00 :00 :10,500-->00 :00 :27,500

Hello friends! Welcome! Sweden has offered the world a lot of nice things: IKEA, Swedish
meatballs, SAB, hot dogs from IKEA and Swedish swimsuit models. And not at least...Volvo!

00:00:29,500-->00:00:43,500

Volvo which made amazing cars like: P1800. A Volvo P 1800 holds the record for the greatest
distance travelled off all time with a personal car.

00:00:44,500-->00:01:01,500

This car had in 2013 3 million miles. Who knows how much it has now? Well...this producer:
Volvo offers today for a test the Amiral ship: Volvo S90.

00:01:23,500-->00:01:48,500

Under the gorgeous hood of our S90 its the diesel engine called D5. Its a diesel engine of 2
liters and 235 HP and a torque of 480 N/m at 1750 rpm. There are a lot of numbers, but what
they mean in our everyday life? It means that when you accelerate at any speed, the car starts
without any interruption in couple.

00:01:49,500-->00:02:10,500

I dont know exactly what spells use those from Volvo in theirs turbines, but this car starts
exactly when you accelerate. There is only one moment when the gearbox stays a little to
think at the right gear, but after it had thought, the acceleration is straight and its a pleasure
to drive it. We will see soon!

00:02:17,500-->00:02:32,500
Because Volvo S90 must be a useful car, the trunk must be spacious. And because we are in
the 21th century and Im too lazy to use my hands...Yes! It knows to do this thing!

00:02:33,500-->00:02:50,500

So, we will see the trunk of 500 liters: a trunk smaller with 20, 30 liters than the rivals E
Class, A6 and 5 Series. Yet, the cargo space is big enough, so we can charge larger and wider
objects very easily.

00:02:53,50000:03:04,500

And, those 20, 30 liters...I cant see theyre missing. Its not such a big difference. Its such a
big trunk! And if I opened it with my leg, I will close it with my hand.

00:03:27,50000:03:40,500

So, we are driving on a straight road and we are going to a place where we will take some
photos and...Look! My hands and legs dont do anything and the car takes the curve on its
own.

10

00:03:42,50000:03:54,500

Yes, the car can drive itself on a straight road. As you can see, I sometimes put my hand on
the wheel because the car says to me to do this to ensure that I am still in front of the steering
wheel and I may intervene if something happens.

11

00:03:55,50000:04:09,500

But, most of the time I gesture with both hands and the car works autonomously. I turned off
the automatic pilot and I only left cruise control adaptive.
12

00:04:13,50000:04:26,500

The driving experience in town at the board of the new Volvo S90 is a little more special than
in other cars from the same class. And this isnt because of its suspension, engine or gearbox
(all these are exactly how its suppose to be).

13

00:04:27,50000:04:40,500

The engine is pretty quiet, the gearbox changes gears exactly when it must even if it needs a
little second to think when you accelerate. So, you cant ask more from this car.

14

00:04:41,50000:04:52,500

The visibility is very good, the suspension is forgiving...well, if you dont pass with high
speed a hole in Bucharest which shakes you even if you drive a Bentley.

15

00:04:53,50000:05:04,500

I like very much the driving position and the seats are incredibly comfortable. So, its obvious
that this car is made for long roads or roads that should be short, but become longs because of
the traffic.

16

00:05:05,50000:05:18,500

And now, because we talked about traffic, I will apply the brake and I will turn on Cruise
Control Adaptive because...YES! Those from Volvo, the safety champions want to take a bit
of the stress of driving in the city.

17

00:05:19,50000:05:34,500
So, the car has just applied the brake because a taxi driver passed in front of me. You have
heard the signal and the car applied the brake itself. I didnt plan this, it just happened.

18

00:05:35,50000:05:45,500

Now, I want to show you Cruise Control Adaptive. We will arrive to a traffic light, you will
hear the engine stopping because we have the option Start/Stop and I will turn on Cruise
Control Adaptive.

19

00:05:46,50000:06:23,500

This means that until a speed of 30 km/h, the car will follow the front car (who is that taxi
driver). We stopped, we press this button: Cruise Control and now the car should follow the
front car. I took the foot off the accelerator, the taxi driver went a little fast...now I dont
accelerate, the car keeps a speed and now I must accelerate because the traffic is faster.

20

00:06:24,50000:06:36,500

It seems that Volvo S90 isnt accustomed with the traffic from Bucharest. But, let see if it
applies the brake on its own yes, its starting to brake. Now, I apply the brake because Im
a little afraid of this system.

21

00:06:37,50000:07:04,500

And we stopped! So, in the city all security systems create another experience when youre
driving. For example, you cant cross on the road marking (even on lower speeds):
continuous or interrupted marking. You cant cross these lines without feeling a shaking on
the steering wheel and moir than that the car will correct your direction and will bring you
again on your lane.

22
00:07:04,50000:07:10,500

Swedes dont deny that they want to remain the undisputed champions of safety.

