 What is up you guys I'll go back to another one. If you're new to this channel I am Bullpony I do new car truck SUV reviews on YouTube and today we are in the brand new 2023 Volvo V90 courtesy of younger Volvo in Hagerstown, Maryland for more information on their inventory please feel free to check out the link in the description box below and so we are in this one today because wagons are stinking cool. This one is going to be competing with the Audi A6 all-road and the Mercedes-Benz E450 all-terrain it's got excellent ground clearance and it is made in Sweden I know there's been a lot of questions about that lately with Volvo whether it's made in China or Sweden so there's the answer that you have for the V90 right there this one is actually built and assembled in Sweden so ultimately in this video we will be testing out and going over everything about this one from acceleration to braking steering feel ride quality sounds like some exhaust clip all that fun stuff so having said all of that what do you guys say let's just go ahead and jump right into it and as always let's start with pricing and so essentially there are two different trim levels for the 2023 V90 you got the plus trim level starting at fifty nine thousand seven hundred forty five dollars and then the ultimate starting at sixty five thousand three hundred and forty five dollars but regardless of trim level that you go with the power plant on this thing is going to be the same powering the beast is a two liter turbocharged four cylinder with a mild hybrid system putting out two hundred ninety five horsepower fifty four hundred RPM three hundred ten pound feet of torque coming in at twenty one hundred RPM that power being sent to all four wheels through an eight speed automatic zero to sixty time coming in at approximately six point one seconds with MPG numbers coming in at twenty two in the city twenty nine on the highway taking premium unleaded fuel so but now that we have gotten all of that out of the way what do you guys say let's go ahead and find a straightaway let's have a little fun and let's put the acceleration here to the test and let's see how quickly we can get our new 2023 Volvo V90 cross country here off to speed I found our straightaway in three two one you gosh man this is this is decent I like that there is nothing wrong with that acceleration whatsoever I think because of the mild hybrid system there wasn't any kind of turbo lag or anything like that it was instant acceleration there so definitely not going to have any issues emerging onto the highway it does throw your head into the back of the headrest so that was plenty fine for the V90 but anyways to go along with that acceleration as always breaking is equally important so as expected there are four wheel ventilated disc brakes that does come standard on this one but sixty zero stopping distance get this actually comes into the very impressive one hundred and sixteen feet now if all those always done a heck of a job with their sixty zero stopping distance numbers but that is sports today and good without a doubt traditionally in wagons and SUVs you're gonna find upper 120s if not 130s I've seen as bad as 139 feet so 116 feet that is brilliant and since there's absolutely nobody behind me right now let's go ahead and test out the breaking feel real quick yeah I love it I love it the breaking feel is wonderful in the V90 100% on point definitely not gonna have any issues you're gonna have a ton of confidence bringing this thing to a stop especially quickly if you needed to but anyways then touching on suspension and handling up front you're gonna get a double wishbone tight front suspension in the back integral link rear suspension as far as ride quality goes it's been perfectly fine I'm a short little test drive here today Hagerstown it's got some pretty nice roads though so I'll say that but that has been perfectly fine as far as steering feel goes it's it's perfect honestly it's not too heavy it's not too loose of a steering feel if anything I would say it leans a little bit towards the heavier side of things which I personally prefer so it's a very nice weight to the steering big fan of that as far as cabin noise goes we're going 51 miles per hour right now so this is literally the perfect test for cabin noise if you guys can hear it coming through the mic there's really absolutely nothing there's maybe a teensy bit of road noise but there's no wind noise whatsoever and that teensy bit of road noise that's perfectly normal and basically every car out there so I've had no issues with that it does kind of have that luxury feel when it comes to cabin noise and touching on visibility I can see 100% perfectly fine out the back I love how those second-row headrest are kind of towards the outside a little bit more because the vehicles a little bit wider so I can see perfectly fine out the rear view mirror so definitely no issues there do also want to mention the rain sensing windshield wipers do come standard on the v90 so whenever this thing detects any kind of mist or rainfall it's gonna automatically turn on those windshield wipers for you so definitely a very convenient feature there and then if you were to go with the ultimate trim level you're also going to get a head up display that we don't have today unfortunately so anyways that about rounds out the performance segment of this review you guys let's not go ahead and take a look at the exterior of our brand new 2023 Volvo v90 cross country alright so here she is you guys the new 2023 Volvo v90 finished in platinum gray metallic in case you were curious of our exterior color name and by the way there are three new colors for the 2023 v90 first one being black stone