The 2016 Geneva Motor Show will see the European arrival of Volvo’s most luxurious model in its 89-year history – the XC90 Excellence. Based on the latest generation of the carmaker’s popular SUV, the Excellence features extended leather-covered surfacing, finest-quality upholstery and hand-crafted crystal glasses from Orrefors, the famous Swedish glass maker.
The superior comfort of the individual and adjustable rear seats, combined with a massage function and specially designed headrests, is further augmented with a refrigerator, two folding tables and cup holders with both heating and cooling options.
The XC90 Excellence is built on Volvo’s modular Scalable Product Architecture (SPA) and comes with the award-winning T8 Twin Engine plug-in hybrid powertrain as standard, offering three distinct driving modes in one car – Pure, Hybrid and Power. This means the XC90 Excellence can provide up to 410 hp combined with impressively low emissions.
Specifically for this variant, the cabin enjoys the cocooning effect of additional sound insulation, enhanced Bowers & Wilkins sound system and convenience of rear-seat controls to take the XC90 Excellence to a new level of luxurious calm and comfort.
The XC90 Excellence is now exclusively available for ordering online in selected markets, reflecting the growing importance of digital commerce in Volvo’s sales and marketing strategy.
Online sales for the XC90 Excellence have now started in Switzerland, France, Belgium and Luxembourg, while China will be added later this spring. It will become available for ordering at Volvo dealerships in other markets later this year, including in the United States.
