The 2021 Volvo S90 facelift has just made its regional debut at the ongoing Thailand International Motor Expo, nearly nine months after its global reveal. It takes on the new Recharge nomenclature (indicating its plug-in hybrid powertrain) and will be sold alongside the full electric XC40 Recharge, which retails for 2.09 million baht.
The changes made to the sedan are subtle.
To start, it gets a new front and rear bumpers with accentuated with full-width
chrome strips, revised tail lamp elements, and hidden exhaust tips. There is
also a new Recharge badge to tidy up the tail. Cabin revisions are similarly
subtle. Inscription models will get a fancier Orrefors crystal gear knob, an
Advanced Air Cleaner with PM2.5 particulate filter, upgraded Bowers &
Wilkins sound system with a new amplifier, active noise cancellation, plus a
new “Jazz Club” audio profile.
The powertrain should remain unchanged
from before, which means the top T8 Recharge variant will still use the same
electrified 2.0 litre four-cylinder Drive-E engine as before. The total system
output is 407 hp and 640 Nm, numbers good for a century sprint time of 4.8
seconds.
No prices have been announced for the
Thai-spec S90 Recharge.
