Our reviews give you two perspectives. Jakub takes the perspective of the car enthusiast, while Yuri represents the interests of the general consumer. You won't find details about engine compression ratios here, instead you'll have real world opinions on what it's like to drive and own cars.

I feel like you guys are the only car reviewers that bring up points that actually matter when you're living with the car. "Are the controls annoying?" "Does the car feel good to drive" "Does the volume knob picture spin with the dial?" "How much crap can you put in it?" "What happens when you send it?" You guys are asking the real questions.

The new Volvo’s are so clean and modern, I love them.

I work for Volvo- here's some important things they missed.
1. Climate control works through the Voice Control button on the steering wheel~ "Set climate 72" - "Lower Fan Speed" - "Seat Heat On" - "Auto Fan 1" - Reaching for any climate system while driving is dangerous- voice control is safer and easier.
2. The Driving Mode selector screen will disappear when you press the home button under the touch screen.
3. Lane Keeping Aide works full time as long as it's enabled in the Vehicle Functions screen- at speeds over 40MPH. LKA Does not keep you centered, it keeps you inside the line as you begin to cross the line. As you cross over a line by 2-4CM, it steers you gently back inside the lane. This generally prevents heavy ping-ponging between lanes. Pilot Assist is separate in it's functionality as it uses both lines to keep you centered in the lane and take light turns- as with adaptive cruise control, tapping the brakes or making a hard turn on the steering wheel will disable Pilot Assist. If there are no drive lines on the road- yet Pilot Assist is active- Lane Keeping Aide and Run-Off-Road Mitigation are both still active in trying to keep you on the road.
4. Those are the stock Inscription trim wheels- on an R-Design. I have never seen that anywhere else.

Great review! My customers definitely are not shopping in a price segment- if they are looking at this vehicle- they are looking at Audi Q5's, BMW X3/X5's, Infinity QX50'ss, Lexus RX350's and so forth. Volvo usually ends up giving you more standard equipment and better tech than the others for less money- on a car that promises you won't die in it.

The best thing that happened to Volvo was divorce from Ford.

cars are like music, having it in your daily lives, feeling passionate about them makes you a beautiful soul, a better/kind person. just look at these two.

I love that Volvo is owned by Geely a Chinese company since 2010 and not changed the brand but made it better after Ford. My guess is we are going to see more Chinese vehicles in the USA as electric cars start to become popular. That reenactment was the best. This could be a problem for Volvo as you guys are professional car door openers.

Their undeniable friendship and playful banter makes me feel like I'm watching a train wreck (in a good way), if that makes sense. I can't take my eyes or ears away from their reviews. Keep up the great work guys, and stay positive! -Eli

The reason you guys are so good to watch is because you are never negative. There’s no negativity in your videos. When you don’t like something you still remain smiling. Cool happy dudes. 😎

Well, this just popped up on my recommended and I couldn’t even happier.

I have had 3 different Volvo XC60 and the new one is unbelievable comfortable.

[kacperziajka]

I saw my first new XC60 today, I watched an X60 Review on Carwow (UK review base) and now this! Volvo XC60 day!

I know many people who've ended up buying a pick-up \ Grand Cherokee.. when nearing the 50K+, the commanding view of the road, and implemented speed limits really encourage drivers to have spacious cabins of crew cab trucks, and lots of option for gear & hauling. You guys are great Canadians with symbiotic chemistry ! Keep the funny "Thor headlight" & informative reviews coming . The extra ground clearance of trucks are healthy over 4 seasons & road debris, curbstone, beach access, creek crossing, Ice fishing, Kiting etc.

Best part about this channel is they find the best in every car. There is never an episode bagging a car the entire time.

I bought an xc60 R design with Polestar optimization. I love the SUV. Perfect power, excellent versatility, reliability, affordability and maintenance. Not too showy but not too boring. I got rid of an older model 650I and ML SUV and got just this one vehicle. It definitely meets my spirited driving requirements while being able to downplay it to luxury driving when I have occupants. When I purchased this vehicle I was comparing via similar vehicles and not a price point. I knew I wanted an SUV for sure. Although I can understand some people like my roommate look for anything under a price point.

This channel keeps growing with every upload I can see it at millions now

Such a nice vehicle.. I grew up around a family who always had Volvos and they have literally THE BEST seats in the auto industry. So comfortable, love Volvo interiors as a whole. I'd rock this thing for sure.

Guys, I own both Genesis and Volvo. I honestly love the Volvo Pilot Assist - its great for long drives... cruising along Hwy 401.

[timlocke]

I took delivery of mine 1st of April. Only a T5 but has all the good stuff.

Others have said it, but you guys have nailed the car review. The only car review I watch every second of with no skipping. Nice work. Keep it up. (I hit my head too on the XC60 R... It happens)
