Our reviews give you two perspectives. Jakub takes the perspective of the car enthusiast, while Yuri represents the interests of the general consumer. You won't find details about engine compression ratios here, instead you'll have real world opinions on what it's like to drive and own cars.

Wagons are the best!
The V90 is the king of them!
I want a wagon, but want a manual one... It's only the Alltrack available for something like that... #savethemanuals
Wagons!!! R-Line!
I prefer wagons but not alltrack
This is literally my dream car. Tyvm for this review, guys. I've been looking forward to this!!!
Volvo’s make the most appealing and attractive cars across their line up. All of their cars look sooo good!
czcams.com/video/3dbKbRhynTo/video.html
I can agree but for some reason I dont like their front ends usually. That being said, I typically look at the interior over the exterior and that's why I went with a subaru cause within the last 5 years they have greatly improved their interior and I feel like they are just a cheaper version on volvos wagons. Wish the legacy wagon would come back out.
Shawn Warnick The Legacy Wagon is literally the Outback. The Outback is built on Legacy platform.
@@anhtuanleminh1149 I know that... I want a "legacy" meaning not lifted. Handles better
Nisan Shrestha indeed! I Will get my 2020 V90 T8 in 2 weeks 🤙🤙
I firmly believe TheStraightPipes alone can make wagons cool again
My first car was a Ford Focus Wagon with the DOHC engine, and i loved it lmao.
And Volvo makes some of the best wagons out there that normal people can actually afford.
The fact the the wealthiest people in America are buying wagons again will slowly change the perception also.
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaassssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Yuri imitating a horn just made my day
I laughed much harder than I should have. It was so unexpected lol
maybe we need a Yuri horn test for every vid
8:02 - how I felt when Yuri refused to do the visor test!!
I'm really getting convinced that a cool wagon with AWD is the better choice than an SUV for an all purpose car.
Well its equally as practical yet a lot more dynamic.
They're cooler (in my opinion) and easier to drive
Name one thing an SUV does better than a wagon. Otherwise, welcome to the side of reason - theres not many of us here, so we're glad to have you lol.
@@RyguyCC I'd rather hit a wagon driving an SUV than hit an SUV while driving a wagon. Other than that...
@@mitchellthurner5980 Unfortunately that line of thinking is part of why we have so many SUVs now. The reality is that if we all drove cars, collisions would be safer than if we all drove SUVs. And actually, theres not even good evidence that SUV passengers fair better than car passengers in a collision between the two. It's really just ignorance and selfishness driving the SUV trend, fueled by effective advertising from the manufacturers.
Yes the V90 Cross Country looks so ready for action!
Definitely getting that over an SUV
the sound at 1:35 kills me
Got a chance to drive the Ocean Race trim of this car and it was sweeeeeeet. Love the ride, trimmings, and overal aesthetic. Looks amazing. Buyers won't be disappointed.
Lucky, I wish my Volvo dealer was cool. I just came from your V70R video to this one, funny how that works...
I saw one the other day, I love it!
I know there is most probably just one in my city, I've seen it a few times.
I just returned from on OSD V90 Ocean Race Polestar. It was very hard to leave it in the lot to come home. Leaving it behind for 7-8 weeks is tough. I love my car and can't wait until its in my driveway!
Volvo is odd, but has the looks and amazing interior. I think that's why we love it
MaxSpeed Justin y of car you tubers
Found you
@@frankjames2618 yes sir
@@frankjames2618 that's my kid
YOU are odd for commenting on almost all car related CZcams videos
Can’t just refuse to do the visor test. I’m so disappointed in Yuri.
Same
@@TheStraightPipes czcams.com/video/3dbKbRhynTo/video.html
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Fun fact, the other day Randy Pobst also review this Volvo V90 cross country. RIP MotorTrend on CZcams
almost died when Yuri made the locking horn sound lol...me in my vw every day. the worst.
You guys are hilarious. And worthwhile in regards to quality info. Perfect balance. Keep em coming.
Greetings from India. I love your reviews guys. Keep it up!! I love when i get an alert for a new video for you guys!!! I live my western luxury car dreams through you, and I thank you for that.
I'm a 23 old dude have that car love it! Just purchased it a couple weeks ago.
23 old dude with a v90, yea, we get it.
@@stulighter no longer have it my ex’s now. But hey I started a tech company that delt with online firearm sales to make them more safe. When I was like 19.
