Just like other Volvos, the V90 is one of the safest cars around
Safety and After Sales Service – Volvo doesn’t have the best spread when it comes to after-sales in India and the automaker is in the process of setting up more and more service centres in various cities. Talking about safety features, you get multiple airbags, inflatable curtains, whiplash protection, ABS with EBD, BA, Traction Control, ESP, Hill Hold, Hill Descent Control, Park Assist, Lane Keeping Aid and a lot more.

If you don’t mind the estate styling, the V90 Cross Country is an excellent buy
Verdict – The Volvo V90 Cross Country is unlike any estate you will see and it offers tons of practicality. What’s more relevant is that it gives you the space of an SUV and dynamics of a sedan, striking a perfect balance for those who want both of these in one single package. This car also breaks away from what traditional wagons are known to be and offers ample amount of luxury with a long list of goodies. Volvo has launched it at a very competitive price making the deal even sweeter.
