Volvo puts price tags on its new models

September arrivals

- Exciting newcomers

Volvo’s new S90 saloon and V90 estate models will cost from £32,555 and £34,555 when they arrive in the UK in September.

Like the XC90 off-roader before them, the newcomers feature the new face of Volvo, including the Swedish brand’s T-shaped LED headlights, and are powered by the efficient Drive-E engines.

Both models will initially be available with a choice of two 2.0- litre, four- cylinder diesel engines – the tax-efficient D4 and the refined D5 PowerPulse – and in two trim levels, Momentum and Inscriptio­n.

The front-wheel-drive 190bhp D4 comes with an eight-speed automatic gearbox and offers combined fuel consumptio­n of 64.2 mpg and CO2 emissions of 116g/km in the S90. In the V90, the correspond­ing figures are 62.8 mpg and 119g/km.

Developing a hefty 235bhp, D5 PowerPulse uses compressed air to boost the turbo at low revs, and also comes with all-wheel drive.

Volvo says every version of the S90 and V90 will be luxuriousl­y equipped, even entry grade variants including the likes of leather upholstery, LED headlights, two- zone climate control air- filtration, keyless engine starting and heated front seats.

Volvo’s Sensus infotainme­nt system is also standard - bringing a nine- inch touchscree­n, satnav), voice-control plus access to the internet and cloud-based apps, and there’s also a powered bootlid/tailgate.

Pilot Assist, Volvo’s semiautono­mous drive feature, is standard on every S90 and V90 along with the latest version of City Safety.Moving up to Inscriptio­n adds stuff like soft leather upholstery.
