The biggest change of the new car lies in the power part. The whole system abandoned the powertrain of the current T5 model and became a brand-new B5 powertrain. Although the engine is still 2.0T of the Drive-E series and the gearbox is still 8AT, after the optimization of the 48V light mixing system, the performance of this powertrain is smoother than that of the old models.
Smoother performance, you can feel it at the first foot. With the help of BSG motor, the engine starts more smoothly and responds faster. As soon as the brakes are lifted and the oil enters, it will go immediately, with almost no delay. Then slowly feed the oil, and you will find that the power connection at medium and low speeds is very smooth, and the small setbacks on the old models are gone.
For most S90 car owners, changing the driving mode to comfort mode and driving comfortably is the correct way to drive. At this time, the 8AT is not only silky smooth, but also the logic of being willing to upshift is conducive to fuel economy. In addition, the noise suppression of this 2.0T car is very good. With the double-deck sound insulation glass, the wind noise and road noise are also very low. Whether cruising in the city or driving at high speed, it is very advanced. However, this 48V light mixing system does not support turning off the engine when the vehicle is taxiing, so it cannot be tried on urban roads or highways, and it is not as extreme as German rivals (Mercedes-Benz E and Audi A6L).
S90' s steering feel is natural, light at low speed, easy to move, calm and assured at high speed, and the gain of steering force with vehicle speed and damping gain with angle are linear. The only problem is that there are too many steering wheels. If you drive up a hill and bend, you often need to hit more directions before the car body will be pushed to the expected trajectory. Yes, it's pushing. Because its body follows the general, the feeling at the rear of the car is still relatively heavy and inflexible. After all, this is a big car with a wheelbase of more than 3 meters.
Since there is not enough exercise, let's talk about comfort. The chassis of S90 is a front double wishbone and a rear multi-link independent suspension, but the spring of the rear suspension is a compound leaf spring, so the overall adjustment is hard and difficult. In the face of some big pits and depressions, the perceived vibration is still very stiff. So, don't drive it to the rotten road, or it will be exposed in an instant. Not bad,? S90 filters the moderate and small vibration of the speed bump and manhole cover, which proves that the vibration filtering action is appropriate under the condition of good road surface.
When you run long distances, you will inevitably be distracted. Fortunately, S90 is equipped with navigation assistance function, which can greatly reduce the fatigue of long-distance driving. This system can not only help you take charge of the throttle and brakes, but also help you automatically correct the steering wheel so that the whole vehicle can drive in the recognizable lane. The whole process is very linear and natural, and it is one of the best L2 driver assistance systems in the world.
The new car is available in luxury and sports versions, with the luxury version changing even more. In addition to the tail tag, there are three minor changes: one is the chrome-plated front bumper, the other is the canard design, and the third is the hidden exhaust pipe. The sports version of the car has remained basically unchanged, but the exposed exhaust pipe has been hidden. In terms of image, S90 does have the aura and taste that an executive car should have, and it is a rare non-German choice that can make you look good.

S90 doesn't have the suffix L, but the wheelbase of the domestic version on sale is lengthened, and the seating space is spacious enough, which is very decent in the executive class car. The front 14-way electric adjustable seat has a high gold content and is designed by spine experts. Good comfort during long-distance driving, and more comprehensive protection of the spine when the vehicle collides.
The comfort of the rear seat is not very good, the filler is hard and the cushion is too short. Coupled with the hard chassis adjustment, the ride in the back row is not pleasing, and it is still a little less interesting from the positioning of the administrative car.
To tell the truth, S90 is still slightly inferior to German rivals in performance, comfort and driving quality. However, its concept of safety, health and environmental protection has always been the benchmark of the industry and has never been surpassed. These hard-to-see product advantages are the way Volvo makes cars.
But feelings can't be eaten as food, and finally it depends on the price. Use this S90? B5？ Zia deluxe edition, the manufacturer's price is 505,900, but the terminal often has a large discount.
