Volvo's main buyers have changed in the past few years with the transformation of its product range, from safety and value for money to dynamic fashion. The Swedish car manufacturer has created a very cool Scandinavian style for their product line (though not all of them are made there yet). Their high technologies for electrification include plug-in, mild hybrid and pure electric models.
The Swedish horse I particularly like is the V90 Recharge plug-in hybrid in the R-Design specification. Essentially, this means that the traditionally spacious Volvo Manor has a distinct Scandinavian vibe. Despite the popularity of SUVs, there is still demand for Volvo Estates for good reasons. These are trucks, not in the same alliance with the old square-box Volvo, but they are still impressive, and they are also full of luxury goods.
The standard fare for all V90 models includes automatic dimming mirrors, automatic lights, high beam assist, automatic wipers, keyless start, cruise, electric and electric folding door mirrors, leather, heated front with electric adjustment and lumbar support Rows of seats, heated wiper blades, dual-zone climate control, just as you would expect from Volvo, there are a large number of standard safety kits.
Prices start at 50,552 Euros/42,995 pounds, and my test model Recharge plug-in hybrid R-Design starts at 67,636 Euros/57,525 pounds. Options include excellent power glass tilt and sliding panoramic sunroof, cornering lighting, heated rear seats, heated steering wheel and windshield, memory passenger seat, Bowers & Wilkins sound system, adaptive dampers and air suspension, parking camera And retractable tow bar. This pushed the price to a non-negligible level of 78,392 euros/66,675 pounds.
Power comes from a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive suitable for any weather. With the increase in power, the V90 passed the benchmark 100kph/62mph in just 5.9 seconds. In pure electric mode, Volvo can drive you up to 52 miles, enough for commuting.
The smooth shifting and excellent refinement give the V90 a calm and unhurried atmosphere. It is a car that you feel can take you from one end of the country to the other without feeling tired or painful in any way. The interior is modern and simple, but at the same time it has the look and feel of a luxury car. This is an objective course on how interior design looks so elegant but still practical.
If you haven't gathered yet, I like Volvo, especially this one.
The tested model is British specification and equipment level, the price in other markets may be different.