You guys are the best. Thanks for the enthusiasm, positivity, and all around goodness. Love the new ending too.
I picked the V90 cc and I do have the heated steering wheel and air ride. I like the fact that the car senses the outside temp and turns the steering wheel heat on when it's appropriate. (set on low) I also like that I can control almost anything (music, interiors comfort i.e. seat heat, temp, etc. and navigation all through voice commands. With my heads up display, it's literary eyes on the road, hands on the wheel all the time.
Cool car. Love my Volvo glad you guys highlight them. They are awesome- as are you guys.
13:21 animation is your best ever! In fact, beats any I’ve ever seen period! Keep up the great work guys!
I don't know if I am among minority, but those wheels look a bit too big and high to me. A bit smaller wheels (19 maximum) with thicker and better tires would have made it look even better and a true off roader. But I guess I am the minority
in Sweden seeing this car means HIT THE BRAKES ITS CIVILIAN POLICE
Not in the north..
While it's true.. the police know it too. The amount of times I've seen civilian police drive Passats, or even old Saabs is alarming
525PKKS Does police on the road actually exist in Sweden? To me it seems more like an urban legend or something for the history books.
Mr Music Hahahah
grey, white, black XC70, often with a highbeam LED bar or 2 extra lights on the grill is a clear giveaway.same with the VW passat, the van, the V90 aswell.
Nice banter in this one and good angels to show the cool battlewagon, would have loved to see more drifting and hooning around, Volvo give these guys a go for the winter ralley course. Will definitly shop around for a wagon once my current lease on a compact SUV is up.
I swear wagons are my favorite type of car, we need more of them!
I swear!
Excellent review Great "real" info. Thanks for your honesty and casual but perceptive approach.
I have been waiting for ths video!! :D
Nice review guys! We couldn’t decide between the two, so we bought one of each. 😉 We have the Polestar tune on the V90 T6 RD only, so Dad has a little more midrange kick to play with. The cars are great, and a great value after Volvo’s usual discounts, but they would be perfect with the old T6 3.0L straight 6 turbo. That engine in my old V60 RD was so much more alive/fast! Btw, our cars on 20” rims are very comfortable, and they still look big/good.
Oh pleaseee thank you in advanced for the pilot assist video. Cant wait !
Fell in love with this car after watching Randy from Motor trend review it 😄🖤🖤
Jakub, I really appreciate your dedication to the visor test!
I look out for my people
I can't wait for you guys to test the 2019 S60. I had one at my dealership yesterday and it is a beaut.
You guys have a wonderful dynamic! Keep enjoying each others company and don't let work get too crazy ;)
1,000,000 subs by August! Battle wagon looks good!
Thank you Jakub for maintaining respect for the visor test
Always
Wagons A Go-Go!! Gorgeous car, great review guy's🚘
THANK YOU for this excellent video.
Your intro cracks me up, “we’re going for a ride”
damn it... now I need a battle wagon. great video as always gents.
After all the supra puking, I am feeling pretty weak. My men @theStraightpipes brought in one of my favorite new vehicles. Made my day, thanks!!
I think this is the car to have, I love it. Especially the Ocean trim, but all V90 s especially these Cross country models are awesome!
My favorite thing is also that the Swedish police has these and I think there is also a sort of ambulance model
Best term ever. Battle wagon! Love it.
Honestly, I watch these and i'm not even into cars that much. Amazing production quailty and both presenters come across so natural no arguments, no hyperbole, just plain facts which the normal person buying a car would want to know.
Keep up the good work!
I think it would be cool for you guys to add lock sounds, horns, and key fobs it’d be nice little touches :) love you straight pipes
V90CC. I’m a wagon and a Mercedes guy, but love this one! Imown a E300 bluetechhybrid facelift 2014 that I guess you miss there. It comes with the diesel 2.1 litres engine paired to a small eletric one. Apart from the clatter (I had 3 V6 3litres models before), it’s a nice combination. Low consumption and good power.
Ocean Race battle wagon over EVERYTHING! Let’s see that one guys! Love the channel and love you guys too!
