Here’s something for the bosses and high-rollers alike. The Volvo XC90 Lounge Console concept has been revealed at the Auto Shanghai 2015 exhibition missing a front passenger seat. In an attempt to one up its XC90 Excellence stablemate, the Lounge Console concept features just three seats in total.
Unfortunately, individuals keen on such a layout will be disappointed to know that the Volvo XC90 Lounge Console remains in the realm of concept cars for now. “Removing the passenger seat enabled us to create an open space that dramatically changes the dynamics of the interior and led to a firework of ideas and new possibilities,” said senior vice president of design at Volvo, Thomas Ingenlath.
In place of the front passenger seat lies a large work table that slides open to reveal an illuminated vanity mirror. Beneath said work table is a storage space for miscellaneous items such as pieces of jewellery, watches and the like. The table itself is capable of rotating 90 degrees to make way for a massive 17-inch screen whereby passengers are treated to “a full in-car theater experience.”
Situated under the cushioned leg rest is a storage compartment for an additional pair of shoes while Volvo has also provided a lockable storage box for more valuable items. “People who are on the move and have a hectic lifestyle… need some space, some luxury time to relax and refresh themselves. This is ultimately what the Lounge Console is designed to facilitate,” adds Ingenlath.

Wow, Volvo aiming to become a luxury car maker with the likes of Bentley or RR by the looks of it.
You must be crazy, this is low RV car, no value just like your Myvi
Toyota Lexus please buckle up, you cannot get those things in RX or NX.
Volvo is lightyears in front.
Real Volvo is lightyears in front of “Volvo of Asia”
Business class in a car. OMFG
Its not going to happen..
If the oligarchs wishes to roll high in extreme opulence, they are better or in a rrange rover tweaked by holland n holland, or wait for the upcoming bentayga
what is this??
Luxury Crampy Car?
Told you already, now they admitted it.
Read my previous comment on the ‘pseudo-luxury’ 4-seater XC90.
You sacrificed 3rd row for ??
In normal Chinese trend, they should come out with long wheelbase version too.
Kinda cool come to think of it. A solid alternate to Range Rover, mmm.
wow.. designed by Hippo Ma for Hippo Ma??? generous compartments for her cincin, watches, etc..
This is call innovative…proton will never get it…I will seriously consider this if I can afford, my wife will love it :)
If p1 cannot do, ask p2 to do, lol
once she sit at the back, she’ll be your boss
Shut up & take my money…!
Where is the airbag?
All this design only for 1 Person?
What a waste of precious space…for that price, I could get an Alphard with captain seats that will allow me to do the same AND fit in more passengers
Why compare this with a low class metal van?
Volvo is for professional like Dr and Lawyer, Alphard is for Loan Shark and Bak Kut Teh stall owner :)
wake up my friend..
please talk on the same wave length. Keep ‘The Van’ idea away from this thread.
pity the poor soul driving if their passenger has a terrible foot odor issue.
LOLZ
If I were to buy this car, I need to hire a driver as well. Otherwise doesn’t make sense. I don;t want to drive my wife like that.
I share your thought !
