Volvo S90

S90 highlights

June 30, 2017: The Volvo S90 now comes with radar-based safety tech, which makes the car even safer to be in. The updated safety kit includes features like adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, collision warning and blind-spot detection.

The Volvo S90 has also received five star safety rating by Euro NCAP. Tested against Euro NCAP’s 2017 test regime, the Volvo S90 surpassed the best overall score of any model tested for safety in 2016.

The S90 is Volvo's flagship sedan and is available in a single variant – Inscription – in India. Volvo launched it at a price of Rs 53.5 lakh (pre-octroi ex-showroom, Mumbai). It will primarily go up against the popular German sedans –  the Mercedes-Benz E Class, BMW 3 Series and the Audi A4 –  along with the Jaguar XF. The S90 shares its platform – scalable product architecture (SPA) – along with a lot of features and powertrains with the XC90 SUV globally. In India, it will be powered solely by the ‘D4’ 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder diesel engine that makes 190PS of power and 400Nm of torque. The engine is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission that channels the output only to the front wheels.
