Based on the globally acclaimed ‘Concept Coupe’ the S90 exudes panache and clean design language. One-look and its difficult to keep your eyes away from this beauty. The concave elements in the chrome finished grille provides dimension to the bold and proud Volvo Ironmark flanked by the Full-LED Thor’s Hammer headlights. The sides of the car have an elongated passenger cabin to cue open spaces and the signature shoulder-line treatment resembles a luxury yacht. The rear has a new distinct tail lamp cluster and the Volvo spread out wordmark is a premium sign-off for the car. The Inscription variant comes with chrome finish exterior package that underlines premium imagery and the overall length – 4963mm makes it longest in the segment.
Interior Design:
The Volvo S90 interior is luxury redefined. Attention to detail and exquisite materials has taken a new paradigm when it comes to the S90 interiors. From the finely crafted leather dashboard to the use of natural-finish walnut wood encased in a single piece chrome element that adorns the front console, everything about the interiors will make you feel special. The seat has soft perforated Nappa leather that enables heating and cooling through the seats. Both front seats have lumbar support and power adjustable seat extenders provide supreme comfort. The NVH levels shuts outside noise and cocoons the customers in serenity while the cabin comes with 4-Zone air-conditioning. The rear wheels feature independent air-suspension for going that extra mile in providing supreme comfort and ride. Our Interior Air Quality system enhanced with charcoal filter restricts particulate matter PM2.5 and PM10 to enter the S90 cabin.Powertrain:
The S90 is equipped with a sub 2L diesel that delivers 190 horsepower and 400 Nm Torque. The engine is an inline 4 cyl turbocharged from the Drive-E family that optimises power, mileage and emissions. It is tuned to derive a balance between driving pleasure and driving comfort. The powertrain system is Euro 6 compliant and the exhaust manifold comes fitted with the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) that restricts the emission of particulate matter PM2.5 and PM10 by at least 95%. Volvo Cars is the first car company in India that made DPF standard in all our cars since 2007. The future is smaller, cleaner and more powerful engines and our sub 2L strategy will be beneficial for the environment.
