About the Volvo S90
The second-generation Volvo S90, built on the Scalable Product Architecture (SPA), marked a significant shift for the brand toward minimalist Scandinavian luxury. The D4 R-Design trim combines the efficient 190 hp Drive-E diesel engine with a more aggressive aesthetic, featuring a unique grille, blacked-out trim, and sports-tuned suspension. Inside, it offers a serene cabin dominated by a portrait-oriented Sensus touchscreen and high-quality materials. While it prioritises comfort and safety over outright sportiness, the R-Design chassis provides a more composed and engaging drive than the standard Momentum or Inscription trims.
