Only one year removed from its debut as the Swedish automaker’s sedan flagship, the 2018 Volvo S90 isn’t resting on its laurels. Already a sophisticated and luxurious offering with a unique blend of tradition and mold-breaking, it has become more so with a 4.7-inch wheelbase stretch, and more standard features than ever before. But the best-in-class rear leg room this affords, as well as its impressive driving dynamics and safety equipment you can experience behind the wheel is only one facet of the S90’s flagship treatment.
The 2018 S90 can be had with all three of Volvo’s unique and efficient powertrains. Those opting for the 250 horsepower T5 engine will see commendable acceleration thanks to a responsive transmission and 258 lb-ft of torque. More commonly, drivers find the T6 with 316 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque, which comes standard with all-wheel drive and gets better efficiency and power than one expects of a four-cylinder. Yet if there’s one engine that will really make you revise your expectations, it’s the T8 Plug-in Hybrid, with 400 horsepower, 472 lb-ft of torque, and 29 mpg combined.
On the inside, the 2018 S90’s wheel base stretch has increased the rear seat space by 4.5 inches. As we mentioned, that’s a best-in-class figure. But for those who lease or loan for the experience from the driver’s seat, you won’t be disappointed with the old-world craftsmanship, quality woods and leathers, or natural-feeling ambiance of the S90’s sanctum-like cockpit. Side by side with tradition, you’ll find technology like an easy-to-use, standard Sensus Connect infotainment screen that also controls other vehicle functions like climate and drive mode selection.
But our value-minded drivers from Philadelphia, Langhorne, and Bensalem will find a tablet-like control interface is just the tip of the iceberg for what’s included. The second generation Pilot Assist system, which “helps” by keeping a set distance from the car ahead while automatically managing speed and keeping you in your lane. A semi-autonomous system, it comes standard along with Run-off Road Mitigation, City Safety collision avoidance, and LED headlights.
