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 SummaryRedesigned for 2023, the 7 Series is BMW's full-size flagship sedan, arch-rival to the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Audi A8, and newcomers like the Genesis G90. For 2024, BMW has added the plug-in hybrid (PHEV) 750e and lightly updated the infotainment system. Unfortunately, these additions don't change the 7 Series calculus. The 750e offers a boost in power and efficiency over the low-end 740i, but it costs more, has a disjointed driving personality, and quickly eats its electric charge. Despite the update, the car's digital systems remain frustratingly complex. Verdict: The 2024 BMW 7 Series has lots to offer luxury buyers, including features like a rear-seat theatre and cashmere upholstery, plus performance and fuel efficiency that are often superior to most rivals, few of whom offer PHEV options. But the car's frustrating digital systems and controls undermine the experience. | |
