0:00There's a truck parked on the left here
0:01. Do you recognize it? Let's see if the
0:03Volvo SOS system works.
0:05>> Yes, okay. Volvo Vietnam, hello.
0:07>> Oh, sorry, I pressed the wrong button.
0:09>> Yes, you.
0:12>> Oh my god, it’s so satisfying, everyone
0:15. Again, do it again.
0:23Do you know why I'm laughing?
0:26It's another day reviewing a car while
0:27staying cool.
0:30Why is that? Usually, when reviewing gas
0:31cars, I have to turn off the engine.
0:33Because the engine noise is loud. If I
0:35stand here to review, you'll hear the
0:36engine noise, it's very loud. So I can't
0:38leave the engine running. But today I'm
0:40reviewing an electric car, and the A/C
0:42is already on. Out here, there is some
0:44motor sound. That motor is, more
0:46precisely, the A/C compressor motor, and
0:48it's very quiet. So, what are we
0:50reviewing today?
0:52Today we are reviewing a Volvo car from
0:54Sweden, produced in the US.
0:57Volvo's owner is now Geely China, and
0:59it's getting ready to be sold in Vietnam
1:01. This is the Volvo XC 90—wait, no, the
1:04XC90 is the gas car, my mistake. This is
1:07the EX90, a car in the same segment as
1:10the XC90; it's very large, but it's
1:12electric.
1:13Meaning this is an electric version of
1:15the XC90, everyone. It's called the EX90
1:18. Today we will review the Volvo EX90.
1:31Oh.
1:55And thanks to Volvo Vietnam for lending
1:57me this car before its launch. I
1:58intended to press the front door button
2:00, but this function made me hit the rear
2:02door instead, guys. First, I have to
2:04show you the lights. These lights are
2:05quite tricky, everyone. There must be a
2:07driver inside shifting into D for them
2:09to turn on. Here, it's...okay, now
2:11shifting into D.
2:15Is it on?
2:15>> It's on.
2:16>> It's on now. Look, aren't those lights
2:18beautiful, everyone?
2:21This is a car with the most beautiful
2:23Volvo Thor's Hammer headlights we've
2:24ever seen.
2:26There, the light is turning on, look at
2:29this.
2:30The daylight is glowing, it's so
2:31beautiful, everyone. And for this
2:33daylight to turn on, there must be
2:35someone in the car. Oh, the light has
2:36turned on now.
2:38It opened its eyelids.
2:41If I'm out here and there's no one in
2:43the car, it won't open. Let's try
2:44stepping out of the car. Hey Tu.
2:51See how tricky it is? Today I’m
2:53reviewing a car, but I’m not in control
2:55of it. Get back in, get back in the car
2:57. Get back in the car.
3:02If you want to admire something
3:03beautiful, someone else has to do it for
3:05you.
3:06Oh my god, it looks like a robot,
3:08everyone. So satisfying. Overall, I
3:10really like this design. Hey, do that
3:12one more time, Tu. Oh my god, it feels
3:15so good, everyone. Again, again, one
3:17more time.
3:20Wow. Isn't it satisfying, everyone? Do
3:23it one more time. Do it again. A few
3:25moments later.
3:27>> Nowadays, car design ideas are running
3:29pretty dry. So, things like this make me
3:31feel like, yeah, the automaker is still
3:33being creative, not just focusing on
3:35screens. Alright, that's enough, step
3:37out. Take the other camera and keep
3:39filming for me. Do you know why I had to
3:40ask someone to get in? It’s because of
3:42this.
3:43This, this, this right here.
3:45>> Wait, this one?
3:47>> It means it will open this eyelid here.
3:49You didn't see it before, right?
3:52Inside, I saw it turn off.
3:55>> Meaning, when you got in earlier, it
3:57opened, so you get back in now and I'll
3:59film it for you to see.
4:00>> Alright, let's keep going.
4:05>> If you want to admire how beautiful this
4:07light is and how it performs, you have
4:09to hire a driver, you have to hire a
4:11driver, because if you're behind the
4:13wheel, you can't see the light when it
4:15opens. Or maybe it's just me being dumb
4:17, but I have to ask someone to turn the
4:19lights on and off thousands of times,
4:20because it’s so satisfying, guys. It’s
4:222026, what are automakers chasing now?
4:25Bigger screens, ambient lighting, Apple
4:27CarPlay, and round lights like those
4:29BMWs. Oh my god, meanwhile, look at what
4:31they've done here. Adding a mechanical
4:33structure makes the car look so great.
4:35Is this hard to make, guys? Probably not
4:38, but it fits a Volvo perfectly. This
4:40has always been the Thor’s hammer style
4:41light, and now with this way of opening
4:43its eyes, it’s like a robot opening its
4:44eyes. Oh my god, it’s so satisfying,
4:46everyone. Looking at it makes me want to
4:48buy it. I love mechanics. I love things
4:50that move in a mechanical way. And with
4:52this movement, I think that if anyone
4:53happens to break this headlight, well,
4:56basically, if you see this car on the
4:58road, please steer clear of the
5:00headlights. Because adding any kind of
5:02feature will inevitably drive up the
5:04costs. And when costs go up, getting
5:06into a collision is going to be a
5:07headache. Now, let's continue talking
5:10about the front end of this S90.
5:12I have to say, with Volvo's traditional
5:15design, now that they’ve covered up all
5:17the openings on this car, the front end
5:19looks so seamless and really impressive
5:21.
5:22I’m not just praising it, but somehow,
5:24it just works when they cover everything
5:26up. Once it's covered, they no longer
5:28make the grille seamless, but divide it
5:30from within, making it look like a robot
5:32. And it looks so tough. It looks so
5:35cool, guys. And this headlight design
5:37naturally reminds me of a car, the
5:39Destinator. Trust me, the Destinator is
5:41exactly like this.
5:43And up here, we can see two headlight
5:45washers, guys. These two covers are for
5:47the headlight washers. And as for the
5:49parking sensors, they’ve equipped plenty
5:50of them. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 parking
5:53sensors to give us a clear interface for
5:56the front distance and front approach
5:59angle. Oh my god, about 35 centimeters,
6:02like a tall, large SUV. And this cover,
6:04when you start the engine, it will open
6:06up like this. This means when you turn
6:07off the engine, the light closes and the
6:09"mouth" shuts as well. It’s cool, really
6:11cool, because when it’s parked, it looks
6:13fierce. But when it’s about to run, it
6:14looks like a robot. Opening this up.
6:16Opening this up. Man, it’s amazing.
6:18Overall, I’ve definitely given this
6:19headlight setup a thumbs up. Now, let's
6:20go ahead and open this hood as well.
6:22It’s like those Volvos—no, wait, not
6:24like the gasoline-powered Volvos. Do you
6:26guys remember? The hood would go way up
6:28, and only people about 2.5 meters tall
6:30could reach it to close it. But on this
6:32car, the hood is much lower. And up here
6:34we have a storage compartment because
6:36this is an electric vehicle. Isn't that
6:38cool? This space here is for the
6:39reflective triangle, everyone. Warning
6:41triangle. A three-sided reflective sign
6:43, and they're so confident they don't
6:45even need a lock for it. Just place it
6:47there. Inside here is a box, what is it
6:49? Ah, air compressor. This is the air
6:52pump and also a tire repair kit.
