Engine power and kerb weight are registration-weighted averages across the 14 EU/EEA countries that registered the Volvo S90 in 2025 (177 cars). Source: EEA COâ‚‚ monitoring (CC BY 4.0).
Engine power is the type-approved engine power (EEA field Ep). For hybrids and plug-in hybrids it is the power of the combustion engine, not the system power, and for electric cars it can differ from the peak power the manufacturer advertises.

Power by engine variant (Norway)
267 Volvo S90 cars registered for the first time in Norway in 2019–2023, by drivetrain and type-approved engine power. The EEA data has no trim names, so variants are told apart by power.
| Drivetrain | Power | Kerb weight | Years | Registered in Norway |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Plug-in hybrid (petrol) | 223 kW (299 hp) | 2,049 kg | 2019–2023 | 190 |
| Plug-in hybrid (petrol) | 228 kW (306 hp) | 2,119 kg | 2022–2023 | 19 |
| Plug-in hybrid (petrol) | 233 kW (312 hp) | 2,031 kg | 2019–2020 | 17 |
| Plug-in hybrid (petrol) | 235 kW (315 hp) | 2,021 kg | 2019 | 21 |
| Diesel | 140 kW (188 hp) | 1,725 kg | 2019–2020 | 11 |
Plus 5 variants with fewer than 10 cars (9 cars in total).
Power is the type-approved engine power (EEA field Ep). For hybrids and plug-in hybrids it is the combustion engine, not the system output; for electric cars it can differ from the peak power in the maker’s marketing. Kerb weight is the average for the variant. Source: EEA CO₂ monitoring (CC BY 4.0), one record per car (the years EEA lists twice, 2019 to 2021, are counted once).
