“It is a luxury vehicle with all the bells and whistles which aren't essential in a car but are nice to have. It handles extremely well. The sound system is amazing.”
2022 Volvo S90: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2022 Volvo S90 is a new Google-based infotainment system across the lineup. This is a meaningful mid-cycle technology and powertrain update, not a full redesign.
About the 2022 Volvo S90
2nd-generation S90 (U.S. launch 2017), second year after the 2021 exterior refresh and first U.S. model year with the new Google-based infotainment system.
Volvo positions the S90 as its large luxury sedan for buyers who want calm styling, a roomy cabin, strong safety credentials, and a distinctly Scandinavian look rather than a sport-first personality. The model’s core appeal is quiet long-distance comfort, a clean interior design, and easy everyday driving. Compared with many rivals, the S90 leans more toward serenity, safety technology, and understated luxury than aggressive handling or flashy styling.
For 2022, Momentum serves as the well-equipped starting point, while Inscription adds richer leather, ventilated front seats, and wood trim. R-Design has a darker, sportier appearance, and Recharge models add plug-in hybrid driving. The late-year Extended Range Recharge versions stand out with 455 horsepower and an EPA-rated 38 miles of electric range.
What changed, by category
Tech
A new Google-based touchscreen system becomes standard across the lineup, with built-in navigation, voice control, and updated Digital Services hardware.

Safety
The S90 receives Volvo’s latest sensor platform for its active-safety and driver-assistance features.