6:53Nowadays, cars have all done away with
6:55spare tires, everyone. If a car has an
6:57issue now, you just use the repair kit;
6:59there's no spare tire to use anymore.
7:01They even marked the optimal 50 PSI
7:04level, convenient right? Connect the
7:06nozzle, plug this into the cigarette
7:07lighter socket, and you're done. Simple
7:10, effective, and no need to carry a
7:12heavy spare tire that consumes extra
7:14power. And in the old style, if it were
7:16Europeans, they would use a tie-down
7:18strap. But the Chinese use this adhesive
7:20patch.
7:23Just press it on and you're done.
7:25It's finished. And what else?
7:28This adhesive patch will last forever.
7:30And if it breaks, order a 15,000 spare
7:32part and that's it. While Europeans
7:35would go with two rubber straps. Two
7:37rubber straps, and they'd have their own
7:39part number, so if they stretch or break
7:41, you have to order theirs.
7:43Very ruthless. So, what else do we see
7:46here? This is a Johnson explosive charge
7:48. Safety system made in China; it will
7:50detonate and pop the hood if there's a
7:52collision.
7:54Wait, let me Google this to be sure.
7:59Why is it that before, this feature was
8:02on some Le's vehicles?
8:04Now let's see if Volvo actually has the
8:07same thing. This is the Volvo Hood
8:09Pyrotechnicator. In the event of hitting
8:11a pedestrian, this will detonate. It's
8:14an explosive charge that detonates to
8:16help protect the pedestrian. It saves
8:18lives but costs the car owner money.
8:20This feature is on the Les, it's very
8:22expensive, everyone. Very safe, very
8:24expensive. But between the car owner
8:26spending money and compensating someone
8:29for an accident, this is still more
8:30effective. Volvo has been famous for
8:32safety since long ago. Even the strap
8:36seatbelt
8:41Only Volvo would dare to do that.
8:43Because it's tough. The seatbelt crossed
8:45over the logo, and now they apply those
8:47safety standards to their vehicles. In
8:49this era of electrification, what do we
8:51see? This car is slightly different from
8:53the international version because the
8:55international one has a Lidar sensor on
8:57top. It should have had this Lidar here
8:58, but the Vietnamese market version
9:00doesn't. That is a bit of a shame. But
9:02when brought to Vietnam, the Lidar
9:03cannot be used. Why is that? Lidar works
9:06in conjunction with the traffic
9:07infrastructure provided by the
9:09government to allow the car to drive
9:11itself fully and more safely. But in
9:13Vietnam, with its chaotic traffic, Lidar
9:15is very difficult to use. A bit
9:17unfortunate. If it had that feature,
9:19this car would be even more perfect, and
9:21I tell you, it would be even better. So
9:23, what cool things from Volvo do we have
9:26here? First, we have a premium set of
9:29Michelin Pilot Sport EV tires, sized 265
9:3345 R21. They are huge.
9:36And inside, you will see they use a
9:38brake setup along with a cover here.
9:41Look at this. Do you hear that sound?
9:43It has a cover on the inside.
9:48This cover helps optimize air resistance
9:50and also allows outside air to cool the
9:52brakes through an inner housing.
9:55Ah, these are the very unique features
9:57of this car. And looking deeper inside,
9:59you will see the A-arm is absolutely
10:01massive. The A-arm is huge. The aluminum
10:03A-arm and aluminum steering knuckle are
10:05very large. And looking at it, I can
10:06confidently say it's as big as a Range
10:08Rover's. In this clip, I will show you
10:10the monstrous aspects of this car. And
10:12they intentionally made it this robust
10:14to make the car safer and more premium.
10:17Since being acquired by Geely, Volvo has
10:19changed a lot. Above is a mirror
10:21assembly, and this mirror assembly is
10:23different from other cars currently on
10:25the market and similar to those on the
10:26Chinese market. What is it? This mirror
10:29assembly, the entire mirror housing
10:31adjusts itself. With other cars, you can
10:33only adjust the mirror glass itself. But
10:35on this car, the entire housing adjusts
10:37. And does it look familiar to you? It's
10:39very familiar, I won't name names, but
10:41it is very familiar. As for the body,
10:43this EX90 isn't too tall because, for a
10:45full-size form, it should be much taller
10:47than me, but I find it's only about 1.75
10:49meters high. I'm a bit taller than it.
10:51For the doors, we can see flush door
10:53handles, but they aren't completely
10:54hidden. These handles are mechanical,
10:56everyone.
10:59And when you touch it, look, it
11:01intentionally helps you open it.
11:08See that?
11:09It deliberately pops out to make opening
11:11it easier.
11:12Here, you can open this door and it will
11:14close gently.
11:16Since it's a flush door, it misses the
11:19feature of being held at various opening
11:21levels like German cars, so this is both
11:23an advantage and a disadvantage.
11:25With German cars, you can open them at
11:27any angle, which makes them easier to
11:29use, but they aren't durable because
11:31they use hydraulic struts that don't
11:33last.
11:35But this car only opens at a few fixed
11:37angles. That is a criticism when talking
11:39about large SUVs. European large SUVs
11:41are still more clever with these things
11:43. Now, let's look at the rear door.
11:45Volvo intentionally made the rear door
11:47very easy to enter through.
11:50See? The space to get in is very easy.
11:52This door doesn't open 90 degrees; you
11:54win some, you lose some. The door's
11:57limit strap restricts it, making the
11:59entry space a little bit uncomfortable.
12:02This area is straight and wide, but the
12:04door cannot open wide enough. And behind
12:06this is the socket where we can plug in
12:08to charge. Uh, it has both AC and DC
12:10charging ports. Charging port. Is it
12:12electric, I wonder? It’s not, everyone.
12:15Manual effort. This is the rear wiper,
12:17covered by a cowl to help improve
12:19aerodynamics. And this rear wiper
12:21doesn't have a spray nozzle either. It
12:22sprays directly from the wiper itself.
12:24It has a tube right here. Inside this
12:26wiper arm, can you see the holes? It
12:28sprays out of these holes, which costs
12:30more money.
12:31This technology was on trucks, but now
12:33it's used on commercial cars, so if your
12:35rear wiper breaks, you'll have to pay a
12:37lot for a genuine replacement. See, this
12:39is a genuine Volvo tube, not just a
12:42standard wiper arm. But when covered by
12:44this panel, it shades it from the sun,
12:46which helps prevent UV rays from
12:48damaging the wiper. That’s just what I
12:50think. Now, looking at the rear, what do
12:52you see that’s special?
12:54Clearly, the design, height, width,
12:57length, and taillight size are quite
12:59similar to a luxury vehicle: the
13:01Rolls-Royce Cullinan.
13:04The Rolls-Royce Cullinan has set a
13:06standard for the design of large SUVs.
13:10You’ll see a black strip stretching from
13:12left to right, with a flat panel
13:14extending down, creating a rear section
13:16that’s square-ish at the top before
13:18tapering off.
13:20It has that Cullinan-like feel, and it
13:22looks incredible.
