Volvo adds Abbey Road Studios sound mode to EX90

Volvo is rolling out a new Abbey Road Studios Mode to its EX90 electric SUV, offering drivers the ability to recreate the acoustics of the famous London recording studio where acts such as The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Oasis and Massive Attack laid down some of their finest work. Available to owners with the optional Bowers & Wilkins High Fidelity audio system fitted to their vehicles, the feature will be delivered free of charge via an over-the-air software update in the coming weeks. Developed in collaboration with Bowers & Wilkins and Abbey Road Studios, the mode uses sound profiles inspired by the studio's acoustics and mixing equipment. These include a "Producer Mode" that allows users to adjust the stereo sound stage, tonal quality and overall ambience, much like an audio engineer would behind a mixing desk. 'We are hugely proud of the collaboration, and excited for Volvo customers to experience the landmark technology,' said Abbey Road general manager Jeremy Huffelmann. The 1610-watt Bowers & Wilkins system in the EX90 includes 25 speakers and supports Dolby Atmos playback. The system was developed jointly by Volvo's in-house engineers and Bowers & Wilkins' tuning team. Volvo said the new sound mode will also be fitted as standard to future EX90 and ES90 models equipped with the Bowers & Wilkins system.

Reigning champion Iga Swiatek sets up French Open semi clash with Aryna Sabalenka

Swiatek through to semis Poland's Iga Swiatek celebrates after winning against Ukraine's Elina Svitolina during their quarter-final women's singles match on day 10 of the French Open tennis tournament on Court Philippe-Chatrier at the Roland-Garros Complex in Paris on Tuesday. Photo: Julien de Rosa/AFP Image: Julien de Rosa/AFP Triple-defending champion Iga Swiatek set up a salivating French Open semi-final against world number one Aryna Sabalenka after marching past Elina Svitolina in the last eight on Tuesday. Swiatek bested 13th seed Svitolina 6-1, 7-5 in just over 90 minutes on Court Philippe Chatrier to continue her bid to equal a 102-year record by winning four successive French Open titles. The Polish fifth seed will face Sabalenka in the semi-finals after the Belarusian earlier eliminated Olympic champion Zheng Qinwen in straight sets. "Aryna is always a challenge, she has a game for every surface. I need to focus on myself, do the work and just go for it," said Swiatek.

Advertisement Next Stay Close ✕ Ad loading The former world number one has struggled for consistency since winning the clay-court treble of Madrid, Rome and Roland Garros in 2024, but can fall back on positive memories of playing and beating Sabalenka on the red dirt. "I don't know if she (Sabalenka) elevates my game. Against every player, we play different way, so it's hard to compare. But for sure our rivalry is pushing both of us," said Swiatek. The rivals have never met at Roland Garros, but Swiatek emerged the victor in their last two meetings on clay -- in the finals of the Madrid and Italian Opens last season. "It's going to be a tough match but I'm happy for the challenge," the 24-year-old added. After starting sluggishly in her fourth-round win over former Wimbledon winner Elena Rybakina, where Swiatek found herself 6-1, 2-0 down before kicking into gear, she hit the ground running on Tuesday. Swiatek broke Svitolina's serve in the fourth game to take a 3-1 lead, before outlasting her opponent in two lengthy, tightly-contested games to consolidate her advantage. The five-time Grand Slam winner then served out the opener to 15 on a gusty centre court in Paris. The pair exchanged consecutive breaks of serve early in the second set, but neither could seize the advantage until Swiatek forced the breakthrough at 5-5 with a powerful forehand down the line. Swiatek showed her killer instinct by holding again to 15 and sealing the win with back-to-back aces. "I knew it's going to be a tough match, and it was. You know, even though first set, the score looks pretty straightforward, it wasn't like that in any other games... I had to fight for every point," said Swiatek. "I'm happy that I also stepped up when she broke me in the second set and that I kept my intensity until the end." Defeat for Svitolina means the 30-year-old Ukrainian has never progressed further than the quarter-finals at the French Open despite having reached the last-eight stage five times in her career.
