Used 2019 Volvo V90 Wagon Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

All 2019 Volvo V90s come very well equipped, so you're basically paying for powertrains. The T5 starts off the lineup with the lowest power and front-wheel drive. Some may find the T5 underpowered, especially when fully loaded. The T6 provides more power and all-wheel drive.

The R-Design and Inscription versions of the T5 are equipped to nearly the same level and differ in interior materials, seat designs and colors. They both are powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine (250 hp, 258 lb-ft) driving only the front wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission.

Standard features for both include 19-inch wheels, roof rails, a panoramic sunroof, LED headlights and foglights, a hands-free liftgate, keyless entry, push-button ignition, four-zone climate control, a cabin air cleaner and power-adjustable front seats. On the tech front, you get a configurable gauge cluster display, a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a navigation system, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration, and a premium Harman Kardon audio system.

Also standard is a full battery of active driver aids, including blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, and lane keeping assist.

On the Inscription, Volvo throws in heated and ventilated front seats. The R-Design features a unique sport suspension calibration and comes standard with paddle shifters and sport front seats.

Optionally, you can add the Advanced package, which includes adaptive LED headlights, high-pressure headlight washers, a head-up display, a surround-view camera system, and an automated parallel or perpendicular parking system. Various stand-alone options include an air suspension, heated rear seats, a heated steering wheel, and a premium Bowers & Wilkins sound system.

The T6 R-Design and T6 Inscription are powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that's both turbocharged and supercharged. At maximum power, it produces 316 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. And unlike the T5, the T6 comes with all-wheel drive. Otherwise, the T5 and the T6 are essentially the same inside and out.

Which V90 trim does Edmunds recommend?

The V90 Inscription T6 will suit most buyers. The T6's twin-charged four-cylinder engine (supercharged and turbocharged) delivers a boost in power that pairs nicely with the V90's refined ride and handling. It also comes standard with all-wheel drive for sure-footed capability in all seasons.
