Volvo’s iconic SUV is technologically updated both outside and inside. It is a premium seven-seater that stands out for its comfort, it is one of the safest vehicles on the road and, in the plug-in hybrid version, it is an exceptional electric vehicle with a backup plan, offering more than 70 kilometers of all-electric autonomy on a single charge in the WLTP test cycle. For this reason, displacements lack exhaust emissions in this version.
The XC90 has more power when you need it: for longer journeys, the hybrid engine is combined with an efficient gasoline engine to extend your range by more than 800 km. You can also opt for the full combined power of the gasoline and electric motor for constant all-wheel drive or off-road driving.
A new, more contemporary exterior design reinforces the confidence that the XC90 conveys. It also shows the continued transition towards full electrification and incorporates newer, fully electric elements. However, it can be said that the most important novelty is inside. A renewed interior improves functionality and integrates the latest user experience into the XC90, for example that of the new EX90 and EX30 electric vehicles. A larger central touchscreen with higher resolution enhances the user experience and opens up a world of new features, apps and, of course, regular over-the-air software updates.
In addition to the new range of fully electric vehicles, the XC90 T8 plug-in hybrid remains a popular choice among the brand’s customers and an important vehicle in terms of sales and profitability. Together with fully electric models, plug-in hybrid vehicles like the XC90 and its siblings form an exciting and balanced global product portfolio for Volvo Cars, and provide a solid bridge to a fully electrified future.
This balance between fully electric hybrids and plug-in hybrids is the right range for today’s market, as the premium all-electric market is still developing in several key markets. Plug-in vehicles remain critical to plans to increase sales and profits in the coming years.
Like other Volvos, the XC90 is one of the safest vehicles out there. It is equipped with an advanced safety cage, as well as a full suite of active safety features to help keep road users safe. Using radar and a front-facing camera, the XC90 can detect if you have drifted into the oncoming lane and safely return you to your lane to avoid the risk of a collision. Additionally, you can use braking and steering to help avoid collisions with other vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, and large animals.
Driving in the XC90 improves, with seat comfort and improved suspension as standard. Each individual shock absorber can now mechanically adapt to road conditions to optimize both comfort and stability, for a safer and more relaxed driving experience. And if you want to go faster, the optional air suspension works together with an active chassis that monitors the vehicle, the road and the driver 500 times per second for the most comfortable ride possible.
Depending on whether easy entry/exit access, better aerodynamics at speed or extra ride height for rough terrain is desired, an air-suspended XC90 can be lowered by 20mm or raised by 40mm. Additionally, additional insulation has been added to certain parts of the vehicle, meaning there is even less wind and road noise.
The refreshed interior includes a redesigned front cabin with a more horizontal dashboard shape, with decorative panels made from recycled materials for a more textured finish and is divided by new vertical air diffusers. Improved lighting contributes to an even more luxurious feel at night.
The cabin has also been reconfigured to make it more practical in response to feedback from current XC90 owners. Designers have created additional storage space in the center console, with an additional cupholder, and the wireless phone charger has been located behind the center bulkhead console, separate from the main storage area, for added convenience.
There is also a choice between two mild-hybrid petrol variants. Both the B5 and B6 are aided by a 48V lithium-ion battery and an integrated starter motor and generator that can help reduce emissions and fuel consumption by up to 15% in real-world driving conditions. .
