Exterior Design: Aligning with Volvo’s Latest Aesthetic
The 2025 S90 adopts a refreshed exterior that brings it in line with Volvo’s latest design language, as seen on models like the XC90 and the all-electric ES90. Notable changes include:

Interior Enhancements: Technology and Comfort
Inside the cabin, the S90 receives several updates aimed at improving user experience and comfort:
- Infotainment System: A new 11.2-inch floating touchscreen replaces the previous 9.0-inch unit. This system runs updated software that offers improved responsiveness and supports over-the-air updates, ensuring the infotainment system remains current.
- Sound Insulation: Additional sound-deadening materials have been incorporated to enhance cabin quietness, contributing to a more refined driving experience.
