Swedish automaker Volvo has introduced a ultimate luxury SUV the new XC90 SUV with a pair of private-jet-like rear captain’s chairs.

The SUV was introduced this week at the 2015 Shanghai Auto Show, the XC90 Excellence Lounge Concept allows rear-seat passengers to have an experience they’re not going to enjoy in any other luxury SUV on the market.

For wealthy customers who feel like taking their kids places, Volvo changed up its 2016 XC90 “Excellence” edition, the four-seat, extended legroom version of its usually seven-passenger XC90 SUV. But instead of a passenger seat up front, there’s a rear-facing, swiveling baby seat.

They started by removing the front passenger seat and then — in its place — installed a what the company calls a “lounge console,” featuring a massive 17-inch multimedia screen that can transform into a large tray table

Volvo wants to eliminate crash-related fatalities in its new cars by 2020, and approaches the problem from several angles.

It’s working hard on autonomous driving tech, with a test program using real customers planned for 2017.
