The Best Sound System... PERIOD - Volvo S90 Recharge

Volvo's S90 Recharge is a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), so it's not entirely electric, but it will help you stretch your fuel consumption with its electric motor. Overall, the car is fantastic. Acceleration, overall speed, comfort, and Alex's favorite, the sound system!

I understand that it takes a lot of coordination to get these car videos up, but I really do appreciate them.

[cognitivesimilarity]

Alex's breakdown of cars are always so informative and clean, please dont ever leave ShortCircuit

[jajssblue]

Wow! Given Alex's review, this has shot up to the top of my wish list! Do the XC90 and V90! I love wagons!

[mysteryk]

I want to see a series where the LTT team takes an average inexpensive car and turns it into the most tech advanced thing they can - no matter how gimicky. Should be an interesting series to follow.

P.S. If LTT takes my idea you can pay me in bananas.

[TBelen]

I can feel the vibrations of the bass in my headphones, that is indeed a banging sound system

[YouAreBreathing]

I'm just waiting for LMG to have their newest Youtube channel with car reviews on it.

[Turpentinefab]

You can activate steering assist by pressing the right arrow on the left side of the steering wheel while cruise control is on.

[Boringpenguin]

4:26 Nice feature. Exactly what I need. Will buy it straight away.

[MogR]

LOVE THE LAB RESULTS! these are great audio engineering testing things :D prettty graphs and fair analysis, geez this lab thing is such an amazing addition to LTT :D

[Grommet]

@2:29 that's correct about the FR "house curve" for a car needing that extra amount at bass frequencies due to the masking effects of background noise. That FR curve looks WAY too smooth though, even for 1/3rd octave smoothing. If that's really what the system's FR is like, I'm impressed.

[pocketlint]

Having the sub bolted to the chassis makes a huge difference. My jeep has a small sub enclosure (maybe 8 inch) bolted to the floor and the vibration that little sub is capable of is pretty impressive

[zeveroarerules]

The batteries in the central console is just genius.

Looks like the perfect company car :)

[YearsOfLeadPoisoning]

I maintain the 90 series Volvo is one of the best looking cars, ever, with the best interior, specifically with the light, matte wood.

The V90 is the car I'd buy if I won the lottery.

[chefben]

I love the way Alex reviews cars so much. He gets right to the important things first. Does it have a banging sound system? Is it fun to put the pedal to the metal? Everything else comes after. This seriously is the way I'd do it.

[itsarifrizvi]

I'm not even 1.5 minute into the video yet, and I'm already convinced this is gonna be an amazing car and an amazing video just based off that speaker intro and Alex's enthusiasm! Love it already

[quasigod]

I absolutely love the graphs for the speakers being included especially with those detailed descriptions! The sounds system is super important to me and the detailed analysis is great.

My only suggestion is to in the future not use red for the line when its against a black background like in the fr graph at 2:27, its quite hard to see for me. I'm colorblind so I'm not sure how bad it is for others, but I had to crank my brightness and squint to see on my phone!

[aaronvanblitterswijk]

Weird, I have a v60 T6. I can cycle between steering modes via the steerwheel and putting it in dynamic mode revs the engine up to a standard 2000 rpm and makes the braking and suspension really tight.

[MGMutt]

The funny thing about steering assist is that they USED to have it on the steering wheel, you would activate cruise control and then could switch between regular cruise control, distance-keeping cruise control and steering assist but they actually got rid of that functionality when they went from their own sensus system to the google system.

[daedalusrunner]

Alex has the best info videos on cars. Like Holy crap you realize how bad some car YouTubers are nowadays

Like...short circuit doesnt even do car reviews frequently. But when they do, it is consumer gold

[tuottajakallio]

Volvo sound systems, even the lower-end ones have always been exceptional. My 2014 V60 for example really delivers everything you need and even in a good balance, whereas many new cars nowadays sound very thin and "car radio like" if you will. I can even get the bass tones to vibrate the whole car without it sounding fake or cheap. And that's with the default model with zero upgrades.
