About the 2023 Volvo S90
2nd generation (introduced for 2017), after the 2021 design refresh; 2023 trim-structure update
Volvo positions the S90 as a large luxury sedan centered on Scandinavian design, passenger comfort, safety, and understated style rather than aggressive performance styling. Its long cabin and generous rear-seat space suit commuting, road trips, and chauffeured use. Electrified powertrains, supportive seating, extensive driver assistance, and a calm, uncluttered interior distinguish it from sportier German rivals, while the Recharge adds meaningful electric-only driving without changing the S90's comfort-focused character.
The S90 remains a comfort-focused luxury sedan, with the B6 Plus serving as the well-equipped starting version and the higher-content B6 adding ventilated Nappa leather seats, premium audio, and a head-up display. The T8 Recharge pairs the richer cabin specification with a 455-hp plug-in hybrid system and an estimated 38 miles of electric driving.

2023 Volvo S90
(41 reviews)
“Styling is magnificent and the interior is unbelievable - if you are looking for a comfortable sedan that is fun to drive you should definitely consider the Volvo S90.”
“Comfortable, very safe, and thoughtful vehicle, but slow acceleration and poor turn radius. Comfortable and perfectly adequate for anything you need, but not really fun to drive. Also, looks great from the side, but boring from the front and back, which does really detract from the "wow" factor.”
