Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2025 S90.
The 2025 Volvo S90 pairs an eight-speed automatic transmission with EPA ratings of 23 mpg city, 31 highway, and 26 combined, anchoring a model year that has logged 61 owner complaints to date with the electrical system as the leading category and three recalls issued. Viewed against the nameplate's longer complaint record from 1997 through 2016 — where annual totals swung from a single report in 1999 to a peak of 39 in 1998 — the current figure exceeds the historical high, signaling a meaningful departure from prior reliability patterns for this generation.

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
The 2025 Volvo S90 shows an increase in reported issues compared to the 2016 model year, which recorded zero complaints. Across the provided federal record, complaint volumes have fluctuated, but the 2025 model represents a rise in reports, specifically within the Electrical System (9) and "Unknown Or Other" (6) categories. Additional complaints for 2025 include a combination of Electrical and Fuel/Propulsion systems (5) and the Power Train (3). While there is one reported crash complaint and no fire complaints, the data does not specify the root causes for these electrical or powertrain failures. Because this year shows a spike in critical system complaints compared to the 2016 baseline, it is not a recommended year to buy.
