Overview
With its largest and most expensive sedan, Volvo goes its own way. The 2023 Volvo S90 doesn't try to match established competitors from Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz with regard to power, performance and prestige. Instead, the S90 is a stately Scandinavian car with a simple, clean, uncluttered appearance and a focus on environmentalism and safety. Highlights include efficient electrified powertrains, impressive safety engineering and technology, excellent seat comfort, and a serene interior loaded with quality materials and approachable technology.
Cost to DriveCost to drive estimates for the 2023 Volvo S90 B6 Plus 4dr Sedan AWD (2.0L 4cyl Twincharger gas/electric mild hybrid 8A) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.77 per gallon for premium unleaded in Virginia.

Avg. Large Car
Last year, Volvo added a new standard engine with a 48-volt mild hybrid system to improve efficiency and performance, and it upgraded the S90 Recharge model's plug-in hybrid powertrain to deliver nearly double the electric driving range before it switches to gas operation. Volvo also improved its infotainment system with Google-based features and an updated interface. This year, the familiar Momentum, R-Design and Inscription trim levels are gone, replaced by Plus and Ultimate trims, each paired with a Bright exterior treatment of chrome and metallic accents.
Volvo also separates itself from its rivals by playing in the space between midsize and traditional large flagship luxury cars. The result is a compelling value equation, especially if you want a plug-in hybrid that offers plenty of real-world driving range. Be sure to check our Expert Rating to learn more about the 2023 S90.

Rated for you by America's best test team.Performance
8/10
How does the S90 drive? We tested the Volvo S90 with the plug-in hybrid powertrain, which Volvo calls the Recharge. That means there's both a gasoline engine and a battery pack that allows for an estimated 38 miles of all-electric range. Acceleration is quick and relatively smooth, and there's plenty of power for passing on the highway, though it sometimes takes the transmission a second to kick down a gear. It's easy to come to a smooth stop, and the brakes are strong enough to give you confidence in panic situations.
This isn't a sport sedan, but the S90 Recharge feels composed on winding roads. The steering lacks road feel but is light and direct, which helps make parking a breeze too.

Comfort
8.5/10
How comfortable is the S90? Volvo's seats remain some of the best around. Soft but supportive padding is wrapped in great-feeling leather. There's a good bit of adjustment, and the S90 Recharge is available with heated and ventilated seats both front and rear. The S90's ride isn't quite as insulating as some other luxury cars, but bumps in the road are muted rather than amplified. The climate control system works quickly and quietly.
Interior
8/10
How’s the interior? The S90 splits the difference in size between midsize and full-size luxury cars. There's acres of rear seat room, with plenty of space for passengers well over 6 feet tall to stretch out. Headroom is equally ample, helped by the bucket-style seats. The low seats make getting in and out a bit of a climb, but the large doors mean it's easy to swing your legs in. It's not difficult to find a relaxed, comfortable driving position that places most controls within reach. Visibility is generally good too, though the rear window is a bit narrow.
Save as much as $11,268 with Edmunds Click on the trim you’re interested in to see what Edmunds suggests you should pay to get a good deal. Savings vary by trim; $11,268 refers to estimated savings off of MSRP for the Recharge Plug-In Hybrid T8 Ultimate trim.

Technology
8/10
How’s the tech? The S90 Recharge is loaded with just about all of the tech and driver aids we expect from a modern luxury car.
The vertically oriented touchscreen greatly simplifies the control layout since there are hardly any physical buttons. But some commonly used features are buried multiple screens deep. Interface quibbles aside, the XC60's Google integration is generally pleasing, including Google Assistant voice controls and an impressive Google Maps display. One high note is the excellent audio system. It's clear and loud, but it doesn't get buzzy or mushy when pushed.
Volvo has always focused on safety, and the S90 comes with a good suite of driver aids such as blind-spot warning and automatic emergency braking as standard equipment. The suite is not as refined as some we've experienced, but it wasn't throwing up any red flags either.

