TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2017 BMW 5-Series may do for tech sedans what turn-of-the-century 5-Series did for sport sedans.

The 2017 Volvo S90 gets all the elegance and style of the brilliant new XC90 crossover, in a sedan package.

TCC Dislikes

Expensive in a hurry
Some color combos don't work
Rearview camera optional

Tight access to roomy back seat
