I would like to know if time could be made to review the Maserati MC20, be it Coupe or Darling

When will the Spanish version be uploaded?

thank you for the review, it would be great if you will add short description about the car your make a review, for example - sales start, price range, trunk capacity, in case its electric car expected range on full charge etc. etc. Thanks!

just in the service of the viewers

@@autogefuehl I love that you keep bringing this up. The only hope for change. The new car interiors in the last 2-3 years have become so bad that I think I'll skip getting a new car after doing so every 3 years in the last 15 years.

capacative BS and shiny but scratchy piano lacque need to go. Everyone hates it. For the rest, I really like the simple but elegant and timeless design of this car, and the very nice fabrics.

@@notsorandumusername This Volvo is a very great suv. Comparing it with the Tesla Model X, it costs 50% less (€80k vs €120k), but the Tesla is more efficient, 400 kg less weight. It's a hard choice, but I think the Volvo offers more for way less money.

looks good on Volvo if they keep inviting him back after criticizing (unlike E for Electric and VW)

we tried our best although the studio light was terrible! Thanks so much!

Thank you for the feedback!

Totally agree with your assessment on this. The windows especially, I mean we got spoiled going from manual windows to having easy access!

Beautiful comment I agree with you and I think a lot more do too :D

Go for the kia and save ur money

This is a Chinese car, don't know why you expect swedish design choices.

Always the greatest effort for you!

interesting, thanks for the feedback !

Volvo is not falling behind, it’s KIA who are accelerating

@@jonatandehnisch202 Volvo is fine. They aren't falling behind. Volvo has to work out the software before this and the Polestar 3 can be sold to customers. Though the exterior is conservative, the interior is nicely updated and Volvo is making the car upgradable through software updates which they do well. Kia and Hyundai are doing quite well but they have their hiccups as well. The Volvo is a more luxurious car than the Kia. I won't say it will be more luxurious than a Genesis version of the EV9 if one comes out, however.

I agree Volvo has lost its touch. It's not a luxury car anymore, and that's for more than 100.000€. The finishing of a milk truck

Just seeing how boring the available colors are tells us all we need to know about this model.

You would be way better of with a Kia EV9 it way beyond the expectations of a Kia. World leading in its segment in tech and quality.

hahhaha

I suspect that it will not run with those "eye lights", those are just parking lights: even the DRL are behind it.

agree

Are you joking or serious with the best sound systems?

@@tejakszhave you missed the bowers and Wilkins system? It’s far and away the best system under 100k.

@@JakeDrives1 does the xc60 or xc90 have that option? I wanted to buy a new one so tried multiple cars at my local dealer and none of them had. And never seen the option. Maybe its not available here.

Uh… there’s still a volume knob. Not sure what you’re talking about.

THIS HAS BEEN ADJUSTED IN THE PRODUCTION VERSION! THEY HAVE ADDED A GUIDE THAT MAKES THE STRAP TILT OUTWARDS SO THAT IT DOESN'T GET TRAPPED UNDER THE SEAT!!!!

@@Kurre. That’s awesome, actually.

thanks my friend !

Thanks! That was in Germany, but NOW atm I am in Gothenborg actually hehe :) Driving the Zeekr vehicles!

@@autogefuehl A- thought that in the "GPS map on the screen in the car" I could see Gothenburg and location-marked Torslanda But now you're in Gothenburg - welcome and looking forward to the Zeekr test 👍

Thanks 🙏 yeah that was a demo screen in the volvo!

@@autogefuehl He he- Okidoki 👍🏻😉

hehe

from a real life experience the Kia EV9 22-way driver seat is glorious. And I have driven mercedes S-class with its best seats for years back in the days.

yes

2:38

Thanks 🙏

We showed the frunk, check the video!

Honestly I more had the impression that the Kia EV9 is more premium and offers more space at a lower price

@@autogefuehl Thank you. That does it, I'm switching to the EV9 👍

WHAT!?!

No. EV9 is more mainstream.

In some parts yes. Only good thing is that they now offer more animal free materials, they are good

I find the Kia ugly.

Sad that volvo may not make ev wagon no more

@@sakariyemahamud1707 They probably will make one but it'll be a lifted version.

