The base powertrain is a turbocharged and supercharged four-cylinder called T6. The 400 horsepower plug-in hybrid T8 version debuted last year and resulting in a surprisingly 4.5 seconds zero-to-100km. However, you will notice the S90‘s gas pedal a sharp input and there’s a momentary delay, followed by an abrupt moment of acceleration as the gasoline engine engages to assist the electric motors. Handling is steady, but the trade-off is a ride that hardly feels like as smooth as it should. Rough stretches of road transmit more vibrations into the cabin than in more softly sprung competitors. The steering has a weighty feel, but it isn’t as direct or as precise as it should be, which erodes the S90‘s perceived athleticism.

The S90‘s cabin is by far its most highlighted feature. A mixture of high-end materials— wood varnish, genuine leather, brushed metal, inter-grated finely grained plastics, the S90 comes together in a cohesive and undeniably modern look. The 14-way power front seats are extremely comfortable and should fit all body shapes. The S90 sedan will meet the needs of most drivers, and models with the folding rear seatback offer a cavernous cargo area.