23

00:07:20,50000:07:39,500

Finishing and the attention for details are obsessive in the new Volvo S90.the stitches seem to
combine perfectly, this wood from the dashboard looks very, very good and the leather is
incredibly soft to the touch. You can touch any place and you wont find plastic.

24

00:07:40,50000:08:07,500

There are everywhere soft touch materials. And there are everywhere little details. For
example: on the seat belt is written: since 1959.Then, those from Volvo invented the 3-point
seat belt grip. This thing can found today in every car since 1959 thanks to Volvo.

25

00:08:08,50000:08:19,500

In the back of Volvo S90, the main word is comfort. Look, the leather is soft to touch, seats
are comfortable and I cant get down from here.

26

00:08:20,50000:08:39,500

The controls for air conditioning are digitals and they seem from a video game. The only
problem is that this transmission tunnel is pretty high and the third person who seats in the
middle will have to stand with one foot on one side and with the other o the other side.

27

00:08:40,50000:08:54,500
I must mention that its possible to touch the ceiling with the head. The other two passengers
wont have any space problem: at legs or head.

28

00:08:57,50000:09:20,500

To understand why I was so impressed: I present to you the door! Look, how good the panels
from this door blend! I would like you to feel how soft is this leather and the covers from
Bowers & Wilkins system (not at all a cheap system) are made of stainless steel.

21

00:09:21,50000:09:35,500

This handle which seems to be a polished piece of one part, a unitary and a metal one.These
buttons have the exactly click needed when you press them.

22

00:09:36,50000:09:43,500

I swear! The attention to details in this car is an obsessive one. But, the result is as expected!

23

00:09:53,50000:10:08,500

I will show you now some little components of the interior. Starting with this little tiny
wheel: Drive Mode as you can see. Its a wheel which selects the main feature of the car: Eco,
Sport and Comfort.

24

00:10:09,50000:10:26,500

Look at its striations and how it looks: like a little jewel. The same characteristic has the
switch of Engine, Start/Stop. I say its a switch because isnt a button like we found in other
cars, but its a little switch turned to Stop or Start.

25
00:10:27,50000:10:44,500

It looks incredible! Like this is the volume button which has striations like all others. It
moves very slowly, but with a satisfying click. I say all these because its a meticulous
attention to details.

26

00:10:45,50000:10:54,500

Also an attention to details: here in the main console its a special space to store the key.

27

00:11:01,59900:11:19,500

This is the Infotainment system from Volvo. As you can see, it reminds of an Apple tablet: a
simple design with only one button: here! We can press it and we will have a short tutorial:
look! Now, lets see the main menu!

28

00:11:20,50000:11:34,500

We have the navigation that we can start very quickly from here. We can set immediately a
new destination. Radio or Bluetooth (auxiliary) or other devices.

29

00:11:37,50000:12:06,500

Phone (we can connect a phone) and some downloads of operating system. If we glide to the
right, we have the quick applications: AM/Fm, Bluetooth, USB, iPod and Auxiliary. Down
here, we have some settings: Messages, Vehicle condition, Performance, Navigation and
Apple car play. Attention, this system has only Apple Car play and not Android Auto.

30

00:12:07,50000:12:25,500
If we come back to the Main Menu and we glide to the left, we will find different functions of
the vehicle. We can turn off the ESC, various assist which are turned on because Volvo is a
safe car: we have plenty of sensors which are permanent active.

31

00:12:26,600 00:12:39,500

We have distance alert (if we can get too close from the front car, the car alerts us). We have
here a camera (we can see 360 degrees around the car). Its very practical when we practice
parking in town.

32

00:12:40,50000:13:11,500

The car parks itself, the car exit itself from the parking lot, we can fold the rear head
restraints, we can make different settings of head-up display. We can find other safety
systems like this one: when we have a car to the left or right in the dead point of the mirror a
light appears in the mirror which warn us.

33

00:13:12,50000:13:27,500

The option: Road sign information which reads road signs and shows in the board. We can
adapt the speed limit, the automatic pilot...a plenty of safety settings because this is a Volvo!

34

00:13:28,50000:13:39,500

And, down here we have the controls for air conditioning which are very easy to use. And, as
you can see the touch screen responds incredibly well at commands.

35

00:13:40,50000:13:53,500

You must probably think that S90 costs a fortune! You arent wrong! It really costs a fortune!
But, despite this is cheaper with 2000 euro that its rivals from Germany.
36

00:13:54,50000:14:10,500

So, for 2000 euro less, you have a car more special than what Germans sell nowadays. Our
Volvo with an engine of 5.0 and integral traction starts from 55000 euro.

37

00:14:11,50000:14:27,500

If we add that our car has the Inscription equipping which costs 45000 euro, so our car costs
almost 60000 euro. But, for what car you receive, this should not be bad at all.

38

00:14:28,50000:14:34,500

Im going to drive it a little bit more because I like to be seen in such thing.

39

00:14:36,50000:14:46,500
