The 2017 Volvo XC90 is the most-awarded luxury SUV, and its no wonder, considering the XC90 represents Volvo’s distinctive take on what it means to drive a luxury SUV in the 21st century. XC90 drivers experience uncluttered design, handcrafted materials and cutting-edge innovations that create a Scandinavian sanctuary. The interior gives you the luxury of space and calm, no matter where you sit. And with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, it is a smarter, easier way of staying connected in the car.
Available seating varies depending on the model chosen. The XC90 T5 comes with a five-seat configuration option while the T6 and T8 plug-in hybrid continue to seat seven. The XC90 Excellence, on the hand, focuses on bringing the utmost luxury and premium experience to just four passengers, including standard crystal glasses made by Swedish glassmaker Orrefors.
All new Volvos are now connected, thanks to Volvo’s connectivity offering called Sensus. It delivers an intuitive touch screen interface that combines car functions, navigation, connected services and in-car entertainment applications such as Spotify, Pandora, or TuneIn. The portrait-oriented touch screen enables easy and fast access to a host of functions and features.
Volvo’s leadership in the field of automotive safety is confirmed in the XC90. Volvo’s City Safety Technology, standard on all Volvo models, combines automatic braking functionality and collision avoidance systems to cover a range of potential accident scenarios and help keep you safe.
From 2016, City Safety’s functionality is further extended in the XC90 with Large Animal Detection, designed to help avoid or mitigate collisions with large animals such as moose. An auto-steer functionality which helps to keep you on the road, called Run Off Road Mitigation, has also been added.
Volvo’s overall safety offering, called IntelliSafe, encompasses both active and passive safety systems and forms the groundwork for Volvo’s leadership in the field of autonomous drive. The XC90 already offers semi-autonomous drive with Pilot Assist, which, from 2016, works up to 80 mph on clearly marked roads. Pilot Assist is another step towards Volvo’s Vision 2020, which states that no one should be killed or seriously injured in a new Volvo by 2020.
