I think it is 2 inches longer than my old Chrys 300. And the same diff for folded back seat length.

I have driven this exact car with the Polestar Optimization Package (a $1295 option on the T6 AWD) and can tell you it makes a world of a difference on these cars. Shifts faster, better throttle response, more power, more torque, more power to the rear, better supercharger/turbo integration, and more responsive paddles/transmission, among other things. I wouldn't buy a new Volvo without that package.

@@Bottomburbsburnbums Agreed that it should be standard, especially on the R-Design. The car with the Polestar tune is how the base car should be programmed, and the optional Polestar tune should be more enthusiast-based with even more aggressive software that gets the most they can out of the hardware. I thought the gearbox was decent, but I am used to driving a P2 XC90 V8 with the atrocious 6-speed auto that has 2-second shift times and really tall gearing, so the 8 speed feels like a dual-clutch by comparison. But it could (and should) be better.

Wife had a 2018 S90 Inscription. She went through 2 sets of brake pads, a cracked 20" wheel and a set of tires in 45K before we traded it on a new lease. Still loved the car. Rode well and was relatively quick for as big of a car as it was. We had the air suspension in the rear which was just absolutely lovely in eliminating road irregularities.

I just picked up a V90 T5 R-Design and the greatest surprise has been how nimble and playful it is. I was expecting a much softer, more sedate car, but its steering and brakes are incredibly sharp, and even the T5 does a great job of fully utilizing its torque. It's also one of the most beautiful cars I've ever seen. Everything is so perfectly proportional, not a single line out of place, and I'm sure it will age incredibly well.

I ordered one of these in January and got it about a week ago, same loadout minus the big wheels (thanks Ohio). Above riding really soft on comfort mode, she likes to dance and it's surprising. It really doesn't feel like you're heaving a ship behind you it just turns and goes, their suspension setup is tremendous, barely any side hop and it feels the same at 20mph and 80mph. I haven't really gassed it as I am letting the engine break in but they take advantage of the supercharger, greatly. The torque under 2K is tremendous, the transmission knows where to stay most of the time. It's a TF80 based Japanese transmission and they've always been a little wonky dating back to 2006+ Volvos however they're very reliable for the power. It's a very good car, I highly recommend looking into them, unfortunately the Bursting Blue color is out for '21 as it's a very deep color, blue in daylight but purple in sunset light.

Volvos suspensions have improved. The 850 R and s70 sporty cars were harsh over bumps and did this weird dance at the rear end in corners around bumps. But that characteristic is even in the last generation's Volvos, where they seem to side step over ruts and bumps in corners. It was a particular body movement characteristic. The new ones just shrugs them off. While the new ones wearing the largest tires may not absorb the biggest bumps and ruts as well as some other makes, they do a lot better than older Volvos. I feel, despite the smaller engines and compromises in the transmissions, Volvo is making their absolutely best cars now. I wish they'd tighten up on reliability but past Volvos have been a pain in the butt too in terms of reliability. I think a bit more fine tuning of the suspension and they equal the German cars. Maybe a tip higher in terms of interior materials as well. They're getting close to the Germans. Closer than they've ever been.

I have a 2019 V90 CC T6 with the Polestar Optimization. The Polestar power and torque gains are only 14 and 30 respectively but it really improves the drivability of the car. Better throttle response, shifting seems faster, and torque bias is slightly more towards the rear. Would argue that the back storage would have been better if Volvo hadn't sloped the hatch as much (more like the V60). Also there is almost no underfloor if it has a spare. So not a lot of storage, IMO. Overall, I really like it - biggest complaint is the gas mileage is disappointing.

@Blue Steel If you look at the vehicles that sell the most you are absolutely correct most are right below 200HP. The problem I believe is manufacturers limit the HP for fuel economy standards instead of tuning the engine which could deliver more power and get better milage. By that I mean develop the torque curve as low as possible in the RPM range; giving the driver a better feel of acceleration while also creating a system where the driver does not ring the engine out in order to move. Less RPMs means less fuel consumption. No matter what a 300 HP engine uses the same amount of fuel; doesn't matter how many cylinders, or how it is generated either by turbo or supercharger or naturally.