13:24Very beautiful. At the rear, we have
13:26four sensors—1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 PDC
13:29sensors in total—and the "EX90" badge,
13:31along with "Twin Performance," meaning
13:34it has two motors, and for the departure
13:37angle, you don't even need to measure it
13:39; it's very high. You can adjust the
13:42height; let's try setting it to the
13:44highest level, it’s already at the max,
13:46let me show you the highest point, it's
13:48very high, right?
13:50Now I will open it back up so you can
13:52see it when it lowers.
13:59Okay, it's lowering now.
14:02And look at the tail when it's lowered.
14:04And when the tail is lowered, you’ll see
14:06the car looks much sleeker and cooler.
14:08The rearview camera is also hidden in
14:10here, see? It looks completely tucked
14:12away inside. And in this position,
14:13you'll notice that dust doesn't get
14:15kicked up, which helps keep the camera
14:17cleaner. However, it would be great if
14:18they learned from the Chinese and added
14:21a small sticker here so we could spot
14:22the button easier. But this rear end is
14:24one of the most beautiful SUV designs
14:26out there right now. Seriously. Seeing
14:29this rear end on the road really makes a
14:31bold statement, everyone. And up here,
14:33we have a spoiler design.
14:35It probably helps with aerodynamics,
14:37since this car's drag coefficient is
14:39very impressive. I think it’s around
14:420.24 cd. That's fantastic.
14:45Now, this is the trunk space of the
14:47Volvo EX90, and you’ll see that the
14:49trunk is huge if you fold down the two
14:52rear seats.
14:53Here’s the charging kit. Wow, the
14:54charger looks really nice too, doesn't
14:57it? Back here, you'll see there’s even a
14:59deep storage compartment underneath.
15:01Isn't that great? Oh my god, this is one
15:03of the largest storage compartments I’ve
15:05ever seen. And what’s the advantage of
15:06this storage space? If you have all
15:08seven seats occupied, this spot helps
15:10you maximize your storage capacity.
15:11Other cars don't have this; their rear
15:13space is limited because of the spare
15:15tire. But for this one, they’ve removed
15:16the spare tire entirely. The battery
15:18pack is tucked inside, so this area
15:19becomes a storage space. Thanks to this
15:21spot, you can stand a suitcase upright,
15:23which helps hold more, though the floor
15:25is a bit high. But since the floor is
15:26high, we can lower it. There. Fast,
15:29right?
15:31Is it fast? Raising it back up now.
15:34Oh my, isn't that satisfying? Pumping
15:37the rear up now. Lowering the rear now.
15:39It's touch-sensitive, not even a
15:41physical button anymore. I could play
15:43with this all day.
15:45Going up, coming down.
15:48And the air release sound from this
15:50suspension system is even smoother than
15:53on the Lincoln C900. Smoother than the
15:55Range Rover too. Now, let's move on to
15:57demonstrating the folding seat function
15:59.
16:01This car has power-folding seats. Look,
16:03the seatbelt doesn't get pinched.
16:06Clever, isn't it? Now for the left side
16:08.
16:10The belt isn't getting caught here
16:12either. Clever, right?
16:14Really quite clever. Just a tiny gap is
16:16enough to keep it from getting pinched.
16:18Opening it up now. It clicks into place
16:20very gently. And notice, for a
16:22seven-seater vehicle, having this much
16:23storage space in the back is a blessing
16:25, everyone. A blessing that there's room
16:27for suitcases. Small ones, of course,
16:29because large ones won't fit. But that
16:31is still very spacious for a
16:32seven-seater car from Europe. Let's do
16:34it one more time. Folding the seat.
16:40Opening the seat.
16:44Oh my, isn't that satisfying? Wow, it
16:47feels so good. Alright, now we'll close
16:49the trunk, that's enough playing around
16:51. When you get into this car, do you
16:53know what the first impression is? It's
16:55very similar to stepping into a BMW. Why
16:57do I say that? It's because the foam in
16:59these seats is firm, and the moment you
17:01sit down, you immediately feel that this
17:03car is incredibly solid. It’s not the
17:05soft, delicate style of a Mercedes-Benz
17:07; it is definitely not soft, my friends
17:10. But when you get in and touch the
17:12rigid steering wheel and the firm
17:14leather seats, you suddenly think, "Wow
17:16, this car is solid!"
17:18And it's true, this car is among the
17:20most solid vehicles on earth. That
17:22solidness comes at the cost of being
17:24very heavy; for safety, everything has
17:26to be bigger and thicker. And this is
17:28the type of car that, once you buy it,
17:29you can rest assured that you'll make it
17:31home every night.
17:32There are other types of cars where
17:34whether or not you make it home at night
17:36depends on whether you're lucky while
17:38driving. But with this car, lucky or
17:40unlucky, you'll always get home safely.
17:42That's how it is. Now, let me explain
17:45how to open the glasses case. Oh,
17:47opening it, I discovered there's no
17:49place to put glasses, right? Now, I will
17:51talk to you about how they design cars
17:53and why it's like that.
17:56Notice that Chinese people often sit on
17:58traditional wooden furniture, and their
18:00living room interiors are usually
18:02colorful, featuring red, black, and
18:04various patterns.
18:08Americans are practical; it could be
18:10square-shaped, light-colored, and so on
18:13.
18:15But Europeans tend to be minimalist.
18:17European living rooms are simple, which
18:19leads to European car interiors being
18:21simple, with the exception of
18:23Mercedes-Benz. This is Swedish, or more
18:25accurately, the Swedes are minimalist.
18:28Minimalist in the sense that you'll see
18:30an interior space here with everything
18:32imaginable, but it's designed with
18:34simple colors, simple styles; everything
18:36is very simple. This part here is wood.
18:38The wooden surface is very flat and very
18:40beautiful. And it has wood grain that
18:42feels great to the touch, right? This is
18:44metal right here. Literally, it's metal
18:46. It’s shiny, but it has that genuine
18:48metal shine, not plastic. There. There's
18:50a notch here; I'm not sure what it's for
18:52, but it creates an accent right along
18:54this metal trim.
18:55Here, you'll see a metal trim extending
18:57from left to right, and then it suddenly
19:00dips down right here.
19:02This is a stylized version of the
19:04Swedish flag. But personally, I feel
19:07that by stylizing it here, it creates a
19:09mark in that spot, which feels a bit
19:11like a waste. Overall, it's a matter of
19:13taste, but I personally think it
19:14shouldn't be like that. It should just
19:16be one continuous strip. Up here is soft
19:18leather, soft leather, soft leather. And
19:20when you look in here, you'll see the
19:22most extravagant, most elaborate, most
19:24flashy point is the Bowers&Wilkins
19:26speaker. This center speaker is so
19:28beautiful, everyone. Oh my, there are
19:30even two wings on the sides. It looks
19:32like a missile tail, very beautiful. And
19:35perhaps this is the fanciest detail on
19:37this car. But it also gives off a very
19:39mechanical look. Other than that,
19:40everything else is simple to the point
19:42of monotony. We have a force-sensing
19:44steering wheel cluster. Force-sensing,
19:46mind you. One thing about this car is
19:48that you won't find a start-stop button
19:50. If you want to start the car, you just
19:52need to shift into D. And this P and D
19:54button has a very satisfying sound.
19:59I could press it all day because the
20:00sound is so satisfying. Up here, we have
20:03a cluster to adjust the audio system and
20:05volume.
