Details on the Volvo S60 Inscription and XC90 R Design
The Volvo S60 Inscription is designed to offer a luxurious driving experience with an extended wheelbase for increased rear seat legroom, making it an ideal choice for those who prioritize comfort. The S60 Inscription also features high-quality materials and advanced technology to enhance the overall driving experience.
On the other hand, the Volvo XC90 R Design is a sportier variant of the popular XC90 SUV. It comes with a more aggressive exterior styling, including unique front and rear bumpers, larger wheels, and sport seats. The R Design trim is aimed at customers who want a more dynamic and engaging driving experience without compromising on the practicality and safety that Volvo is known for.
Both models are expected to come equipped with Volvo’s latest safety features, including City Safety, which can detect pedestrians, cyclists, and large animals, and automatically apply the brakes if a collision is imminent. Additionally, Volvo’s Pilot Assist system, which provides semi-autonomous driving assistance, is likely to be available on these new models.
Volvo’s Future Plans and Innovations
Volvo’s ambitious plan to launch seven new models in the US by 2018 is part of a broader strategy to revitalize its brand and increase its market share. This strategy includes the introduction of new modular chassis technology, which allows for greater flexibility in vehicle design and production. This modular approach not only reduces manufacturing costs but also enables Volvo to quickly adapt to changing market demands.
Furthermore, Volvo is investing heavily in new powertrain architectures, including hybrid and electric options, to meet the growing demand for environmentally friendly vehicles. The company aims to have electric vehicles make up 50% of its global sales by 2025, reflecting its commitment to sustainability and reducing its carbon footprint.
In terms of connectivity, Volvo is at the forefront of integrating advanced technology into its vehicles. The new models are expected to feature Volvo’s Sensus infotainment system, which offers seamless smartphone integration, navigation, and a host of other connected services. This system is designed to keep drivers informed and entertained while minimizing distractions.