Storage
7.5/10
How’s the storage? The S90 Recharge might have more passenger space than its rivals, but it falls short when it comes to cargo space. The 13.5-cubic-foot trunk is one of the smallest in the class, but the space itself is wide and low, so you can utilize what's available. The rear seats do fold down in a 60/40 split, which helps open up the rear at the cost of a seat or two. Storage up front isn't great either. The center console is shallow and can't even fit a pair of sunglasses. The door pockets are fine but don't fully make up for the lack of storage elsewhere.
Getting a car seat in and out is a much easier task. You'll have plenty of space to move around while installing or removing a seat. Anchors are easily accessible, and the copious legroom is a boon for rear-facing seats.

Fuel Economy
8.5/10
How’s the fuel economy? The S90 Recharge is a plug-in hybrid. The EPA estimates that it can drive about 38 miles on on all-electric power before switching over to regular hybrid operation. We've also found that Volvo's Recharge plug-in hybrid powertrain is capable of meeting or exceeding the EPA's estimates for fuel economy in real-world driving.
Value
8.5/10
Is the S90 a good value? The S90 Recharge really shines here. It offers more passenger room, more standard features and far more power than any rival at its price. The gap increases when you stack it up against some plug-in hybrid SUVs. And it's not like Volvo was cutting corners elsewhere. The interior is handsome and clean, with excellent wood and leather trim and interesting touches.
Volvo offers a four-year/50,000-mile basic and powertrain warranty. Additionally, Volvo includes four years/unlimited miles of roadside assistance and three years/36,000 miles of free maintenance. That's as good as or better than coverage offered on just about every other plug-in hybrid around.

Wildcard
8.5/10
This Swede oozes cool charm. Plus, the Recharge version has an appealing combo of up to 455 hp and 38 miles of all-electric range The fact that it's wrapped is such a clean and conservative design makes it a bit of a sleeper. It's not the most engaging or athletic luxury car on the road, but it's far from boring. It stands out without standing out.
Which S90 does Edmunds recommend?
Volvo's new lineup is simpler than before, and the S90 Plus base model has more standard equipment this year, but we still recommend the highest trim level, the S90 Ultimate. The Ultimate remains a good value, allowing for an easy and justifiable upgrade to the top trim. And if you want the more powerful Recharge plug-in hybrid drivetrain, it comes only in Ultimate trim.