20:07Underneath, it looks like this part is
20:09made from a seashell or something. Very
20:11beautiful. This spot here is for
20:13wireless charging. And right here, there
20:14is also a storage compartment. It is
20:16simply just a storage compartment. And
20:17the cup holder is very simple as well.
20:19Here is the key. It is a key card. Oh my
20:21, cars are getting simpler by the day.
20:23Inside here, we have a storage
20:24compartment. And we can cover this
20:26compartment to use it as two levels, a
20:28lower level and an upper level. This is
20:30a very clever design by Volvo. Because
20:33if it were too deep, it wouldn't be
20:34convenient to get your things. And up
20:36here is a system where you can see the
20:39360-degree camera.
20:41You can adjust it to view all the angles
20:43.
20:44Rear camera, front camera, 3D view, and
20:47camera off.
20:49You can open the compartment here with a
20:51button or you can have quick-access
20:53buttons.
20:54For example, "defrost" which means quick
20:56windshield heating. Apple CarPlay and
20:58Android Auto are not available, but it
21:00has Google integrated right here. Google
21:02integrated right here. So you can adjust
21:04it for use. It seems Google hasn't been
21:06set up on this yet, otherwise it would
21:08display a map here. And up here is the
21:11gear shifter cluster. We shift gears on
21:13the steering column, just like in
21:15Mercedes vehicles. Over here is the
21:17cluster where you can adjust the turn
21:18signals. Doesn't the turn signal sound
21:20satisfying? Here is the windshield
21:22washer. Here is the rear window washer.
21:24And the high-beam flasher. All on the
21:25cluster on the left side. The right side
21:27is only for shifting gears. And then if
21:28you flick it down once more, that's for
21:30cruise control. While this left cluster
21:32is for the system that assists you with
21:33autonomous driving. On the door, we have
21:35the Bowers&Wilkins speaker system, which
21:37is very beautiful because of its surface
21:39finish.
21:40I really like these brushed metal
21:42surfaces. It looks so beautiful,
21:43everyone. And you open the door using a
21:45latch on the door handle. There is one
21:47detail I really don't like: they use a
21:50dual-action button system, meaning if
21:52you press it once, it opens the front
21:54window. And if you press it again, it
21:56controls the rear window. But when
21:58driving, you have the issue of having to
21:59look down to see which window is
22:01selected. Overall, I get very frustrated
22:03with these touch-sensitive things. And
22:04on this door, you have a very large cup
22:06holder. Really huge. This cup holder is
22:09very big. But the bottom of this
22:10compartment is made of leather, not
22:12plastic. This means when you put a cold
22:14drink in there, condensation will form,
22:16and it will cause that leather area to
22:19be in direct contact with water, which
22:21isn't great. Up here is a very nice area
22:23with an SOS button. There’s the interior
22:26light switch too. Let me call SOS to see
22:28if it actually works. Red, twice. Let’s
22:30see if Volvo's SOS system is working.
22:32>> Yes, Volvo Vietnam, hello.
22:34>> Oh, sorry, I pressed it by mistake.
22:37>> Wow.
22:40>> It works, it works safely. If you
22:42encounter an issue, you can call Volvo—
22:44safety has to be like that. I thought it
22:46wasn't working just a moment ago. Now
22:48for the air conditioning, we have the
22:50Eco air system, adjustable as normal.
22:52You can even adjust the rear air
22:54conditioning right here. Using the
22:56buttons on this panel. And there's an
22:58air purifier, so you can check the air
23:00quality both outside and inside.
23:03And this air purifier works to help the
23:05car here.
23:06Focus air cleaning, that is.
23:09It helps filter out PM 2.5 fine dust
23:12inside the car, making it cleaner so you
23:14don't have those tiny dust particles
23:16around. This is fine dust. Then there's
23:19a timer you can set to run the air
23:21conditioning. You might plan to leave
23:23for somewhere at 1 PM this afternoon.
23:25You can set it so it turns on right at
23:27that time or a little bit before. Very
23:29convenient. This is a really great
23:30feature, and honestly, I just wish my
23:32car had this feature. But my car has an
23:34app that can turn on the air
23:35conditioning remotely. This car probably
23:37has wireless charging too, right? Just
23:39place it here for wireless charging. On
23:41this side, we have a storage compartment
23:43for items. This spot is smarter than the
23:45ones in other cars. It's because we can
23:47see it much more easily. Since this area
23:49is open, you see. If you put your wallet
23:50here, you'll see that you've placed your
23:52wallet right there. Below here are two
23:54USB-C charging ports, and the space here
23:56is large enough for a bunch of stuff.
23:57The seats are fully power-adjustable in
23:59all directions, controlled by a single
24:01button like this. Do you see it here?
24:03The button. And this car has a great
24:05feature: the seat adjustment isn't slow
24:07, it's very fast. Watch this. It's very
24:10quick, which suits someone in a rush
24:12like me.
24:15Just one button for all the tasks. It
24:17seems to have seat cooling, doesn't it?
24:19Oh, it even has massage. On the
24:21passenger seat, you can see it has
24:23adjustments. Massage, modes A B C D E,
24:25massage speed, and intensity. Then press
24:28start and it will start the massage.
24:30There. Right here. It's massaging the
24:32seat now. Wow.
24:35Now, what do we have on the driver's
24:37side? Adjustments.
24:39You can press here to adjust the
24:41backrest or have the two side bolsters
24:43hug your body more or release them.
24:46And for forward and backward adjustments
24:48, since there's only one button, it has
24:50to control a lot of things. You can even
24:52adjust the massage settings. Start. Oh
24:54wow. The driver's seat has a massage
24:55function too. And the massage lasts for
24:57a maximum of 20 minutes. After that, it
24:59turns off, and you have to press massage
25:01again. Here on the central cluster
25:03screen, it's a bit dusty. I'll wipe it
25:05for everyone to see.
25:12There, clean.
25:14This cluster screen displays "Hello,
25:17bread" and "shift to D".
25:21You have to place the key here for it to
25:23be recognized, then shift to D and it's
25:25ready. And this screen, this "ready"
25:27text, is very similar to those cars I'm
25:29afraid to mention. And now we'll start
25:31with the criticisms of this car. We've
25:33praised it enough already, right? Now
25:34it's time to criticize. Up here, you
25:36won't find any controls to adjust the
25:38steering wheel. Over here, you'll notice
25:40the mirror controls are missing, right?
25:42So where are they?
25:43They must be inside the screen.
25:46Setting control mirror and wiper
25:48steering wheel.
25:50Go to adjust steering wheel.
25:53Press steering wheel to adjust it up and
25:55down.
25:56Here, adjusting the steering wheel up
25:58and down using this button. Does it look
26:01familiar?
26:02It's just like Tesla, it's like VinFast
26:04, it's just like those two brands. And
26:07it's very annoying, you guys. Oh my god
26:09, why can't you just let me adjust it on
26:11the outside? And that's not all. That
26:12was just for the steering wheel. Now,
26:14adjusting the mirrors. Side mirror. Left
26:16to adjust left, right to adjust right.
26:20Frustrating.
26:22Please, car manufacturers, just separate
26:24these out. Put them on the outside. Why
26:27on earth do you have to put them in here
26:29? I criticized VinFast for this back in
26:31the day. Every time I have to do this,
26:33it's extremely annoying. It's not over
26:35yet, guys. Folding the mirrors now. Let
26:37me do it from the start for you to see.
