Saloon/Sedan for you or an SUV? And why?

[euvlgoq]

I have had one of these for a month now (an ex-demonstrator, so 33% off the list price with under 3000 miles on the clock). Looking at the S90 was encouraged by an earlier positive review on this channel!

The new review fully corresponds with my experience. The car is unusually quiet even when the petrol engine is active, it accelerates impressively for such a heavy car, and is comfortable. Most reviewers strongly imply that the S90 is not a driver's car, but it's quite happy with spirited driving, maintaining its composure in bends.

Average fuel consumption of course depends on how often you exceed the battery range, but mine is currently over 70mpg for a mixture of urban and rural driving.

Classy. Not overmade and ostentatious like some other cars… people often get confused between those things.
The real luxury isn’t what screams, as Rolls Royce has always proved. No need for 10 screens and 2 TVs 8k ok wheels.
Just like the XC90, the S90 is just perfect. As does your video. Cheers, Anna!

Hi Anna, as usual you make great videos. You mentioned that people whine about the Chinese owning Volvo, but then they should think again. Because as long as American Ford owned Volvo, Ford did not invest in developing Volvo, but rather Volvo was used to improve the American Ford car. Because you actually have to thank the Chinese Zhejiang Geely for his company buying up Volvo, because Volvo was almost done with new Volvo models that were coming. BUT the first thing Geely did as a new owner was to tear down all the clear new upcoming models, then Geely said they make the models bigger, more luxurious inside and discard Volvo's sound system. This is because Geely wanted to increase sales of Volvo in China, as the Chinese like large and more luxurious cars with good sound systems. That is why Volvo now has the sound systems Bowers & Wilkins and Harman/Kardon. So you can say that if the Zhejiang Geely company hadn't bought Volvo, maybe Volvo wouldn't still exist today. Just look at this Volvo S90 both exterior and interior and compare it to the model that existed when American Ford owned Volvo. China saved and wanted Volvo to be better and sell more while American Ford only used Volvo to improve Ford and not Volvo . Those who complain about China owning Volvo don't think this.

Anna... As I`ve said before... I just love my S90 T8 R-Design Recharge Saloon / Limousine / Rocket ship. 8 speed auto in power mode with a bag of electric as well and you can put the whole 455 hp to good use and get a huge smile on your face. Not a great deal of other cars are as well put together or luxurious or as comfortable or as fast as my Chinese / Swedish collaboration.

I think it is hard to beat a nice saloon, Luxury and practicality rolled into one. The S90 is a nice wagon shame that there is not more of them on the road. Interiors of all Volvos is key selling point in my opinion. Super review Anna.

A colleague of mine have an S90, light blue metallic, cream interior, 19" wheels, there is no denying, It's a very pretty car.
Possibly top ten manufactured right now, partly because many others are batshit ugly also !
I'm getting old and grumpy I know, but I love my dinosaurs ❤

I will never understand why MB and BMW have gone so crazy with lights, screens, glass and fake crystal everywhere, they look so kitchy.

I'm not against screens, for example I love what Tesla have been doing with minimizing the interiors(with a hard exception on removing the signaling stalks, that's just stupid).

This is exactly what I'd see as luxury. Clean, solid, subtle, understated, some wood, with good taste, not everywhere like bentleys used to do.

Just an overall very well balanced car. And with a ton of power, finally Volvo cave and realized they need to make powerful cars.

I'd even like the V90 to be honest, especially the cross-country version.

[johnpiggott]

Like the car.
Looking as beautiful as ever Anna
Keep up the fantastic work

[tampaguy]

I love sedans as for Volvo, the Chinese, Volvo has improved the last four or five years. This was a long-term test over two seasons. Interesting I like that.

[vxs]

Anna, your love for the S90 is clear... you've done multiple reviews of the car now! Love them.
I'm soon going to drive my Magic Blue Inscription Pro T8 to mainland Europe (from London). Let's go on a road trip together! Haha x

[kobuserasmus]

Great video as always !
Does the black cat belong to you ? Or is he just your lucky charm ?

[isaackent]

Seamlessly edited, I'd not have know it was two video's if it wasn't for the Snow, Sun, Snow, Sun, Summer Dress, Puffy Jacket, Summer Dress, Puffy Jacket 😋

[rumenlozanov]

It’s quite refreshing to watch “regular people’s car” type of video. For everyone saying that a Volvo are still an expensive car, yes I agree, but if we worked a little harder we could all probably get one. Great video, Anna, keep it up!

[alessandro]

Anna e Volvo. Siete fatti l'uno per l'altro👍👍

[aaaaaa-rutv]

You’re the only one that understands Volvo ❤

[rickj]

The question I have with hybrids is this - how hard and expensive are they to fix when they hit the 135-200k mile range and things start to break down?

[whiteshadowBH]

I like this car in R-Design package specially with 5 spokes rims

[garyg]

Now…you are an amazing ‘car review journalist’ and for the first few minutes (in the jeans) I was listening but the green dress….winner winner sausage dinner!! 👏😉👍😂 🚘 Also, not sure I would ever buy a Volvo, the brand has a ‘sensible’ image…opposite of Anna and who wants sensible!!

[anthonystevens]

Another great video very well edited to cover the different seasons Anna. I think the term SUV has become very overloaded by the UK press covering everything from a Hummer to a crossover, anyway I digress. I like the evolved shape of the S90 and that interior is frankly great with all the safety stuff covered as you would expect from Volvo. Terrific editing and presentation as usual and its nice to see the little black cat back on the prowl as well. Many thanks for sharing.
