The Volvo S80 and XC90 Executive models both receive new features for the 2009 Model Year to reinforce and add to their luxury appeal. These models are available to order imminently, with prices to be confirmed ahead of the start of production in May. A new unique combination of relaxing massage and ventilation functions in the front seats will make journeys even more soothing, while a range of enhanced materials and trim details add to the high quality of the cars.

These two Volvo Executive models have been created for customers who want to relax after a demanding day at work or want to get to work alert to tackle the day ahead. These cars are also often used for employment purposes and this imposes extra demands on comfort, aesthetics and materials. 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.
