**The Volvo S90: A Comfortable Cruiser with Impressive Standard Equipment**

If you're looking for a comfortable and quiet car to travel in, the Volvo S90 is definitely worth considering. As we explored in our video review, this Swedish-designed car features a very comfy interior, thanks in part to its excellent suspension system, which deals really well with bumps on the road. This makes it an ideal choice for long journeys or daily commutes.

One of the standout features of the S90 is its seats, which are simply brilliant. The car's design prioritizes comfort and relaxation, with seats that are designed to provide maximum support and minimize fatigue. Whether you're driving alone or with passengers, these seats will make your journey feel like a spa treatment. And while we were testing the car, we couldn't help but notice how peaceful it was to travel in - hardly any wind noise, no annoying tire whine, just a smooth and quiet ride.

Of course, safety is always a top priority for Volvo, and the S90 delivers in this area too. The car features a range of advanced safety features, including lane departure warning, pilot assist (which will drive the car for you at speeds up to 80mph), and automatic emergency braking. And with its impressive visibility, the S90's blind spots are virtually non-existent - making it an ideal choice for families or those who need a safe and reliable ride.

Under the bonnet, the Volvo S90 is powered by a single engine option: the D4 2.0-liter diesel, which produces 190 horsepower and can accelerate from 0-60mph in just 8 seconds. While this may not be as powerful as some of its rivals, it's more than enough for everyday driving - and with an estimated fuel economy of 64mpg, it won't break the bank either.

However, while the S90's engine is certainly impressive, we couldn't help but feel a little underwhelmed by the choice of gearboxes. While the 8-speed automatic is smooth and refined when cruising at moderate speeds, it can be a bit sluggish when pushing hard - particularly compared to the faster and more responsive auto gearbox found in some other rivals.

If comfort and refinement are your top priorities, however, then the S90 may still be worth considering. And with its impressive levels of standard equipment, including heated seats, climate control, and a range of convenience features, it's clear that Volvo has put a lot of thought into creating a car that prioritizes the needs of its passengers.

**Cool Things About the Volvo S90**

There are plenty of interesting design touches on the S90, including the super slim backs on its Swedish-designed seats, which maximize rear knee room. And for fans of Norse mythology, there's even a touch of Thor's hammer to be found in the daytime running lights - designed to look like Mjolnir, the god's mighty sword.

But it's not all about looks and features - some interesting technical innovations make the S90 stand out from its rivals too. For example, its pedestrian protection system can automatically detect pedestrians, cyclists, or large animals (like a deer!) and deploy the airbags to minimize the impact of an accident. And if you're driving in poor air quality, the car's ventilation system will even automatically shut off - preventing you from breathing in pollutants.

**The Verdict**

Overall, we were impressed by the Volvo S90's ability to deliver comfort, refinement, and safety features without compromising on style or performance. While it may not be as sporty as some of its rivals, with an 8-speed automatic gearbox that can feel sluggish at times, this is a car that will appeal to those who prioritize practicality and ease of use above all else.

If you're in the market for a comfortable and reliable car, we'd certainly recommend taking the S90 for a spin. And if you click up there, you can find out more information about this excellent car - including the best deals on offer at Car.co.uk. Thanks for watching!
