is not only about airbag. Maybe Volvo figures out some day how to do it so that it satisfies their safety standards. I also believe that Volvo's internal safety standards are pretty close the best in the world ... but this feature would anyway be nice...

Lincolns are avant-garde too

Haha its funny you say that. I have a continental black label (white with Blue rhapsody) I actually love it and anyone who bashes it actually has not been in the top trim. Im picking up a S90 Rdesign t8 this week. The lincoln is classier but Volvos more high tech. I also have a 2020 v60, so not new to the modern Volvos. I will miss my conti, but ready for something differnt.

yes chinese tech rules

We'll be ready to launch 4K by end of May! Stay tuned.

I thought u was the only one noticing it 😅😅

4k is pointless

Is 4K seriously that necessary?

I see what you did there.

Really, I think that's the major issue with the vehicle. People want smooth engines in this segment and a 4 cylinder doesn't cut it for many people in this segment.

The T6 or B6 is the only engine offered and has more torque and HP than the BMW’s and Mercedes base engines.

King, Queen or Twin?

@@Ballista762 shut up

Is it anything in particular that isn’t reliable on them? Electronics or engine?

Must be since the starting of Volvo made in china tag.

@@kluklukluklukluklu1716 well they did cancel the merger with Geely. So they are staying independent from the China company with most NOT built in China.

@@MrChadder007 Built in China or not doesn't matter. If anything, the built in China ones are better in quality than the Euro-built ones. They're mostly stamped by machine anyway. People need to get over the stigma of built in China. It's nothing new though. For years built in Korea, Thailand, Taiwan, even Japan many years ago was considered "junk." It'll change in time.

@@MrChadder007 I have 15tkm with V60. So far no issues, but feel pretty perfect and well built car. Of course car is still quite new.

BECAUSE THAY ARE CHINA OWNED/ MADE GARBAGE

Volvos are lame & look boring.

@@DigitalDissident cap

@@DigitalDissident boring? Drive the s60 maybe that will impress you

Because They been known as having a poor reliability

Just take it as a normal gas car. They put the electric motor on it for the incredibly insane 400 hp.

Well of course a fully electric vehicle will have longer electric range then a hybrid...

Can your bolt go 0-60 under 4.8 sec and how big is it lol

A lot of fwd transverse vehicles have double wishbone front suspension.

I think he means compared to other manufacturers that are putting bigger screens.

Over time you will learn that he has these little idiosyncrasies like that and his obsession with panoramic roofs and German cars.

When all your competitors are going to 12" or larger, you can't help but notice the screen on the S90 to be looking a tad small. In the space, tech is extremely important!

We're planning to finish upgrading our equipment by end of May. We will be switching to 4K at that time as well.

😂😂

sewing machine with 400hp would be nice

@@bbtubi Pass. 400hp from a real engine is much better, smoother, etc.

😅😂

Yes. For clarification, Volvo Polestar models are limited to 114 mph. However, Polestar 1 and Polestar 2 Polestar models are not.

Heico can lift that cap for you. Bigger issue is their atrocious transmission tuning and removal of shift paddles; completely ruins the sporting aspirations of the S60 all by itself.

*weak

Literally everyone else has a 4 cylinder tho......

@@tyusrobinson9869 It is not their only option that is were Volvo went wrong and lost a lot of customers

@@paulbikle3791 Now they are moving to EV only as will everyone else except the Asians.

@@paulbikle3791 most cars have i4 now. It about MPG now

Couldn't agree more about the G80. Stunning car.

You're definitely right on that, they have nearly 4+ or more buttons on their door versus the driverside-rear. I'm surprised he skipped providing the proper information about the full vehicle...I think he's loosing his touch.

I recall reading that they did it for anesthetics. They thought Americans like the red better. Stupid, IMHO.

It’s electric it’s going to cost you regardless.

Last checked they dont build the contanital any more. So the contanital is a irrelevant car

This looks better than Lincoln imo

That’s what he meant lol he mixes words sometimes

His statements were correct. The S90 is Volvo's largest car. The XC90 is it's largest SUV.

@@tbtreal he specifically says it's larger than the XC90.

Other cars have had fully digital gage clusters loooooong before Volvo. Like, decades ago. And more recently, the Fiat 500 had an all-digital cluster before Volvo.

Oh god my grandmother has a Xc90. My dad is coming out of a 2019 Audi A8, and he’s thinking about one of the plug in hybrid S90’s. Hopefully it’s reliable.

Where is the proof?? Where the official statement about that?

@@mrjean9376 www.google.com/amp/s/mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idUSTRE66S1TC20100802 Geely has owned Volvo since 2010 but only began refreshing the lineup in 2016. So any Volvo vehicle made in 2015 or older is Swedish, while any Volvo vehicle made in 2016 and newer is Chinese

@@marco.morel04 made in Belgium

@@AllRezo Up until 2019, the Belgium plant couldn’t keep up with demand so they shifted production to their Chinese plant in Luqiao, China.

@@AllRezo S90's are built in China. The XC40 is built in Belgium

*Cough* Tesla *cough* *cough*

@@theniceones1613 At least plaid is much more powerful than regular model 3s. Volvo just use that same engine in every car lol.

@@franksun4017 your original comment has been denied

@@theniceones1613 lmao, I’m not saying Teslas are making different cars by any mean.

Absolute nonsense. Talking regarding rubbish. 4 cylinder engines are easily capable of twice round the clock if cared for & looked after!! Not too mention far more economical then v6 & bigger gas guzzlers!
