Swedish car maker Volvo has just announced that they are now taking bookings for their all new S90 sedan. The car will be available with a range of 4-cylinder petrol and diesel engines at the start to which Volvo will later add a plug-in hybrid as well as a 3-cylinder diesel engine as well. In India, Volvo will begin by launching one of the diesel engines later on in the year and follow it up next year with the second diesel engine as well as the plug-in hybrid, depending on the response to the XC90 plug-in hybrid which will also be launched later on in the year.
The petrol engine S90 may be launched depending on the demand for petrol engine cars in this segment and also India’s policies towards fuels. The two 4-cylinder new all aluminum diesel engines currently available are the D4 and the D5 which have a displacement of 1969cc. While the D4 drives the front wheels through an 8-speed automatic gearbox and produces 190bhp and 400Nm of max torque, the D5 gets a higher state of tune, producing max power of 235bhp and peak torque of 480Nm.