26:39The process to fold the mirrors. I have
26:40to make sure there's no interface up
26:42here for it, there isn't. So we'll click
26:44on menu, no, let's click on the car icon
26:46. Oh, it only has trunk release and
26:48mirror adjustment here. Finished
26:50adjusting the mirrors, right? Folding
26:52mirrors. Let me show you how fast these
26:54steps are. Press here. Step one. Step
26:56two. Step three. Just to fold the
26:58mirrors. What the?
27:00And that’s not even for adjusting them.
27:02Now, step one, in here.
27:05Step two. Steering wheel here. Step
27:07three. Then start adjusting. Oh my god,
27:10can you guys please make driving a
27:12little easier for us?
27:13For the HUD, sure, put it in the menu
27:15since you don’t adjust that often. But
27:18for folding mirrors? Imagine driving
27:20into a narrow alley and needing to fold
27:22them, while the local fish lady is
27:23yelling at you— "Ma’am, ma’am, hold on,
27:25I’m still fumbling with this." If you're
27:28quick, fine, but what about someone slow
27:29? Fumbling, fumbling, there, into this
27:31menu, here, here, here. Then into, into
27:34, into, into, into driver adjustment.
27:36Into, into, into folding mirrors. She’d
27:39probably smash the mirror right off.
27:41Anyway, this seems to be the common
27:43trend for all car brands now. They
27:45integrate everything into the screen.
27:46Physical buttons cost money to make, so
27:48they just put it all on the screen. It
27:50only costs one screen. Extremely
27:52annoying. Right, now let’s head to the
27:55second row to review the second row of
27:57the Volvo X—my bad, everyone. Let’s
27:59adjust this properly, guys. 176cm
28:01sitting here. 176 here. Okay, let’s go
28:05to the second row so you can see the
28:07space back there. Oh my, that door sound
28:10. Whoo, let’s do that again.
28:13Wow, this is one of the most satisfying
28:16door-closing sounds I've ever
28:17experienced.
28:19So nice. Right, the air vents are on the
28:22B-pillar. So cool. There’s another vent
28:25down here too. And you can adjust the
28:26airflow and temperature with this button
28:28here. Up here we have an elastic strap
28:30to hold items in place. Now, the rear
28:32seats. Wow. Sitting in this Volvo while
28:35driving, it feels so solid and great.
28:37Rear seat recline lever here. The middle
28:39seat is a completely separate unit that
28:41can also be folded down. And if you
28:42don’t fold it, you can just leave it up
28:44.
28:45To adjust the backrest of the middle
28:47seat, you have to pull this strap so
28:49this seat aligns with that one before
28:51you can open this.
28:53There.
28:54And here is the cup holder. I promise
28:56you, this part will be extremely easy to
28:58break. This type of opening mechanism
29:00here.
29:01Now closing this, what do we see? What
29:04do you notice about the operation? This
29:06spot is for the person sitting in the
29:08third row—oh, sitting in the middle of
29:10this car, it's a completely separate
29:12seat. Yes, this is a completely separate
29:14seat. Whew, this seat should be for
29:16people with stiff necks and shoulders
29:17because it's hard. Wow, that feels great
29:20. Sitting in here, I naturally feel my
29:22chest opening up. Now moving back to
29:24this seat, you just saw my operation,
29:26right? Meaning when I adjust this seat—
29:28where is it? I adjust this backrest
29:30angle, right? Adjusting this backrest
29:32angle. But if this seat hasn't been
29:34adjusted, say it's sitting at this angle
29:36, you'll feel it pressing into you, and
29:38you'll have to pull this to adjust it
29:40down so it's spacious enough. This car
29:42has good length, but for three people as
29:45big as me to sit side-by-side, it's not
29:47comfortable at all, guys. Its width is
29:49just not wide enough. It's a little bit
29:52narrow in terms of width. And up here,
29:54we have a hook for hanging items. A
29:56light here. The light is very beautiful
29:58. There. The microphone is up here.
30:00And when you open and close this door,
30:02you automatically trigger the rear air
30:04conditioning, helping the car cool down
30:06faster.
30:08There are things that work automatically
30:10based on the door. Now, how do we get
30:12into the third row?
30:13We fold this down to climb in, right?
30:16But for the second row, you have to
30:18adjust it to a moderate position. Now
30:20I'll show you the third row if adjusted
30:22like that—wait, I missed a part of the
30:24review, everyone. We still need to talk
30:26about the space in this second row. The
30:29footrest here extends all the way to my
30:31knees. But the floor is high because
30:33it's an EV, so the floor is raised. I
30:34don't like this. The floor is high. Some
30:36lady wearing whitening cream must have
30:38sat here. There's so much cream residue
30:40all over. In the back, we have two USB-C
30:42charging ports, and up here, we have a
30:43glass roof. Oh my god, it's hot. I'm not
30:46acting here, guys. It really is hot. Up
30:48here is, uh, a panel that can change.
30:51Hey, press it for me, Tu. See, that way
30:54it's dimmed. Now press it again. So it's
30:56bright now. The dim and the bright,
30:58everyone. So this uses electrical
31:00technology; integrated into this glass
31:02panel are some molecules that combine
31:05when an electric current passes through
31:07. I have that film at home, too. I
31:09thought about buying it to play around
31:10with, but the film was too thick. Now
31:12they've integrated it directly into the
31:13glass. So, what's the advantage? The
31:15advantage is that it provides privacy,
31:17but it's hot. It's still hot, guys.
31:19You'll still have to spend money to tint
31:21this because it's way too glaring.
31:25As for materials, back here we have
31:26leather, and I have plenty of headroom
31:29because there's just glass and no
31:30sunshade.
31:33So, if you get this car, you'll have to
31:35pay to tint it or make a cover for it,
31:37otherwise I guarantee you won't be able
31:39to stand sitting here. Oh, I haven't
31:41told you guys about the seatbelt yet.
31:43This seatbelt is labeled "Since 1959."
31:45Back in 1959, Volvo shared their
31:47seatbelt technology with the whole world
31:49, I think. Probably. Now, I'll move to
31:52the second row. How do we get into the
31:54second row?
31:57Well, these things are causing...
32:00Alright. Okay. Now I'll adjust the
32:02middle seat. Is it still sit-able, guys
32:04? Still okay to sit, right? That seat
32:06over there. I'll adjust it here so you
32:08can see if it's still usable. Still okay
32:10to sit, right? I'll set this seat to an
32:12upright position. This seat reclines,
32:14and I'll climb into the third row.
32:18Of course, this space is meant for a
32:20different type of person. Hold on a
32:22second, guys. The AC turns on
32:23automatically once you sit down. So,
32:25there must be a sensor right here. I
32:27can't possibly sit like this. There has
32:28to be a way to adjust the backrest. I'll
32:30look for a strap or something. Let's
32:31just assume I'm being dumb here, guys.
32:33This seat is just stuck like this. It
32:34won't recline any further, guys. Are you
32:36serious? Let me press the button and see
32:38.
