Is the Volvo S90 four-wheel drive?
2 Answers
Volvo S90 has four-wheel drive models. The hybrid version of S90 is four-wheel drive. Engine related technologies: This engine is equipped with direct injection technology and uses aluminum alloy cylinder heads and blocks. The maximum power of the matched electric motor is 65 kilowatts, and the maximum torque is 240 Newton meters. Difference between front four-wheel drive and front-wheel drive: The Volvo S90 uses double-wishbone independent suspension at the front and multi-link independent suspension at the rear. The double-wishbone suspension consists of upper and lower wishbones with a connecting rod, which can reduce body roll and brake dive, improving handling and ride comfort. The multi-link suspension is an improved version of the double-wishbone suspension, enhancing wheel grip.
As someone familiar with Volvo, I must say the S90's drivetrain depends on specific configurations. The T5 version introduced to China in previous years was indeed front-wheel drive, but the top-tier T6 twin-charged model at that time featured a genuine all-wheel-drive system, providing exceptional stability in snowy conditions. However, the 2023 lineup has switched entirely to front-wheel drive with 48V mild hybrid, while the plug-in hybrid T8 model achieves four-wheel drive via electric motors—the rear wheels are powered solely by electric motors, with the front wheels driven by a 2.0T engine. This split design saves fuel and enhances handling. Currently, all fuel-powered versions in showrooms are front-wheel drive. I recommend checking the latest configuration table on the official website, as the current model still offers a snow mode, making it fully capable for daily use.
