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. 

The system is good especially looking at the deteriorating air quality in the country. The system filters the cabin air and displays the quality with other information on the infotainment screen. The infotainment system remains the same with an integrated tablet screen running on Android. The update here is with the browsers and Wilkins audio setup. Volvo also included new wireless chargers with Type -C USB ports for the rear passengers.

The S90 hybrid will lock horns directly with BMW 5 Series, Mercedes Benz E Class, Jaguar XF and Audi A6. While the rivals of XC60 are BMW X3, Audi Q5 and Mercedes Benz GLC.
