The V90 is a gorgeous car, but you're not quite right about the old Volvos, there were some pretty desirable Volvo estates. They even raced 850 R estates in the BTCC, which was a pretty spectacular sight.

I have a black V90 cc with a D4. I love it. Will never get rid of it. Perfect for everything and loads of space. Its a great car to drive

[flemmingsorensen]

I have a V60 with the Intellisafe, and I cant imagine living without it now. I do 50.000km per year (mainly motorway), so its a great comfort/safety feature. Just ordered a new one, this time a Hybrid with AWD. Great travelling car, up here in the Nordics.

Every time I see a V90 I'm just blown away. They are simply some of the most beautiful cars on the road. They've even managed to make the Cross Country versions as nice as well. If I could get a V90 CC Inscription Plus... man would I be chuffed

I love this wagon's look. It's sleek and modern without being sporty or ostentatious. Many modern cars fail at this. They look too aggressive like the RX or a lot of BMWs. Many cars add unnecessary aggression to their styling to make their cars "standout" but all it does is make all cars look the same. For Volvo to approach their design language in their minimal Swedish way, they make their cars stand apart from everything else. I appreciate it's cabin too. Functional with plenty of luxury add-ons to make it a place you would want to eat miles in. The boot is as big as many crossovers but without the boring crossover shape. Big fan!

I hired one of these for a weekend a few years ago. Gearbox a bit sleepy and it doesn’t handle like a sports car, but magnificently smooth, quiet & comfy, and really good looking. I liked it a lot.

Quality video Matt, and not just the car, it's easy to see you're putting alot of work and care into the production value of your videos .

My Volvo is 27 years old, going to get it a birthday cake …

I have a 2019 V90 Cross Country Ocean Race edition, it’s absolutely the perfect all rounder.

When Volvo came out with their lineup including this I thought they were leaps ahead of all the other brands; the interiors absolutely blew me away and the advert was brilliant!

[matthewbellamy]

I’ve had one of these the past 5 years, almost from new, and it’s by far the best car I’ve ever owned. Faultless, fast, quiet, comfortable and still looks great I think. Future classic.

[Ridley]

What a coincidence finding a road with the make and model of the car you're reviewing painted on it!

I’m on to my 2nd one now, I use my car as a van for work and it’s been superb. First was a 2019 D4 R Design, excellent on fuel on a run, followed a friend in a truck that was limited to 54mph home up the motorway, the Volvo kept dropping down from 8th to 7th gear on the cruise control but averaged an astonishing 84mpg over a 100 or so mile journey.

Part-ex’d that for a 2022 B4 petrol R Design and its even better. Being the facelift, it gets the new Google based infotainment system, it’s taken 6 months for them to tweak it via over the air updates but it works brilliantly now. They’ve also refined the styling too, nice little touches like VW/Audi style sweeping indicators, animated tail lights etc. it’s by far the best car I’ve owned to date and it’s an absolute pleasure to work out of. Customers are always commenting how nice it looks.

I had one of these (Momentum D4) on lease for three years, when they first came out. Everything on it as standard.

Recently, I went into hospital for some checkups and I joked with my crew that If I dropped dead then at least I'd enjoyed the Volvo. It is the most lovely, sophisticated, homely, silent car that I've ever driven. I had a brand new BMW 3.OL estate on loan whilst it went in for a small software fix, getting my V90 estate back was like those shots you see of people spotting their loved one in the crowd after an earthquake! Genuinely, a car you can fall in love with... and I miss her!

Let's just say this is the best-looking Volvo, period.

[geraldhornsby]

Always, ALWAYS here for the Volvo vids. I really think Volvos are very underrated. They're a great car for the money.

[AGFe]

Nice camera work and editing! Love that V90. I’m a big fan of the smaller V60 as well.

[md-detailing]

Volvo is really underrated, i love the thor hammer headlights and especially the S90s look, looks so special and so cool next to a 5 series which is just too plain, the V90 is even more stylish and i love the swedish minimalist interior, it just suits me and thats why im a sales manager at Volvo Cars Croatia :D Great video and review Mat!

Hello Matt, nice car you have bought there.
The Volvo 850 T5’s that I drove as a Police Officer in the Traffic Department were exceptional, so much better than the Rover 827’s that they replaced.
Thank you for taking the time to upload another video. Ged

Hi Matt, I have the Cross-country version. D4 and it is more than adequate. Volvo have come along way from the Amazons and 140's. My son gets upset if I hint at selling it. They are rare on the roads, which makes them an oddball I guess. I just love it.
