Premiere Volvo XC90 marked restart brand.
Lights decorated LED "Thor's Hammer" (so called T-Box Swedes), now become the hallmark of Volvo. Something has changed in the long-familiar combination emblem and diagonal stripes on the grille: now the spear of the god Mars is aligned precisely with this bar as it was on the very first Volvo - ÖV4.
Reboot, restart the entire brand. It defines the President of Volvo Håkan Samuelsson release of the second generation crossover Volvo XC90. The new SUV models will pave the way following generations (eg, successor sedan S80), which will be held on three pillars: a completely new platform, the new range of engines and a new style created by chief designer Thomas Ingenlatom.
In profile, the SUV kept the general proportions, but on aerodynamics worked on glory: the coefficient of streamlining 0, 3 very decent by the standards of crossovers. The wheelbase and length make XC90 2984 and 4950 mm (the predecessor was on the 127 and 143 mm respectively less)
Width - 2008 mm (73 mm increase), height - 1775 mm (minus nine). Standard ground clearance is 237 mm. In the presence of air suspension body can be lowered by 40 mm at loading, and in Offroad mode raise three centimeters. But the ground clearance remains at 267 mm only at speeds below 30 km / h.
On creation XC90 gone three years and much of the investment in the $ 11 billion allocated for all new generation cars Volvo, their platforms and engines. As compared with existing models of are over 90% of the components - a completely new. Bold rejection of heritage. The machine was invented from scratch in almost every detail. Incidentally, we are waiting for another eight models of the new generation of universal two platforms SPA and CMA (the second is developed together with parent company Geely)
In the body structure of the new Volvo XC90 is five times more high- and ultra-high steel compared with the old. They account for about 40% of the weight of the body, including one-third - on boron steel hot forming. Body torsion rigidity is 24 000 N • m / deg - again a decent rate for the wagon. Expanded use of lightweight materials (including aluminum), new chassis and aggregates led to a reduction in curb weight up to 125 kg novelties compared with the previous model (depending on the version). In particular, the base pyatidverka now weighs 1940 kg. For example, T6 thrown together with a pair of cylinders 90 kg with the increased recoil.

Scalable platform Scalable Product Architecture (SPA) allows you to build different cars in character, from the mid-size sedans to crossovers with three rows of seats (the novelty provided seven-seat version, with the third row is ready to accept people without problems rising up to 170 cm). There are easy to change wheelbases and overhangs, the height of the machine and a number of other important parameters. Only the distance from the front axle to the motor shield unified. Such universal platform uses an increasing number of manufacturers. The Swedes are proud that SPA - purely vovskii development last five and a half years.
SPA chassis adapted to different drive systems, including those for the full (with a conventional propeller shaft), and a hybrid power plant with their impressive battery under the floor and the electric motor on the rear axle, which, however, do not interfere with the space in the cabin and trunk. On the XC90 and held debut serial SPA. Earlier this platform tested at Trinity show car Concept Coupe, XC Coupe and Concept Estate.
Peter Mertens, Senior Vice President of Research and Development Volvo Car Group, calls the novelty world's first SUV with no compromises. And explains that it is about being transformed spacious interior, maneuverability at the level of small cars are outstanding dynamics, economy and of course the world's best security systems. True, true off-road capability of the machine is open to question. Note that a similar problem (to succeed in virtually all driving disciplines at once), the company set itself during the development of the previous generation XC90. But the hard-line crossover still failed (see the sidebar "History»).
New front suspension double wishbone improves the stability of the contact of tires and reduces the effect of torque steer. In the back mnogoryichazhka on layout considerations used transverse composite springs, which is also more traditional and lighter springs. However, it is a return to old ideas to a new level: for Volvo 960 and some other models of the brand similar springs used in the early 1990s. And, of course, can not remember Coupe Chevrolet Corvette, using transverse composite leaf spring since 1984 and the present. The buyer can also choose the XC90 air suspension, for which there are five modes (including with individual settings).
Newcomer ready to please owners of a spacious interior and impressive length of the cargo area when adding the second and third rows - 2040 mm. Although related to the long-length was cool - backside of the front seats do not fully formed. Nominal amount of luggage grew from 1178 to 1899 liters (including container underground). But that was reduced because it is the volume of the fuel tank (from 80 to 71 liters), but since the car has become more economical, it should not bother buyers. By the way, with the senior motor T6 crossover spends in the combined cycle is only 7, 7 l / 100 km. Acceleration from zero to hundred in this modification takes 6, 9, and the maximum speed is 230 km / h.
Under the hood - very often two-liter "turbochetvёrki" of a new line of Drive-E: diesel D5 (225 hp and 470 N • m) and D4 (190 hp and 400 N • m) petrol units T6 (320 l .s., 400 N • m) and T5 (254 hp and 350 N • m). In all cases, the car is put eightfold "automatic". Some of these engines are already used on older models, but it is in all XC90 Drive-E completely out of place. Platform because creating a new generation of machines. However, in the family of Drive-E will and Straight-three engine. That's something they will not be on the XC90.
The base XC90 D4 can be both front wheel, and with the fifth-generation Haldex clutch to drive the rear wheels. D5 and T6 version - only four-wheel drive. At the top scale - also polnoprivodnikov but conditional. This hybrid version T8 TwinEngine, combining gasoline two-liter engine (direct injection, turbocharging and drive the supercharger) with a 60-kilowatt (80 hp) electric motor, rotate the rear axle.
Recognizable relief hind wings became more expressive. A new line of rims with a diameter up to 22 inches. Developed two styling package: Urban Luxury (decorative items made of polished stainless steel) and Rugged Luxury (matt exterior trim and sills with illuminated)

