Volvo's distinctive and simplistic interior design is more appealing compared to the Toyota-inspired interior of the Lexus hybrid. You'll find that the portrait-oriented 9-inch touchscreen and lighter colors make the 2024 S90's cabin more homey. The 2024 ES Hybrid has a larger 12.3-inch touchscreen, but its widescreen aspect makes it look smaller.
Both luxury cars have Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ as standard. They also come with Bluetooth® hands-free and audio streaming capabilities. The 2024 S90's infotainment software is Google-based and offers seamless over-the-air updating. The system also has built-in Google Assistant, Google Maps, and Google Play.
Buyers of the 2024 S90 can pick options such as a heads-up display and a Bowers & Wilkins 1,410-watt premium sound system with 19 speakers. Then, there’s a special Orrefors handcrafted gear shifter available, made from genuine Swedish crystal. Meanwhile, the 2024 ES Hybrid offers a 10-speaker sound system and doesn’t offer a premium handcrafted gear shift knob.
Both luxury cars have identically sized 14-cubic-foot cargo compartments. The rear seats can be folded down to carry longer items. Meanwhile, you’ll find front plus rear cup holders, center console storage boxes, and glove boxes in both cars.
The 2024 S90 is available as a mild hybrid or a Recharge plug-in hybrid. The mild hybrid called the B6, has a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine paired with a 48-volt mild hybrid system. The mild hybrid system includes an electric supercharger and an electric starter-generator. The powertrain produces a total of 295 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. An 8-speed automatic gearbox and all-wheel drive are standard.
The plug-in hybrid of the 2024 S90, called the Recharge, has the same 2.0-liter 4-cylinder turbocharged engine and 8-speed automatic transmission. There's still an electric starter generator. But it now has a second electric motor to drive the rear axle and a 10.4-kilowatt-hour battery. The system can generate up to 455 horsepower and 523 pound-feet of torque. The Recharge can drive for up to 38 miles on electric power.
The 2024 Lexus ES Hybrid is powered by a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated 4-cylinder engine and two electric motors. An electronic CVT gearbox is standard, as is the front-wheel drive. The system can generate up to 215 horsepower.