you got bright dusk metallic and silver dawn metallic as well in case you wanted one of those new colors but so always let's go ahead and start with where this one is actually made like I said at the very beginning of the video taking a look at the Vin first character is the letter Y indicating that the v90 is built and assembled in Sweden as they should be at my personal opinion for Volvo but let's go ahead and start up front full LED headlights meaning both low beam and high beam do come standard with LED daytime running lights of course you do get the automatic feature and automatic high beams as well so if you have your high beams on at night senses a vehicle coming in opposite directions could automatically dim them back to low beams then when that vehicle is gone it's could automatically bounce it back up to high beams for you so very convenient feature there my wife absolutely loves that one but also another thing I wanted to mention is up front here as as I'm showing you guys this rugged off-road clip here you get 8.3 inches of ground clearance which is a good bit really my general rule is anything over 8 inches is a decent amount of ground clearance so I know Subaru's get over 8 inches as well but it's maybe good for a little bit of light overlanding but nothing too crazy of course but 8.3 is pretty dark up anyways that pretty much rounds out the front end of the v90 here so go ahead and make our way to the side all right so now since we are around to the side of the v90 black windows around do you come standard for both trim levels body colored power adjustable side mirrors coming standard with the LED integrated turd signals love that and heated side mirrors will come standard as well another thing I want to mention up top here aluminum roof rails do come standard the crossbars that we have they are an option but they look pretty darn good up there as well but the aluminum roof rails do come standard though rear privacy glass also coming standard then take a look down at the wheel setup 19 inch graphite diamond cut alloys do come standard on this one as well so overall love the wagon profile as I said at the beginning of the video but let's now go ahead and make our way to the back find someone else since you are around to the back of this one all the way up top you will find that body colored shark fin antenna just blow that we're spoiler with an integrated brake light just blow that rear window wiper of course since we have the wagon do the Volvo lettering spelled out horizontally that definitely looks very good as well you do have that cross country lettering spelled out horizontally on the rear bumper I'm gonna get up a little closer just so I can share that to you guys so that's a pretty cool little accent piece as well but just underneath of it all get up underneath of this thing here but you do actually have dual exhaust outlets they are tucked away of course they are not exposed any longer as well we used to do it I would have preferred that but anyways that's the way everything is going these days so having said that I still do believe you guys know what we have to do next is always here is that exhaust clip right and so but now since you are around to the back of the v90 when it comes to opening that rear tailgate it is actually a power tailgate it does come standard on this one so that was pretty cool there's a button on the tailgate itself there is a button on the key fob then as well but once opened up cargo capacity behind that second row comes in at nineteen point eight cubic feet with the second roof folded down then that is going to bump that up to sixty nine cubic feet so for reference this is me trying to sleep back there somebody commented that in a previous video so I'm gonna try sleeping in every vehicle that I review now but tie down anchors to come standard back there there's plenty of grocery bag hooks you actually have two grocery bag hooks on each side in the cargo area back there so that was pretty cool to find 12 volt power outlet as well and then if you were to lift up underneath of that cargo floor you will find a spare tire but this is cool little hook that you can attach to the upper portion of the cargo area back there where you don't actually have to hold that thing up if you were to have to actually take the spare tire out I liked that idea too so wanted to mention it so then make your way back to the rear legroom that comes in at thirty five point nine inches for reference I mean even six feet tall so much space I had back there there of course is rear ventilation back there there's actually four zone climate control that comes standard on the v90 so both driver and passenger and both rear passengers can also set their own individual temperature so that was pretty cool rear center armrests with cup holders coming standard as well and you actually do get two phone charging ports back there then as well but then make your way up to the front seats power adjustable front seats with memory settings coming standard heated front seats also coming standard but if you go with that ultimate trim level that we don't have today you will also get ventilated front seats and massaging front seats as well though that is definitely very nice but overall seating was okay I'll put it that way there are some pressure points that wasn't a huge fan of but overall I managed to get by just fine so no issues for me and I absolutely love the little flag of Sweden always found on the passenger seat in every single Volvo that is produced so that is pretty cool too but then let's go ahead and take a look at the steering wheel it is tilt and telescoping it is leather wrap the 10 and 2 grips have a little spot for your thumb to rest as