Volvo's new V90 station wagon will make its official appearance at the Geneva Motor Show on 1 March 2016. It featuresattractive styling that combines the front half of the S90 sedan with a rear end inspired by the Concept Estate. Volvo is well known for building remarkable wagons and the company says that “the V90 takes the premium estate a step forward in terms of aesthetics, materials and finish, while living up to the practical nature of any true estate".
The V90 is the third model to join the 90 series lineup, following the acclaimed XC90premium SUV and the recently-revealed S90 sedan.It is built on Volvo’s specially-designed and fully modular Scalable Product Architecture (SPA).
The estate will be powered by four-cylinder turbopetrol and turbodiesel engines; the standout version will be T8 Twin Engine hybrid that combines a turbocharged and supercharged 2.0-litre T8 engine with an electric motor producing a combined output of about 300 kW and 640 Nm of torque. The claimed 0-100 kph sprint time is 5.2 seconds with a fuel consumption figure of only 2.1L/100km. The V90 will be able to travel up to 50 km in pure electric mode.
Due to the lack of demand for station wagons in South Africa, the Volvo V90 will sadly not be offered in our market. What a pity…
