The Volvo S90 is a Swedish luxury sedan that has established itself in Kenya as the best pick for high-net-worth individuals who value prestige, grandeur, and a lasting impression. Besides its stylish exterior design and sumptuous cabin, the S90 is renowned for a refined driving experience that is quite smooth in bumper-to-bumper traffic on Waiyaki Way, and its speed when driving on the Mombasa-Nairobi highway is quite thrilling thanks to a turbocharger. The turbo is responsible for creating more power, and in the course of doing so, sometimes it gets damaged, hindering the performance of the S90.
