Volvo is set to unveil its new S90 sedan at the Detroit Motor show, which will also be available in a plug-in hybrid model.
The Swedish manufacturer is planning to enter the premium saloon market with the release of the S90, which will feature an advanced semi-autonomous drive feature known as ‘Pilot Assist’.
The plug-in hybrid option will come equipped with a T8 Twin Engine powertrain, which combines a T6 2.0L petrol engine with a 65 kW traction motor on the rear axle and a 9.2 kWh Lithium-ion battery pack.
Håkan Samuelsson, President & CEO, Volvo Car Group, said: “With the launch of the XC90, we made a clear statement of intent. We are now clearly and firmly in the game. With $11 USD billion of investment over the past five years, we have not only reimagined what Volvo Cars can be – we are now delivering on our promise of a resurgent and relevant Volvo Cars brand.”
