Compare the2023 Jaguar XFVS 2023 Volvo S90

When descending a steep, off-road slope, the XF’s standard All Surface Progress Control allows you to creep down safely. The S90 doesn’t offer All Surface Progress Control.

Both the XF and the S90 have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, side-impact head airbags, front and rear seatbelt pretensioners, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, crash mitigating brakes, daytime running lights, lane departure warning systems, blind spot warning systems, around view monitors, rear cross-path warning and driver alert monitors.

The XF comes with a full 5-year/60,000-mile basic warranty, which covers the entire car and includes 24-hour roadside assistance. The S90’s 4-year/50,000-mile basic warranty expires 1 year or 10,000 miles sooner.

Jaguar pays for scheduled maintenance on the XF for 2 years and 24,000 miles longer than Volvo pays for maintenance for the S90 (5/60,000 vs. 3/36,000).

J.D. Power and Associates’ 2022 Initial Quality Study of new car owners surveyed provide the statistics that show that Jaguar vehicles are better in initial quality than Volvo vehicles. With 46 fewer problems per 100 vehicles, JD Power ranks Jaguar higher than Volvo.

J.D. Power and Associates’ 2022 survey of the owners of three-year-old vehicles provides the long-term dependability statistics that show that Jaguar vehicles are more reliable than Volvo With 23 fewer problems per 100 vehicles in the first three years of ownership, J.D. Power ranks Jaguar higher than Volvo.

The XF has 3.6 gallons more fuel capacity than the S90 (19.5 vs. 15.9 gallons), for longer range between fill-ups.

For better stopping power the XF’s brake rotors are larger than those on the S90:

The front and rear suspension of the XF uses coil springs for better ride, handling and control than the S90, which uses transverse leafs springs in the rear. Coil springs compress more progressively and offer more suspension travel for a smoother ride with less bottoming out.

The Jaguar XF may be more efficient, handle and accelerate better because it weighs about 650 to 850 pounds less than the Volvo S90.

The XF is 4.7 inches shorter than the S90, making the XF easier to handle, maneuver and park in tight spaces.

The XF has .4 inches more rear headroom and 1 inch more rear shoulder room than the S90.

The XF’s standard rear seats fold to accommodate long and bulky cargo. The S90 Luxury Package doesn’t offer folding rear seats.

Standard Trailer Stability Assist on the XF uses the Dynamic Stability Control sensors to detect trailer sway, then uses individual brakes to counteract any swaying and help keep the tow vehicle and trailer steady. The S90 doesn’t offer electronic trailer sway control.

The engine in the XF is mounted longitudinally (North-South), instead of sideways, as in the S90. This makes it easier to service and maintain, because the accessory belts are in front.

A maintenance reminder system is standard on the XF to save the owner time and money by calculating maintenance intervals for oil changes based on odometer mileage. This takes the guesswork out of keeping your vehicle in top condition and helps it last longer. Volvo doesn’t offer a maintenance reminder on the S90.

The XF SE/R-Dynamic’s standard easy entry system raises the steering wheel when the door is unlocked or the ignition is switched off, making it easier for the driver to get in and out. The S90 doesn’t offer an easy entry system.

The XF S’ optional Park Assist can parallel park or back into a parking spot by itself, with the driver only controlling speed with the brake pedal. The S90 doesn’t offer an automated parking system.

The XF is available in both rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations. The S90 doesn’t offer a two-wheel drive configuration.
