Volvo has announced the R-Design trim for its new flagship S90 sedan and V90 estate. The top-of-the-line variants will have sporty cues both to the exterior and interior apart from some performance upgrades.
Volvo says that the S90 and V90 get an advanced sport chassis that delivers an energetic, road-hugging drive. Cosmetically it has a new front-end spoiler integrated with fog lights, matte black diamond-cut wheels, sporty front grille and piano black inserts both at the front and back. The interior gets a sporty trim with an unique steering wheel, contoured seats and illumination package.
The performance details of the S90 R-Design have not been confirmed yet. We expect those to be announced in the international markets, along with the pricing, in the next quarter. The R-Design will be the top-of-the-line trim for the S90 and hence will be offered in India at the time of the launch. Volvo plans to introduce the S90 here as a CBU by the end of the year. We can expect this sedan to be priced in the range of Rs 60 lakh to Rs 70 lakh, slightly above the Mercedes E-Class and BMW 5 Series.
