The Volvo V90 is the station wagon version of the S90 executive sedan. Introduced in March of 2016, this is a vehicle attempts to recapture some of the market share for station wagons, which has been overtaken by sport utility vehicles in recent years. It represents a return for the Swedish automaker, which was once a pioneer in the design and manufacture of such vehicles, then discontinued the line after putting out six million of them over a six decade period.

Like its sister model, the S90, the V90 is powered by a 2.0 liter, four cylinder VEA engine. This inline four is available as a gasoline or turbocharged diesel powered motor. The latter features a new technology called "Power Pulse." This technology eliminates what is known as "turbo lag," which is a delay in acceleration and throttle response typical of turbocharged engines. This is accomplished by employing a small electric air compressor, which pumps air into a cannister. When the throttle is applied, it opens a valve is opened, allowing the compressed air to travel into the inlet manifold - ensuring that there is air pressure before the turbo kicks in.

The diesel model also includes the i-Art fuel injection system. This is a closed loop control system that runs independently, making adjustments to the amount of fuel and spark timing based on feedback from the injectors themselves. Each individual injector has its own pressure sensor, which sends this information to the engine's main computer.

An plug-in electric hybrid variant, designated as the T8, is also available.

The V90 is a distinct improvement over its predecessor, the V70. Whe in come to the Volvo V90 vs V70, the V90 has the latter beat in the safety department. In keeping with its commitment to building the safest vehicles on the road, Volvo has equipped the V90 with numerous new safety features, including an upgrade of Pilot Assist technology. While this feature stops just short of making the V90 a self driving car, it employs numerous sensors that can identify lane markings as well as other vehicles on the road and even people an animals that may stray into the vehicle's path. This puts the Volvo V90 on a par with competing models such as the Mercedes-Benz E Class and the BMW 7Series
