<\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\nOn the\nvisual side, there are new bumpers on either end, with design elements that aim\nto emphasise the width of the cars on the road. Further, they lend an air of\nstability and assuredness on the road, though fans of the originals will find\nthe new designs rather fussy. Notably, the rear bumpers on the S90 & V90\nboth omit any visible exhaust exits \u2013 a sign of fully-electrified options to\ncome?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are\nalso new taillights on both the S90 & V90, both of which now feature illumination\nsequences when locking & unlocking, as well as scrolling indicators, though\nthose are only at the rear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\nInside,\nthere are now wider upholstery options to choose from, with all variants of\nboth the saloon & estate offered a non-leather option that makes use of\nhigh-quality wool and textiles. This strategy was first seen with the XC90 \u2018Recharge,\u2019 which debuted\nlast year (both internationally and in our market), and appears to now be\nmoving across the lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The amazing\nBowers & Wilkins audio system continues to feature here, though calling it\na carry over would do it a disservice: B&W has engineered an all-new system\nfor the new S90 & V90, offering improved dynamic bass, as well as a new setting\nthat mimics the acoustics of your favourite jazz club. The B&W audio\nsystems available in the 60 & 90 Series Volvos were already among the very\nbest available in the automotive industry, so we\u2019re keen to experience just how\nmuch better this \u2018all-new\u2019 system really is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.malaysianmotoring.com\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/2020-Volvo-S90-V90-Recharged-International-Launch-04-2020.02.21-1030x579.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nGoing back\nto the nearly-imperceptible changes, the new S90 & V90 now offer an\nAdvanced Air Cleaner with PM2.5 particulate sensors, a change that was first\ndriven in China and is now being rolled out across the world. Thanks to this\nnew air filtration standard, Volvo can now confidently claim that their interiors\nare among the freshest and cleanest environments to be in air-wise, building\nupon the \u2018CleanZone\u2019 technology that we\u2019ve already gotten used to in their\nexisting range of vehicles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For better\nor for worse, Volvo has also taken the opportunity to announce that with the\nnew S90 & V90, the company will now also exclusively offer USB-C charging\nports in the rear, replacing the traditional 12V sockets, in all their 90 &\n60 Series models. As someone without a USB-C to USB-C cable, this is a massive\nannoyance, though this writer understands that they are becoming more and more\nprevalent as time progresses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volvo is\nvery proud that with the \u2018Recharged\u2019 S90 and V90, they are forwarding their\nintent to offer the broadest and most comprehensive range of electrified\npremium vehicles in the industry, with \u2018an electrified Volvo model for\neveryone.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIt is\nunclear when the new S90 & V90 will make their way to Malaysia (if at all for\nthe latter, though we can hope), but based on the remarks made by the Director\nof PR & Marketing at Volvo Car Malaysia, Mr. Akhtar Sulaiman, during the\ncompany\u2019s 2019 \u2018performance review,\u2019 we can expect it to arrive on our shores\nwithin this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So what do\nyou think of the \u2018Recharged\u2019 Volvo S90 & V90? Do you think that the design\nhas improved with time, or are you of the mind that they shouldn\u2019t have tried\nto fix what was clearly not broken? Let us know in the comments below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