Love watching the show. I currently own a v90 cross country. Traded in my xc90 inscription launch edition for it. Took Christmas trip with family from CT up to Mont Tremblant in the V90. The car was exceptional on the highway and was awesome in blizzard like conditions we encountered while driving thru adirondacks.... the drive assist is top notch......Volvo with current engine line up and architecture now represents best value in luxury space. Makes for great luxury ride, however performance is a 6 out of 10 for most t6 models.... I’ll be trading this in next year for the new Ford Explorer ST. A little more room.. a little more performance....captains chairs... when you guys have kids you’ll understand.....why Land Rover doesn’t offer them in the disco is a disgrace......
Great video good job guys
Thank god Jakub salvaged the passenger visor test. I almost had to downvote this video.
I'm here for my people
wait Jakub...? sounds like he has slovak or czech parents...
This is my dream car - you can boooom in it across Europe 120-220km/h and still be able to get through heavy snow, over rocks etc. Also the design IMHO is perfect! And it's not bricked SUV with soft suspension.
That thing looks meeeaan. Love the review!
Volvo accessory wheels are amazing! Just look at the 21inch 5 spokes on the S90!!
You guys should review more wagons! I'd like to see A4 Allroad and V60 videos.
Nice to see estates getting some love again
I just love the car. I went from XC70awd 2016 to V90CC 2020. So good handling and nice ride in any roads or off roads.
Hell yeah. The Straight Pipes reviewed my car (it's not a 2019, though -- BUT it is a T5).
I had both a sedan and a wagon on the same chassis from Volvo. Both were 940s. I feel that you can feel the extra strength from the D pillar bracing the back. There was no lack of rigidity in the sedan but you could feel something extra and it was very noticeable.
Nobody makes wagons like Volvo.
The "Chrome Rings" theme is basically an exact recreation of the gauges from older Volvos, think anything from the P2 platform (1st-gen S60 and the matching V70/XC70/XC90). They look dated on purpose, weirdly. Basically the only exception to cars in the 2001-2008 era having these gauges were the S60R/V70R and then later cars with the R-Design packages.
It's weird how much I appreciate that they put cross country on the back plastics...
Can’t wait to see the Audi review. Hopefully you guys can get your hands on a full paint version, it looks SO good!
I live in Seattle and here this vehicle is to order only. So whenever I do see one I break my neck looking at it. Maybe 1 a month I'll be lucky to see. This is my current dream car, but of course not with these 21s. Regular 18s with quality rubber.
Love Yuri's horn impression.
Definitely prefer wagons to SUVs and Volvo wagons look great.
i looked away for a second and caught it out of the corner of my eye - when you folded down the headrests, it looked like both rear passengers got taken out with a headshot. stay safe bros
I love the V90 CC. I so wanted to buy one, and especially appreciate the Ocean Race version. Went from a new BMW X5 to a new Subaru Outback Touring 3.6R. Wagons are preferred for me. I had the C6 allroad with 6MT before. Love lower center of gravity of a wagon and good clearance of the CC. The Subaru price and features are good for my needs this time around. Volvo is nicer. My next car will be the V90 CC Ocean Race with OSD
Can you guys test more of the car locking noise? Yuri has a good point about that horn, I'm looking at you Volkswagen!
That visor test was really funny.
Great video, gents! Here's hoping for a 2019 Mercedes-Benz C43/63 AMG Estate review...
Great review - as always. The Buick all-road wagon would be a comp. as well as the Audi Allroad...
That wagon doesn't exist in Canada 😂😭
Here’s a V90 CC owner! The good thing about this car is that it’s always distinctive cuz it’s soooo hard to find even a V90 on road. The bad thing is when you see a VX0, you can’t really tell if it’s 60 or 90 until you see the badge
Volvo, don’t ever give up on wagons.You make some beauties. Keep ‘em coming!👏👏👏👏👏
Great review! Interesting on going for the T5 vs T6. Can’t wait for the V60!
I think the direct conversion is off though. This costs about the same as in Canada prior to the conversion.
I love you two guys. Funniest Canadian ever.
Awwww Rex looked so sad behind the cage LOL. Another killer one for the books!!
Haha yeah so sad. He good though
Just signed up with your patreon! It's not much, but I am broke. Thanks for all your hard work!
Thanks very much!
It’s worth it!
Setting my text notification sound to Yuri’s honk imitation
Love the horn sound he made
We had one in our family for 10 months and i can insure you it's great. Only changed it this week for a depressing KIA Hybrid. Man will i miss the Volvo.
