Overview

Competing in the midsize wagon, the 2018 Volvo V90 Wagon goes up against other notable names in the class, like the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Wagon, and indirectly with some pricing difference goes against the Jaguar XF Sportbrake Wagon. Spread across 4 trims, the V90 wagon starts off at a base price of MSRP $49,950 and carries on to $57,950. Not all trims are built equal, however, as there are 2 powertrains on offer. The standard engine is a 2.0L turbocharged Inline-4 engine rated for 250 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. With this engine, the V90 wagon gives you a towing capacity of 3,500 pounds. An optional 2.0L twin-charged Inline-4 engine is also offered, with an output of 316 horsepower. An 8-speed shiftable automatic transmission is offered alongside both engines and is available in 9 striking colors.

Buying Advice

Our recommendation is the more powerful Inscription T6 Inscription. This trim features a standard AWD system that the T5 Inscription lacks and also features many additional equipment that makes it a practical daily driver.
