Garage Preview: Volvo S90, The Brand's New Flagship

 

 



 

The brand's new flagship, the S90, which replaces the S80 is slated to make its world-debut in January at the North American International Auto Show. The vehicle will be powered by a T8 twin engine plug-in hybrid powertrain.

The S90 also introduces a world first function to City Safety - large animal detection - a system capable of detecting large animals such as elk, horses or moose, night or day. The technology offers an intuitive warning and brake support to help avoid a collision.

And the S90 will be equipped with an advanced semi-autonomous drive feature, Pilot Assist. The system gives gentle steering inputs to keep the car properly aligned within lane markings.

The vehicle will compete with the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, Lexus GS and BMW 5-Series.
