The Volvo XC90

The advanced LED headlights of the XC90, with their distinctive T-shape, allow you to see more clearly at night. LED Illumination technology helps you to avoid dazzling other road users by automatically switching between dipped and full beam. Range-topping Full-LED Active High Beam Illumination technology adapts the light pattern on full beam, giving you a larger area of light.

The XC90 was designed from the ground up for superb sound. Our range-topping Bowers & Wilkins system works with the car’s internal acoustics to deliver clarity and realism through its 19 speakers, including a unique subwoofer that draws air in from outside the car to create deeper, richer bass. A tweeter mounted on the top of the dashboard cuts down on acoustic reflections from the windscreen. On Excellence models, there is an extra speaker between the rear seats.

Three different room modes – Studio, Individual Stage and Gothenburg Concert Hall – allow you to tailor the sound to your music or mood. Stainless steel speaker grilles and Bowers & Wilkins’ trademark yellow speaker cones make this a system that looks as good as it sounds.

Connect your smartphone to the XC90 quickly and easily, every time. The XC90 supports both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which turns the centre display with touch screen into an extension of your smartphone. Access your music and messages or make calls, using voice control to talk to your phone’s personal assistant. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto only use the lower half of the screen so the car’s other functions are still displayed.

The XC90 offers a choice of drive modes, for a driving experience to match the road ahead and your mood. Using the roller control, which is positioned between the front seats, you can switch between three settings that alter the characteristics of the engine, automatic gearbox, steering, brakes, stability control system and engine stop/start. Comfort sets the car up for maximum comfort, Dynamic sharpens the car’s responses and Eco prioritises efficiency. A fourth mode, Individual, allows you to combine characteristics to create your perfect mode.

The XC90 T8 Twin Engine allows you to drive an average daily commute with zero emissions. This near-silent, electric-only mode, which we call Pure mode, is enough for the daily commute of most people. In addition there are two more modes. Switch to Power mode and the turbocharged, supercharged petrol engine and powerful electric motor work together to give you an instant response when you put your foot down. Keep the car in default Hybrid mode and the T8 Twin Engine automatically chooses between the petrol engine, electric motor or a combination of the two, to keep you moving as smoothly and efficiently as possible.

The 360˚ Camera available for the Volvo XC90 helps to make parking easier by giving you a bird’s-eye view of your car and its immediate surroundings. It’s especially useful when negotiating tight spaces and allows you to see the car’s position in relation to its surroundings. The surround view from the four wide-angle lens cameras appears on the centre touchscreen and is available at speeds up to 10km/h.

Your XC90 looks out for potential danger, helping to protect both those people in the car and those outside, day and night. We call this innovation City Safety and it uses radar and camera technology to identify potential hazards such as other vehicles, cyclists, pedestrians and large animals ahead. It warns the driver if it detects an imminent collision and, if they don’t react in time, City Safety can automatically apply the brakes to help avoid or mitigate a collision.
