There is also use of right amount of chrome finishing to add a premium feel to the exterior, and it works!
Inside, the cabin of Volvo S90 feels airy and spacious thanks to the beige in interiors and increased wheelbase. The feature-rich cabin packs a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system that supports GPS navigation and Apple CarPlay, multi-functional 3-spoke steering wheel, Heads Up Display (HUD) unit, electrically adjustable front seats with memory & ventilation functions and 1400 watt Bowers & Wilkins sound system.
Initially, the new Volvo S90 will be offered only with a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine that makes 190bhp of power and 400Nm of peak torque. The engine comes paired to an 8-speed automatic gearbox. The sedan can be driven in three different modes – Eco, Comfort and Sport.
