Sleek, stylish, and backed by the world-renowned Volvo reputation for quality and reliability, the 2023 Volvo S90 is an eye-catching sedan that's perfect for commutes to and from the office. Available as either a plug-in hybrid or mild hybrid, this car is efficient and comfortable, and it's available now in the new vehicle inventory at Faulkner Volvo Cars Trevose.
Highly customizable and ready to exceed your expectations, the new Volvo S90 is a five-passenger sedan with four doors and a secure trunk for your cargo. It's currently in its second generation and it introduces drivers to a handful of exciting and noteworthy updates this year.
But while the Volvo S90, like other styles in the Volvo lineup, practically recommends itself, we know that there are other similar cars out there that are competing for your attention. To help you choose the best sedan for your needs, check out the comparison data we've put together for you here, illustrating what sets the Volvo S90 apart from the competing BMW 540.
2023 Volvo S90 vs. 2023 BMW 540
While both of these traditional sedan-style cars come from renowned luxury brands that drivers trust, the Volvo S90 has quite a few extra perks and features that you won't get with the BMW 540. Let our team explain further and then stop by and visit us in Trevose to see for yourself.
- Plug-in hybrid power and range. With the Volvo S90, drivers get the option of getting a groundbreaking, 455-horsepower plug-in hybrid engine on their sedan. This state-of-the-art powertrain system can travel up to 38 miles on electricity alone, and it offers 523 pound-feet of torque. The BMW 540, comparatively, is not available with a plug-in hybrid alternative engine. BMW does make other models available with the plug-in system, but it's not as powerful or efficient as the Volvo option. The BMW plug-in has an EV driving range of only 19 to 21 miles and it produces just 288 horsepower with 310 pound-feet of torque.
- Standard all-wheel drive. With the 2023 Volvo S90, every model comes with standard all-wheel drive, regardless of trim level or engine. However, with the BMW 540 all-wheel drive is not listed as standard equipment. Rear-wheel drive is standard and drivers have to request all-wheel drive special.
- Mild hybrid technology. Even if you don't want a plug-in hybrid system on your luxury sedan, you can still expect groundbreaking hybrid efficiency standard with the Volvo S90. Adding an extra boost of power and more efficiency, every Volvo S90 comes standard with a mild hybrid engine. Combining a turbocharged and supercharged four-cylinder engine with a 48-volt mild hybrid assist, this groundbreaking engine is smooth and responsive. It's also unique to the Volvo car and you won't find anything like it on the BMW 540.
- Safety features. The Volvo brand has built a reputation for safety engineering over the decades, and the Volvo S90 is a perfect illustration of where the reputation comes from. Every model in the S90 lineup comes with safety features and advanced driver's aids that you won't find in many places. For example, there are several safety features that are standard with the Volvo and not the BMW 540, such as oncoming lane mitigation, a surround-view camera system, parking sensors, and rear automatic emergency braking.