@@sakariyemahamud1707 they confirmed they’re dropping the V90 but the V60 will remain. I’m guessing there will be one premium sport trim that looks like the polestar engineered V60

I m surprised myself

Because leather is a natural material and as such provides unique experience compared to any artificial substitute - smell, it develops patina over time, it's breathable, soft. If you get a good quality leather and you take care of it well (cleaning and creaming) it will last a very long time. Aging process for many artificial substitutes is often questionable. Similar to laminate vs. wood - laminate can be indistinguishable at a first sight, but you feel the difference.

@@ludovitrybar2650 I get your point but by the time leather gets into a car it so heavily processed with multiple chemicals, adhesives, dyes, sealers etc is not that natural by that point. I’d argue that it’s a natural material when it’s in its natural place. I do get that it can look amazing and beautiful but there are so many more good alternatives now. I was in a new Mercedes with their mbtex leather and I could honestly tell no difference. Many cars with real leather interiors these days are only part leather supplemented by leatherette in lots of panels too. Appreciate your views though buddy 👍🏻

@bscott77 exactly. Even the employees of the manufacturers often cannot decide / tell me what the material is from and need to look it up.

Like @bscott77 says, car leather seats are the farest away from a natural product

@ludovitrybar2650 Thank you very much for your interest in this topic. I also bought cars with animal skin leather seats before I did my research and got to know the industry. The most important thing is: With today's modern materials, you have nothing to lose, just to gain. You achieve the same kind of luxury and comfort or even better while having the same or better durability with less impact on humans, animals and the environment. You can use fabric/cloth, microfibre or leatherette. They can be made from recyclables (e.g. from PET-bottles or old fishing nets) or even from plant-based materials (like Pinatex from pineapple leaves or Desertex from cactus fibre or the mixed-plant-based Mirum). Or the Polestar 3 e.g. is using pine oil. And even if you still create a leatherette seat the classic way with petroleum base without a recycling share, the amount of oil being used for that is very little in comparison to how much oil is used for other car parts or how much oil is burned for fuel or heating. By ditching animal skin leather from car interiors, the amount of emissions (CO2e) is reduced by 85 (!) % (www.press.bmwgroup.com/africa-dom-easteurope/article/detail/T0403389EN/on-the-market-from-2023:-bmw-and-mini-models-with-vegan-interiors?language=en). So it is the most important thing you can do to make car interiors more sustainable.

A good example for high-end luxury with ventilated animal free seats is the BMW X7 with Sensfin: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z9aCgc6IntTWoqs.html New leatherette materials can be superior in every aspect: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q59kjLt7nJi5hHU.html More and more natural materials are rising: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pLiDprt2092sdKM.html or kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iZeRgb2W1MfYnXk.html Also check out what the animal skin leather industry tried to with our channel: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pLaPdtl90ceqnH0.html For seeing how the animals are being treated and transported in the global leather industry, watch this footage: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qtGadqSe1pfDaHk.html Note that the footage is genuine and was recorded by a highly decorated investigative journalist in Germany I know myself personally. Depending on the animal skin grade, the animals are specifically raised for this matter. However even if meat is the first misuse case, the hide remains one of the most profitable body parts. That means: If manufacturers put animal leather in a car and you demand it as a customer, you give your money to an industry that earns money by oppressing humans, animals and harms the environment, you make them more profitable. Alternatively, you could support industries with your wallet which try to improve the sustainability of materials. Also, if you turn the argument around to "meat is the waste of the leather industry" you realize that it doesn't make sense (and is ethically doubtful) to discuss the priority use of individual body parts of mammals. Mind experiment: You are getting slain down or even murdered on the street; would it matter to you if it was for your smartphone or for your purse? We cannot change what we have bought in the past, but with more information and compassion we can change how we decide in the future.

I totally agree. You’d think they aimed at improving the sitting space in the 2nd and 3rd row that from the old XC90, but no. Like you said, its a mystery they couldnt fix that with a lenght of 5,04m. The third row in my oppinion is useless in my xc90

Yes but look how much You were earning 6 years ago and how much now. I would say that 100K now is way less than 50 in 2017.

And the turning lights?

Also left side via stalk. Wipers via turning

=)

Agreed…..

Really?? 😂😂😂😂😂

Agree

Nah.

what a joke 😂

How is the Kia “better made?”

@@chags3512 I can only rely upon the AutoExpress survey in the UK showing Kia is more reliable!

