Furthermore, it gets an integrated 13" tablet,
electrically reclined and adjustable seats. The rear-seat passengers also get
luxury massage functionality. A pop-up screen located between the rear seats
operates massage, ventilation and heating/cooling functions. The XC90
Excellence Lounge trim also offers an exclusive set of crystal glasses and
special champagne flute holders. It also comes kitted with an in-car
refrigerator provided between the seats. Its central armrest gets pop-out tray
tables.
The Volvo XC90 Excellence
Lounge runs on an exclusive T8 Twin Engine hybrid system which combines a 320
PS 2.0-litre turbocharged and supercharged petrol motor which works in tandem
with an 88 PS electric motor. The electric motors delivers power to the rear
wheels, while the ICE propels the front wheels.