It’s a BIG and Plush vehicle. +1, 2, & 6 years in!
5 out of 5 starsHowie K, 06/06/2019
2019 Volvo S90 T5 Momentum 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
I generally favor sportier cars, but now I am driving a Volvo S90 T5 which I got at a lease price that I could not refuse! [Actually less per month that my former Infiniti Q50.] So I will say I got a lot of bang for the buck. This is a luxury car that one would not mind being chauffeured in. The rear passenger area is HUGE and comfortable. I can finally sit in front passenger seat … and not even have to think about adjusting the seat for rear passages leg room. The Driver’s seat is very pleasant for sitting and was designed by a Orthopedist. The package came with a Blonde (white) interior which (needs occasional cleaning), is wonderful and elegant. I would say it is the most nicely appointed car I ever owned. (And I have and had several MB and BMWs).
The Tech is amazing! Though sometimes touch screen is a bit overwhelming. The great thing is that you can put the car on Auto Assist Pilot, play with it without worrying about hitting anything on the road. (PS I do not support being a distractive driver, but this practically eliminates it under the right conditions. Always be alert).
The Auto Assist Pilot is from the future. It is not quite at Tesla level, but does much to keep you very safe while also removing the the tedium of Stop and Go traffic. Driving is now an ‘AHHH”. (My insurance rates actually went down when ordering this car.). It is a wonderfully solid vehicle. I will lend this Car to anyone of my family and know they will be safe in it. Gotta love that Swedish engineering.
The trade off is the sporty feel of performance. The Volvo is powerful for a 4 cylinder, and I get 25.5 mpg. (Again better than my past Infinity). 0-60 is quite good for a car this size, but you do lose the ‘feel’ of lungeing acceleration. (But you can use electronic options). It is a great luxury (family) car before it is a sports car. The ride is firm as you ‘float’ over the road. It’s very nice and quiet. Long trips are a pleasure. All in all, it is a car to enjoy the ride in. If you can get great deal on this extremely plush car, don’t hesitate. (P.S. also drove the Volvo S60 for the while. The ride and feel of the S90 is much better).
{A buying note: Volvo pricing is company set and it is difficult to negotiate a lower price When visiting other dealers. There is not much wiggle room so choose the dealership with the best service.}
1 Year Later - still the most comfortable car I ever owned. A pleasure to take a ride in for long road trips.
Pros: Orthopedically Seats 5 w/ enough backseat legroom to play football in. No more squishing upfront seat to allow backseat room. Trunk is large doesn’t seem to be. I guess it is the awkward design. Low but deep. I Love how in winter seats & steering wheel heat up to settings automatically when temp is below 40 degrees. 3 individual temp settings (not even my son’s Tesla S has that.). The Swedes made it solid and sure foot in harsh weather. It is my go-to car in snow and slush. Much better handling than my wife’s Mercedes C Class (which isn’t bad). This car is tank-like sturdy. An idiot SUV driver already backed into my rear fender in a parking lot, and l had no major damage. Have no doubt it will do a great job protecting passengers and family in a crash. (HF).
Con: I still find the screen controls cumbersome and confusing. The car has only driver 1 USB, so had to plug in a hub to use both phone and SD music card (no biggie). I have found that the autopilot is not perfect. It will veer of the road (not follow the road lines in certain situations, [with steep curves in road at higher speeds) so keep you hands on the wheel and pay some attention, [so NO napping!], but it is still a great feature 90% of the time.. But Is still a pleasure to take the stress out of everyday driving.
Still love this car as the next evolution in driving.
TWO YEARS IN;
Still enjoying the ride. Still a very comfortable, plush and quiet car to drive. Volvo has engineered a great car. Some of the Lux tech is great. ex- I can preset the the temperature (like an alarm clock) so I can enter the car at my preferred climate for trips to and from work.
However, center panel navi-entertainment system gets a bit tiresome. Not simple to operate. And the Nav system itself, while 98% accurate most of the time. Does not adjust best route for traffic & other delays. I miss my old Garmin made system (ie-MB). However, I do enjoy the S90’s ride.
6 years in- Still a great car! But some Cons: Low maintenance, except the tires have tendency to bubble. (Replaced 2). I am tired of Nav system, Voice loading is 85% wrong most of the time. No HD traffic updates either. Volvo has a very expensive annual app renewal cost. Strangely the rear windshield rubber gaskets have started to disintegrate (but no leaks yet). Got a rear end ram by a ‘distracted’ (texting) driver, but no harm to me thanks to the safety features. {$7500 in damages though. And the shop could get the Collision avoidance sensor system to work right again, but eventually Volvo fixed it.
But still over all love the car.

2018 Volvo S90 T6 Momentum 4dr Sedan AWD (2.0L 4cyl Twincharger 8A)
I have had my S90 for one month and couldn’t be happier with every moment of my experience. After testing other marquis brands, the S90 was suggested and my search was over.
It glides under the radar, yet is sleek, luxurious, quiet, powerful and beyond comfortable. It is a drivers car in that I need to participate and I like that.
Give it a shot and move over to the UnCola side of life. … You will be happy you did!!

