![]() ![]() Volvo says the front structure incorporates a host of safety features, for instance, enhanced head-on impact protection by preventing the colliding objects from penetrating the vehicle, while also eliminating fire risks and ensure driver’s knee protection. The silhouette of the 9900 is aerodynamically fashioned, with a not-so-heavy looking top and suave edges. The front and rear fascia also draws styling cues from the vibrant ‘Z’ theme, including the Volvo FMX-inspired headlamp DRLs, angled rear windscreen, slender tail lamps, and horizontal air outlets from the engine compartment. The Z-shape detailing follows the alignment of the theatre-style floor inside the coach – an upward sloping layout from front to rear that offers all passengers a better forward view over those sitting in front of them. Each section of the window pane is of different size and shape, while also rendering the side profile a dynamic impression of forward movement. One distinctive trait that sets this coach apart from the rest of the 9000s and their rivals is its Z-shaped window line. Let me put my account of Volvo 9900’s design and styling in perspective before I lay out my driving experiences. The marvel of our land – Volvo 9400 – was not even kind of close to the serenity of its high-class European sibling, frankly speaking! The visual impression emanating from the coach was nothing compared to what I could recollect from those numerous online visuals I must have binged on since its launch. For a person who grew up watching magnificent automobiles, Volvo Buses have always inspired me with awe and reverence the 9000 coach range, in particular, is the connoisseur of my bus world! ![]() “Yes, it is happening”, I assured my anxious self. As I walked down the Boulevard facing the landmark building ‘Atomium’ in the city of Brussels where the demo vehicle was parked, the stunning looks of the 9900 was simply mesmerizing. When Volvo Buses told us that its latest ‘top-spec’ premium coach is up for test drives, I thought to myself, “hell, no way!”. In this exclusive, I bring you an account of my remarkable encounter with this beauty in the streets of Brussels, Belgium. It is fashioned in such a way that it radiates a sense of elegance and cozy attitude, with no arrogance or callousness whatsoever, despite being one of the most beasty machines in its class. The fourth-generation Volvo 9900 premium coach was born out of a mission to offer the European market the ultimate coach experience etched by luxury and safety in all aspects. ![]()
