Power Pulse
With PowerPulse, Volvo Cars has developed an innovative
way of delivering instant turbo response in diesel engines
providing a distinct performance feel.
Animal detection
Collision mitigation for animals is a world first that detects
and automatically brakes for animals both in daylight and in
the dark.
Run-off road mitigation
A new function is introduced with the S90 to prevent
unintentional road departure at vechicle speeds between
65-140 km/h. The system works by using evasive steering
manoeuvres and braking to support the driver in keeping
the car on the road.
In-car delivery
Volvo In-car Delivery saves time and adds convenience by
allowing products to be delivered directly to your car while
you’re doing other things.
