Volvo XC90

The Volvo XC90 is designed as a luxury family SUV. It has been a leader in its class for years now and is, bar the price tag, a logical choice. Typical for all Volvos, it emphasises safety, comfort, and environmental consciousness. It stands out for its spacious and beautifully designed interior, advanced safety features, and commitment to sustainable driving options.

The XC90 excels in providing a comfortable ride, a full array of systems designed to keep you safe, and a luxurious yet understated interior. Its plug-in hybrid option appeals to environmentally conscious drivers looking for reduced emissions without compromising on performance. For the more spirited drivers, there are also more powerful, punchy engine options. Its outward design does what Volvos do best - it has presence, but is not in your face about it.

Despite its many strengths, the XC90's higher price point and fuel consumption for non-hybrid models may deter budget-conscious buyers. Additionally, its size can make it less maneuverable in tight urban spaces.

• Engine Options: Range of engines including a 2.0L 4-cylinder turbocharged petrol, a plug-in hybrid variant, and a diesel option. All of them available with all-wheel-drive.
• Range in KM: Hybrid model has 40 km on electric power alone / ca. 8l / 100km for ICE-Models
• Number of Doors: 5
• Number of Seats: 7
• Boot Space: 651 l, expandable to 1,951 l

Ideal for families looking for a safe, comfortable, and environmentally friendly SUV. Its luxurious features and hybrid option make it a great choice for those willing to invest in quality and sustainability.
