All-New XC90

After months of speculation, Volvo Cars unveiled its all-new XC90 on August 26, delivering on its promise to introduce a visually striking, premium quality seven-seat SUV with world leading safety features, new powertrain technologies, an unrivaled combination of power and fuel efficiency, and a superlative interior finish.

Three years in the making and part of an $11 billion investment program, the new XC90 marks the beginning of a new chapter in Volvo's history, capturing its future design direction, incorporating its own range of new technologies and utilising its new Scalable Product Architecture (SPA) technology.

"This is one of the most important days in our history," said Haken Samuelsson, President and CEO of Volvo Car Group. "We are not just launching a car, but re-launching our brand. This day marks a new era for our company. The XC90 paves the way for a portfolio of exciting new cars to come in the following years."

First SUV without compromises The new XC90 will be the first Volvo to carry the company's new more prominent iron mark, which has the iconic arrow elegantly aligned with the diagonal slash across the grille. Together with the T-shaped "Thor's Hammer" DRL lights, the iron mark introduces an entirely new, distinctive and confident face for Volvo's forthcoming generation of cars. The XC90 is firm evidence of the Volvo-by-Volvo strategy. Its outstanding combination of luxury, space, versatility, efficiency and safety will bring the SUV segment into a new dimension, just as the original XC90 achieved in 2002.

Unrivalled combination of power and fuel efficiency The new XC90 offers a range of two-liter, four-cylinder Drive E powertrains, all of which provide an outstanding combination of performance and fuel-efficiency. The top of the range XC90 Twin Engine, which combines a two-liter, four-cylinder supercharged and turbocharged gasoline engine with an electric motor, offers an unrivalled combination of power and clean operation - around 400 horsepower with carbon dioxide (CO2) emmissions of around 60 g/km. Drive-E powertrains come with distinct driving modes that change the car to suit the driving conditions and your mood. For instance, Dynamic mode allows you to enjoy the full performance the XC90 has to offer by turning off the start-stop function, and priming the gearbox for later gear changes. With Individual mode, you can tailor the XC90 to suit your style, so you can mix and match from a range of options to find your perfect driving experience sweetspot.

The all-new XC90's interior is the most luxurious to have been designed for a Volvo. The most striking feature is a tablet-like touch screen control console, which forms the heart of an all-new in-car control system. The system is virtually button-free and represents an entirely new way for drivers to control their car and access a range of internet-based products and services. It also helps create an interior that is modern, spacious and uncluttered.

While being in tune with Volvo's Scandinavian design heritage, the new interior radiates sophisticated confidence, combining materials such as soft leather and wood with handcrafted details, including a gear lever made of crystal glass from Orrefors, the famous Swedish glassmaker, and diamond-cut controls for the start/stop button and volume control. Craftsmanship has been in sharp focus during the whole development work.

       

       

The XC90 features one of the top audio systems available in the automotive world after Volvo Cars audio experts joined forces with their counterparts at the renowned British audio equipment company Bowers & Wilkins.

The top-of-the-line system in the XC90 features a 1400 Watt Class D amplifier and 19 Bowers & Wilkins speakers. It also features one of the first air-ventilated subwoofers in a car. Integrated into the car body, it turns the whole interior space into a giant subwoofer. The latest sound processing software has been used to manage the timing of the sound and coordination of the speakers. This brings the emotional experience of a world-class live performance into the car.

One of the safest cars in the world

Volvo Cars' all-new XC90 will offer the most comprehensive and technologically sophisticated standard safety package available in the automotive industry. The new technologies will take the company a significant step closer to its vision that no one will be killed or seriously injured in a new Volvo car by 2020.

The standard safety package on the all-wheel drive, seven seat premium SUV will include two world-first safety technologies: a run-off road protection package, and auto brake at intersection capability. These innovations will form part of a suite of safety features that will make the all-new XC90 one of the safest cars ever made.

 
        

The All-New XC90 also features technologies that help the driver avoid run-off road scenarios: The Lane Keeping Aid applies extra steering torque if the car is about to leave the lane unintentionally, while Driver Alert Control, which is also standard, detects and warns tired or inattentive drivers. It even has Rest Stop Guidance, which directs the driver to the nearest rest area.

World First #2: Auto Brake at Intersections The XC90 is the first car in the world with technology that features automatic braking if the driver turns in front of an oncoming car. This is a common scenario at busy city crossings as well as on highways, where the speed limits are higher. The all-new Volvo XC90 detects a potential crash and brakes automatically in order to avoid a collision or mitigate the consequences of a crash.

Pre-crash protection in rear impacts Rearward facing radars detect if a rear impact is imminent and safety belts are tightened in advance in order to keep the occupant in a good position. Lights also start flashing to warn the driver behind, and the brakes are activated to help reduce the impact on the occupants. Together with Volvo's new seat design, which integrates the next generation of the groundbreaking Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS), this holistic rear impact pre-crash function helps reduce whiplash injuries.

The all-new XC90 comes with the latyest generation Roll Stability Control as standrad. The system uses advanced sensors to calculate the risk of rolling over. If the risk is assessed as high, engine torque is restricted and some braking force is applied to one or more wheels to counteract the rollover tendancy.

If a rollover is inevitable, the Inflatable Curtains are activated. They cover all three seat rows for an extended period of time to help prevent injuries.

       

Extended Road Sign Information

"Distraction and inattentiveness are the most common cause of accidents in modern traffic," says Lotta Jakobsson, Senior Technical Specialist at Volvo Cars Safety Center.  "The Adaptive Cruise Control with Queue Assist makes driving safer and more relaxed in monotonous stop-and-go traffic by adding steering assistance to the speed adaption."
