Volvo Cars’ data shows that nearly half of the distance covered by the latest plug-in hybrid Volvo cars is powered purely by electricity. The S90 is also available in a mild hybrid version, featuring a four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine with front-wheel drive.
The new S90 features a new-generation user interface, which, as previously announced, is coming to the automaker’s total line-up. It’s designed to provide a safe and more responsive infotainment system. The system has a new, larger, free-standing 11.2-in. center and over-the-air software updates.
“The S90 is a key part of our product portfolio for the coming years in some of our Asian markets,” said Erik Severinson, chief product and strategy officer at Volvo Cars. “Together with the new fully electric ES90, the new S90 ensures we have a complete and attractive offering for customers who value safety and want to drive a large, sleek Volvo sedan.”
The new S90 will be available to order for customers in China this summer, with selected other markets following later.

In addition to maintaining a set speed and adapting to slower-moving vehicles, the car can follow the vehicle ahead and brake automatically to a standstill when needed in stop-and-go traffic. Pilot Assist can also support the driver by looking for lane markings and providing gentle steer assist to help keep the car centered in its lane.
