Volvo S90
The S90 was the flagship sedan in the Volvo lineup and the last of the Volvo sedans sold in America. Two trims were available in its final year, both lavishly equipped with standard features such as leather upholstery, wood trim, an air purifier, a panoramic moonroof, and quad-zone climate control. The top-level Ultra added a crystal gear shift, Nappa leather, and an available Lounge package with seat massagers and ventilated rear seats. Not surprisingly, the S90 also features a full suite of advanced driver-assist features. All versions came standard with all-wheel drive and a mild hybrid four-cylinder engine with turbocharging and supercharging.

Second generation Volvo S90
When it arrived in 2017, the new Volvo S90 was a significant step above the S80 it replaced. All-new exterior styling gave the sedan a premium look, with crisper lines and the new signature "Thor’s hammer" LED running lights, which were later adopted by the rest of the brand's lineup. The cabin was much more upscale than the S80's, with a distinctly Swedish vibe, featuring natural open-pore wood and leather trim. Except for its first year of production, all versions of the S90 used a longer wheelbase, creating a spacious cabin with plenty of room for front and rear passengers.
Initially, the S90 was offered with either a turbocharged four-cylinder engine (T5) or a more powerful turbo and supercharged engine (T6) delivering 316 horsepower to all four wheels. (A plug-in hybrid version was also available, which is reviewed separately.) The T5 engine was discontinued in 2020, and the T6 engine was later replaced with a more efficient mild hybrid powertrain (B6)
