Used 2020 Volvo V90 Wagon Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

All 2020 Volvo V90s come very well equipped, so you're basically paying for powertrains. The T5 starts off the lineup with the lowest power and front-wheel drive. Some may find the T5 underpowered, especially when fully loaded. The T6 provides more power and all-wheel drive.

The R-Design and Inscription versions of the T5 are equipped to nearly the same level and differ in interior materials, seat designs and colors. They both are powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine (250 hp, 258 lb-ft) driving only the front wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission.

Standard features for both include 19-inch wheels, a panoramic sunroof and a hands-free liftgate. Tech highlights are the Sensus infotainment system, composed of a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a navigation system, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration, and a premium Harman Kardon audio system. A full suite of active driver aids also comes standard.

The R-Design features a unique sport suspension calibration and comes standard with paddle shifters and sport front seats. The Inscription, meanwhile, adds heated and ventilated front seats. Optionally, you can tack on the Advanced package, which includes adaptive LED headlights, high-pressure headlight washers, a head-up display, and a surround-view camera system.

Various stand-alone options include an air suspension, an automated parking system, heated rear seats, a heated steering wheel, and a premium Bowers & Wilkins sound system.

The T6 R-Design and the range-topping T6 Inscription are powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that's both turbocharged and supercharged. At maximum power, it produces 316 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. And unlike the T5, the T6 comes with all-wheel drive. Otherwise, the T5 and the T6 are essentially the same inside and out.

Which V90 trim does Edmunds recommend?

For most buyers, the V90 Inscription T6 will do. The T6's powertrain includes standard all-wheel drive and a twin-charged four-cylinder engine (supercharged and turbocharged) that delivers a power boost over the T5 and pairs nicely with the V90's refined ride and handling.