well so kind of thought that was pretty cool but so to make our way to the startup let me start by showing you guys the key you got your Volvo logo on the one side all of your buttons are located on the side of the key but it is all keyless entry with a turn knob start I love the turn knob start actually it's a Volvo thing so essentially just put your front of the break turn it to the right to start and turn it to the right to stop that's how that's gonna work but once started up there is a 12 inch digital gauge cluster that does come standard it looks so dang good got your speedometer all the way to your left tachometer is on your right there are steering wheel mounted controls of course found on the right side of the steering wheel to control what is up there you can display the navigation if we had it set up as well so how many miles you have left until you hit empty outside temperature the list goes on basically everything you possibly wanted the digital gauges there but then making our way to overall interior quality a panoramic moon roof does come standard and it is massive going very far into those rear seats there aluminum door sills also coming standard there is a tailored gear selector that you guys are looking at right now I'm showing that to you guys but you go with that ultimate you get the Orphor's crystal gear selector so it's crystal glass made in Sweden essentially so that is a that is a pretty cool setup as well but overall I love the wood trim I like the the dark and the kind of saddle brown contrast that we have in this one today one of the coolest things that I noticed the second I got in is you kind of have this carpeting found on a kind of next to the driver's right knee it's also on the passenger side of course it would be their left knee but I like the tension of detail in this super soft carpeting that we have in this one today there of course is a frameless rear of your mirror there's homely controls for up to three different garage doors as well and the lighting it's not really a button for the overhead lighting here you just simply kind of touch it and it turns on and off so I absolutely thought that was pretty stinking cool as well but now let's go ahead and make our way to the tech display here you get a nine-inch color touchscreen display Bluetooth and audio streaming coming standard Android Auto Apple CarPlay factory navigation system actually as well could adjust your climate control settings up there along with your heated seat buttons as well and a heated steering wheel if you end up getting that and of course your radio information and so when it comes to the sound systems there's two of them it's going to obviously depend upon the trim level that you go with so for the plus trim that we have today you're going to get a 10-speaker sound system with 220 watts however for the ultimate trim level you're going to get a 14-speaker Harman Kardon sound system with 600 watts so pretty substantial difference there but having said that I do believe you guys know what we have to do next let's go ahead and turn on the radio see what we got playing today and let's test out the clarity of this one alright so the clarity was pretty darn good I don't mind the clarity in that 10-speaker sound system and honestly 10 speakers is a good bit of speakers a lot of times you'll find a standard 6-speaker sound system sometimes manufacturers will bump it up to 8 but very rarely are there 10 speakers in a vehicle unless you go with a luxury brand like Volvo for instance so clarity was alright base wasn't the very most but it'll get by so I didn't have a problem with that but if you're into music I would definitely recommend getting the ultimate because that is probably gonna blow you away but anyways last thing I want to mention to you guys on the infotainment screen at least is when you do put the v90 in reverse you will find a rear view camera coming standard across the board and there is a 360-degree camera of course available as well but as always that is going to lead us into safety and so to start let me first start by always mentioning this IIHS top safety pick plus which pretty much applies to every single Volvo I think it does apply to every single Volvo being built right now so that is the best you can get front side side current airbags do come standard in the back you're gonna have latch aka lower anchors tethers children for the rear car seats rear child door locks type pressure monitoring system that's all boring but also coming standard road sign assist lane keep assist oncoming lane mitigation post-impact braking adaptive cruise control front and rear parking sensors and a blind spot monitoring system with rear cross traffic alerts overall when it comes to my final thoughts of the v90 this is a very rare wagon from Sweden you don't see the v90 that much and you don't see wagons that much in general anymore so that's why I am a huge fan of wagons but also excellent acceleration on this thing I had a blast hitting the gas in this thing it will surprise you how quick a wagon can actually be specifically the v90 here great interior quality as well I love the wood trim I like the saddle brown interior all worked very well in this thing also this is going to give you more overall cargo space than a sedan so if you want a little more space and didn't want to necessarily drive an SUV this is a solid option here the only really constructive criticism I can think of honestly is the it's not really known for reliability unfortunately if you look at consumer reports I mean it's crazy good in safety but it's not the best reliability ratings that's all I'm saying according to consumer reports but anyways let me know what you guys think of the v90
