Volvo V90 (2016-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Comfortable on long journeys	Not all that exciting to drive
Superb safety equipment	A Mercedes, BMW or Audi feels more premium
	Diesels powerful but gruff-sounding

Quick Summary

The Volvo V90 (2016-present) is Volvo's flagship estate, known for its blend of practicality, style, and cabin space. It offers a generous 560 litres of boot space with the rear seats up, expanding to 1,526 litres when folded, though rivals like the Mercedes E-Class Estate offer more. Inside, it provides ample room for passengers and a comfortable driving position, all within a clean and uncluttered modern Volvo cabin design.

Driving the V90 prioritises comfort, making long journeys effortless, though it lacks the dynamic engagement of some rivals. Safety is a key strength, with a five-star Euro NCAP rating and advanced driver aids like Pilot Assist. The portrait-oriented Sensus infotainment system boasts clear graphics but can be distracting to operate on the move. Running costs vary; older D4 diesels can achieve around 45mpg, petrols around 30mpg, while newer mild-hybrid 'B' engines offer improved efficiency, and plug-in hybrids provide excellent economy with regular charging.

Best for: Buyers seeking a comfortable, practical, and safe premium estate car for families or long journeys.

Not ideal for: Those prioritising maximum boot space, highly engaging driving dynamics, or an infotainment system with more intuitive physical controls.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the V90 if: You're seeking a comfortable, practical, and safe premium estate car for families or long journeys.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise maximum boot space, highly engaging driving dynamics, or an infotainment system with more intuitive physical controls.

Competitive Position: The Volvo V90 (2016-present) stands out as a strong contender in the premium estate segment, offering exceptional comfort, practicality, and top-tier safety. While it might not have the largest boot capacity compared to a Mercedes E-Class Estate or the sharpest handling of a BMW 5 Series Touring, its luxurious cabin, refined ride, and range of efficient powertrains make it a highly desirable choice for families and those seeking a serene long-distance cruiser.
