Volvo XC90 Excellence spotted with three-seat layout

- Three-seater ultra-luxury SUV spotted in India

- Front passenger seat replaced with a footrest, retractable screen, fridge with glassware and a retractable tray table

- Likely to get the existing 2.0-litre, four-cylinder turbocharged and supercharged petrol engine   

Volvo XC90 Excellence stood apart from the crowd with ultra-premium luxury features and safety standards. This time around, the Swedish automaker plans to further enhance the luxury quotient with the three-seater XC90 Excellence that is likely to be introduced soon in India. Except for interior changes with more features, the upcoming model will look identical to the regular XC90 Excellence. Interestingly, this could be the first three-seater ultra-luxury SUV in India at the time of its launch.  

Based on what can be seen the front passenger seat has been replaced with a footrest and a retractable screen. The SUV will also get additional convenience features - fridge with glassware and a retractable tray table. A glass partition separates the passenger area from the luggage area. Additional feature list will be known at the time of its official launch.

Mechanically, it is expected to continue being powered by the existing hybrid powertrain in the XC90 Excellence. The 2.0-litre, four-cylinder turbocharged and supercharged petrol engine is paired with an electric motor that generates a powerful 401bhp of power and 640Nm of torque. The eight-speed automatic transmission sends power to all four wheels.
