The production XC90 made its debut the following year with sales beginning in 2003. Just two years later, for the 2005 model year, the 4.4-liter, 311-horsepower V8 was introduced. A facelift was introduced in 2006 and 2009 saw the introduction of the exciting R-Design variants of the XC90 3.2 and XC90 V8.
The award-winning XC90 was launched in 2002 to world-wide critical acclaim. Motor Trend magazine named the XC90 its 2003 SUV of the year. It was also awarded the coveted North American Truck of the Year for 2003. The Volvo XC90 was the first SUV to come standard with Roll Stability Control, a revolutionary stability control system that helps prevent the vehicle from rolling over.
