The Volvo S90 has the maximum power and torque output on offer. the S90 is slightly slower than the BMW 5 series and slightly faster than the Mercedes Benz E 350 when it comes to acceleration and quarter-mile figures. The BMW has a strong mid-range, while the Volvo S90 gives a quick splurge of torques and takes the lead in the beginning, and we feel this is the main reason why the BMW 5-series is quicker in a quarter-mile drag.

Volvo has been quite famous to make some of the safest cars, and the 2021 Volvo S90 is no different. Although we don’t have the official results from the NHTSA or the IIHS yet, from the list of equipment Volvo offers for safety and security. The 2021 Volvo S90 comes loaded with a long list of safety features as standard and will be one of the safest vehicles in the segment.
The S90 is one of the premiership sedans from the brand that gets a plethora of driver assistance and safety tech as standard. Some of the most prominent ones include the following:

The Volvo S90 and the BMW 5-series are both very balanced and well-proportioned cars with great driving dynamics, while the BMW offers a more conventional and palatable approach towards interior design and cabin layout, the Volvo is more futuristic and tech loaded. Both the vehicles are fun to drive, and it is just a matter of choice and taste, but we do have to say that the 5-series sells better numbers than the Volvo, and is a very common sight on the roads.
2021 Volvo S90 vs 2021 Jaguar XF
The Jaguar XF has been updated some time ago, and the car has a beautiful design and a very opulent interior. While the S90 has some sharp cuts and creases and dons some very prominent character lines, the XF’s design is more subdued and does involve some very smooth and sexy curves. The Jaguar too has been in the market for a very long time and has been selling decent numbers.
The Mercedes-Benz is a very popular choice amongst luxury car buyers and the S90 has tried pretty hard to compete with the vehicle, but given the reputation and track record of the Mercedes, buyers would still be inclined towards the ease of ownership offered by Mercedes-Benz.
The Volvo S90 is a very capable car and will appeal to a large set of buyers, the car looks great, drives great, and more or less has everything you would want in a luxury sedan. The car has been updated from time to time, and it comes with new-age features and tech on offer.
More importantly, it has one of the most opulent cabins in the segment, and has a lot of customization options available too, so finding the right match for you won’t be a problem. The car is priced well within the segment standards and looks like a great proposition overall.
