The Volvo V90 will finally make its first appearance
on US soil at the Detroit Motor Show as a MY2018, with the market
launch scheduled for later this year. The US-spec version of Volvo’s big wagon
builds on over 60 years of heritage that started with the Duett model.
After revealing the V90 Cross Country at the last LA
Motor Show, Volvo is now bringing the standard V90 to the US, marking the first
time the entire 90 series is shown together in its entirety in North America,
with models like the XC90 SUV, the S90 sedan and the V90 Cross Country standing
next to it.
Customers in the US will be offered two powertrain
options, the T5 FWD which is powered by a 250 hp 2.0-litre turbo petrol and the
T6 AWD which uses a 315 hp 2.0-litre turbocharged and supercharged petrol unit.
Both of them are coupled to an eight-speed automatic gearbox.
Volvo also says that it will offer the US-spec V90
exclusively as custom order vehicles via their own Online Concierge service or
Overseas Delivery, in order provide a full range of options and
personalization, starting with either the Inscription or the R-Design trim
level.
Volvo’s Concierge service lets customers pick their
vehicle’s features online, with the guidance of a Volvo representative. Then
the customer’s vehicle will be delivered to their local Volvo dealer to
complete the purchase. The Overseas Delivery service on the other hand includes
customers picking their preferred spec with their Volvo retailer and then
receiving two airplane tickets and hotel accommodation to pick up their car
from Volvo’s factory in Torslanda, Sweden.
The new 2018 US-Spec Volvo V90 debut at the 2017 Detroit Motor Show, with the first customer car expected to be delivered in
this summer.
