Volvo PH welcomes 90 Series models with gala

There’s a new adjective Swedish carmaker Volvo wants to attach to its vehicles aside from “safe,” and that is “elegant.” This was evident at the launch of the brand’s 90 Series models held last week at Shangri-La at the Fort: the S90 sedan and the XC90 SUV.

Hosted by musical theater actor Menchu Lauchengco-Yulo, the event featured a “feast for the senses,” a five-course dinner meant to celebrate the flavors of Sweden. The party also showcased the talents of such artists as Nicole Asensio, Kettle Mata, Daryl Ong, Opus One, Manila String Machine and Triple Fret. The evening was aptly billed as “Volvo’s Magnum Opus.”
