Swedish maker Volvo has given the Volvo S80 and XC90 Executive new features for the 2009 model year.
These models are available to order imminently with the best car leasing deals on the web at www.contracthireandleasing.com
The S80 and XC90 Executive get a combination of relaxing massage and ventilation functions in the front seats to make journeys even more soothing, while a range of enhanced materials and trim details add to the high quality of the cars.
The new massage function consists of five inflatable pockets which have been built into the front seats and are pumped up and drained sequentially to create a wave-like motion (adjustable at two levels) that massages the lower back and wafts away feelings of tiredness and stiffness on long journeys. Together with the built-in ventilation, the new massage function keeps the occupant’s body and clothing pleasantly fresh, while the inflatable cushions also double up as a new lumbar support.
The engine choices in the Volvo S80 and XC90 Executive offer a wide range of powerful and energy-efficient powerplants that provide a refined driving experience. There is a powerful V8 engine, and Volvo’s high-efficiency in-line six-cylinder 3.2 litre petrol engine.
All the engines are mated to a six-speed Geartronic transmission. The Volvo S80 Executive V8 engine is also available with Volvo’s AWD (All-Wheel Drive) featuring Instant Traction for extra comfort, driving pleasure and safety. The Volvo XC90 Executive features four-wheel drive as standard.
