These big cars are hardly cheap, but they’re a solid value against competitors from Germany and Asia. We rate the range at 9 out of 10 thanks to standard fare, plentiful options, impressive driver-assistance tech, and a 4-year/50,000-mile warranty that also includes three years of basic maintenance.
The S90 runs $58,995 in its cheapest Plus form, which comes with a big sunroof, leather trim, power and heated front seats, and a 9.0-inch touchscreen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility. Volvo also includes its full suite of driver-assistance tech as standard.
The V90 Cross Country is a modest $1,450 more, while the S90 Recharge (there’s no V90 Recharge) runs $66,945 to start. That plug-in hybrid model may qualify for government incentives to offset its price hike, though.
Which Volvo S90 should I buy?
As appealing as the S90 Recharge is, we’re smitten with the V90 Cross Country’s additional utility. Volvo offers scant options, which stands in marked contrast to a broad a la carte lineup a few years ago. For $750, the heated steering wheel and heated seats package is worth it to us. Another $6,000 buys the Ultimate trim with Harman Kardon audio, cooled nappa leather front seats with a massage function, a head-up display system, and a few other niceties. It’d be hard to pass that option up, too.
How much is a fully loaded Volvo S90?
Figure just shy of $80,000 for an S90 Recharge with the optional Ultimate package, the air suspension, Bowers & Wilkins audio, and the Lounge package with its cooled rear seats.
