Volvo refreshes S90 and makes mild-hybrid powertrain standard

MANILA: Volvo has taken the covers off an updated version of the S90 and shows how big of a step it has made towards emission reduction and better fuel economy while also giving the model exterior refinements and updated interior appointments.

The S90 gets new foglights, a new spoiler design, plus a new lower front bumper. Rear lighting elements have been redesigned to include a full LED-powered signature and a sequential turn indicator.

It now gets a Bowers & Wilkins audio system with an upgraded amplifier, and automatic vehicle noise cancellation that mimics the inside of a jazz club.

Volvo also gave it an Advanced Air Cleaner with a PM 2.5 particle sensor, which has already been available in the Chinese market. It allows drivers to monitor interior air quality via the center screen and also clean the cabin air of almost all tiny particles within a few minutes.

All models in the 90 series now also come with double USB-C charging points in the rear, replacing the 12-volt outlet.

In terms of interior materials, the exclusively tailored wool-blend seats introduced on the XC90 last year are now also available on all 90 and 60 models, while there is also a leather-free interior option for the top trim levels.

But perhaps in the boldest move yet, Volvo Cars has given the S90 a 48-volt mild-hybrid powertrain options. This system offers up to 15 per cent fuel savings and emission reductions in real-world driving. The brake-by-wire system interacts with the energy recovery system and reduces fuel consumption and emissions by recovering kinetic energy under braking.
