Volvo Cars debuted the highly-anticipated Volvo S90
luxury sedan in Gothenburg, Sweden on the heels of the company's award-winning
Volvo XC90 SUV. The all-new Volvo S90 sedan is a bold entry into the luxury
sedan market and sets a new standard with superior materials, technology,
comfort and class-leading semi-autonomous features.
"With $11 USD billion of investment over the past
five years we have not only reimagined what Volvo Cars can be - we are now
delivering on our promise of a resurgent and relevant Volvo Cars brand,"
said HÃ¥kan Samuelsson, President & CEO, Volvo Car Group.
The Volvo S90 will combine Scandinavian design with
cutting-edge safety and cloud-based applications and services. The interior
makes use of the Sensus Connect touchscreen that debuted in the XC90, providing
a clutter-free interior with minimal dashboard buttons.
"Our idea was to bring something entirely new to
this rather conservative segment and deliver a visual expression that exudes
leadership and confidence on the exterior. On the inside we have taken the S90
to the next level, delivering a high-end luxury experience that promises
comfort and control," said Thomas Ingenlath, Senior Vice President Design
at Volvo Car Group.
The Volvo S90 introduces another step toward Volvo's
Vision 2020, which states that no one should be killed or seriously injured in
a new Volvo by the year 2020, through world first safety technologies and
highly advanced semi-autonomous features.
Three engine choices will be available: the
award-winning four-cylinder, 2.0 liter turbocharged and supercharged T6 engine,
the turbocharged T5 variant and the clean and powerful T8 Twin Engine plug-in
hybrid.
"The S90 has taken a big step forward in terms of
driving dynamics, performance and ride. We have completely redesigned the Volvo
driving experience from the ground up to deliver a sense of precision, engaging
control and comfort," said Dr. Peter Mertens, Senior Vice President,
Research & Development at Volvo Car Group.
The S90 will follow a legacy of strong sedan sales for
Volvo Cars in the United States. Over the last several years, Volvo sedans have
enjoyed significant demand at launch, with the last luxury sedan outselling
robust competitors in its segment. Volvo Cars has seen an 18% growth in US car
sales so far in 2015. The all-new 2016 XC90 has received strong demand from
American drivers along with the XC60, which has enjoyed 31% growth in US sales.
"The S90 is a terrific addition to the Volvo Cars
lineup in the United States," said Lex Kerssemakers, President and CEO of
Volvo Cars of North America, "it will continue the terrific sales momentum
Volvo Cars has gained within the last year."
