This car reviewer is great. Thorough, detailed, clear. Not that nagging stuff about adrenaline driving.

i think this is the most beautiful car ever made.

The rear end might be polarizing, but I think it will age wonderfully. Looks classical just like the whole design, thus I love it.

I'm picking up a 2018 S90 T6 Inscription next weekend and it's even 5 inches longer than this guy. I started to second guess the availability of my garage but I have about 18 inches to spare, I believe. Enough to a non-obese person to walk in front of the car whilst parked with a grocery bag or so. #ThatInteriorThough

Bought a T6 Inscription a month ago. The car gets a lot of looks. It's fast and comfortable. Definitely glad I chose it over BMW and Audi, they're also too common. I haven't seen another s90 yet. Kind of hoping that I won't see another one but that wouldn't be good for Volvo.

no idea why Cadilac never used the metal vents like in this Volvo. Just such a beautiful interior that is simple elegance. Cadilac take note.

Probably one of the most attractive steering wheel I've seen in any car.

Thanks for doing these excellent reviews in 4K.

This was an excellent review - very thorough - nice job

All I heard was that the S90 rules! :)

The in depth comparisons to direct compares are a nice feature of these reviews.

Wow now that's a review! Thank you

Nice work. Very detailed high quality!

Very nice review. Love the graphics on the side of the screen.

Reviewer/Host puts himself in the back trunk and closes the trunk, to show that its possible to fit a body, cause apparently this is very important to know when buying a luxury sedan in the US. 10/10 review! would watch again.

That's also why he highly suggested getting the rear air suspension, because when you fit 3 or 4 'sorted' bodies in the trunk nobody will ever know just from watching the vehicle dynamics.

You'll probably never read this since you have so many viewers/comments. But I feel you do the most thorough reviews on KZread for cars. Period. I just wish you would comment or talk about (or create an exclusive "index") for the quality of the audio system. Its hard to test that on a quick test drive or narrow down what is remotely good or not. Otherwise... You are the best Alex. Again...Period.

Great review!!!

Just subscribed. You sure gave one of the most informative reviews I've ever seen.

The videos just keep getting better!

AWESOME review!! Thank you!!!

There are car reviews then there are Alex Auto car reviews.

No other manufacturer makes seats and serene cabin like Volvo. Lexus has great seats but only Volvo will make you remember that it IS a Volvo.

Your review is very very crystal clear!. Love the way you explained and gave a score every detail and the way you compare to other cars in segment. I'm still considering between s90 e-class and BMW 5 g30 and this review help me a lot and my decision goes to s90 . Good job and subscribed. Look forward more review from you.

Thank you for this review! It helped me make the decision and I just bought a fairly loaded S90 T6 Inscription, which has the same options your review car had. Also, I want to say that your doing TWO reviews on this same vehicle are very appreciated. See comments below for other praise. I was going to wait and special order a 2018 to my exact specifications and even do the Overseas Delivery (yes, even on a Chinese-made S90). I am driving an S90 T5 Momentum, rented from Sixt Rental Car at Sea-Tac, on my 9-day vacation. It made me re-think driving around in an even longer version.

Excellent review as always, thank you. =) I've always liked Volvos but this is the first one I've lusted after in ages, it looks great!

Love everything about this car....almost everything, except the rear end design. I'm with you Alex!

That interior is absolutely beautiful, I love the new design direction of the new Volvos.

Great review as always...when will you do the detailed review for 2017 Pathfinder Alex?

what an excellent review Alex... the car is impressive too! I don't think ANYONE gives more information than you do and you simply "rattle it off" without reading!!!

thanks Alex, always happy to see ur review. do u have plan to review other volvo model v90 n v90cc? im really looking forward to see. happy new year.

Alex, Mercedes E class 2017 review coming soon? Can't wait to hear your opinion

Great review Alex! I would love for you to review the Ford Taurus SHO. Definitely an underrated vehicle.

Excellent review Alex! I'm really interested in the PoleStar software upgrade. I wonder how that will stack up against the competition.

Great Review Alex. I really like this new design overall except for the rear end. However, the interior certainly makes up for that along with the great 0-60 and fuel economy scores.

Best pick for the top luxury segment indeed...

An excellent review of an excellent car.

