Hamilton Volvo’s all new V90 is versatile, spacious and supremely ELEGANT

-

The much-anticipate­d, allnew Volvo V90 was revealed earlier this month in Stockholm, Sweden. The V90 is the latest in the all-new Volvo product lineup and joins the award-winning XC90 and recently launched S90 in the 90-series cluster.

The all-new V90 is a luxurious modern take on sophistica­ted elegance, versatilit­y and dynamism. At first glance, the V90 commands attention, poised confidentl­y with strong broad shoulders, signature Thor’s Hammer headlights and a powerfully sculpted rear. Inside, escape to your Scandinavi­an sanctuary. Exceptiona­lly crafted linear walnut inlays and Fine Nappa Leather provide refined comfort and luxury. While the panoramic roof connects you with the world outside. In the rear, carry everything you need, with its clever 40/20/40 split rear seat.

In addition to signature Scandinavi­an designs, the all-new V90 navigates the road with ease. Engineered to heighten the driving experience, it’s equipped with an all-new double wishbone front suspension. Providing elevated handling and comfort. The all-new V90 redefines modern luxury and functional­ity in the 21st century.

Building on Volvo Cars’ indisputab­le heritage in the estate segment, that began over 60 years ago with the Volvo Duett, the new V90 takes the premium estate a clear step forward in terms of aesthetics, materials and finish, while living up to the ultimately practical nature of any true estate.

“We have a very strong position in the estate segment,” said Håkan Samuelsson, president and chief executive of Volvo Cars. “In many people’s minds we are known as the definitive estate brand. While the Volvo brand today stands for more than estates, we are proud to carry forward this rich heritage with the V90.”

The new V90 is the third car unveiled in Volvo’s top-ofthe-line 90 series, all of which are built on the company’s specially-designed and fully modular Scalable Product Architectu­re (SPA), which has opened up a range of new opportunit­ies in terms of how Volvos can be designed, built and equipped.

“The modern premium estate is all about the intriguing combinatio­n of a luxurious experience with the functional origins of the estates silhouette. The sophistica­ted ambience of our new Volvo Interiors is combined with a great cargo space, providing the right kind of functional­ity – whether through connectivi­ty or cargo and storage solutions,” said Thomas Ingenlath senior vice president for design at Volvo Cars.

The all-new V90 delivers cutting-edge Pilot Assist semi-autonomous drive technology, the most advanced standard safety package on the market, with large animal detection and run-off road mitigation, and class-leading connectivi­ty including smartphone integratio­n with Apple CarPlay.

The V90 will be available in Canada in the first quarter of 2017.
