Volvo New S90 Excellence
At the upcoming 2016
Guangzhou Motor Show, Volvo will show two new S90s. The first is the
local version of the 'standard' S90, while the new S90 Excellence, looks set to
become the Swedish firm's most luxurious vehicle produced to date.
The S90
Excellence comes fitted with the brand's Lounge Console, a feature previewed by
a concept last year, but had yet to reach production. The
Lounge Console of the S90 Excellence sits in place of the front passenger seat
and aims to offer supreme levels of comfort and luxury to the rear passenger.
It incorporates a large
compartment where items can be stored and also incorporates an
adjustable footrest and built-in entertainment system with a large display.
There's also a built-in refrigeration compartment and handmade crystal glasses
sourced from Swedish glassmaker Orrefors. Alongside the Lounge
Console, the S90 Excellence also includes a panoramic sunroof, heated and
cooled cup holders and foldout worktables.
Power will come thanks to the brand's T8 Twin Engine, a plug-in hybrid powertrain
that combines a 316 hp twincharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder driving the front
wheels with an 86 hp powering the rear. The standard S90 for China will be
available with this setup alongside the T4 and T5 petrol engines.
Both models include a
semi-autonomous driving assistance system that operates at up to 130 km/h as
well as a 'Large Animal Detection' system. There's also a 'CleanZone' air
quality system in both, four-zone air conditioning system and an infotainment
system supporting Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
