The new interiors are with abundant features, INTERIOR COMFORT, BUTTONS, and remind of the BEST parts of the top of the line specced /fully loaded Volvo models from 8 -15 years ago. The only compromises will be power, and the hands off, eyes off highway pilot that I will have to give up from upcoming xc90 //ex90 models.

    Volvo has really lost their way big time. Having driven most of their line up since my boss loves Volvo and we only have Volvos as company cars I have to say: Yes they are really really safe. They are probably THE vehicle I would most like to be in when I have a crash at any given time. The differences compared to other cars arent that big though. They will get a certain market with the safety aspect, sure, like my boss who owes his life to a Volvo back in the 90s. Buuut, especially here in Germany their proposition just doesnt make sense. They are priced on Mercedes / BMW level but limit the top speed to 180 km/h. You can have a beast like my bosses XC90 Recharge with like 450 PS and it can only go 180 km/h, slower than my Mazda MX5 could go from the 90s. In literally every country on the planet this could not have less of an impact, but in Germany of all places. I have had friends with little front wheel drive 3 series BMWs with much less power just leave me for dust on the Autobahn because they could hit 220 and I was restricted to 180 km/h. If I had bought that car Id be fuming. I was fuming even though it was not my own car. Other stuff too. The infotainment screen is a joke in 2023. Its literally the same design as the XC90 in 2017. Lazy. I can excuse lazy if the car is cheap. I can excuse features been given over updates then taken away again. I can excuse Apple Car Play only over wired. I can excuse cheap sensors which go crazy all the time and see ghosts everywhere. On a cheap 20k car. Not on a 60-100k Volvo. Volvo lives in a world of their own, where they are the cool guys and on the same level as Mercedes and BMW. These guys laugh their asses off to Volvo. Its not even close. They need a reality check, and fast. I really love the brand in many ways but they are currently their own worst enemy.

    Well, Volvo is much less safe than it used to be because of the emphasis on using the touchscreen while driving for so many things, including climate controls. Driving a Volvo is like using a smartphone actively while driving. That is NOT safe. Volvo has lost their way in terms of safety. It seems absurd to make a car have strong safety features in its structure (metal shell) but then fail miserably in preventing preventable accidents by taking away physical buttons/dials. Makes zero sense to me. (Oh, and I'm a current Volvo owner, '22 XC60, so I know pretty well how unsafe Volvo has made these vehicles, and the EX90 looks to be far, far less safe than my XC60 is. And, no, voice commands do NOT make up for loss of buttons! Especially when your infotainment screen is out, as if often the case in modern-day Volvos, when you can't even ACCESS voice commands at all, never mind whether voice commands work, or if you need to interupt phone calls or in-car conversations or listening to radio/music in order to have to talk to TRY to get the car to do what you want it to do!)

What felt most unsafe was the constant phantom danger danger of my latest XC40. This thing sees danger everywhere and sometimes just slams the brakes which is incredibly dangerous if someone is following too close. Most of the time nowadays I can anticipate it now but I should not have to calculate the stupidity of a 60k Volvo.

    180 km limit matters in few coutries than Germany. Volvo has updated their system constantly going from Sensus to Google and have OTA updates. But now they have a new, up-to-date system in the EX90 and EX30. The EX90 is delayed due to the pandemic and to Volvo trying to get the software correct. I think Volvo are doing fine. There are plenty others struggling since the pandemic as well as transitioning to BEVs.

We have an xc90 and a c40 in family, I know what I am talking about. Rear passengers have always sun in their eyes. It's a massive bullshit. Few and dull colors, no sense of luxury at all, the ex90 will be a catastrophic image harm for the brand. They decided to exit from the luxury market, because the ex90 has the finishing touches of a washing machine, keeping the price of a luxury car. It's only electric. It's enormous. It will hit the market two years after its debut. All the ingredients for a perfect storm are there. It's a disaster waiting to happen.

    In Sweden it’s 997k for the base Volvo and 869k for the launch edition EV9. If you want a similar spec Volvo it’s 1,1 million Swedish kronor for the Volvo. And I’ve driven my EV9 in cold weather and really bad weather, there’s no problems with the EV9 preconditioning of the battery. If I activate the preconditioning 50 min before charging I get maximum charging speed every time. To compare with my tesla that starts preconditioning about 1h20min before in the same conditions.

    When I compare the Volvo EX90 (non-performance, but Twin Motor) to Kia EV9 specs in Finland, I get 114.000 EUR price versus 89.000 EUR. That is +25.000 EUR. I will miss amazing B&W, fancy Pixel lights and perhaps some quality in EV9. I will miss electric captain seats with relaxation mode and the spacious 3rd row in EX90. So, in the end, I'm down to material quality between the two. Can I justify spending 25.000 EUR more? Is the quality in Volvo really that high compared to EV9? It is a rhetorical question, I think. When I asked for a quote for the Volvo, I got the price of 116.000 EUR, including winter tires with rims and a towing bar (with all possible discounts). When I asked for a quote for the Kia, I got the price of almost 90.000 with everything included. I couldn't find a reason to spend 26.000 EUR more and went with EV9. Not to mention 7 year warranty from Kia. I bought EV9, and with the current interest rates, I will pay ~800 eur/month for the principal loan for 6 years. In five years (my plan to keep the car), I will repay at least 48000 EUR. Will I be able to sell EV9 for 42000 EUR after 5 years? I'm sure I will. What extra risks might I have? With 7 years warranty - none. Even new buyer will retain two more years hassle free ownership. With Volvo risks are much higher after 3 years warranty, including Air Suspension, Pixel Lights, and more. Kia will offer LiDAR (available in Korea) with EV9 GT (EU approval pending). But LiDARs are still very limited and need more time for users to benefit from them, that is not an advantage for me. Being practical - EV9 is the obvious choice. Money is not a problem? Well, for that, we still have first-class tickets 🙃 Still, Volvo is a great car. I had S90 (latest model) for 4,5 years and was willing to switch to EX90 as I was in love with Volvos. But Kia made something unique by all means and took me away to their camp!

