Looks can be deceptive, and it’s hard to believe the Volvo V90 estate was first released seven years ago. Since its launch in 2016, the V90 has barely aged, so clean and modern are its external lines. Yet with such established and competent rivals constantly evolving and improving, the Volvo estate has had to do exactly the same thing. Admittedly, the external image hasn’t changed much – it didn’t need to – but Volvo has made changes inside and under the skin.
Chief among the updates is a new infotainment system that leans more heavily on its Google underpinnings, incorporating Google Maps and other such features much more cleverly, but that’s not all. Volvo has also made merry with the engine range – particularly with the popular plug-in hybrids – in a bid to improve efficiency and performance. The question is whether that will be enough to keep the V90 up there with the best in its class?
