The 2022 Tesla Model S has gotten lots of positive attention due to its handsome appearance, staggering performance, serene riding experience and supercharged network. But can it compete against the 2022 Volvo S90, a potent vehicle which has received numerous accolades due to its gorgeous looks, interior gadgetry and blazing performance?

Design & Style

The S90 is a large and opulent car with classic European looks and the option of all or front wheel drive. The cabin looks best in wood and gray colored leather, and the grille has been revised with a hood that is low yet elongated. The LED lights have a distinct shape as do the lights in back, and the high definition displays in the cabin are simple to access and use. The Tesla Model S uses a hatchback style that works perfectly. The exterior is windswept and clearly designed to be aerodynamic, and in the cabin passengers will be treated to a massive seventeen inch touchscreen which gives them almost complete control over the vehicle. The seats are comfortable and will remain that way even on long, cross country journeys.

Technology & Safety

The NHTSA loves the Tesla Model S, so much so that it gave it a perfect 5 star rating. It has a number of advanced features, including emergency automated brakes that come standard, cruise control, lane assistance and the ability to monitor blind spots. But the feature that gets the most attention is Autopilot, a semi-autonomous function that allows the vehicle to automatically park and move itself.

Luxuries within its cabin are extensive, and include massage seats, 2,200 watt sound system, heated steering, climate control and a panoramic roof. The Volvo S90 is also rich in crash prevention gear, including a camera with surround view, lane and cruise control and a mechanism which enables it to automatically keep its distance from nearby vehicles. Luxuries within its cabin include heated seats, Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, panoramic sunroof and nine inch touchscreens.

Performance

Those who purchase the T8 Volvo S90 will get max performance, with an engine that can generate 400 horsepower which enables it to accelerate from zero to sixty in around 4.8 seconds. The Tesla Model S responds with a battery that is 100 kWh and capable of accelerating the vehicle from zero to sixty in just 3.7 seconds.

The Bottom Line

The Tesla Model S and Volvo S90 are well matched across multiple metrics. Despite the slight performance edge, The Tesla has inadequate rear seat space, its door handles are fussy and some features may change due to frequent updates, so the Volvo S90 wins.
