India bound Volvo S90 showcased at 2016 Geneva Motor Show

Swedish automaker Volvo has showcased its India bound S90 at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show. This car debuted at the2016 Detroit Motor Show and replaces the S80 range in their global lineup.

The S90 has all the noticeable traits of the new Volvo design including the iron slat front grille and Thor’s hammer headlamps. Volvo has dubbed S90 a coupe with four doors this is visible in the low roofline and forward leaning stance. The cabin of the S90 is pretty similar to that of the XC90 with the minimalist design thanks to the large touchscreen and absence of any major buttons on the dashboard.

It will be offered with the same engine lineup as the XC90. This includes a 2.0-litre turbo diesel mill that produces 225bhp/470Nm of torque. An eight-speed AT sends power to the front wheels or all wheels via and AWD system. In terms of petrol engines there will be a T6 model powered as well as a top-of-the-line T8 hybrid variant.
Volvo has always been the pioneer with regard to safety features in vehicles and the S90 has not skimped when it comes to this department. Apart from the usual plethora of airbags and other protective equipment there is also a semi-autonomous drive Pilot Assist and the IntelliSafe Assist as standard equipment. The latter tech includes Adaptive Cruise Control and Distance Alert.
The S90 and its estate sibling the V90 will be launched for the European markets over the course of this year. As we had said earlier, the S90 sedan will come to India by the end of this year and is expected to be offered in both petrol and diesel variants.
