Back-Seat Driver

Highs: Roomy rear seat, stunning style, torque-rich engine. Lows: Half-baked infotainment system, ride quality diminished on rough roads, slower than its predecessor.

Volvo ought to include a chauffeur's cap with every S90 because the sedan fills the void left by once-beloved livery vehicles such as the Cadillac DeVille and the Lincoln Town Car. Although the svelte Swede forgoes the stodgy styling of those discontinued American sedans, the Volvo feels like a kindred spirit to both. Credit its rear passenger compartments nearly full-size accommodations and a base price ($53,895) that's in line with mid-size luxury sedans.
