Volvo XC90

Introduced as Volvo's first SUV back in 2002, the XC90 has been a resounding success. Utilising all of the traditional safety and comfort values for which Volvo is well known, and then adding more room in the shape of a versatile SUV, Volvo has created an instant success with consumers worldwide. Powered by a 3.2L inline 6 cylinder engine producing 235 horsepower matched to a new 6 speed automatic transmission, the XC90 is no slouch on the road. However, this vehicle aims for safety and comfort, rather than sportiness. The XC90 has plenty of interior space with comfortable seating for seven and third row seats that fold away into the floor (third row seats are an option on the 3.2L model). Both rear seats and front passenger seat fold flat to enable carrying of long loads. The XC90 has been designed from the ground up with safety in mind and has received maximum safety scores during crash testing in Europe. The all wheel drive system normally operates in front wheel drive mode but uses an electronically controlled Haldex clutch to deliver power to rear wheels when wheelspin is detected. With supremely comfortable seats, cosseting ride and excellent refinement, the Volvo XC90 is a class leading luxury SUV.
