The Volvo S90 has marked its entry into the Indian market with its recent launch. The luxury sedan has gone on sale at Rs 53.5 lakh (ex-showroom Mumbai) through the CBU route. The sedan replaces the ageing S80 range and is underpinned by the same modular platform (SPAR) found in the XC90 SUV. Check out these top 5 features of the sedan, which is offered in the single top-of-the-line Inscription luxury variant in our country.
Design of the fascia - Well, the overall design of the S90 sedan is modern and timeless. The fascia sports the brand's signature ‘Thor hammer’ headlights and an Iron Mark grille. This stylish front gets LED DRLs that are integrated right in the centre of the headlight enclosure giving it a very elegant look.
Cabin space - The luxury S90 sedan competes with the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, BMW 5 Series, Audi A6 and the Jaguar XF in its segment. It stands out for being the longest in its class and so the cabin space is also unmatched. Even six-footers occupy a comfortable spot in both rows. In fact, the second row offers enough room for even three passengers without feeling cramped, thanks to its width.
Giant 9-inch touchscreen system - Once inside, you will notice a huge screen that occupies a prominent space on the centre console. The conventional buttons have given way to this 9-inch infotainment system, which is super responsive and gives you a feel of using a tablet. Users have access to not just the music system, but navigation, drive modes, air-con and many more features through this single screen.
Four-zone climate control - The S90's cabin is very minimalistic and modern in appearance, but offers utmost levels of luxury. Volvo has equipped this sedan with four-zone climate control, meaning all four passengers can set the system to blow air at them at a temperature that they choose. Yes, independent cooling/heating for passengers.
Safety - Volvo has always been known for putting safety first and the S90 is no exception. Seven airbags, adaptive cruise control, front collision mitigation, rear parking sensors, lane keeping assist, automatic braking, ABS, EBD and BA all of these are standard on the luxury sedan.
