Volvo XC90 Excellence revealed ahead of China debut

Volvo has revealed a special version of its second
generation of its XC90 SUV, online ahead of its
China debut. Dubbed the Excellence, the version
of the XC90 gets mostly cosmetic changes as
well as an extended feature list over the standard
vehicle.
Externally, the XC90 Excellence is virtually the
same as the standard car save for some chrome
trim around the B-pillar and C-pillar. There does
not even appear to be any kind of extra badging
to differentiate the Excellence model and the
standard car.
Inside, the biggest change is that Volvo has fitted
the rear with a two-seat configuration as
compared to the standard XC90’s five-seat
design. They also get extended legroom,
massaging and ventilation function, retractable
touchscreens, folding tables, cup holders with
temperature function, fridge and handmade
Swedish crystal glasses.
To further add to the luxury experience, Volvo has
increased the quality of noise insulation and has
also fitted the car with Pirelli’s noise cancelling
tyres. Oh and before we forget, Volvo has also
given the XC90 Excellence a 19-speaker Bowers
and Willkins system, ambient lighting and leather
interiors.
The XC90 Excellence will make its debut at the
Auto Shanghai 2015 in China next week and will
go on sale in specific markets by late 2015. We
believe that Volvo will bring a limited number of
XC90 Excellence to the Indian market when it
launches the SUV later this year.
