Refreshed Volvo S90 Hybrid Debuts with 80km EV Range and Advanced Tech

Abu Dhabi : The S90 is set to launch in China this summer, with other markets to follow later.

Volvo unveils the updated S90 plug-in hybrid with elegant design, new infotainment, 80km electric range, and Pilot Assist, set to arrive in select markets later this year. Without wasting much time, let’s explore how the new Volvo S90 pushes luxury, safety, and electrification forward.

Hybrid Power with Everyday Electric Drive

The S90 comes in two electrified versions:

• Plug-in hybrid: Offers 80km pure electric range under WLTP and added petrol power when needed.
• Mild hybrid: Uses a four-cylinder turbo petrol engine with front-wheel drive for efficient, smooth performance.

Volvo notes that nearly half of the distance covered by its plug-in hybrids globally is electric-only, showing real-world practicality.

Tech and Infotainment Get a Big Boost

Volvo’s new-gen infotainment system is now in the S90, offering faster response and a cleaner interface.

Feature	Description
Infotainment screen	New 11.2-inch free-standing touchscreen
User interface	Human-centric, quicker, safer to use
Software updates	Over-the-air updates for future improvements

These changes ensure the S90 stays fresh and up-to-date even after delivery.

Elegance Meets Scandinavian Simplicity

The new design upgrades add sophistication to the S90’s signature style:

• New sculpted front bumper and bonnet.
• Slim Thor’s Hammer Matrix LED headlights.
• Updated rear with integrated tail lights.
• Bold grille and flowing silhouette.

Two new colours, Aurora Silver and Mulberry Red, join the lineup, along with fresh diamond-cut alloy wheels in raw aluminium and gloss black.

A Luxurious and Comfortable Cabin

Volvo has focused on human-first comfort. Highlights include:

• Premium cabin materials.
• Advanced sound insulation.
• Adaptive suspension as standard.
• Flexible layout with intuitive controls.

These elements bring a relaxing and classy experience for both drivers and passengers.

Pilot Assist and Volvo’s Signature Safety

Volvo keeps safety at the core with these features:

• Pilot assist: Follows traffic, adapts speed, and helps keep the car in-lane.
• Brake to standstill: Great for traffic jams.
• Safety cage: Built for crash protection  

The S90 supports both solo driving and long-distance cruising with confidence and ease.

Launch Timeline and Availability

Volvo says the new S90 will first arrive in China by summer, with other markets, including the UAE, to follow later. The sedan is positioned alongside the upcoming fully electric ES90 to offer full choice to buyers.

The refreshed Volvo S90 blends electric performance, elegant design, advanced safety, and smart tech into a luxury sedan package. With up to 80 km electric-only driving, smarter infotainment, and timeless Scandinavian styling, it stands ready to win over UAE buyers looking for a sleek hybrid alternative in the executive sedan class.
