Volvo S90/V90 - How has the boot space changed over the generations?

How has the Boot space changed over the generations? Ah, it's akin to watching a child grow, if one could harbor parental feelings for a car's cargo capacity. Initially bestowing upon us 491 liters in its infancy (1996-1998), Volvo's designers must have spent the intervening years in silent meditation, plotting, until re-emerging with the 2016 reboot. Boom, 500 liters, a modest increment but a step in the right direction. With the digital ink barely dry on that blueprint, they struck again - the 2020 facelift revelation? 507 liters of pure Scandinavian air. Couple that with the seats down, and you're looking at 1473 liters of 'bring it on' to any and all cargo challenges.

The boot space compared to other Volvo models

In the grand Volvo constellation, the S90/V90 twins are not merely stars but veritable supernovas of storage, especially when contrasted with their celestial siblings. Take for instance the Volvo XC90 Recharge Plug-in Hybrid, lurking at a mere 262 liters, as if it’s been on a severe diet compared to the S90/V90's hearty feasting. Both the EX90 and the XC90 present themselves with a somewhat apologetic 310 liters. Practically every model, from the plucky EC40 to the electric visions of the C40 and XC40, all bow before the S90/V90 in a respectful nod to their superior boot space. It’s a veritable ‘hold my beer’ moment within the Volvo family, illustrating the S90/V90’s dominance in haulage.

How does the boot space of the Volvo S90/V90 compare to it's nearest competitors?

But let's not dwell only in the land of Volvos. Venturing forth into the automotive realm, how does the Volvo S90/V90 stack up against the chariots of rivals? The Fiat Tipo and Mercedes-Benz T-Klasse, both seemingly spacious contenders with 520 liters, are but novices in the art of storage compared to the V90's lavish 507 liters. The Hyundai IONIQ 6, with its futuristic allure, offers a mere 401 liters, making it look like it’s brought a knife to a gunfight. Even the burly Ford Edge and its 602 liters, can't overshadow the Volvo when those seats are folded down, unleashing the V90's cavernous capacity. It's as though the Swedes have engineered a black hole of storage, defying the very laws of spatial physics.
