Reviews SummaryWhen Volvo brought the S90 name back to the United States in 2017, it put an exclamation point on a refreshed lineup. The formerly staid Swedish brand was now competing in the luxury field. The 2021 Volvo S90 Recharge T8 Inscription shows off the best Volvo offers in terms of design, technology, safety, and luxury, making it a fitting flagship for the lineup. | |
Reviews SummaryThe 7 Series is BMW’s answer to the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, offering lavish amounts of space and luxurious features, while maintaining BMW's trademark sharp handling. The current-generation 7 Series was introduced for the 2023 model year and gets a substantial update for 2027. The exterior styling has been massaged and the interior rearranged to accommodate BMW’s new Panoramic Vision dashboard display. The all-electric i7 is updated as well, but we’ll cover that in a separate review. Verdict: The updated 7 Series continues to impress with a lavish interior and impressive handling for the segment, but its complexity and still-polarizing design make it hard to love. | |
