2021 Volvo S90 Features You need To Know

The 2021 Volvo S90 is a midsize luxury sedan that seats up to five passengers. Volvo provides a compelling alternative to other exotic midsize luxury sedans such as E-Class or BMW 5 Series whose prices are relatively high.

This European sedan features stately repose, airy, uncluttered interior with an uncompromised focus on safety. The S90 is not in competition to match its rivals with staggering performance or invigorating high-speed handling. Instead, it competes in areas like exceptional seat comfort, safety innovation (seats and headrests that adjust in milliseconds to prevent whiplash in a rear-end collision), and details, including a gear selector made from solid crystal and open-pore oak, ash, and walnut interior trim. It’s also among the few midsize luxury sedans available as a plug-in hybrid. Below are some of the features that give the S90 an edge in the midsize luxury sedan class.

If you are looking for a plug-in hybrid version, stick with the R-Design and Inscription trim. The plug-in hybrid makes 400 hp and 472 lb-ft of torque and can provide an estimated 21 miles of all-electric driving.

The S90 Interior Design
The S90 has a roomy and classic interior that seats five passengers comfortably unlike most of its rivals in the class. The car boasts 42.2 inches of legroom up front and 40.4 inches at the rear. This surpasses its rivals such as BMW 5 Series, Audi A6, or Mercedes-Benz E-Class with at least 3 inches more rear legroom. Cargo volume splits the difference between the Audi and the Benz at 13.5 cubic feet but is dwarfed by the BMW’s colossal 18.7-cubic-foot trunk.

A 10-speaker audio system is standard, though a 14-speaker Harman Kardon setup is included on higher trims, and a newly updated 19-speaker Bowers and Wilkins system is available as an option. All models also include a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster display.
