THE MOTORCALIBER REVIEW
MotorCaliber editorial ◆ Reviewed against NHTSA data ◆ 2026-10-01

The Volvo S90 B6 AWD is a full-size Swedish luxury sedan competing against the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class. Aimed at discerning buyers who want understated Scandinavian elegance paired with a mild-hybrid powertrain and all-wheel drive, the S90 positions itself as a safety-forward alternative in a segment where brand heritage and real-world protection both matter.

The 2022 Volvo S90 B6 AWD distinguishes itself with a complete absence of recalls. For the entire model year, no federal corrective actions were deemed necessary, indicating a robust initial quality assessment from Volvo. Owner complaints are similarly negligible, with only one reported to NHTSA, documenting no crashes, fires, injuries, or fatalities. This single unverified allegation is statistically insignificant. However, a critical gap in federal data prevents a comprehensive safety evaluation: NHTSA did not conduct crash tests on the 2022 S90. Consequently, there are no star ratings available, no federal barrier or pole-impact data to analyze, and no NHTSA Safety Index score can be assigned. While the S90 B6 AWD features a standard suite of active-safety technologies and Volvo maintains a reputation for occupant protection, MotorCaliber's assessment relies solely on published federal statistics. On the available data, the 2022 S90 B6 AWD presents a clean record, but the full safety profile remains incomplete without crash-test results.

WHAT REVIEWERS SAYReviewers generally praise the S90 for its calm, refined cabin atmosphere, high-quality materials, and composed highway ride. The infotainment layout draws occasional criticism for requiring too many steps to reach common functions, but the driving experience is widely described as smooth and unhurried. Most reviewers position the S90 as a strong choice for buyers who prioritize interior refinement and a distinct aesthetic over outright sportiness.

WHAT TO KNOW
  • NHTSA did not crash-test the 2022 S90 B6 AWD, so no federal star ratings or Safety Index score exists for this model year. Shoppers seeking independent crash data should consult IIHS results directly.
  • The 2022 S90 B6 AWD carries zero NHTSA recalls across the model year we cover, which is a positive indicator that no safety-critical defect triggered a federal corrective action.
  • Only one owner complaint has been filed with NHTSA for this model year, and it reported zero crashes, zero injuries, and zero fatalities. While complaints are unverified allegations, the volume is notably low for a vehicle in this class.
  • Because federal crash-test coverage is absent, buyers should weigh Volvo's standard active-safety suite carefully and verify which driver-assistance features are included as standard versus optional on their specific trim before purchase.