    In many markets the EV9 comes with a Meridian sound system, is that available in Finland? The problem with LIDAR, is the sensors get dirty and stop working. Volvo doesn’t appear to offer any sort of cleaning for their sensors. It’s not really a problem in warm snow free countries but with all the crud cars in Northern Europe get covered in the LIDAR sensors stop working until you clean them.

Polestar managed to drive people around in a Polestar 3 and Polestar 4 during the recent Polestar Day in California. Volvo needs to step it up in terms of getting this car to market. I understand wanting to get it right. But it was introduced a year ago and 3 years to customers is way too long after any introduction. As for the comparison, well done. But it's clear that the Volvo is in a different rung as a car. Functionally, the EV9 is better, seems to have more room.

    Thanks Kris for the comparison between the EX90 and the EV9. I frankly love the design and aesthetics of the EV9 and the space is strikingly huge! The EX90 to many who have said is very similar to the XC90, with some significant tech changes which I think is a good sign. However, after having driven a 2004 XC90 2.5T FWD for 18 long years without a single accident or a major incident “safety” by far is an absolute critical feature. Most EVs nowadays have their center console displays, multiple IHUs to make the entire experience a bit more personal. At the end of the day, I am all for sensors and cameras and radars if they are well integrated, user acceptance tested and works reasonably well. I’d love for you to compare these two models with the Lucid Gravity. I am finding the Gravity to be an absolute bad assery SUV in its genre! 😄

I have factually just 1½ weeks ago done charging test on a EV9 in -4c degrees and pulled a 64.04kW charging session at a Ionity station in 21 minutes from 17% to 78% maintaining a 182.97kW average and 216kW peak charging speed. My experience on -25c degrees on a EV6 I've still managed to get all the way up to some 215-220kW peak power and 25min 10-80% sessions. Would not describe that poor. Would describe that absolutely world leading in this price range.

I activate it 50 min before charging in -10 degrees and get full charging speed. Also you will only get 250 kWh charging speed from the Volvo at a tesla supercharger. Otherwise it peeks at 200. You need the higher amps to get the full 250 with the Volvo and today it’s only Tesla that delivers that with a 400 V system. So for you to get 10-80% in 32min with the Volvo you have to charge at tesla, otherwise it will most likely be around 40 min. The EV9 have delivered an average of 180 kWh on all 800V chargers that I’ve tested.

Much better interior for the driver in the EV9 -- climate controls and other important controls outside of the main touchscreen, and MUCH better design and layout of instrument panel and infotainment screen in the EV9. Volvo/Polestar have failed utterly in their interiors, making them not only ugly and unpractical but very unsafe to use (like fingering your cellphone while driving). The EV9 presumably charges much faster, as well.

I have a big family and its important for us have big cars because our daily life is to pick up the children several times a day and for that is important to have space for school and gym bags , musical instruments (like guitars) , and for too much things its the perfect car for a family can have. the big travels that we made ,its only in vacations so , for that we're going to travel in the xc90 because we don't need to be limited to the time wait to charge an ev. too much electric cars for a few chargers across the country. Portugal is insane. lol... btw and you mentioned in the video , the situation here is the same....almost a year to wait for the ex90. that's the time for the brands develop a bigger battery with more range.

    EV9 does 0-100km/h in 4.7 in reality. Dont know where you got 6 sec from but it's certainly wrong. Also Volvo is well known to over promise and under deliver, been that way for at least 25-30 years. Kia is the other way around, so I would not be surprised if the real world range of the EV9 turns out to be better than the 2.8 ton Volvo lump. Btw, I took delivery of my EV9 Nov 24 and it's great. Had the Ford Explorer PHEV before which was also great but it can't compare to EV9. Before that was the XC60 T8 which is easily the most problem filled car I've ever had and the reason why that was my last Volvo...

    The big potential plus of the EX90 is that it will have LiDar. The EV90 was supposed to but it ended up getting striped out of the US models. The unkown is whether Volvo will actually take advantage of the LiDar in the US with true self driving or if it will be watered down to not being any different than everyone else (except Tesla). But Volvo blew it with all their delays. By the time they come to market at the end of '24 or in '25, there will be so many other options and potentially amazing competition line the Lucid Gravity.

    In the most simple terms it it is “fake” or simulated leather. But as I explain in the video, this is nothing like plastic or pleather. It looks and feels very close to nappa leather, one of the finest qualities of leathers used in cars. So now and moving forward, it is much more nuanced than just “fake” leather. I am very impressed by this material in the EV9

Unless you know the exact nature of the acquisition, you're not in a knowledgeable position to comment on the nationality of the company. Sweden is Volvo's home and what they operate out of. Not China. China is Volvo's second market. Europe is Volvo's first market. And Volvo is not full of Geely personnel, they're full of Volvo personnel regardless of where they are. I've been driving Volvos for 4 decades or more and today's Volvos don't feel any less Swedish than the ones they made when they were owned by Volvo AB in Sweden. The Geely influence is mostly financial.
