The newly released 2024 Volvo XC90 continues the brand's tradition of versatile and modern SUVs. This refined three-row model catches the eye with its sleek exterior styling and spacious, upscale interior while delivering the performance, technology, and utility Trevose, PA, drivers expect.
Performance
Motivating the Volvo XC90 are turbocharged and supercharged versions of Volvo's efficient 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine family, tuned here to balance responsive acceleration with fuel efficiency. The standard B5 generates 247 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque routed through a well-matched eight-speed automatic transmission to either the front or all four wheels. Upgrading to the electrified T8 plug-in hybrid model adds 87 horsepower electric motors to supplement gas power with immediate EV torque. Combined system output rises to 455 horsepower and 472 pound-feet of torque for stronger passing power. Even factoring 400+ horsepower performance when needed, Volvo still manages to eke out very reasonable fuel mileage from the Volvo XC90's powertrains, considering its generous size and capability.
Interior Features
The flexible interior welcomes up to seven passengers across three rows. With sliding and folding second-row seating, drivers can optimize passenger room or cargo capacity. Touches like beautiful open-pore wood trim, soft-touch surfaces, and ambient interior lighting provide a relaxing, elegant feel. The upscale interior surrounds occupants with the latest tech, including a large touchscreen, embedded apps, and support for wired or wireless devices. The Volvo XC90 keeps the whole crew happy with ample amenities for all three rows.
Volvo XC90 owners also appreciate thoughtful storage spaces placed throughout the cabin. Door pockets, a covered center console, underfloor compartments, and clever nooks give passengers room for personal items large and small. Second-row passengers enjoy their own climate and entertainment controls for personalized comfort. Taken together, the Volvo XC90 interior delivers function and flexibility in a modern, upscale package.
Exterior Design
Familiar Volvo styling cues like the large grille and "Thor's Hammer" headlamps make the Volvo XC90 instantly identifiable. A minimum of decorative add-ons results in clean, contemporary lines. LED exterior lighting, available oversized alloy wheels, and a selection of rich metallic paint colors enable buyers to express their style. Careful attention to aerodynamics during development keeps wind noise low and efficiency high.
On the practical side, the Volvo XC90 provides plenty of cargo versatility. Power-operated liftgates open wide for large item loading, while a low load floor eases lifting heavy gear inside. Optional integrated roof rails allow owners to securely transport bikes, skis, cargo boxes, and other equipment to adventure destinations nearby. With ample room for passengers and their gear, the Volvo XC90 transitions effortlessly from weekday errands to weekend getaways.
Technology
An intuitive touchscreen interface provides access to navigation, entertainment, and convenience features. Cloud-based services deliver live information and over-the-air updates. Charging pads and multiple USB ports maintain connectivity, while available Wi-Fi shares high-speed access with passengers' mobile devices. Newly developed driver aids even handle mundane highway driving chores when engaged, reducing fatigue on long trips.
The Volvo XC90 also keeps drivers connected through their smartphones. Its integrated apps suite syncs with Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay®, mirroring apps and content from users' phones onto the vehicle display for safe access. Drivers never need to learn multiple interfaces. Meanwhile, the Volvo On Call app enables remote vehicle monitoring, diagnostics, and control through mobile devices for extra peace of mind.
Safety Features
In keeping with tradition, Volvo engineers equipped the Volvo XC90 with the latest accident avoidance and injury protection systems. These can identify pedestrians and cyclists, provide automatic emergency braking, including at intersections, and mitigate or prevent many types of collisions. Impressive 360-degree exterior visibility promotes confident driving and parking while advanced sensors warn drivers of unseen hazards. As a result, the Volvo XC90 continues to earn top safety designations year after year.
The 2024 Volvo XC90 represents a natural evolution of everything modern families want from a premium SUV. Attractive styling turns heads without sacrificing versatility, technology simplifies and enriches time on the road, and active safety systems watch over passengers.