I actually held my breath when Yuri refused to do the visor test
I love the end tag of the "Subscribe , Subscribe...We didn't even....we didn't do that...(clap)"
Watched this video from the comfort of my XC60. Only reasons I picked it over the V90cc was the T8 engine. If they sold the cc or even v90 with the T8 engine in North America I'd have gone for that instead of the XC60.
Also I know you guys have talked about the infotainment a lot already, but I will say once you learn where everything is - it's great. I'd maybe like one or two of the features to have a hard button (360 cam), but you can rearrange the shortcuts page to have everything just where you like. The slowness is really only an issue at bootup for a couple seconds. But the time I've got my drink in the cupholder, phone plugged in, and seatbelt on - it's ready. The real complaint is that the voice recognition for nav is some of the worst I've used.
You guys stole our T8´s!! :p In Norway (and the rest of europe) XC60 T8 (that make up almost all XC60´s here) are built in Daqing, China because the trade war made it uneconomical to export them from China to the US. All the XC60 T8´s made in Sweden are exported to the US as it´s a big SUV-market.
I´m in for the V90CC though, so no hard feelings :p
I know this isn't relevant to this video, but I saw a Lincoln Nautilus the other day is it looks super nice and I hope you get a chance to review one!!
It’s on Patreon now
I was once getting a car fixed at a dealership, and the dealership gave a Volvo sedan. At that time there was more buttons. One button was the headrest button. I was sitting in the back, and one person was messing with buttons. :)
We looked at getting one of these, and we were really pumped, but then I searched Consumer Reports and saw their reliability. Googled up and read on some forums some horror stories of vibrations, we ended up getting a 17 land cruiser, but we really wanted this car. One horror story I read a guy had purchased this car, and had been driving a loaner for 3 months as they couldn't figure out the vibration location. I had assumed Volvos were like they were in the 80's and 90's, they just went on forever and reliability was as synonymous as their safety.
An awesome video as always
Noice review lads
I LOLed when Yuri did the horn sound :D
Great job as usual guys! I just can't wrap my head around the price for this. If I had the money, I'd certainly buy the XC90 over this.
I'm truly thinking about getting the V90 Inscription, soon. I've had a 2007 Volvo XC70 (aka V70 Cross Country) for a while, and it's time for an upgrade, and hot damn, after a test drive, the V90 is a fine automobile. Probably going to go Bronze (Pine Grey), on Brown (Maroon Seats), on Brown (Darker Wood). Wife won't let me go full brown.
VdevoV Volvo wagons have to be full brown. I had a V60 that was Ember Black, it has a bunch of brown metallic in it, with the Beechwood (tan) seats. It was a pretty car.
Do you get the Merc E class All Terrain there ? If so please test it
The regular V90 is, in my option, is a work of Art. Those tyres (tires) on the Cross Country destroy the ‘Balance’ or ...Looks of the Volvo. I don’t think this new own will sell as well as the earlier Gen(s). Especially when it’s approaching $80,ooo in a S/CUV driven market. Thanks for another well done video.
All about that Volvo life 🤩🤩
A handsome preppy car! Nice review, guys.
Chose the Audi Allroad (A4) and absolutely love it. Didn't try any volvos though. I just love the Audi interior.
That dog zoom in is priceless
Rex ❤️
Battle wagon! Never heard it but I like it. Yuri a bit grouchy in this one, we all have an off day from time to time...
Have an Alltrack myself. The price to build quality ratio is out of this world. And with snow shoes it's a winter God among men.
Thanks for the review. Looking forward to infotainment review. My V90 XC is the t6 very similar to the one in this review. After a year, I still haven't figured out how or if I can answer/hang up the phone from the right side of steering wheel like I did with my '13 XC70. To date have had to use screen which I don't like doing. Also integration of Android auto - phone works fine but haven't figured out how to use it for navigation. The nav that came with the car is what I use and isn't as smooth as Android Auto Google. Hope you talk about these items in your review. Thanks.
I ended up getting.........an XC90!! Love the Volvo ethos, design and products. Needed the bigger wagon. got a T-6 Inscription, Crystal white pearl...air ride..thinking about a Polestar tune next
Love for the wagons
Great observation about the T5. T6 throttle lag is painful but for some reason the T5 is smoother.
That's what I'm saying!
2023 model only comes in a B6 here in the US. The supercharger was replaced with a hybrid system according to my understanding.
