The flagship of the Swedish brand also receives new features, a discreet aesthetic update that brings improvements in equipment. The Volvo S90 2022 will stand out especially for the definitive abandonment of traditional combustion, betting everything on plug-in hybrid technology. Just two PHEV options make up the new offering.
Just as the Volvo S60 has released a package of improvements for this year, and for immediate marketing and without waiting, the flagship has also benefited from them, although with a much more ambitious commitment to efficiency at the highest level. It is well known that Volvo aspires to become an electric car brand before practically any other European. The great proof of this strategy already announced a couple of years ago is that, in the compact segment, it has two zero emission options.
At the opposite extreme, the Swedish flagship stops being sold with traditional combustion enginesso if you are interested in the Volvo S90 2022, it will only be offered only as a plug-in hybrid. PHEV technology takes over Volvo’s largest saloon in all its splendor, something that will not be missed in the main sales markets of the model. The most important ones were barely receiving orders for the B4 and B5 petrol versions, concentrating 93% of orders in the only plug-in hybrid.
The Volvo S90 2022 cuts and limits the range of versions
The S90 is offered exclusively with a combination that offers high performance, both in performance and efficiency. Its about “Recharge T8» that, with its maximum power of 455 hpis capable of homologating CO2 emissions of only 17 g/km, according to the WLTP cycle, and of having a maximum autonomy in electric mode of 89 kilometers. A figure that does not detract at all from being an alternative to its top German competitors.
The Volvo S90 2022 range will be offered in the coming weeks, with three trim levels, the “Core”, “Plus” and “Ultimate”, the most luxurious. They all have a complete list of standard equipment, in which the electric blind for the rear window has been included, while the most complete finish also includes a folding and sliding sunroof, different from the panoramic one that mounts the family model of the V90. Also, only higher trim levels can have the choice of two special outdoor packagesproviding an extra cache and class with certain bright chrome details with the “Bright pack”.
The second option will make the 2022 S90 stand out more with a sportier look, as the decorative inserts in the lower part of the door panels, in the rear bumper, in the front bumper or the radiator grille itself can be darkened with the unique treatment of the “Dark” package. The new prices will be communicated in the coming weeks.
