About the Volvo S90

Unparalleled refinement, cutting-edge tech, and sophisticated Scandinavian design combine to produce one of the world's most luxuriously engineered sedans -- the Volvo S90. Instantly recognizable in a sea of ordinary sedans, this luxury sedan helps you make an entrance with its long wheelbase, low roofline, and elegantly sculpted side profile. Its long wheelbase isn't just for show, providing a smooth ride and helping to create one of the most spacious interiors in its class. Featuring more standard safety features than the Audi A6, BMW 5-Series, and Mercedes-Benz E-Class, the Volvo S90 ensures both drivers as well as occupants will be protected against unexpected accidents. Along with the high-performance, all-wheel-drive B6 powertrain, drivers can also choose an available range-topping Recharge powertrain -- a plug-in hybrid that provides exhilarating performance along with superior efficiency and lower emissions.


What the Critics Say

"The S90's cabin is by far its most impressive feature. A mixture of high-end materials-open-pore wood, genuine leather, brushed metal, and finely grained plastics-come together in a cohesive and undeniably modern space." -- Car and Driver

"We understand the temptation to go for an established midsize luxury sedan like the E-Class or BMW 5 Series, but automakers like Volvo provide a compelling alternative. The S90 offers standout style inside and out, not to mention a capacious cabin and a reason to look past the usual players." -- MotorTrend


What's New for 2023

Much of the Volvo lineup is getting infotainment and powertrain updates for 2023, but the S90 is the flagship model, and therefore got those last year. For 2023 Volvo has changed up the trim levels, dropping the base trim and renaming the remaining two Plus and Ultimate. The Rechange plug-in hybrid powertrain has also gotten a power bump to 455 horsepower and 523lb-ft of torque.

Volvo S90 Powertrains

High-Performance Powertrains

Volvo S90 drivers receive a standard B6 AWD high performance powertrain with 295 horsepower / 310 lb-ft of torque. A 48-volt hybrid system complements the gasoline engine for additional power and efficiency.

Opt for the Recharge Plug-In Hybrid powertrain for the ultimate S90 experience. Blending a potent gasoline engine with an electric motor, this 455 horsepower / 523lb-ft powertrain adds blistering highway performance and zero emissions commuting -- in addition to all-wheel drive capability when needed.