32:40You've got to be kidding me. So that’s
32:42it, and to open it back up, the person
32:44in front has to do it. Oh, it only opens
32:46up this much, everyone. So this seat is
32:49meant for people about 1.6 meters tall;
32:51someone my height can't fit. And the
32:53person in front should really sit a bit
32:55more considerately. Just sit like this.
32:57Ah, this latch is only for closing. This
32:59latch only closes it; it doesn't adjust
33:01the seat in front. It stays at this
33:03recline angle. It cannot adjust the
33:05recline. From this, the person in the
33:06front seat has to adjust the angle. This
33:08means a person in the third row can get
33:10in and out. But in terms of independence
33:12, it’s not the same as sitting in the
33:14second row. So that's how it is. As for
33:16the third row, you can see that if you
33:18sit upright, there's still some space
33:20here. My feet can tuck underneath. My
33:22feet can tuck right into this middle
33:24section here. Whoever said reviewing
33:26cars is easy, try doing it in the
33:28scorching noon sun like this. But if the
33:30person in the second row sits selfishly
33:32like this, you’ll see it’s like this. It
33:34hits my legs, and I can't even sit. It’s
33:36going to dig right into my legs. So the
33:38second row should just sit like this so
33:40I can be more comfortable. And honestly
33:42, sitting back here, man...
33:46Sitting back here is just like this.
33:49Small people can sit back here, but for
33:51me, forget it.
33:52They were clever with this spot, but
33:54this compartment wastes a bit of space,
33:56which is a pity. And in the back, there
33:59is a storage compartment as well as a
34:01USB-C charging port, everyone. On the
34:03C-pillar, there are air vents, and in
34:05the back, there is a large window as
34:07well as hooks for the third row.
34:10Overall, these details are quite nice.
34:13For the second row, you can even adjust
34:15the height of the seatbelt.
34:17You can adjust the height of the
34:18seatbelt right here. It has dual-pane
34:20glass on all four windows, everyone. See
34:22, the rear glass is dual-pane as well.
34:24This helps the car with better sound
34:26insulation. On the headrests of the
34:28front seats, both of them, there are
34:29speakers. And how do these speakers work
34:31?
34:32When we are on a call, we talk and the
34:34sound only comes out for us to hear.
34:38Also, when you are reversing and there
34:40is something behind you, it will alert
34:42you through the speaker
34:46in the headrest, and at the same time,
34:48the interface on the screen changes too
34:50. You will see that the speaker alert
34:52here makes the sense of space clearer.
34:56There you go. And the people sitting
34:58around aren't disturbed by the noise.
35:01Because the only person who needs to
35:03know is the driver.
35:04But there is a trade-off. Because if the
35:07driver loses focus, the passengers won't
35:09hear the warning to assist.
35:14With this car, when you are driving in
35:17the rain, if the rain sensor speed isn't
35:19fast enough for you, you have to go into
35:21this menu, press menu, then tap rain
35:23sensitivity to adjust the wiper sensor
35:26sensitivity here.
35:29Everything is on the screen now. It also
35:32has a one-pedal drive mode where you
35:34only need to use the accelerator, but
35:36this mode is very jerky, so avoid it,
35:38don't ever touch it, and now, G-force
35:40turn. Wow.
35:43Wow.
35:45The dual-chamber air suspension combined
35:47with the massive control arms shows
35:49tremendous effectiveness. This Volvo S90
35:52is smooth, smooth, smooth, smooth,
35:54smooth like a magic carpet on the road.
35:57It's literally as smooth as a magic
35:59carpet. Now, I'll go into the menu.
36:02Menu, settings, driving, control,
36:05charging. I want to adjust the
36:07suspension, but there is nothing for
36:09that here at all. I have to use Range
36:11mode.
36:12Wow, I'm so frustrated with this
36:14on-screen adjustment style. For the
36:16steering, we can adjust between two
36:18modes: soft and firm. Soft is soft, firm
36:20is hard. That's it. Here is the
36:22suspension, it can be set to firm. It’s
36:23currently on firm, switching to soft.
36:25There, switched to soft suspension. Let
36:27me try going over this bump. Whoa.
36:31It's soft, but it feels quite different
36:33from other air suspension cars I've used
36:35, except for British air suspensions.
36:39This feels very much like a European car
36:41. Volvo is still Volvo, still European.
36:44I mean, in terms of interface and
36:45usability, it’s not really European
36:47anymore because it’s so complicated on
36:49this screen. But in return, the driving
36:51feel still gives me that European touch
36:53, so I feel it’s okay. It is a car worth
36:55buying from the Europeans. The
36:56suspension is so smooth, everyone. The
36:58suspension is super smooth. It has 21-
36:59inch wheels, by the way. I have to
37:01repeat, it's 21-inch wheels but the
37:02suspension is extremely smooth. And it
37:03dampens vibrations quickly. It’s not
37:05bouncy, but you should still switch to
37:07soft mode.
37:08Soft mode will be more comfortable
37:10because air suspension, no matter what,
37:13is softer than oil suspension.
37:16So even if you set it to firm, it won't
37:18be as stiff as oil suspension, and it
37:20gives us a more pleasant feel without
37:22being wavy, everyone. As for drive modes
37:25, we have one, two, three, four modes:
37:28range, standard, performance, and
37:31off-road. Range is for optimizing
37:33driving distance, which is basically Eco
37:35mode; standard is the normal mode you
37:37know, and performance gives us maximum
37:40power output. Regarding electric cars, I
37:42don't want to mention power or torque to
37:44you anymore because they are already too
37:46powerful. There’s no reason to mention
37:48those things. Because any electric car
37:49is the same; you step on the pedal and
37:50feel the power. Even the VF3. Its torque
37:52is there immediately. So you can see
37:54it’s very powerful when in the hands of
37:56someone who knows how to drive. Now we
37:58will focus on the driving feel and the
38:00operating sensation of this car. I'm
38:01traveling at a speed of 60, or close to
38:0460, let's say.
38:06The steering wheel of this car is
38:08designed to be very responsive, and
38:10Volvo did a great job giving the
38:12occupants a slight sense of steering
38:14feel and how the car body moves.
38:19Meaning, when you steer, the body moves
38:21, and the passenger feels that it moves
38:23as intended, rather than the nose
38:25pulling ahead of the tail like some
38:27Chinese cars. It doesn't feel artificial
38:29. And this steering wheel filters out
38:31everything, absolutely everything from
38:33the road surface. Everything is
38:34eliminated through this steering wheel.
38:36You will be driving a car that provides
38:37zero feedback from the road surface
38:39through the wheel. And one of the
38:40factors that makes a person enjoy
38:42driving is the ability to feel the road
38:43through the steering wheel. As for
38:45someone who doesn't like driving, this
38:46is the type of car that will make them
38:47say, "Wow, driving this is great, it's
38:49so smooth, it's smooth, even the
38:50steering wheel feels firm and smooth."
38:51It has absolutely no feedback at all. So
38:53it caters to two different types of
38:55people. Some people will not like this
38:56type of steering wheel. Like me, for
38:58instance. But many others prefer a
38:59steering wheel that doesn't give them
39:01any road feel at all. Just a normal firm
39:03feel is fine. So this is the kind of
39:05steering wheel for those people. And to
39:07be honest, the simplicity of this car is
39:09starting to make me feel it's a bit
39:11monotonous.
