NEW VOLVO S90 VS 5 SERIES, A4
Volvo used to be famous for two things: big boxy cars and top-notch safety. Its new large executive saloon, the S90, deftly shows just how far the design department has changed direction. Safety is still a major part of the Swedish brand’s modus operandi, though, so all manner of driver aids are thrown in as standard.

This is a car with tremendous all round ability, which is why it’s been top dog since its arrival in 2010. The 520d is the obvious barometer by which to judge the S90, but what about the smaller Audi A4, our current Car of the Year?
