Volvo has taken the wraps off the luxurious XC90 Excellence, which will make its public debut at Auto Shanghai 2015 next week in China.
Crafted to offer customers a distinct and individual automotive experience, the XC90 Excellence is based on the all-new XC90 sports utility vehicle, but the similarity ends there. It has just four seats compared to the original’s seven, creating an enormous amount of additional space for rear seat passengers that helps to deliver an exceptional customer experience.
This space is utilised to offer a first class automotive experience that begins with broad, spacious individual reclining rear seats complete with massage, ventilation and increased leg room, as well as a retractable control touchscreen, folding tables, a refrigerator with bottle and glass holders, a heating/cooling cup holder and handmade crystal glasses from leading Swedish glass design company, Orrefors.
The XC90 Excellence offers its passengers footrests, ambient lighting, illuminated storage and unique leather detailing in blond or charcoal, a luggage compartment dividing screen, additional sound insulation in the cabin and Pirelli Noise Cancelling system tires.
Passengers will also enjoy a specially-augmented Bowers & Wilkins audio system that adds an extra speaker to its 19-speaker system, resulting in unrivalled high fidelity sound reproduction and surround effect in the rear seats.
Reinforcing the Swedish love of fresh air, the XC90 Excellence also comes with an integrated ionic air cleaner in the CleanZone climate system. The ionic air cleaner works by positively charging electrons in airborne particles (dust or smoke for example) so they are removed from suspension in the cabin environment.
The XC90 Excellence also offers a leather instrument panel with contrasting thread, while the headliner of the cabin is colour coordinated pure Nubuck textile. Exterior styling differentiators including an Excellence rank mark, chrome B- and C-pillar cappings and lower door mouldings.
The XC90 Excellence will be available globally later this year and via digital commerce in selected markets.
