Volvo pop-up store in Scotland 04 | 04 | 2016
SCOTLAND WILL HOST one of two UK Scandinavian pop-up shops as Volvo unveils its new S90 and V90 (pictured) models to the public this week.
From tomorrow, customers in Silverburn, Glasgow, will be able to relax in a Scandinavian cafe and enjoy traditional Swedish Fika, while experiencing first-hand the look and feel of Volvo’s two new premium cars that will be available in UK dealerships later this year.
The pop-up will be in position until April 17. The other is in The Oracle in Reading.
Joining the S90 and V90 will be the all-new XC90 launched last year – crowned SUV of the Year at the UK Car of the Year Awards in 2016 and Auto Express’s 2015 Car of the Year.

S90
The S90 saloon has already won the accolade of Production Car Design of the Year 2015, voted for by a panel of professional car designers from around the world.
Equipped with a host of new technologies, ranging from cutting-edge safety to cloud-based apps and services, the S90 is further proof of the Swedish brand’s continuing transformation.
The S90 will also come with a clean and powerful T8 Twin Engine plug-in hybrid powertrain and one of the most luxuriously appointed interiors and connected infotainment systems in the large saloon segment. The S90 is on sale now priced at £32,555 for delivery in autumn 2016.
V90
The stylish and versatile V90 estate is the latest in Volvo’s top-of-the-line 90 series models, sitting alongside the award-winning XC90 SUV and S90 saloon.
Building on Volvo’s heritage in the estate segment, the new V90 takes the premium estate a clear step forward in terms of aesthetics, materials and finish, while living up to the ultimately practical nature of any true estate. The V90 is on sale now priced at £34,555 for delivery in autumn 2016.
Both the S90 and V90 come equipped with the intuitive 9-inch touch screen centre console as debuted on the XC90, the same stylish Scandinavian design features as well as an upgraded Pilot Assist programme – a semi-autonomous drive technology that will steer, accelerate and brake the car at speeds of up to 80mph – all fitted as standard.
XC90
The all-new XC90 is a fusion of clean Scandinavian design and luxurious exterior and interior details married with outstanding levels of technology, safety, performance and economy.
It features a relaxing and spacious seven-seat cabin trimmed in high-quality natural materials such as soft leather, Scandinavian wood and crystal glass. The XC90’s central portrait-style touch screen includes pinch, zoom and swipe functionality to control the heating, in-car entertainment, navigation, phone and car set-up.
