We Recommend

If you are going to use the V90 wagon in town, stick to the FWD models. The T5 Inscription trim comes loaded with all the features that you would appreciate in the luxury wagon of this class. For folks who need to drive in the snow a lot, we would suggest the AWD models for better traction.

The Volvo V90 R-design is one of the better-looking wagons out there. It also offers the most smiles per gallon. Mileage rating at 24 MPG in the city and 34 MPG on the highway, there is no beating the 2018 Volvo V90. The car of such size and power, it is incredible to see such figures.

The closest competitor is Audi A4 All road Premium with 22 MPG in the city and 30 MPG on the Highway. The Subaru and Mercedes-Benz fall behind because of the big engine and higher capacity of 3.0 L.

And when we compare it to the other wagons, it easy to find that turbocharged engines are more frugal. Volkswagen Golf SportWagen scores a combined mpg of 30 while bettering Audi Allroad's score by a margin of 2 mpg. The Subaru Outback and Volvo V60 offer an identical combined mpg of 28.

A rich assortment of high-quality materials, elegant styling, and sumptuous seats help make the V90's cabin one of the best in the class. Shoppers can select from top-shelf options such as walnut, dark flame birch, carbon fiber, and grained leather.-Cars.USnews

Seating and Comfort

The Volvo V90 comes with the best in class interior quality. The Elegant looking interior with modern tech and Scandinavian design makes it the best place to be in. The natural wood in combination with metal pieces will make you feel rich and your eyes sparkle.

The seats are the most comfortable ones you'll find in any car. The long-wheelbase gives the rear passengers ample amount of room to spread their legs. The optional features like heated and ventilated seats with massaging front seats will add up to your comfort level.

Infotainment System

The Volvo V90 comes with all Luxury features that one would expect. The 8-inch infotainment display and a 12.3-inch screen replacing the instrument cluster to a virtual cockpit, the V90 gets Bluetooth connectivity, Apple Car Play, Android Auto, Navigation and in-car WIFI.

All the buttons, including the climate controls and expect the volume button, has been integrated into the Sensus Connect Infotainment display. This can lead one to distracted driving and with layers of menus to browse through and too many clicks to do simple operations, it may get annoying sometimes.

Interior Features

The Subaru Outback offers a very welcoming interior trim. Some of these features are mentioned below:

• Adaptive Cruise Control
• Cooled Storage Compartment
• Front And Rear Cupholders
• Electrochromatic Inside Rearview Mirror
• Front And Rear Door Pockets
• Transmission, Cruise And Audio Controls On Steering Wheel
• Interior Air Filtration

Cargo volume

V90 doesn't give the best of cargo spaces in this segment. With little to complain, it's not too less, it can accommodate luggage for a short weekend ride in 19.8 cu-ft. of space. Fold the rear seats down and the total available volume increases to 53.9 cu-ft.

Cargo Volume (ft.3)	19.8	35.5	24.2	23.2	35.0

It's all subjective, sure, but we would venture to say that the V90 is a handsome-looking wagon, possibly more eye-pleasing than the S90 sedan from which it's derived. It wraps its practicality in a stylish shell and there isn't an angle where it appears awkward. A concave grille and smart lighting details match the classiness of the interior.- KelleyBlueBook

Design and Dimension

It is stylish, strong and has a powerful looking exterior design. The proportions of the car are just amazing! The Volvo V90 rides very low compared to its length and just look at it, you can't take your eyes off the Volvo V90. With the total length of 194.3 inches, it is the longest car in this segment and is an inch longer than the Mercedes-Benz E400 4Matic.

With such outstanding dimensions comes all the weight. The Volvo V90 is the second heaviest, weighing 3913 lbs. and the heaviest of all being the Mercedes-Benz E400 4Matic weighing 4299 lbs. The Subaru Outback 3.6R limited and Audi All Road Premium just weigh over 3800 lbs.

Volvo V90 vs Subaru Outback

There is little that is wrong with the Outback. For decades, the Outback has been a hot seller in the Subaru line-up. Our only gripe is the lackluster acceleration from the base 2.5-liter engine. With a full load of cargo and passengers, this engine runs out of steam. So, you have to carefully plan for merging and passing. But talk about utility, fit and finish and drivability. The Outback comes off as a strong contender in the segment. It offers a spacious and comfortable cabin with a solid finish.

Volvo V90 vs Audi Allroad

It has become a known fact that Audi produces some of the best driver-oriented cars and the same goes for the 2020 Audi A4 Allroad. The car commands a premium price when compared to its competition. For that premium price tag ($37,400) it offers better performance than the other wagons in the segment. The A4 Allroad combines a powerful engine, a world-class driving dynamics, and a solid fit and finish. If you like to be behind the wheel then the price premium might be worth your time.

Volvo V90 vs Mercedes-Benz E450 4Matic

The E Class wagon features an improved engine which makes 33 horsepower more than the earlier model. The engine isn't eager to pick up the pace but it remarkably quiet. Mercedes intends the E Class to be comfortable before being anything else. The cabin is well insulated, once inside it really feels like you have been separated from the outside world. The premium convertible starts at a price tag of $64,200. The E Class wagon offers best in class engine specifications, sculpted looks, interior fitment, space and a high tech arsenal of safety features. When it comes to pricing, though it is costly.

The Volvo V90 is the best-looking wagon out there, with the best looking interior design and many premium features as standard it's hard to match the quality stated by Volvo. Starting at a bit higher price, which is justified with the strong exterior design and rich cabin space, the Volvo V90 is a unique car and is desired by everyone.

But, if you are looking for more utility than looks and at a cheaper price, there are options such as Subaru Outback to consider.