39:12Some people might like this style, but
39:15personally, I'm trying to like it.
39:17But honestly, I'm feeling that the
39:19things I need to control the car—
39:21exactly that, to control the car—are
39:23nowhere to be found. Then on the cluster
39:26, we can see important information
39:28displayed, for example: range, speed,
39:30battery percentage, driving modes, and
39:33so on, plus wipers, auto lights, and
39:35such. The screen panel is placed close
39:37by, so we can see that the text is very
39:39easy to read. In return, there's the
39:41information we need to know. For
39:42instance, if you're driving an electric
39:45car, you'd want to see an energy
39:46distribution chart jumping up and down.
39:48This car doesn't have that, guys, it has
39:50nothing at all. It gives me the feeling
39:52that it has absolutely nothing. Flick it
39:54down once, and it enters cruise control
39:56, adaptive cruise control, where it
39:58detects the road surface, the two lanes
40:01, and drives itself for us. Electric
40:03cars accelerate incredibly fast. Now
40:05I'll set the speed to 60, the permitted
40:07speed on this road, and you'll see its
40:09ADAS will drive everything, holding the
40:11steering wheel itself, so you don't need
40:13to touch it anymore. Every once in a
40:15while, just nudge it to let it know
40:17you're holding the wheel. Turning,
40:18turning, turning, turning, turning,
40:20turning, turning, turning, turning,
40:22turning. There, it's turning. Isn't it
40:25great? No need to hold the steering
40:27wheel.
40:29Slope. Wow.
40:32Smooth. I would rate it as smooth. Slope
40:34. Okay, that works. I haven't touched
40:36the steering wheel for a while, it just
40:38gives a reminder. And now, these types
40:40of vehicles make driving a lot more
40:42effortless. Truly effortless. No need to
40:44steer anymore. This might be a pleasure
40:46for some people. Certainly not for me,
40:48because I prefer to have more control
40:50over the car. I hear Volvo is safe. I'll
40:52make a U-turn and test if this truck
40:54will get hit.
40:58Because recently, some reviews said that
41:00some Chinese cars might not detect the
41:03rear of a vehicle, so the test
41:04conditions must match exactly what the
41:06manufacturer trained the car for.
41:11Whatever model the manufacturer trained
41:13the car with, that's how it understands
41:15it. The ability to avoid a stationary
41:17rear end is hit or miss.
41:19Some cars can avoid it in those exact
41:21situations.
41:23Some cars can't, so you should focus on
41:26driving and never trust that the car
41:27will brake on its own. Now I will try
41:30again with this car. Wow, it's so smooth
41:32, everyone. This car is smooth. The road
41:35noise coming from the undercarriage is
41:36very minimal. When the suspension is in
41:39firm mode, it gives just a bit of road
41:41feedback to the body. It doesn't
41:42eliminate it completely. I prefer this
41:44style because it feels firmer. If the
41:46suspension is too soft, you'll feel very
41:48uncomfortable while driving. Now, I'll
41:50turn back here. Self-driving on. Plus,
41:52plus, plus, plus, plus, 60. Okay, 60 now
41:55. There’s a lot of overgrowth here.
41:58I'm not sure it can handle this because
42:00after this turn, there's so much brush
42:02that it will follow the lane and hit the
42:04branches.
42:05It will definitely hit the branches.
42:08I have to help steer it a little. Wow,
42:10that's scary. That was way too close. So
42:13scary. I'm keeping my foot ready on the
42:15brake. This is a very risky situation,
42:17and you shouldn't try this at home. Only
42:19crazy people like me would try this.
42:21There’s a car parked in the left lane up
42:22ahead. Will it recognize it or not? A
42:24truck is parked in the left lane. Does
42:26it see it? Does it see it? It sees it.
42:27It sees it. It braked, everyone. It
42:29braked. My foot is ready right here. See
42:31? My foot is still out here. It braked,
42:33guys. Whoa. It actually braked when I
42:36got close. But that doesn't mean it will
42:38always brake. So please be very careful
42:40and do not try these things. Because in
42:42life, luck only goes so far; you can
42:44only be saved so many times. Now, let’s
42:47go over this rough road. Look at all
42:49these bumps here. Wow, wow, wow, wow,
42:51wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. Very
42:55smooth. But with 21-inch wheels, I’ll
42:57adjust the suspension to soft. It's a
43:00European-style smoothness, meaning
43:02smooth but firm, not loose like some
43:04Chinese cars or the floaty feeling of an
43:07MPV. This smoothness feels quite solid.
43:09I highly value this type of comfort, and
43:11for some reason, the car feels very
43:13stiff to me. The body and the chassis
43:16feel really rigid. It feels very solid.
43:18The steering wheel is at speed 36, but
43:20just turn it and it reacts immediately,
43:22very sensitive. They intentionally made
43:24the steering sensitivity high. Bump,
43:26bump. Bump. Bump. Bump. Smooth, very
43:29smooth. And as you can see on this
43:31screen, it detects the truck in front
43:33and identifies many surrounding vehicles
43:34and alerts immediately. See that? When
43:36getting too close, it alerts right away
43:38. It even detects motorcycles coming
43:40from the opposite direction. It can
43:42identify everything on the outside.
43:44Although it doesn't have LiDAR, it can
43:46still recreate the surroundings through
43:48surrounding sensors and cameras.
43:50Wow, wow, wow, wow. This type of car
43:53could definitely sell well.
43:55If people test drive this car, they will
43:57be captivated by a Volvo that is smooth
43:59and more powerful than the Volvos we
44:01have known. The car's body feels very
44:04solid and stable. And now I will try a
44:06light acceleration, guys.
44:08Oh my, goodness, two motors are very
44:10different, and I'm in standard mode;
44:13it's very powerful, everyone. Oh wow,
44:15this kind of power is incredible. It's
44:18best not to drive this car like that
44:20because passengers will get very carsick
44:22. Wow, it detects everything. It detects
44:24all the cars around. If the steering
44:26drifts, it immediately corrects it for
44:28me, and it corrects it quite abruptly.
44:30Corrects it instantly. Going through
44:32this area, the road is worse. And these
44:34types of roads are very common in the
44:36West. So bumpy. Oh my, great. 21-inch
44:39rims with thin tires, but the body feels
44:41so good and smooth. What will it be like
44:44on a nice road at high speed?
44:46Environmental noise insulation, wind
44:48insulation, very little wind noise
44:50coming in. Road noise isn't coming
44:52through either, very little.
44:54I think this will be a model that drives
44:56sales for Volvo. Because I see very few
44:59people driving Volvos on long trips.
45:02Most people who buy Volvos choose the
45:04car for its safety.
45:06And with a car that has a range of up to
45:09600 km per charge, it's not a car that's
45:11too daunting for long trips.
45:14600 kilometers is more than enough for
45:16you to drive all the way near Nha Trang
45:18before needing a charge. For a car, that
45:20is plenty.
45:22When you get there to charge, you should
45:24also take a break to see if the body
45:26response is actually good. That's right
45:28. Body response. Okay, very okay.
45:31And this seat has these two side
45:33bolsters to hug your body.
45:36You can adjust how much these bolsters
45:38hug you.
