Volvo V90 history 

As Volvos go, the V90 isn’t an old model, and instead is one of the more recent additions to Volvo’s ever-growing lineup. 

> First-generation Volvo V90 (2016-2020) - a mid-sized luxury estate car based on the S90 saloon

What features does the Volvo V90 have?

Being an estate, it would be rude not to start at the rear.  

The V90’s boot offers 551 litres of available space that expands to 1,517 litres when the rear seats are folded flat.    

This is particularly useful on longer trips where you may need to carry lots of stuff. You can also fit a roof box to Volvos, creating even more space.  

In the cabin, the luxury continues because the V90 has one of the best interiors you’ll ever experience at this price point.   

The nine-inch portrait infotainment system is standard across the range and is really easy to use, with the option of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.   

Some models come with a 12.3-inch digital dash that allows you to display your maps, music and vehicle stats when driving.    

If you really like your music, then you may want to look out for a V90 with the optional 1,400W Bowers & Wilkins sound system with 18 speakers. 

Is the Volvo V90 reliable?

Volvo has always had a very strong reputation for reliability and safety, and that’s where the V90 shines. The brand always ranks well in trusted consumer surveys, and very few models go wrong.   

As for safety, the V90 scored a full five-star rating following its Euro NCAP testing. And it earned some of the highest scores available for both adult and child occupant safety.   

This is mostly thanks to its incredible onboard safety features including Volvo’s semi-autonomous Pilot Assist system that's like an advanced adaptive cruise control.   

Other features are Volvo’s Run-off Road protection system that detects if the car has driven off the road.  

There are also special absorption modules fitted to the seats that Volvo claims will reduce the impact on the passenger in the event of an accident.    

How much does the Volvo V90 cost to run?

The V90, like its interior, keeps it simple when it comes to engine options. All variants are based on a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine that's both efficient and punchy.   

There are three petrol options available, starting with the T4 then moving up to the T5, and ending with the range-topping T8.  

The entry-level diesel engine (called the D4) produces the same power as the T4 petrol engine and is definitely the better option if you do a mixture of town and motorway driving.   

The [top-spec diesel?], the D5, has four-wheel drive and plenty of grunt, making it the best option if you're planning to tow anything.   

Newer models feature a plug-in hybrid system with up to 36 miles of range on electric power alone, and up to a claimed 134mpg. 

Who is the Volvo V90 suitable for?

The beauty of a Volvo estate is that it’s designed to suit almost anyone. Whether you have dogs, kids, bikes or suitcases... or all three, a used Volvo V90 will suit you down to the ground. 

Its main rivals are the BMW 5 Series Touring and Mercedes-Benz E-Class estate.