2018 Volvo S90 T5 Momentum 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)
The S90 is a beautiful car. The proportions are perfect, and the styling is classic. The interior is the best place to be of any of the 50 plus cars I’ve owned. The aesthetics are perfect. The performance of my T5 AWD is what I expected, not a killer, for sure. I knew that going in, and if performance with a capital P was totally important, I would have sprung for the T6. My … driving is mostly highway, and 250ish HP is a OK. And now the minuses. The corporate 4 cyl. is....well, a 4 banger. It isn’t particularly smooth, and doesn’t sound that great either. It’s obviously a modern motor, but suffers from a cylinder deficiency in a large car application. Sorry Volvo, but one size really doesn’t fit all. It isn’t a horsepower issue, it’s about refinement and smoothness. Lastly, the ride...it’s not that great. Even on a smooth interstate highway, you can feel too way much road. I understand it isn’t a Rolls or Big Jag, but it isn’t an C class either. Volvo would do well to farm out the chassis tuning if they can’t do better. Bottom line the S90 is one or two cylinders and a more compliant chassis away from a World class near luxury sedan.
UPDATE. Seems a large part of the road harshness was not one, but three Pirelli P Zero tires that were not able to be balanced, or maybe not exactly round. After replacement the road noise and vibration/harmonics are hugely improved. Second ride update...after replacing the O.EM. Pirelli P Zeros with Michelin Primacy Tour A/S tires, the ride characteristics are excellent.
MY GAS MILEAGE. Now that the S90 is well broken in, I can report Interstate mileage of 32.9 MPG on my last long trip. This is at speed limit plus 4 mph, i.e. 64-74 mph. My suburban every day driving is right at 25 mpg. I am not a feather foot.
Last update: The Volvo is gone at the end of the warranty period. It was a very good experience, but not good enough to buy another or purchase an extended warranty. The T5 is just not a satisfying motor, even considering it’s the base offering. Another issue is the headlong plunge into electrification by Volvo. I applaud the effort, but I don’t want to own a ICE Volvo when the company is in a mad rush to discontinue my technology. So goodbye sweet S90, hello Lexus.

2018 Volvo S90 T6 Inscription 4dr Sedan AWD (2.0L 4cyl Twincharger 8A)
Updated 6/23/21: I have now owned my S90 for 3 years. This is the second Volvo I've owned, prior to this I owned a XC60. I have owned a Mercedes diesel sedan and a Lexus SC400. The S90 has most of the bells & whistles because there weren't many cars to choose from on the lot. I love how roomy it is and the leather seats. Favorite feature is the heads up display. I'm looking to buy … a second car but really hard to consider buying my dream sports car without the heads up display. The reason I didn't give this a 5/5 is because I had to take my practically brand new car in when my turn signal and several other features just stopped working. Also, the tires cost a fortune and a big chuck broke off when I parked...badly. I do love the car for road trips because it's a smooth ride, performance is like driving a jet, and the upgraded stereo is awesome.
Update: I bought my dream sports car and I still own my Volvo S90. I use my S90 for my daily driving. I really like all the upgrades my S90 has and I haven't had any problems since the initial glich so I'm updating to 5 stars. I think I'll end up keeping this car even when I buy another car because I really like this car.

Volvo S90 vs. Audi A6
In their top trim levels, the Audi A6 55 TFSI and Volvo S90 Recharge are similarly priced. However, the Volvo's plug-in hybrid drivetrain offers significantly more power than the Audi's mild hybrid turbocharged V6, and the S90 Recharge can travel 38 miles on electricity while the A6 55 TFSI, umm, can't travel anywhere on electricity. In addition, the S90 provides more rear legroom and nearly as much trunk space.
Volvo S90 vs. BMW 5 Series
Like the Volvo, the BMW 530e xDrive plug-in hybrid is based on a turbocharged four-cylinder engine. However, the BMW is less powerful and provides about half the electric-only driving range of the Volvo. Also, when these two are equivalently optioned, the BMW's price advantage evaporates, and it has less rear legroom than the Volvo. The 5 Series plug-in does have a slightly larger trunk, though.
Volvo S90 vs. Genesis G80
The Genesis G80 Electrified is more expensive than the Volvo S90 Recharge, but it's a fully electric luxury sedan supplying an estimated 282 miles of range on a battery charge. Like the Audi and BMW above, the Genesis has a smaller back seat than the Volvo. Unlike the A6 and 5 Series, the G80 Electrified model's trunk is also smaller than the S90 and by several cubic feet. Still, if you want an electric luxury sedan, the Genesis is the one to get.
