The Volvo XC90 boasts a modern and elegant appearance. It is a spacious and flexible crossover model that combines the passenger car’s handling and comfort with excellent get-you-there ability and flexibility. The XC90 is designed to give an elegant, muscular and robust impression. All versions of the XC90 have color-coded side trim mouldings and door handles. As an alternative to black roof rails, brushed aluminium can be specified as an option.

The exterior colors available are Flamenco Red metallic, Black Stone solid, Ice White solid, Silver metallic, Black Sapphire metallic, Magic Blue metallic, Oyster Grey metallic, Electric Silver metallic, Ember Black metallic, Savile Grey metallic, Caper Green metallic and Passion Red solid.

The interior of the XC90 has a standard seats. The passenger compartment is ver spacious and features an uncluttered and modern design. The seating position gives the driver a commanding view over  traffic and the passengers a comfortable seating position. All the passenger seats can be folded to create a fully flat loading floor. The tailgate is divided into an upper and a lower section. This makes the Volvo XC90 a very flexible and versatile car in every day usage.

The XC90 is built as a passenger car, with a unitary body and the same type of chassis as that found in Volvo’s sedan models. The chassis, with spring struts at the front and Multilink axle at the rear, are tuned for a stable, controlled drive and alert steering response. The Multilink rear axle is an independent rear suspension system featuring a number of links and it is designed to offer a good combination of controlled wheel movements and high ride comfort. A long wheelbase and wide track, together with a very torsionally rigid body, contribute to the predictable, controlled driving manners.

All-Wheel Drive is an electronically controlled system that distributes engine power between the front and rear wheels quickly and automatically, depending on which wheel pair (front or rear wheels) has the best grip at the moment. The system helps enhance stability and reduces understeer and oversteer, contributing to increased driver control and a comfortable ride. The system is equipped with PreTension® which improves take-off speed and delivers higher traction on slippery surfaces.

Volvo’s Dynamic Stability and Traction Control system continuously registers the car’s roll rate, making it possible to detect slowly building skids at an early stage. Generally, the system helps stabilise the car in evasive manoeuvres, particularly when the car is exposed to high lateral forces.

Volvo Cars has developed a number of in-house functionality and driver support, such as WHIPS (Whiplash Protection System), SIPS (Side Impact Protection System) and IC (Inflatable Curtain). All are fitted as standard in the Volvo XC90.

Certain components have undergone further development specifically for the XC90 model. For instance, the Inflatable Curtain has been extended so that it also covers passengers in the third row of seats. All seven seats are equipped with three-point inertia-reel seat belts, belt pre-tensioners and head restraints.

The Volvo V60 is almost here, and Naperville Volvo dealer, Volvo of Lisle, is truly excited. The 2011 V60 has had an overwhelming response from enthusiasts. This is good news for the Volvo V60 design team, who had set their sight on giving the V60 a sporty design with the properties of a genuine sports wagon.

The V60 interior design is playful and stylish, yet simply functional. The 40/20/40-split rear seat and the fold-flat front passenger seat make it possible to combine passengers and load in a remarkably flexible way. Each backrest in the three-piece rear seat is folded with exceptional ease to create an entirely flat load floor. The rear seat headrests can be folded electrically.

The rear of the V60 has been designed for maximum utilisation of each available inch.  The 43.1 inch wide tailgate in combination with extra space behind the wheel housings and under the load floor is an example of the systematic approach adopted to ensure generous load capacity. The load area has a capacity of 15.2 cu ft. The rear seat can be specified with integrated child booster cushions in the two outer seats as well.

“Load-carrying ability is not just about volume. It is equally about the load space’s shape and flexibility. We have worked hard to free up load-carrying area and to provide capacity that truly makes a difference to the car owner. We have created the extra centimetres you need to bring with you those items that give life that added spice,” says Jonathan Disley, head of interior design in the new V60.

Easily accessible storage space is an important part of interior comfort and convenience. For instance, the new V60 has a storage compartment behind the centre stack and another in the centre console armrest, while in the door pockets there is space for books, maps and soft-drink bottles and cans. Both the front and rear seat occupants have seat pockets within easy reach.

Focus on sense of quality and craftsmanship

Just like the all-new Volvo S60, the new Volvo V60 has taken a significant step forward when it comes to the quality and craftsmanship of the interior.

“We aimed to make every visible surface, whether leather, metal, wood or plastic, exclusive both to the hand and the eye,” says Anders Sachs, who is in charge of colours and materials in the new V60.

The attractive stitching of the upholstery is one good example of the systematic approach to quality. The silk metal frame around the centre console’s décor in Charcoal, Shimmer Graphite Aluminium or Urbane Wood is another.

“We have aimed for uncompromising perfection in every single detail,” says Anders Sachs.

The Volvo V60 will definitely be the sports wagen of 2011 and will be available this fall at Chicago Volvo dealer, Volvo of Lisle. If you have any questions about the new V60, please call a Naperville Volvo specialist at 866.913.9145.
