Volvo has launched a new top-of-the-line variant of the XC90 flagship SUV in India. Christened the XC90 Excellence Lounge Console, the variant is priced at Rs 1.42 crore (ex-showroom, India) and sits above the Excellence variant.

The highlight of the XC90 Excellence Lounge Console is a unique three-seat layout where the front passenger has been replaced by a powered ottoman unit with a leg-rest section, a storage compartment and a 17-inch fold away screen that can be repurposed to be used as a table when needed. Also available is an illuminated vanity mirror that can be stowed away when not required. It continues to get the aircraft like seating for the second row in the Excellence in addition to all the luxury features already available on the Excellence trim like the heated/cooled seats, high-end Bowers and Wilkins sound system, the Orrefors champagne flutes in the cabin, and the refrigerator in the second row.
