Johnson Controls brings luxury seats to new Volvo S90

“We're very pleased to have had the opportunity to contribute our many years of experience in seating development and manufacturing to the interior design of the Volvo S90. Collaborating closely with the team at Volvo, we designed a seat that optimally utilises the vehicle's interior, providing all occupants with plenty of space and comfort,” said Tony Malila, vice president and general manager at Johnson Controls Automotive Seating.

“The Volvo S90 is a very modern automobile. This is reflected in the equal measure of esteem that every occupant enjoys. The seats also had to meet that standard. The design of the rear seats is closely based on the driver seat, and is in no way inferior in terms of comfort. Since all of the stages of development and integration were in our hands, we were able to create a holistic seating experience, not only through the high quality of the seats, but the optimal use of interior space,” Malila added.

The vehicle seat combines natural materials with sophisticated, intuitive technologies that focus on the driver and the design of the interior. With the support of Johnson Controls, Volvo has created a comprehensive spatial concept.

“In a vehicle's interior, space is the greatest luxury. Volvo Cars recognized this and consciously applied it to the Volvo S90. While the front seats offer the highest degree of comfort, they take up relatively little space, primarily due to their extremely slim backrests. This allowed for plenty of legroom for the rear passengers. Our aim in designing and integrating the rear seat bench was to support Volvo's approach in this area,” Malila concluded. (NA)
