Overview

The 2019 Volvo S90 Plug-in Hybrid Sedan fares well in the midsize sedan segment. Adding $16,300 to the price of the standard gasoline variant, the Volvo S90 plug-in hybrid carries a base price of MSRP $63,650, and is offered in 2 trims, reaching a price of MSRP $68,750 for its top trim. The engine on service here is a familiar 2.0L Inline-4 engine supported by a 10.4 kWh electric system. Mated to an 8-speed shiftable automatic, it makes 400 horsepower and 472 lb-ft of torque. The combined fuel economy improves from 27 MPG on the standard gasoline variant to 71 MPGe, making the increase in sticker price worth it. The performance of the Volvo S90 plug-in hybrid remains at par with the gasoline variant, with the car accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in 6.7 seconds. Volvo offers the same 7 color options for the Volvo S90 Plug-in hybrid.

Buying Advice

We would recommend you to go for the Volvo S90’s T8 Momentum trim, as more features (both convenience and safety) are added throughout all 2019 MY. For instance, multi-level heated seats at front, adaptive cruise control, Blind spot and lane departure warnings accident avoidance system, etc, happens to be standard
