Volvo Releases the Swedish Beasts: 2017 V90 and S90 Are Available For Order

The new Volvo S90 and V90 are already available for order. Both models are offered with brand's all-new Scalable Product Architecture (SPA) and the new lineup of Drive-E engines. Furthermore, both models will be available with a choice of two 2.0-liter four-cylinder diesel power units: the efficient D4 and the agile D5 PowerPulse.

The first one provides a total of 190hp (139kW) and is paired to an 8-speed automatic gearbox. On the combined cycle it consumes a total of 64.2mpg and has 116g/km of CO2 emissions. The second engine, the D5, offers 235hp (172kW) and brings the PowerPulse technology. It uses compressed air that is stored in a tank in the engine bay to boost the turbo at low revs. This helps to reduce the turbo lag and pushes a bit the overall performance rates of the vehicle. Long story short, this one is for the sporty drivers out there.
