Volvo’s new generation of premium SUVs has accomplished a matchless success as a result of Scandinavian design at its finest, with functionality and genuine beauty. The XC90 represents the epitome of luxury and allows for outstanding highway performance and low emission commuting through its range of two-litre, four-cylinder Drive-E powertrains.
World-class safety package
Volvo has long been an active pioneer in the world of safety technology, most notably with the Vision 2020, which states that no one will be killed or seriously injured in a new Volvo car by the year 2020.
The XC90 has been at the forefront of SUV safety since the launch of the first-generation model in 2002. As a leader in safety technology, it was the first SUV to be fitted with Roll Stability Control to reduce the risk of a rollover accident. Launched in 2014, the second-generation XC90 came with two world-first safety aids: Run-off-Road Protection and automatic emergency braking at junctions. Should the car inadvertently leave the road, Run-off-Road Protection automatically tightens the front seatbelts to keep occupants safely fastened.
Volvo’s innovative safety technology goes beyond protecting those inside the car. The latest version of automatic emergency braking detects pedestrians, cyclists and large animals, keeping all road users free from harm.
