2018 VOLVO S90 in TUCSON, AZ

What do Ikea furniture and Lego building bricks have in common? They both come from Sweden, where beautifully-designed objects of desire seem to grow out of the ground like flowers. Unfortunately, they also both require assembly at home. But if you want your very own piece of genius Swedish engineering that comes with no-assembly-required, you don't have to look any further than the 2018 Volvo S90. This top-of-the-line luxury sedan is one of the newest members of the Swedish auto manufacturer's lineup and is quickly gaining ground in the market.

Trim Levels

The Volvo S90 comes in 4 levels of trim: The T5 Momentum base model with front-wheel drive and the T5 AWD Momentum. There are also two T6 AWD models: the Momentum and Inscription.

Engine

The 2018 Volvo S90 is a powerful luxury sedan. A choice of two 2.0-liter, direct-injected four-cylinder engines is available. The T5 Models come stocked with an in-line 4-Cylinder 2.0-liter Turbocharged engine that makes 250 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, while the T6 packs a Turbocharged and Supercharged engine that makes 316 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, offering a little extra power to those willing to pay the premium price.

Performance

The S90 T6 comes standard with AWD technology, and a powertrain that is built to work well in the real world to deliver a seamless driving experience. The S90 is a big, comfortable car, and feels like one, soaking up nearly all bumps and imperfections in the road with its supreme suspension system and 245/40R-20 Pirelli P Zero performance tires providing high a high level of grip and traction on the road. Still, the Volvo S90 provides comfort over sportiness. At over 4,200 lbs, some hard cornering is likely, but ultimately, this is a small compromise for such a luxurious ride.

Interior

The S90 seats 5 passengers comfortably with plenty of headroom and legroom. In the 2018 model, Volvo added a 4.5-inch-longer wheelbase to the S90, making a big difference for backseat passengers, who can sit quite comfortably and ride in style due to the expanded rear seat, even crossing their legs. Of course, Volvo offers many optional features to increase the comfort and luxurious styling of the S90. Buyers can choose from such upgrades as a Bowers & Wilkins sound system, a head-up display, and a Convenience package with a power trunklid, a 360-degree camera system, and park assist, as well as gorgeous sculpted wood, and soft brown leather interiors. In the Volvo S90, you are literally riding in the lap of luxury.