@@chags3512it’s not

Ev9 only 250 km range and 9s to 100km/h

@@michalkopec-browarnicy 336 miles is the official range in Europe!

Yes

Nope a average adult would perfectly fit but he is is 6.5 so he is tall even in the 2 3rd row a small adult could fit

Thank you very much for your interest in this topic. I also bought cars with animal skin leather seats before I did my research and got to know the industry. The most important thing is: With today's modern materials, you have nothing to lose, just to gain. You achieve the same kind of luxury and comfort or even better while having the same or better durability with less impact on humans, animals and the environment. You can use fabric/cloth, microfibre or leatherette. The classic approach is using oil/plastic as source material. Overall, a vehicle contains about 300 kg plastic. A car seat needs about 5 kg plastic. So the overall plastic share for the seats is very low and it is at this moment the most efficient way to produce a car seat. A couple of litres of fuel equals a car seat basically. So if you want to save oil/plastic, rather look at consumption for energy, fuel and heating and to other car parts than the seat. Note that animal skin leather also always contains a plastic coating for durability. However, long-term we should of course find raw oil alternatives. So going further, seats can be made from recyclables (e.g. from PET-bottles or old fishing nets) or even increased share of plant-based materials (like pine oil, canola oil or start-up materials like Pinatex from pineapple leaves or Desertex from cactus fibre or the mixed-plant-based Mirum, so be seen at kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iZeRgb2W1MfYnXk.html). On a calculation base, by ditching animal skin leather from car interiors, the amount of emissions (CO2e) is reduced by 85 (!) % (www.press.bmwgroup.com/africa-dom-easteurope/article/detail/T0403389EN/on-the-market-from-2023:-bmw-and-mini-models-with-vegan-interiors?language=en) - and that is a very conservative calculation.

You seem to overlook the fact that most car manufacturers have been making SUVs and Crossovers long before EVs It's all about the profit margins, dividends and executive bonuses. It doesn't cost that much more money or material to make a sedan than a crossover or SUV, but there's an immediate premium because of perceived value for money. Stop blaming EVs for something that's clearly a dying business model.

lol

It's a shame that the kia is horrible

@@MrBobberone you're in the minority with that opinion.

i hate my polestar app but the app for my volvo is pretty good actually

KIA EV9 is definitely gorgeous, no doubt about it.

Yes me too, hopefully they don’t go forward with subscriptions for features

I prefer the look of the Volvo but I'd have the EV9 and put the £30K saving in the bank.

I myself dislike the design of the Kia EV series, also from the inside out, for me this volvo fits my taste definitely better, but I do like the look of the ioniq5.

No way, Kia is overdesigned. This is just right.

No, price is "too high" for you

The vast majority of these will be bought on hire purchase or leasing. The overall price is irrelevant for most people. It's the monthly figure that matters.

The monthly prices are linked to the rate of depreciation, which will be massive on these (as with most Volvos) given the high list price

@@Sartheris exactly, the amount of range rovers I see people can afford it just fine. Also the XC90 ultimate which I see a lot of and have one are very popular here in the UK too

@@harriska no matter in which country in Europe you are, there's plenty of customers for all car brands

They’re classy neutral colors. Perfect.

Swedish cars have muted colors.

Almost 4,000,000 tesla model 3&y owners world wide now seem to make it work just fine. 👍🏻

you need a zeekr x，ex30’sister

haha =)

IT looks very much like a Volvo. Put it next to a current XC60. Same shape, same overall design. It's just modernized and they've done away with the grill.

They say they would have a production plat in China and also in the US, the distribution is unknown to me, do you have any link?

Usually northern American plants are just for the US and Canadian customers - mainly for taxation reasons

@@autogefuehl I talked to Volvo Cars Sweden, Volvo Cars Denmark, and Volvo Cars Norway, who all independently say initial production units for Europe and the US will come from the Charleston plant in South Carolina, and the production will later also come out of China later without specifying when that might be. I have also contacted Volvo Cars Germany, France and Belgium, waiting for a comment. Please feel free to reach out yourself :-)

Interesting. The US plant isnt even ready. I ll check with Volvo PR!

OK got answer: EX90 starts in South Carolina, China later. Polestar 3 the other way around! US customers will always get those from the US plant. Production supposed to start in Q3 2023 so should be starting soon..

White ones are available too :)
