What changed on the 2023 Volvo S90
Volvo Expert (opens in a new tab) says the 2023 S90 offers a simplified lineup of trim levels, that the year before Volvo added a new standard engine with a 48-volt mild hybrid system for increased efficiency and performance and upgraded the S90 Recharge plug-in hybrid, and that the new 295-hp B6 mild-hybrid powertrain produced a solid 6.4-second zero-to-60 mph time in its tests. The EPA rates the 2023 S90 at 26 to 30 mpg combined and $2,600 to $3,000 a year in fuel on fueleconomy.gov (opens in a new tab), all-wheel drive throughout, against 20 to 28 mpg ($2,750 to $3,900) for the 2023 BMW 5 Series.
Recalls on the 2023 S90
NHTSA lists three recalls that reach the 2023 S90. 22V793 covers 2022 to 2023 S60, V60, S90L, XC60 and XC90 models where an engine control module software fault can affect the engine. 25V282 and 25V908 are 2025 campaigns covering rearview camera software across the Volvo lineup, including 2022 to 2025 S90 models.
