The Volvo XC90 was a hit as soon as it was launched in 2003 for its understated quality, practicality and luxury.
Now the Swedes have given it a shove upmarket with a facelift and introduced two powerful new petrol engines to add to the more frugal diesel model.
We drove one for a week to see how this multipurpose seven-seater SUV punches at a higher weight
Volvo is pitching its flagship off-roader at the luxury end of the SUV market and changes to the 2007 model reflect this. At the front this takes the form of a new, more chrome-laden grille and a bigger Volvo badge. The rear sees redesigned lights, a full-width rear skidplate and a greater level of colour coding than on previous models. The car also has a shorter roofline due to the sloping tailgate, designed to make it clear this is most definitely not a Volvo estate. Trim levels SE and SE Lux also feature new 18-inch alloy wheels as standard with 19-inch alloy wheels available on the top Executive trim.
8/10
Volvo interiors have a calming effect. The Swedish manufacturer likes to ensure its drivers are unhurried and unflustered and the Volvo XC90 is no exception. The information display is set low to emphasise the vehicle’s car-like credentials while the updated central console is angled away from the cabin, helping create the feeling of space. The latest model also incorporates new materials and upholsteries, such as Sovereign Hide leather to enhance the premium quality claims.
