Motors Editor Rob Gill test drives the Volvo EX90
IN a recent interview, TV chef Delia Smith described herself as the “Volvo” of cooking – “reliable but not very exciting”.Homeowner erects bollards on drive – but he's mocked for them being 'pointless'
Bury your foot in the carpet and this seven-seat SUV has more get-up-and-go than a sports car. We’re talking 517hp with sticky all-wheel drive.I didn’t grow up thinking, “Oooh, if I work really, really hard I could treat myself to a Volvo one day.”By the way, that isn’t a TAXI light embedded in the roofline. I was just having a bit of fun..
Hovercraft-smooth air suspension, bi-directional charging, a cinema sound system and massaging seats.Out on the road, EX90 is a thoroughbred Volvo. It feels strong and safe and assured and is easy to place on the road. At low speed and high speed, it’s 4WD. In between, its front-wheel drive to maximise efficiency. Unless you or the road conditions tell the computer otherwise.Spectre. The seats are super comfy. The reversing camera shows how many inches you are from hitting something you shouldn’t.I do have a grumble, though. CUP HOLDERS. There’s only six of them. In a seven-seater. And when the middle seat is in use, there’s only four.
Two in the front and two in the back. I’m sorry, but this is supposed to be a family car. You can’t even fit an Um Bongo in the skinny rear door pockets.
