Volvo Plans to Launch S90 in US

Volvo is planning to launch its all new flagship, the S90, in US. The very next model of the earlier S80 version from Volvo, shares the platform of the Volvo XC90. Company claims that the S90 will share not only the platform of the later, but also would have same engine specifications. Large look and feel of the S90 makes it appealing both in terms of design and comfort. Preparing itself to become the number one among other luxury sedan class vehicles such as the Mercedez Benz S Class and the BMW 7 series, the S90 is all set to hit the US road. S90 would be based on Volvo's Scalable Platform Architecture which is currently used for the production of Volvo XC90. Final production of the S90 would be done in China.



Though the engine specifications were informed as similar to that of the XC90, a Supercharged and Turbocharged 2.0 liter T8 Twin Engine, powering the front wheels and a 79 hp electric motor powering the rear wheels is expected to be installed. Rumours about two diesel variants of the S90 would be powered by four cylinder units badged as D4 and D5.



The Shanghai Motor show 2011 showcased Volvo's large executive sedan from the Volvo Universe Concept, which is now rumoured to be the S90. Design and styling of the S90 is way beyond comparison. A stunning suicide-door concept which creates a distinctive pattern of styling, makes it more elegant and executive. The large sedan scores high in space and comfort. Long wheel-base ensures smoother drive and comfortable in-car experience for the passengers. The seemingly big rear and front portion of the sedan makes it stand head-to-head with its top luxury executive class sedan rivals. Pricing of the new flagship from Volvo has not yet been announced by the company, yet its expected to be fixed according to other executive sedan vehicles in its segment.
