Design and features Updates

The Volvo S90 now gets redesigned bumpers with sequential turn signals and updated fog lamps. While the SUV, Volvo XC60 has a new grille and bumper making the car look even bolder. Adding to the features now both the cars have Advanced Air Cleaner, which was earlier a china specific feature.
