2024 Volvo S90 Sedan Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2024 Volvo S90 is a five-passenger midsize luxury sedan available in two models.

The S90 B6 has a turbocharged and supercharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (295 horsepower, 310 lb-ft of torque), a 48-volt mild hybrid system, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive is standard.

The S90 Recharge is a plug-in hybrid that pairs a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with a rear-mounted 107-kW electric motor and an 18.8-kWh battery pack (455 horsepower, 523 lb-ft of torque). Like the S90 B6, it uses an eight-speed automatic transmission and has standard all-wheel drive. The Recharge delivers an estimated 38 miles of electric driving range before reverting to gas-engine operation.

Two trim levels are available: Plus and Ultimate. Highlights of each include: 

Plus
The S90 base trim kicks things off with:

  • 19-inch wheels
  • Adaptive LED headlights
  • Automatic windshield wipers
  • Panoramic sunroof
  • 12.3-inch digital gauge display
  • Four-zone automatic climate control system with air purification (B6 only)
  • Wood interior trim
  • Leather upholstery
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Power-adjustable front seats with driver's seat memory
  • Heated front and rear seats
  • Power-folding rear seat and outer head restraints
  • Power rear and rear-side window shades

The S90 uses an Google-based infotainment system that includes:

  • 9-inch touchscreen
  • Apple CarPlay and native Android smartphone integration
  • Google app services (voice assistant, streaming audio) with four-year subscription
  • Google Maps-based navigation system
  • 10-speaker audio system
  • Front USB ports and rear USB-C ports

A collection of advanced driver assist and collision avoidance systems also comes standard:

  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Volvo and the car in front)
  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Lane departure mitigation (warns you of a lane departure when a turn signal isn't used and can automatically steer to maintain lane position)
  • Lane keeping system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
  • Oncoming lane mitigation (steers the S90 back into its lane if it begins to cross a road's center line while another vehicle approaches from the opposite direction)
  • Road sign information (sees road signs including speed limits and displays them to the driver)
  • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the S90 and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
  • Parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in front of or behind the vehicle when parking)
  • Rear automatic braking (brakes if sensors detect an imminent collision with an object behind the vehicle)

Ultimate
The top-level trim introduces adds upgrades such as:

  • 20-inch wheels
  • Power trunklid
  • Upgraded interior materials
  • Premium leather upholstery
  • Ventilated front seats with power lumbar, side cushion and thigh support
  • Memory settings for the front seat positions
  • 14-speaker Harman Kardon audio system
  • Head-up display

Choose the S90 Ultimate, and you can add:

  • Lounge package (massaging front seats, ventilated rear seats)
  • 19-speaker Bowers & Wilkins audio system
  • Adaptive air suspension (adjusts to enhance ride comfort and handling; can also raise or lower the vehicle's ride height)

A few of the Ultimate features are offered as options on the S90 Plus, including:

  • 20-inch wheels
  • 14-speaker Harman Kardon audio system
  • Power trunklid

Which S90 trim does Edmunds recommend?

Although the base model S90 Plus offers plenty of standard equipment, we think the relatively small jump to the S90 Ultimate is worth it. A hands-free power trunklid, ventilated front seats with memory settings, and an upgraded audio system are worthy upgrades to the daily drive, while premium leather and nicer interior materials (crystal glass shifter, wrapped soft-touch panels) are indulgences that also make the Ultimate a good value. We'd also try to stretch for the S90 Recharge model for its extra power, electric range and impressive fuel efficiency: 74 mpge and 31 mpg during regular gas-engine operation.
