Overview

The 2019 Volvo S90 Sedan is a midsize sedan offered in 3 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $47,350. It mainly competes with the Mercedes-Benz CLS Class, the BMW 5 series, and the Cadillac CTS for that price. Between 3 trims, the Volvo S90 offers two powertrains. The base engine is a 2.0L Turbo Inline-4 engine capable of making 250 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. If more power is required, there is also a 316 horsepower-making 2.0L Turbo/Supercharged Inline-4. Both engines are mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission.

The Volvo S90 reaches 60 mph from zero in 6.7 seconds on its base engine, which gets pumped up to 5.9 seconds with the 2.0LTurbo/supercharged Inline-4 engine. Depending on the powertrain, the Volvo S90 can manage a combined fuel economy between 25 and 27 mpg. While we're on the topic of choices, the 7 striking colors the Volvo S90 comes in really pull you towards itsel

Buying Advice

We fancy the 2019 Volvo S90 T6 Inscription. It has a formidable engine, plenty of safety and convincing features, color options, and so forth. Some of the standard features include a premium sound system, adaptive cruise control, multi-zone a/c, and so forth. The addition of the Luxury Package ($3,450) would amplify your experience further as it provides outer heated rear seats, heated steering wheel, backrest seat massaging front seat, and much more.
