2018 Volvo V90: The Luxury Wagon Standard

While it’s been a long time since there was a large number of station wagons on the roads due to the creation of the minivan and now the crossover SUV, one wagon that has been a stellar performer on the market for the past several years has been the Volvo V90. If other automakers want to bring wagons to the market in the US, this is the one they should mimic in order to understand what this market calls for when it comes to the vehicle that was nearly put out to pasture when the minivan showed up in the 1980s.
In addition to being a car that continues to perform in an exemplary fashion, the V90 offers a Cross Country model that sits a little higher and makes it easier for you to experience the AWD and higher stance that can make this a car that’s also a crossover. This version of the V90 sits in a spot that’s not currently being occupied by any other vehicle. Let this wagon become the one you want and see if it will be right for you in the higher stance when you take the V90 out for a test drive.

New Stuff

Every year we expect and demand to see new items that are right for the drive and make a difference on the road. The 2018 version of the Volvo V90 offers the T5 in the Cross Country trim to bring the pride down and make this higher riding model more affordable than ever. The T6 model also offers you Oncoming Lane Mitigation for this new model year in addition to a new collision avoidance feature to aid you in staying away from danger and being able to continue to drive the way you want to.

The Features You Want

Starting at the base model you’ll have the benefit of AWD but also have the advantage of the Pilot Assist, blind spot monitoring, driver alert sensing, road sign information, lane departure warning, heated leather seats and steering wheel, a panoramic moonroof, a digital instrument cluster, a nine-inch center screen, a navigation system, keyless entry, a hands free power tailgate, a ten-speaker 224-watt audio system, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, the standard City Safety system that can sense cars and pedestrians in front of the vehicle and apply the brakes when you don’t react soon enough to engage this system.
Moving toward the options you will have for the V90 you will see items that include the Plus Package which brings in the quad-zone climate controls, a 12.3-inch digital dashboard, active bending headlights, the Convenience Package brings you heated washer nozzles, Park Assist Pilot, and the 360-degree camera. The T6 model for this car gives you the Luxury Package with the Nappa leather covering the ventilated and massaging front seats, a leather dashboard, heated rear seats, the quad-zone climate controls, rear sun curtains and more. The stand-alone items include an air suspension, a 1,400-watt Bowers & Wilkins premium audio system, a head-up display, and the two-step rear seat child booster cushions.

Under the Hood

The two different powertrains you’ll find under the hood of the V90 make use of the 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that we’ve become accustomed to with the Volvo lineup. The T5 uses turbocharging to provide you with 250 horsepower and the ability to have up to 34 mpg on the highway. Move up to the T6 and add supercharging to the mix which allows you to have 316 ponies galloping under the hood and still enjoy the benefits of up to 31 mpg on the highway.
While we wait for the rest of the market to catch up to what Volvo has to offer, you can experience the added comfort and cargo space of the Volvo V90 which is the flagship wagon that you want to drive and enjoy for the ride on a daily basis. Make this the right choice for you when you’re ready to have a car that sits up higher and rides better while providing you with the cargo space and the luxury comfort you want on the road. Come in and take one of these beauties for a test drive today at your nearby Volvo dealer and see what they have to offer you.
