Volvo standing strong with a wagon…which in my opinion looks so much better than a SUV. (Not to mention better handling and lower coefficient of drag)

V90 is such a beautifully proportioned large wagon - so refreshing in a sea of SUV’s

I owned this v90 cross country for three years, mine had the diesel engine. I fitted 18” wheels with offroad tyres. It easily tackled many offroad situations and unpaved rocky mountainpasses with absolute ease. People in Lamdcruisers and Defenders used to stop me and say that I wouldn’t be able to make the terrain and were surprised when I laughed them off. Volvo supplies a thick aluminum plate as an official accessory that I had fitted below the engine compartment. That took so e knocks, but I never felt that I really needed extra clearance.
Amazing car.

We have a 2019 Ocean Race on 19” wheels. Never had any issues and the seats and ride are very comfortable. It’s been across the country a couple of times and regularly drives between the west coast and the UT mountains these days. Although it’s not an off-roader, it’s certainly capable of transiting a dirt or gravel road so long as the ground clearance isn’t an issue. Traction is always fine. In truth, though, the two places it’s most impressive are long-distance highway trips and snowy mountain conditions (the reason we got it in the first place). Not cheap, but I suspect the negative comments belong to people who’ve never actually owned one.

Volvo knocked it out the park with this vehicles styling.

One of the best looking cars out there.

I have V90 -18, D4 AWD. Living in Sweden. That dark and snowy country. Never had any issues. It works REALLY well!

[prashantkompella]

I have said it before, and I will say it again. You guys need to create a rating system for AWD testing.

I have a V60 Cross Country. Best car I've ever had. Solid, comfortable, and great in snow/light off road. I swapped out the 19's and put on the base 18's and it drives even better

[EDHBlvd]

9:18 you criticize ground clearance. It has 8.3 inches. That’s very good for a wagon or sedan. It’s better than many SUVs.

One of the best looking cars out there)))

fantastic car! wish there were more wagons on the market!

[huntermitchell-yhfo]

I'm not sure what generation of Haldex this one has but I have a 2015 V60 Cross Country, I put a full skid plate on it and downsized to 17 inch wheels wrapped in nitto AT's and the car is WAYYY more capable than it has any right to be. It's also a fantastic tow vehicle for anything under 4k pounds.

Nice video. Had a V90 CC for a couple years now and love it.

[merog]

The volvo v90 xc is used as police cars in Europe. Its the standard squad car in Norway. Volvo have a dedicated factory in Sweden that modifies all the models into what the customers need.

[SterlingSigurdsen]

Love my 2015.5 Volvo XC70 T6 Platinum. Great on road and off roads

[pedermyrne]

To engage the "Kick gate" you have to take at least one step back after kicking. (Says so in the owners manual and that works for me every time)

[Georgejoseph]

Two of my neighbours have the European model.D5 AWD.they both have caravans and go around Europe.only positive comments so far .

[swtt]

Beautiful wagon and great traction test. Thank you. Regarding the wheels and tires I wanted to comment that the 21 Inch wheels with the summer tires on the V90 CC tested is an optional upgrade. All the V90 CC Ultimate trims come standard with the 20 Inch Wheels with all-season tires that have more tread and grip. Great to see how well it did in that test with those tires and wheels.

Beautiful wagon/suv. But like most vehicles, way too expensive.
