5 reasons to buy the 2020 Volvo V90
1. Feature rich
The 2020 V90 impresses with a variety of features, including advanced technology, premium audio systems, and a comprehensive suite of active driver aids. It offers a balance of luxury and practicality. Look out for stand-alone options such as 20-inch wheels, a Bowers & Wilkins® sound system, and integrated rear booster seats for kids.
2. Engaging drive
The V90 delivers a brisk and responsive driving experience. This might be a wagon but it handles well, and the T6 engine adds to its spirited performance. T6 models offer a 2.0L four-cylinder twincharger engine with 316 horsepower alongside standard all-wheel drive for added grip.
3. Tons of space
As you'd expect from a wagon, there’s tons of space in the back. Load up 53.9 cu-ft of trunk space with your haul from the antique store, a dog crate, or materials for your next DIY project. The seats also fold and there’s a pass-through in case you want to carry longer items.
4. Wagon style with off-road capability
Look out for 2020 Volvo V90 Cross Country models if you want extra ground clearance and all-wheel drive — great if you want a wagon that can head off the beaten path. The standard T6 models also have all-wheel drive, which gives you extra peace of mind in poor weather. The practicality of a wagon with the grip of AWD makes the V90 even more appealing.
5. High-end interior
The interior of the V90 exudes luxury with leather upholstery, wood, and aluminum accents. It's designed for comfort and elegance, offering a premium environment for both you and your passengers. If you want a little more tech, look out for the Advanced package, which adds a head-up display and a surround-view camera system.
