I've had Volvo's since 1979. Yes the V90 has lost some of the little things over the years that people expect from a Volvo Estate. The other two are good cars, but it will all ways be the Volvo for me. She is awesome. The seats are to die for and the looks. They have come into their own. Volvo rocks😊.

Good test. I bought the e estate myself and it's almost identical to this one. I also optioned the two rear facing xtra seats in the boot which gives it so much more flexibility on the school run, I don't think BMW or Volvo do that. Great all rounder, wonderful over long distance, have done 600 miles in one day and it's great. Only real disappointment is that it has so far over 20k miles only averaged 42mpg which is almost identical to what my 04 2.7 merc CLK averages!! Thought it might be better:/

I, like many other fan boys, got an old Audi A4 for my first car. I used to be a huge fan boy for all German cars. Now that I've become a true car guy and appreciate all cars, that Volvo is just stunning. Inside and out. That's my pick. After that, I'm not sure. I like the Mercedes interior, and the BMWs exterior.

Soon you will see BMW and Mercedes fanboys fighting which one is the best. 😂 Meanwhile i can't afford a used bicycle.

I've had two 5s which I quite liked, then an E-class which while great to drive, the command system is a nightmare which after two years I was glad to see the back of. Have had a V90 for two months and it is the best of the three by a country mile. The interior is fabulous and the ride/handling way better than anything comparable. Engine the weakest of the three is a bit rattly at low speed. Kit is amazing. Boot has this flap device thing that when folded up secures numerous bags of shopping...Pilot assist/ACC is epic..thr app will do everything remotely and download business miles as an esv file etc..But bottom line is used V90 is several £1000 cheaper...

I think that delay is there for a reason. It is a safety feature :) If I am not mistaken, VW also had it on their Golf's at some point. You had to press the pedal a second time in order to get a kickdown - in case you fell asleep or something.

I really think you should do the test again, now when the Volvo D5 engine has got the 'Power Pulse' feature. An extra compressor, to get instant response when you touch the gas pedal

Yeah, i bought a c220d amg line with premium plus pack, keyless go, and panoramic sunroof (see bob flavin review)... it was totally the right decision; drove waaay better than equivalent bmw, despite what people might try to say who havent experienced both cars... in the trim i went for and tinted windows it looks way better than v90. The infotainment is really easy and intuitive to use after spending a day with it.. on eco mode im averaging 46mpg URBAN! Stick it in sport+ now and ive managed 0-62 in 7 seconds... mid range (overtaking) acceleration is insane for such a big car and potentially frugal engine. Seriously impressive all-rounder.

Matt, with all due respect and this is the second time i am mentioning this, you are not right on the touch pad controller, you do not need to angle your arm or hand you can rest it on the touch pad and when it notices your arm / hand resting on it, locks the touch pad and you can use the controller with no issue at all. In addition you have the voice activation system which I must say is definitely getting better and better. I have 5 - 6 Mercedes and all with the touch pad and all current models so I am aware of how it works.

Great test! For me it's the Volvo, but the CC version.

I loved my 960, what a stealth car. Could take just about anything at traffic lights, but did have a propensity to step out.

I think mercedes in the last year made a huge step forward and became the best in pretty every aspect.. before that was only the most comfortable, now it's just the best, maybe because of the last generation of engines and weight reduction

"The design its a little bit "nnjaaahh". Man i love you +carwow

I'd definitely get the Volvo, just as refined, but more sleek inside and out. The car is just pure art, and in the R design trim the dullness in the driving experience vanishes.

If you would also test real life emissions, the BMW would win hands- down (actually the 2.0 L version is one of the cleanest diesels around)

Louis Rushbrook "you can barely tell the difference" *if you're blind They don't lokk identical. They look SIMILAR. Huge difference! And its only the e class and c class that look similar. If you couldn't already tell by the massive size s class has a COMPLETLY DIFFERENT front grill grill. S class has three curve headlights, e class 2 and c ckass one. S class has thrre tail lights whereas c and e have 2. They all have different front and rear diffusers from each other. Not to mention... S class has far more chrome and more pronounced depth and proportions especially for its light carvings and shoulder's. And the interiors are massively different So yes while they undeniably share similar design language they are still very much distinguishable. Bmw and audi do this too because by your logic 5 series looks lkke mini 7 series and a4 looks like mini a6 just with different lights. So nearly all German companies do this. Frankly there is nothing wrong with this design philosophy as sales suggest. These cars are meant to be under the radar... Hence the concept of stealth wealth.. . so by being similar they blend in well and allow the car not to be flashy. Furthermore this kind of design philosophy is good also because if they looked completly different for instance and someone didn't like the design of the e class they might give up the e classes better interior for a c class or go to another company altogether. So its actually not a bad thing at all and isn't like how you're exaggerating it.

Mercedes E class is the quietest. But those 3 are really really quiet. Even quieter if you take the acoustic glass available in options on those 3. But the difference in sound insulating between those 3 little. The only thing you will hear is tire noise and that depend on your tire but even with Noisy tire it's still so quiet. And as standard those cars have excellent tire so not a problem at all. Choose one and you will not be disappointing, those are one of the best car to drive more miles as possible in best confort and silence you can find

I think the new 5 series is by far the best of these, its basically next gen in everything, and weak at nothing

I agree, but my goodness they take a lot of learning. Thank goodness for KZread.

The Volvo is ever so pretty. I absolutely adore it.

Put it in the mode where you have to manage the gear up and dowm yourself and it responds immediately when puch the gas

The Merc can also be remote controlled in and out of parking spaces... Weird that you didn't mention that.

BMW are the only one who do things "properly"

E class has the best interior The 5 Series has the best exterior The V90 is best all around

I'm surprised you choose the Merc over the BMW, knowing you have got a soft spot for BMW's.

Matt, you been lifting? I see those triceps and that bicep vein!

Maybe the volvo gearbox is a bit slower to respond on everyday cars but I think it might be a good thing. If you not having a race car you really dont need a super kickdown gearbox. Its Quick enough. And because it slower it is smother and not a instant pressure on the gearbox which make them last incredible long. Many cars need to change their gearbox after a time, but I know lots of volvo cars that have driven over 400 000 km (216 000 miles) Of course other cars can go that long with the same gearbox but I feel its more common for volvo. Mercedes is also long lasting cars althoug have falled back a little the past decade.

The 5 series interior is superb and wins against any of its rivals.

Exactly. As interior and control is 90% of what you do with the car as a driver ... we have a clear winner.

Should have had the R Design with a Polestar Optimised tune. Sorts the gearbox lag and improves the drive 10x

Love my D5......But mine's the older 2.4 5-pot