Ordered my 2018 V90 today :) Regarding the rear, the V90 is much more beautiful than the S90, but the front is really awesome! One of the best looking out there. Great review BTW!

the back designing of the car is better than every other volvo! i would buy one :)

Great review Alex, as always. The rear view is actually quite attractive in a dark color, like black. The proportions on this vehicle are spot on. One of the nicest interiors in this segment would be even better if Volvo added a Panoramic Roof. Your reviews are by far the most detailed and professional on the Net. P.S - The trunk is spacious enough to accommodate those naughty children and mother in-laws if necessary, it would appear :-)

Yes, I agree. I think the contrast of the vehicle color and the lights is what makes the 'negative space' created by the lights actually appealing. It's not bad in white, but Black is definitely the way to go as far as proportioning out the rear is concerned. Also, the pano is standard on the S90 Inscription for 2018, which I am picking up. The pano makes the interior VERY crisp and defined. Also, for I believe 2020 Volvo is creating an 'Excellence' trim for the S90 (similar to the XC90 Excellence). It's primarily for the Chinese market (which explains the longer wheel base introduced for the 2018 MY), but it'll probably near 100K or more, like the XC90 (which is about 105k). But, the Inscription is more than enough for most, I imagine.

The Best Tail-light design ever 👏

I really love the rear end. It’s absolutely classy and looks amazing, specially in a white color!

Hello Alex your videos are very informative videos. Just wondering if/when you will be reviewing a Chevy bolt or a 2016 Nissan Leaf.

I find it very stange that the Volvo S90 is suggested to be smaller than the BMW 5 series at 1:05, as the BMW is known to be smaller than most cars in this class. The S90 is around 2 inches longer than the BMW. Also both the Mercedes E class and Audi A6 have got a sightly larger trunk than the Volvo...

Hi Alex. Based from your experience. How reliable and expensive (maintenance/repairs) are Volvo vehicles? Compared to luxury German/Japaneses counterparts? Thanks!

Tuppoo94 it's not about speed. It's about comfort and safety. I drive a 5-cylinder Volvo V70 from 1997 myself, and the smoothness and the power delivery is amazing. Not fast by any means, but you can feel the power behind the engine. I pulled 2 tons on the hook of this car a few months ago. I couldn't even feel it on the engine. :)

Can't wait for you to get your hands on a V90. Will u be getting one soon?

If I want a Volvo?? This is my choice Alex.

Hey Alex, could you please make a review about the jaguar xe s ? thanks :)

Alex, do the cameras record what they see?

Alex, thanks for the great review. How were the engineers able to place the front axle so far forward, given that the car is FWD? I thought typically the front axles needed to be behind the engine.

The 4 cylinder engine it uses is very compact, that's how they achieved this RWD like proportion. A larger engine simply is not possible with this platform. If you want more power it will be the hybrid model.

I find the front end reminds me of the new Kia Cadenza and the rear -- the new Buick LaCrosse. Both very nice, but surely different price categories.

Alex, I thought the G80 was your favorite vehicle?

2 Typos at 20:23 you wrote Bowes & Wilkens sound, it's supposed to be Bowers & Wilkins

Awesome

when are you going to review for CR-V 2017 ?

I think Volvo knocked it out of the park with this one. Yes it is FWD but the pricing is noticeably cheaper to buy (hear that Lincoln & Cadillac?) and the interior seems to be worth every penny. The only reservation I have is the questionable rear end design. But that only makes the V90 wagon more appealing, and thank you Volvo for bothering to even bring it Stateside in the first place.

please do e class review

Hey Alex... Are you planning on reviewing the new Land Rover Discovery??? I think a lot of us would like to see that!!

This is impressive enough on the road that when our S60 R design is ready for replacement, one of these may be it.

At 13:26 is the closest we'll get to Alex reviewing a Caterham. ;-) Maybe a Lotus Evora 400 isn't too far out of his wheelhouse? Perhaps for April 1st Alex could review a Morgan Three Wheeler.

In my opinion the best luxury sedan if it were my choice (or if I had the money lol) I'd get this over all the German cars. The rear is a little off but the rest of the car (especially the cabin) makes up for it

Out of curiosity, The seats in the volvo get 9/10. In your experience which car had the best front and rear seats. My pick, Peugeot 505

I have a 2011 S80. The back side of the S80 looks nicer than the front end ( imo ). On the 2017 S90 the front end looks nicer than the back side ( imo )

I just went to a dealer to take a look at the S90. It's very long. It looks like a limo

Блестящий!

I agree, am not keen on the rear end either, oh well I'll hang onto my MGZT a little while longer, sigh.

haha，Alex, if you don't work out a bit, the future car trunk reviews will have bias

Rear end reminds of Skoda for some reason :D

the rear, and car itself, looks better in person... the rear also looks better with the fin on the back of the trunk.

Hahahahaha this video is great. Trunk comfort index 😂😂😂