Look at the car inside and out - in a corporate video.
Total returns installation - 400 hp and 640 N • m. At the disposal of the driver five modes of operation of the hybrid system: Pure (without starting the engine), Hybrid (combination at the discretion of the electronics), Power (with power priority), Off Road (optimized for off-road and the speed to 40 km / h), Individual (personal Adjusting the machine). The disadvantage of this hybrid is well known: for short trips in the winter without connection to a power outlet hybrid system can not keep up warm for work. Then the car actually stays front-and Siemens motor and nearly 200-pound battery LG Chem turn into ballast.
Carbon dioxide emissions hybrid SUV in the NEDC combined cycle are about 60 g / km, which roughly corresponds to the average consumption of 2, 5 l / 100 km. Volvo lucky that the XC90 was presented before the entry into force of the new regulation on a more realistic definition of fuel economy WLTP.
Cruising on one version only electricity from T8 TwinEngine exceed 40 km. Actually Swedish until called final performance. To Chinese customers (and China - the most important market for the XC90 along with the US) had the opportunity to use regional subsidies, power reserve should not be less than 50 km. It is because of orientation Volvo to China and America, where diesel fuel is unpopular, it is not expected a hybrid version TwinEngine c turbodiesel. And so it would be a plane!
Interior of new items - the realm of natural leather (from Scotland) and wood ("birch fire" from northern Sweden, with interesting texture and processing), and there is an option with metal bezel.
In terms of ergonomics and comfort Swedes consider the model a real breakthrough. So, on a portrait-oriented touchscreen display with a diagonal of 9, 5 inches simultaneous output controls and the smartphone and the car. Sensus interface Swedes seem intuitive. Voice commands are also provided. There is an access point Wi-Fi and a system with a circular view four cameras, as well as head-up display on the windscreen. Chetyrёhzonny climate control is included in the basic equipment, as well as an option (or "base" depending on the market), there may be "climate" with separate management and for the third row.
Multimedia complex interacts with an iPhone to a new level. He received the newest system Apple CarPlay. And Google is not forgotten - the buyer can take advantage of Android Auto. However, in practice it turns out that Volvo «mirror" smartphone only on the lower third of the screen, so, for example, navigate to the phone will never be an alternative to the built-in, the card which can be displayed on the entire screen.
In the top version TwinEngine selector gearbox is made of crystal from the company Orrefors. Interior designer Anders Bergström calls this gem of a find, play different colors in the sunlight. And since each handle is made by hand, two identical copies can not be. Each XC90 TwinEngine will be on your small work of art
Above the "music" the authors model worked no less thoroughly than on the design of the interior or the development of the multimedia menu. On the XC90 has a new set of companies from Bowers & Wilkins, designed in cooperation with the Volvo: 1400 watt amplifier and 19 speakers. The subwoofer is integrated into the body and uses cavities to enhance the bass. And to such an army "speaker" does not create a cacophony, the system uses special software to the precise matching of the speakers scattered throughout the cabin. Volvovtsy consider this system the best in the history of the brand and one of the best on the market.
City Safety system to recognize XC90 cars, cyclists and pedestrians in front of the car both day and night. The model is the next step for the company is already being tested fully autonomous driving: the crossover can become attached to the car in front, repeating its motion in a stop-and-go (System Queue Assist).
Set security systems XC90 Swedes called the most comprehensive and sophisticated in the industry. Here for the first time in the world there were two functions: Run-off road protection and Auto brake at intersections. The first system is activated if detects incipient departure from the road. The second - the evolution of the known systems of automatic braking.
Automatic braking systems on many cars are capable of stopping the car at dangerous proximity with associated car or at least reduce the speed before impact. The newest version of this complex from Volvo in addition is able to prevent the accident at the intersection when the owner turns without noticing oncoming traffic.

Run-off road protection: machine firmly tightens seat belts, seats it helps fulfill its role of protecting passengers during a hard landing. Between the front seats and the frame there is an additional item, quenching machine blow in the fall from a height.
All of these chips need to add recognition of road signs are already "in the database" and pretensioners on all seven seats, preventive measures (like the same tensioning belts) with the threat of a rear impact, the assistant, not only helps to park (and along and across) but in conditions of limited visibility to leave the parking lot in reverse.
The first batch of XC90 called First Edition will consist of 1927 copies (the year of foundation of the company) that the Swedes plan to sell exclusively through the website of the company. Machines receive door sill with an individual number and a unique logo on the rear doors, rich equipment (Inscription vosmispitsevye wheels 21-inch, audio Bowers & Wilkins, air suspension). But one body color - black Onyx. But the motor can be selected: T6 petrol or diesel D5. Masthead hybrid will go into production closer to spring. Dealers will start taking orders on September 3, the price we do not know yet.
