Cadillac CT5 vs. Volvo S90

The Cadillac CT5 and the Volvo S90 were born to rule the road. These sedans are crafted for refined yet commanding performance with their standard 2.0-liter turbocharged engines. Both models offer additional powertrains, such as the available 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 in the CT5. Delivering 335 horsepower and 405 lb-ft of torque to your daily drive, this motor is sure to delight.

The S90’s engine is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, which will provide smooth handling on the road. However, the CT5’s engine comes mated with a 10-speed automatic transmission that features leading-edge calibration and the latest generation of Electronic Precision Shift for truly seamless shifting.

With such an aggressive drive, the last thing you want to do is interrupt the ride to stop at the gas station. Luckily, the CT5 also earns an EPA-estimated 23 city/33 highway MPG. Combined with its 17-gallon tank, you’ll be able to journey over 560 highway miles before needing to refuel.

Despite a slight difference, you may find yourself running to the pump more frequently with the S90, though, since it achieves an EPA-estimated 23 city/32 highway MPG. In conjunction with its 15.9-gallon tank, you’ll have to make a pit stop after about 508 highway miles.

Both models feature the necessary accoutrements for today’s driver to remain informed, connected, and engaged. Among their similar infotainment features are:

However, this information may be more easily viewed on the standard 10-inch HD infotainment display in the CT5 compared to the 9-inch screen in the S90.

Of course, true comfort starts with having enough room to get comfortable no matter where your travels take you. This is especially important for you, the driver. Let’s look at the front-row dimensions offered by the CT5 and the S90.

As you can see, the Cadillac CT5 and the Volvo S90 have very similar front-legroom dimensions, so you’ll be able to stretch out with ease. However, taller drivers will probably prefer the CT5 over the S90 since it offers significantly more headroom.

The CT5 and the S90 come equipped with brand-specific versions of the following features, among others:

• Automatic Emergency Braking
• Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert
• Rear Cross Traffic Alert
• Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
• Rear Park Assist

That said, the Cadillac CT5 takes safety a step further by looking out for those who may not be able to speak up for themselves, such as young children or pets riding in the back seats. The Rear Seat Reminder prompts the driver to check back there before leaving the vehicle, ensuring the safety of all riders.

Technology has made driving much easier and safer. Parking these sedans is sure to be a breeze with the aid of the available HD Surround Vision. It utilizes cameras placed all around your car to provide a clear depiction of any obstacles.

If you really want to make parking a walk in the park, add Automatic Parking Assist with Braking to your Cadillac CT5. It can search for a suitable parallel or perpendicular parking space, seamlessly steer your sedan into it, and all while you sit back and relax. Without a comparable feature in the Volvo S90, you’ll need to park the old-fashioned way.
