Volvo V90 is the estate guise of the S90 saloon. The five-seater estate is built on the same Scalable Product Architecture (SPA) platform from Volvo and takes inspiration in terms of design, aesthetics, technology and the premium feel of the S90, packed in a more practical package. The V90 Cross Country adds more ability to the equation, making it one of the most practical luxury barges to grace the tarmac.
The new V90 wears the Volvo’s new design language which includes the trademark “Thor’s Hammer” LED headlight design, the new grille and Volvo Iron Mark and the characteristic rear tail as seen on all the cars in the Volvo family. On the inside, Volvo has carried forward the cabin from the XC90 model and added few more details on the dashboard and instrument panel, including new air blades that stand vertically on each side of the touchscreen infotainment system.
The V90 Cross Country gets larger alloys, peripheral cladding and sits visibly taller than the V90 estate. The added brawn is not just cosmetic. Internationally, the V90 comes with petrol, diesel and plug-in hybrid powertrain. The 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine comes in D3, D4, and D5 state of tune in the turbo-diesel variant. The petrol unit on the other hand gets a T5, T6 and T8 tunes. The top-end T8 Hybrid comes with a combined output of 320bhp and 400Nm via an eight-speed automatic transmission. The Cross Country gets all-wheel drive standard with a torque on demand system to cater to all driving conditions.
When the V90 arrives on the Indian shores, expect Volvo to plonk in the same powertrain found in the S90 sibling. Also you can expect the car to be fully loaded with all the connectivity options and safety features Volvo has to offer. The V90 Cross Country, like all other Volvo cars will come to India via the CBU route but unlike other car makers, we can expect very good pricing for the V90 Cross Country and if it undercuts the XC90, it certainly will be a steal for what it offers.
