The all-new Volvo XC90 is set to be released, and is the new upgrade to the highly successful 1st generation vehicle, which has received more than 110 international awards and become Sweden’s most valuable export product since being released back in 2002!
The XC90 has become renowned for being a great choice for families, as a result of Volvo’s maintained focus on safety. This has not changed in the new model, as Volvo builds upon the strengths of the original XC90, offering class-leading safety features, impressive technology and high quality interior and exterior styling.
Best in Scandinavian luxury
The use of fine, handcrafted materials make for a harmonious and relaxing feel in the new XC90. The car feels luxurious, as great attention to detail has been made throughout the design process. Wood is real wood, and carbon fibre is carbon fibre. Nothing has been spared when considering passenger comfort and style.
Leadership in the safety area
The new XC90 boasts a World First in car safety, by offering City Safety, collision avoidance functionality. The combination of radar technology with an in-car camera unit can not only detect other vehicles, but also cyclists and even pedestrians, and is active at all speeds up to 31mph, during the day and even in the dark. This vastly reduces the risk of collision.
On top of this, the XC90 offers automatic braking, which adapts to circumstances, and will detect if there are any barriers in your way.
These safety features see Volvo making the first step towards self-driving cars, as the safety features make the car semi-autonomous in that it steps in to help save you.
Top of the range in-car entertainment
Sensus Connect with Premium Sound by Bowers & Wilkins is one of the best audio systems on the market, and this combined with the newly designed and extremely thin sub-woofer (integrated in the architecture of the car), enables extremely low bass tones down to 20 Hz, and thus a sound quality similar to that of a movie theatre.
Apple CarPlay also makes it easy to integrate your iPhone and access all of your favourite apps from the large central touch screen.
Park assist
Park assist sensors make parking extremely easy and can steer the car into parallel and perpendicular parking spaces (and out of parallel spaces). On top of this, the new XC90 also offers a 360° Surround View Parking Camera. With this option (standard on First Edition), the driver can see a birds-eye view of the car’s surroundings around a virtual picture of the car on the centre screen.
Great driving experience
Volvo’s range of four-cylinder engines have the following features:
- Lightweight, contributing to lower fuel consumption, better driving dynamics and more agile cornering
- Balancer shafts for smooth and vibration free running
- Turbocharging for better performance
- Direct injection with high pressure, also for the petrol engines
- Variable valve timing for the petrol engines contributing to higher performance and instant throttle response
