'17 Volvo S90 T6
July 11, 2016
Lower, sleeker and far more elegant than its XC90 CUV sibling, the '17 Volvo S90 sedan takes a step up from the premium segment to go after the top players in the luxury 4-door class. (See related story: With the S90 on sale now and the similarly equipped V90 due in 2017, Volvo is doubling down on its promise that nobody will be killed or seriously injured in a new Volvo by 2020. With further refinement and expansion of the capabilities of Pilot Assist, that promise may hold whether or not they actively are driving the car.
Volvo marketers say the leases on 150,000 premium sedans will expire this year, opening the door for the rejuvenated Chinese-owned Swedish automaker to win some new business. The S90 T6 is available now, followed this September by the T5 equipped with a 250-hp, 258-lb.-ft. (350-Nm) 2.0L turbocharged I-4. The T8 hybrid arrives in 2017.
The T6 sedan is offered in two trim levels, Momentum starting at $52,950 and the uplevel Inscription starting at $56,250. The front-drive T5 starts at $46,950 and $50,450, respectively. Four packages are available: Climate, Momentum Plus, Vision and Convenience. Prices do not include a $995 destination charge.