45:39I find that it helps me sit very
45:41securely and stably in the car. In a way
45:43, this sensation gives me a feeling of
45:46safety. It’s like being protected. The
45:48doors are also high, so it feels like
45:50it’s enveloping me, which is great. This
45:52is the kind of car where you feel like
45:54you're sitting in a tank. It’s very
45:55sturdy. Bad road here. No sound echoing
45:58inside. Great. This car is very great.
46:00In terms of chassis, suspension,
46:02steering, and power. This car is just
46:04too powerful. And another factor you
46:06should remember about Volvo cars is what
46:08? Volvo has long been famous for
46:10equipping a very high-end sound system,
46:12Bowers&Wilkins with high power.
46:15And with an electric car, since it
46:17eliminates all environmental noise and
46:19lacks the high-frequency engine sounds,
46:21the sound system performs even better.
46:24The B&W sound system for this car is
46:26excellent. I have to use the word
46:28excellent. It's like a concert hall,
46:30everyone. Because this car's space is
46:33enclosed and quiet. Sitting in here, you
46:35enjoy that serenity combined with a
46:36great sound system; there is nothing to
46:38complain about. To sum up, what do I
46:40criticize about this car? I feel it's
46:42heavy, and it really is heavy. I
46:44criticize the touch controls and
46:46features hidden in the screen, making it
46:48difficult to use.
46:50This interior is monotonous, so some
46:52people like it, some don't. It's niche,
46:55very niche. I even feel like the ambient
46:57lighting might as well not be there.
46:59It doesn’t create a lot of colors or
47:01anything flashy; it’s quite monotonous.
47:04So, it’s meant for people who like
47:06what’s called "quiet luxury"—no, let's
47:09pronounce that properly in English:
47:11quiet luxury. So, you know, you win some
47:14, you lose some, everyone. They’ve also
47:16changed the design of this steering
47:18wheel; it’s no longer that old Volvo
47:20style that looked bulky and a bit crude
47:22. Now it looks more modern with a
47:23three-spoke design. There’s chrome
47:25plating here. See. The leather feels a
47:27bit stiff. This is recycled leather,
47:29using recycled materials. So, some
47:31people will like it, others won’t.
47:32Personally, I find it a bit stiff
47:34compared to other leathers I’ve
47:35encountered. I like this kind of
47:37firmness, whereas some people prefer it
47:38soft—genuinely soft, comfortable, and
47:40pleasant to the touch. But this isn’t
47:42that kind of leather. As for the space,
47:44like I described earlier, it’s just like
47:46a Nordic living room. Too simple,
47:48there’s nothing to it. Oh, there’s one
47:50more factor: this panel right here. This
47:52panel will definitely get a lot of
47:53criticism because it’s very hot. If you
47:55touch it, you’ll feel like you’re
47:56getting burned, everyone. Even though
47:57it’s white, touching it feels like it’s
47:59going to burn you. Overall, it’s smooth
48:00, powerful, and beautiful. Whether it's
48:02ugly is debatable, but it is unique.
48:05Flashing lights, a rugged undercarriage
48:07that can handle rough roads. This type
48:09of undercarriage is built for rough
48:11handling. Yeah, hit those potholes, it
48:13can take it. Dual-layer soundproof glass
48:16, HUD, AI, and integrated Google.
48:20This specific car hasn't had that
48:22installed yet, so I couldn't use it.
48:25Apart from that, I can't find anything
48:27to criticize because it's a Volvo, and
48:29that’s just how they are.
48:31It’s only going to suit a certain type
48:33of person. It’s not mainstream; it’s not
48:35for everyone. Look, an ES 350 just came
48:38back from the port.
48:41That looks pretty nice, huh?
48:45Beautiful.
48:46I’m on the road where cars come from the
48:48port, so every now and then I get to see
48:50cars that might not even be launched yet
48:52. But seeing one is one thing, while
48:54getting to drive it is another. For
48:56example, this car hasn't been released
48:57yet, but I've already gotten to drive it
48:59. Driving with this chassis, you
49:00naturally feel like you want to go
49:01faster because it's so solid; it's
49:03really great, very stable. But even with
49:05a 600km range, you'll see it drains
49:06quite a bit when driving in the city.
49:08That's because this car's frame is too
49:10heavy.
49:11Being so heavy, every time we accelerate
49:14and decelerate to overcome inertia, it
49:17consumes energy; I received it at 50%
49:19and after just two days, it’s down to 17
49:22%.
49:24This would be much more convenient if
49:25you had a home charger. Say what you
49:27will. Driving an electric car that you
49:29can charge at home is still the most
49:30optimal way. Because if you drive an
49:31electric car and always have to go to a
49:33charging station, it's really exhausting
49:34, everyone. That time should be spent on
49:36your kids and family, instead of sitting
49:38at a charging station. Except for those
49:39who drive for a living, that’s their
49:41life and they have to; but for us normal
49:43people, if you can't charge at home,
49:45it’s best to buy a gas car, a hybrid, or
49:47a plug-in hybrid. Because buying an
49:48electric car and then constantly having
49:50to wait at a charging station is really
49:52a pain, everyone. I couldn't stand that
49:54.
49:55It’s not about showing off or anything,
49:57but that's just the proper way to use it
49:59, everyone. Why sacrifice your time and
50:02health to sit at a charging station when
50:04you could be at home sleeping, resting,
50:06lying in bed playing with your kids, or
50:08helping them with homework? How can you
50:10just sit at a charging station? Well,
50:12Volvo owners don't have that problem.
50:14Because if you own an electric Volvo,
50:16you'll definitely be able to charge at
50:17home. A car that costs over 2 billion
50:20also filters its customer base.
50:23So, after driving this for 3 days and
50:25using it. I’ll be honest with you all, I
50:27really miss the crystal gear shifter of
50:29a Volvo. This one is also interesting,
50:31it has its own style. Having a crystal
50:33gear shifter here would look better. I
50:34guess I’m just old-fashioned, everyone.
50:36There is one thing I think this car
50:38should have, which is running boards. It
50:40would be nicer if it had a retractable
50:43running board, but with this current
50:44design, it covers the dirt so your pants
50:47don't get messy when you step out. So,
50:49if you install a manual running board,
50:51you’ll be ruining this clever design
50:53from Volvo. What do you think of the
50:55EX90?
50:57Personally, I just wish I could adjust
50:59it so it opens and closes continuously.
51:02Do you remember the old days?
51:04There was a trend back then of pop-up
51:06headlights that would open and close,
51:08but it was later banned because it was
51:10dangerous for pedestrians, so now
51:12they’ve created a new style of light
51:14that blinks.
51:15This is also a design style that helps
51:17the car look more unique, modern, and
51:19creative. This EX90 is in the same
51:21segment as the XC90, but the price will
51:23be extremely reasonable because it's an
51:25electric vehicle, and you'll get tax
51:27exemptions along with many government
51:29incentives currently available. At this
51:31price, you used to only be able to buy a
51:33small four-seater, but now you can get a
51:35large seven-seater like the EX90, which
51:38I think is a great deal. Of course, you
51:40have to let go of the flashy elements
51:42found in a Mercedes-Benz. When you
51:44choose Volvo, you certainly have to look
51:47past the flashy, ornate elements of
51:49Mercedes-Benz or the agile driving
51:51dynamics of BMW.
