Volvo quickly turn into a fierce competitor with a rich luxury German cars,creating its own identity in the last 6 years that can compete with the best luxury cars on the market. Volvo just launched two new vehicles for the 2017 model year. The S90 will be Volvo’s flagship sedan starting immediately, while the sibling V90 station wagon will join the family next spring. Both vehicles sit on a midsize platform shared with the XC90 SUV, and use the same drive trains.
The S90 is an attractive design, with a strong belt-line running the entire length of the vehicle, and a sleek coupe-style roofline. The car features a short overhang in the front, and a longer overhang under the trunk in the rear. Body cut-lines are sharp, with smoothly shaped regions in between.
Wind tunnel requirements to reduce drag and cabin noise dictate much of the overall shape, as they do with all competing cars, but the S90 was clearly conceived in a Scandinavian design house rather than a German studio. This is not a flashy car. Rather, the S90 presents an understated and elegant appearance.
The S90 is coming to market with two engine options – both are the Drive-E design 2.0-liter four-cylinder. The T5 engine is turbocharged and good for 250 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. The T5 engine reaches max torque at 1,500 rpm and stays there to 5,000. Horsepower rises linearly to 5,600 rpm and then drops off slightly.
