    With a combined power output of 340 kW (455 hp) and 709 Nm of torque, the Volvo S90 Recharge can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in just 4.6 seconds. The instant torque from the electric motor enhances performance, making it feel quicker than many traditional sedans.
    The total range, including both gasoline and electric power, is 804 km. This ensures long-distance capability while benefiting from fuel efficiency and emissions reduction.
    Using a Level 2 (240V) charger, the Volvo S90 Recharge takes approximately 5 hours to fully charge its 18.8 kWh battery.
    Yes, the Volvo S90 Recharge features an AWD drivetrain, where the front wheels are powered by a 2.0L turbocharged engine, while the rear wheels are driven by an electric motor. This setup provides enhanced traction and stability in various driving conditions.
    It comes equipped with an 8-speed automatic transmission, providing smooth gear shifts and efficient power delivery.
    The interior is designed with luxury in mind, featuring Nappa leather upholstery, a crystal gear shifter, a 9-inch vertical touchscreen infotainment system, and a premium 14-speaker Harman Kardon sound system. It also includes heated and ventilated seats with a massage function in the front.
    Yes, the Volvo S90 Recharge is equipped with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility, but some users have noted that it lacks wireless connectivity, requiring a wired connection.
    Some owners and reviewers have mentioned that the infotainment system feels outdated and slow, and that the vehicle's cold-weather performance could be better, especially regarding cabin heating when running in EV mode. Additionally, Volvo's service and repair network may not be as widespread as other brands, which could make maintenance challenging in some areas.
    The Volvo S90 Recharge offers a unique combination of Scandinavian luxury, strong performance, and plug-in hybrid efficiency. However, buyers should compare it with alternatives like the BMW 5 Series PHEV and the Genesis G80 Electrified, which may offer newer technology and a more refined user experience. If luxury, safety, and sustainability are priorities, the Volvo S90 Recharge remains a strong contender.

    Pros & Cons

    Pros:

    The Volvo S90 Recharge offers a high-end cabin with Nappa leather upholstery, wood trim, and aluminum accents. The Bowers & Wilkins sound system (optional) is a standout feature, delivering an immersive audio experience. The front and rear seats are heated and ventilated, providing ultimate comfort.
    With a combined power output of 340 kW (455 hp) and 709 Nm of torque, the Volvo S90 Recharge delivers impressive performance. It accelerates from 0-100 km/h in just 4.6 seconds, making it one of the quickest sedans in its class.
    The Volvo S90 Recharge has an electric range of up to 61 km, making it ideal for short commutes without using gasoline. The total range extends to 804 km, providing flexibility for long-distance travel.
    The adaptive air suspension (rear only) and well-calibrated chassis ensure a smooth and refined ride. The cabin is well-insulated, keeping road and wind noise to a minimum.
    Volvo’s Pilot Assist and adaptive cruise control make highway driving easier. Standard safety features include blind-spot monitoring, lane-keeping aid, cross-traffic alert, and automatic emergency braking.
    The rear passenger area offers ample legroom (40.4 inches), and executive-style features include rear seat controls for sunshades, climate settings, and seat adjustments.
    The Volvo S90 Recharge maintains a classic and understated luxury design that remains attractive over time. Thor’s Hammer LED headlights and chrome accents add to its sophisticated look.

    Cons:

    Despite Android Automotive integration, the 9-inch touchscreen has sluggish responses and lacks the modern, seamless user experience of competitors like BMW and Mercedes.
    The center console and door pockets are shallow, limiting small item storage. The trunk capacity (13.5 cubic feet) is also smaller than some competitors.
    At $79,250 CAD, the S90 Recharge is priced higher than some competitors that offer better technology and performance.
    The rear wheels are driven solely by an electric motor, and there is no traditional driveshaft connecting the front and rear axles. This can result in less confidence in extreme winter conditions compared to full-time AWD systems.
    The cabin heating system relies on an electric heater, which can take longer to warm up in extreme cold temperatures, reducing overall efficiency.