A Volvo 850 T5-R is what convinced me to take the next step from bolt ons with my shitbox. When I was younger and foolish we got to around 110mph on a deserted stretch of I-5 when my car hit the speed limiter. He just kept pulling, and pulling, and buh. Bye. Thank you Volvo guy.

I drive a v90 T4 Momentum (turbo petrol, entry level) here in the UK. It's a family car. Shift points are irrelevant when everyone around here does 5-10 MPH under the speed limit wherever they go, the roads aren't wide enough for two cars to pass each other safely, and every street is constantly choked with traffic. It feels like the QE2. The brilliant infotainment, adaptive cruise control/braking, build quality, and ride comfort are the real selling points. Forget dynamic mode, especially when petrol is $7.15/gal. Just leave it in eco and take advantage of the freewheeling functionality.

The Cross Country version of this V90 sort of seems more appealing, for the way this car would be driven 98% of time by it's owners. It's certainly a car most people that are looking into SUVs should really consider

Wish the Japanese made station wagons. Seems only luxury car maker make them which are expensive.

@rockn roll I was more talking about the stupidity of crossovers. Things like Fiat 500's on stilts, that are still only FWD. And of course, other cars like that. In the USA, your SUV's and pickups, tend to be 4WD, and can actually still be used offroad. Our crossovers, on the other hand, can't be used offroad, they are purely road cars, they only look like a 4x4. Yes, it's as stupid as it sounds.

Bring the Subaru Levorg to America

Sounds cool

I’ve been thinking about the v90 cross country model

the names correspond to the texas instrument calculators that is running the car

Imagine a V60 Polestar but with this engine tuned to like 350hp and lightened to like 3700-3800lbs and none of that electric ballast

@@odiespankers07 well yea I know that existed, but I meant on the new generation. The T8 is too heavy and bulky, like said in the video, it doesn't feel sporty the same way even a normal T6 R line does.

People in the USA and I guess North America are nuts to prefer an xc90 or xc60 over this beautiful wagon and the equally beautiful v60. It's just nuts. Volvo wagons used to be very popular all over the USA when they weren't that stylish. They work great. Volvo has put enough performance into these cars for the everyday driver, the interior is fantastic, the comfort and the usability, the styling is gorgeous, yet the roads are full of xc90s and xc60s. The SUVs are nice but not everyone needs one. I go literally months without seeing a current Volvo wagon though I see a good amount of older ones. Buy wagons again, America.

Ваши слова на вес золота. Все помешались на кроссоверах. Им надоели универсал, седан. Видимо потому,что в Америке много крупного населения.

I love these elegant wagons. Too bad, It's mostly about the SUV in the US market.

That's so weird, in my dad's old XC90, it won't upshift at redline in manual mode, it went straight through the redline to fuel cutoff at 6500rpm and just stayed there in gear

Sounds like the trans solenoid, or valvebody is damaged.

Reading the comments It seems if I buy this circa 60'000 dollar wagon,I also need a polestar tune before taking delivery to make the auto transmission less horrible?

Does Volvo still make 5 cylinder engines? I used to have a S60 2.5T and I absolutely loved that car!

They streamlined their engine line to just one 2.0 4 cylinder to hold them over until electric is mainstream. They add supercharging or hybridization to it when they want more power

You need this baby in passion red.

From what I've experienced of modern Volvo engines and their gearboxes, they just don't match their stats. They feel sluggish and unrefined. Feels almost agricultural when compared to any of the Germans. They do feel like their engines are too small for the size of car (for the XC90 mostly)

You can get a Polestar tuned from the dealer for $1,200. It will liven that trans and engine right up.

“It’s not as long as it looks, but it is big” Most used sales pitch ever

Living in Europe for a few years now has taught me that SUVs are completely overhyped/overrated. More of these wagons need to be sold in the US. BTW - Nice Seiko Turtle
