I watched this video when it was first out and thought ‘that would be a great family car’. Loved the lines and the smart interior. Now sometime later, I’ve just put a deposit down on a new one! Really looking forward to it.

That is a LOVELY big estate, really one of the very best. Well built, solid, safe, comfy AND very good looking.

Gorgeous car. A big, comfy, elegant estate car in the true spirit of Volvos of old. A worthy descendent of the 940, 960, and original 1990s V90!

Given the proportions of technology through times, *Volvos were always amazing automobiles* Thanks for posting the video.

love this wagon. I'm from the US but have always liked Volvo's iteration of a luxury offroading car. It's really graceful looking and it just seems like a very cultured car for someone to drive. It's not shouty or garish as some of the other manufacturers too. (cough cough BMW and Lexus cough cough) It's practical, well mannered on the road, fitted with wonderful materials, and the tech is good too. It's my realistic dream car. I drive an Outback so I already appreciate what wagons have to offer. This is just a better Outback, which is already a nice car

The Volvo is lavish and lovely, for sure. And Scotland, naturally, is breathtaking. I'm seven generations down from the Scot who first brought our family name to the USA, so any glimpse of the Auld Sod is always enjoyed.

Nice one Matt. Looks a lovely, classy load lugger. Thanks for taking us with you on your holiday.

What a fabulous video! Take us on more holidays. The Volvo’s interior is beautiful

Great video Matt, thanks for sharing.

Pilot assist is brilliant, climate can be changed by voice control as can many features. Adaptive headlights are absolutely brilliant. I have the S60 T5 which faultless.

If I needed a long distance cruiser then one of these (or maybe an S90) would be at the top of my list. Nice video. 🙂

Great car, wonderful interior, unbelievable engine, beautiful scenery, Glengoyne, gas stove action and midges. Fabulous travel log including Maid of the Loch and stunning Loch Lomond. " Waiter, I do hope you remembered the grass in my scrambled eggs !"

Brilliant video with an awesome car. I love the Volvo V90 shape, the ultimate safe cruising/roadtrip car. You definitely packed it like it should be for any holiday roadtrip! We grew up in the back of numerous Saab 900s in the late 80s/90s and loved it (triplets, we always had our day to sit in the front!), absolutely great memories looking back and like you say, they become part of the holiday and more so, part of the family! I went onto buy a 900 Turbo a few years back just because of my childhood and 'dad's car' as Top Gear proved 👌 This Volvo is a whole different world now, but would have one in a heartbeat.

I do like these, and one day, who knows? Maybe a like XC90 would have been a better choice for the trip, but I know Matt does not prefer SUV's. I am delighted with my phase 2 version. Disappointing economy with this V90 though, as said. My former, dependable V70 D5, now in my step-daughter's hands, would have returned 60 mpg - as I demonstrated with a West Somerset - Lancashire - West Somerset trip three years ago now.

Matt will be proud of me two weeks today my Ford Kuga auto SUV is going to be replaced with a Kia estate. Although they prefer you to call it a Shooting Break with a manual box.

Hi, watched your channel for a while and think I may have just picked up that you too are a Fury?? If so it’s even more of a pleasure! 😊

Hopefully my next used car purchase. I have had my 2008 S60 since 2013 and it is without doubt the best car I have ever had and the only car I have kept for more than my usual 3 years. Apart from the dreaded DPF I haven't really had too many problems with it and spent three months last year travelling from N. Ireland to Aberdeen and then down to Somerset with many side trips in between while averaging 45 mpg on the motorways. Suspension is a little hard on the 17 inch alloys but other than that it is a long distance effortless cruiser. Any problems with the DPF on your trip? Did it ever flash up a warning about being full? That is the only thing that worries me about buying a modern diesel, the emissions equipment.

Nice review, something a bit different. Did you hire it it, or did Volvo lend it to you? Agree with you about heater controls on a screen menu. Very annoying. Worst I've seen are in Citroëns.

This was a fabulous car which I really enjoyed, it was a loan from the Volvo press office for review purposes, which we took full advantage of!

Current Volvo’s are desirable and the interior design is especially attractive but would I personally buy one? Highly unlikely. I know you hold distain for SUV’s Matt but I challenge you to test drive my Lexus RX450h by comparison. The Volvo you had is in a similar price range but I couldn’t live with that awful Diesel drone, it sounds like a commercial van IMHO. The Lexus would have swallowed your luggage with room to spare, provided equal fuel economy in near silent ambience with all the comfort, refinement, luxury and equipment you could ever wish for. It’s the perfect package for me. Not all SUV’s are the same.

Watched this yep your trading in the merc 🤓🤔🤓👍

That sort of journey is the ONLY time those huge estate cars are really doing their job properly; long distance load carrying as an alternative to train or plane. The four wheel drive is an utter waste of money unless you're crossing somewhere like the Australian outback or Asian steppe. There are loads of high quality examples of these magnificent vehicles available secondhand for excellent prices.

I don't own a car so the amount of technological devices in modern cars is just daunting to me. It's a lovely car but so much to go wrong in it. It's just my old-fashioned view.

Interested in your opinion of the Volvo V90, as I considered it as a possible replacement for my BMW X5. All the reviews I read stated that handling of the V90 is inferior to the X5. The interior of the Volvo looks superior to the X5 though. Very smart exterior styling as well.

That car looks every bit the £50k car inside and out, until the engine fires. A real shame that Volvo don't offer the range of modular engines they used to, but as everything is going that way, this is a very fine car otherwise. The V90 is a bit too big for me I think, but the V60 XC is exactly right and I'd seriously consider one if I had a family on the way (and the funds available).

18:00 a great big WHAT?

I've had a 2019 V90 CC T5 for 15 months and the fuel consumption is horrendous; utterly appalling. Normal driving for me is 50/50 rural A & B roads/motorway, and 23 mpg is the norm. On a long motorway run I might see 31 mpg. Another annoyance is that the rear passenger door aperture isn't great. Significantly more difficult lifting a baby seat in and out compared to the 2013 520d Touring it replaced. There's less room between the door card and wheel arch. I'd concur with furiousdriving that Pilot Assist wants to sit too far to the left which can leave you correcting it too often which becomes a pain. Other than that it's a brilliant car and it was a bargain compared to other big estates. It was also 60% of the cost of an XC90 of same year, mileage and spec. No-one seems to want big estates anymore which means you get a lot of car for the money. Stick a set of all-season tyres on it and combined with the AWD system it will get you home safely regardless of weather conditions.

I have a 2017 V90 D5 and I don't see anywhere near the official MPG figure, I'm much closer to an average of 35.

Don't know how he used so little fuel going to Scotland as I must get around 450 miles to a tank. I don't like Pilot Assist either.

While a V90CC is still an estate car, its predecessor XC70 is shorter but has more luggage space, especially with the seats folded down. Volvo has gone down the route of lifestyle wagons, to my great disappointment. Also the V90 diesel engine is best avoided, because of oil consumption issues.
