HISTORY历史
The 900 series range was launched in September 1990 as two separate models, though they shared the same basic structure and shape.900系列的射程为1990年9月推出两项型号他们虽然有着相同的基本结构和形状.
The 940 was available with 2.0 and 2.3-litre four-cylinder engines and a six-cylinder 2.4-litre turbo diesel.940可与2.0和2.3公升4缸发动机和6缸2.4公升柴油涡轮. Volvo pitched the 940 models downmarket of the 960 and the engine and trim levels reflected this.沃尔沃定了960和940型号的发动机寒酸、修剪层次反映出来. The 2.5 and 3.0-litre six-cylinder engines, for example, were reserved for the 960.2.5和3.0公升六汽缸引擎,例如保留给了960元. Apart from a small run of 'H' and 'J' registration 2.3-litre turbo estates, the six-cylinder engines powered all 960s.除了小办'八','十'登记2.3公升涡轮屋6缸发动机马力都960s.
In the 940 range, the base model was initially the GL, though this later changed to the S. These cars have a five-speed manual transmission as standard and a four-speed automatic was optional.在940范围内,示范基地初步化验,虽然后来改名为林有五辆高速传输标准手册、四速自动被择. Equipment included power steering, central locking, heated electric mirrors, electric front windows, heated front seats, a four-speaker stereo and a 'ski flap' on the saloons that allowed long objects to project from the boot into the middle of the back seat.装备包括助力转向、中央锁、电动加热镜、电动前窗、加热前座、四、立体议长『滑雪瓣的发廊就可以长到物体从行李箱到项目中后座.

Volvo changed the name of its biggest car early in 1997 but left virtually everything else alone.沃尔沃轿车改名为最大,但早在1997年,几乎一切独自离开. In line with its new policy, the saloon was now known as the ?S90?按照新的政策,现在称为球馆?为什么? while the estate became the (versatile, according to Volvo marketing) ?V90?.而成了地产(多才多艺,根据沃尔沃营销)?v90?.
