TCC’s Bottom Line

Made as a sedan, wagon, coupe, and convertible with four different powertrains, the 2021 Mercedes E-Class has wide appeal.

The 2021 Volvo S90 and V90 argue for luxury-car status with rational performance and style.

TCC Dislikes

Black plastic console

Synthetic leather in a $60,000 car?

Expensive in top trims
Powertrains could be more refined
Tuned for comfort, not speed
