Volvo"s XC90 isn"t just a great vehicle - it"s a surprising one. Usually it takes a couple of attempts for a company to come up with a convincing 4x4, but Volvo managed it first time around, creating a vehicle to immediately worry established players such as BMW and Mercedes-Benz.
Yet perhaps it shouldn"t have come as a surprise. After all, Volvo"s estate cars were always known for their solidity, safety and dependability, all of which are essential ingredients for any modern Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV). The XC90 adds desirability to the mix and has quickly become one of the best things to be seen in with trend setting urban types willing to put up with waiting lists in order to get behind the wheel.
For once it"s hard to criticise such dedicated followers of fashion. The XC90 is an outstanding vehicle. Its modern design is easy on the eye, managing to seem strong without resorting to faux-macho body cladding and oversized bumpers. Not only is the interior spacious, it is brilliantly arranged, showcasing some superb examples of Swedish design that blend form and function seamlessly. And above all it is practical, making it arguably the most convincing family-oriented vehicle on the market today.
Yet despite its broad appeal, it"s by no means suitable for everyone. Off-road ability is modest (though admittedly better than one might expect) and the XC90 is simply too heavy to provide much by way of driver involvement. Still, sitting up high and wafting along with a feeling that your family is safe behind you is worth ten times more than rapid acceleration up a mountainside.
The ownership experience should be painless, too. With demand remaining high, used examples retain their value well, and Volvos aren"t renowned for presenting their owners with reliability problems.
Unless you"re a dyed in the wool opponent to urban SUVs, it"s hard to argue against the Volvo XC90. Even opponents will have to admit that it is among the very best examples of vehicles in its class and has been instrumental in turning Volvo into an unexpectedly cool brand.
Space and practicalitySeven seats as standard immediately sets the XC90 up as a very practical car. When not in use, the rearmost seats fold flat to create a good-sized boot and with all rear seats folded, carrying capacity is impressive. For a family picnic or a day at the beach, the XC90 is the perfect vehicle. Storage areas are designed with a view to how useful and capacious they are rather than simply trying to cram as many into the cabin as possible. Top marks to Volvo for that.Controls and displayFans of Volvo"s long-running fascia design treatment will be pleased to learn that it remains intact in the XC90, even if it has been subtly modernised in a few respects. The likeable Information Centre operated by means of a stalk gives all necessary information to the driver by means of that famous monochrome screen. Steering wheel and gear knob are leather trimmed and satisfying to hold.ComfortThe driver"s seat has a good range of adjustment, so tall and short drivers should find it quite easy to get comfortable. Numerous seating combinations are possible and the rearmost seats can be put up or down in a trice. There"s no wind noise or vibration to get on the nerves and the sound of the engine only penetrates when it is being worked hard.Car securityAll that safety equipment hasn"t been provided by sacrificing security features. With alarm, immobiliser, movement sensor, deadlocking and a load area cover, this is a well-protected vehicle. Just as well, as this is probably one of the few SUVs thieves are likely to express an interest in owing to the constant high demand.Car safetySafety is synonymous with Volvo, but the XC90 takes standards of protection to a whole new level. Sophisticated airbags are secreted all around the vehicle, special electronic systems are charged with countering SUVs" natural inclination to roll and ABS with EBD is present and correct. There"s even a sop to the anti-4x4 brigade - the XC90 is designed with a frontal structure designed to minimise impact damage in regular cars, not just other 4x4s.Driver appealThe elevated driving position gives a commanding view of the road ahead and other road users, but don"t expect to burn them all off at the lights, particularly in the D5 diesel. Though not sluggish, progress could best be described as measured. There"s less lean through corners than might be imagined, but some is still present. Family car appealSeven seats as standard immediately makes the XC90 a more exciting alternative for families that might otherwise gravitate towards a people carrier. Rear seats are small but children below secondary school age should be able to use them without trouble. In a masterpiece of design ingenuity, the central seat in the second rank can slide forward between the front seats to make a lone tot feel that Mummy and Daddy aren"t ignoring him or her. Solid but rounded interior elements are family friendly, too.
Quality and imageVolvo has largely turned around its reputation as a builder of safe, boring cars for safe, boring people so that it is generally regarded these days as a builder of safe, interesting cars. It has always enjoyed cult status among a select section of the car-buying public, but in today"s mass market, that"s simply not sustainable. It will be interesting to see if the sales drive has any future impact on Volvo"s core values, but so far standards seem as high as ever.The only negatives are that the drivers bolster is cracking and part of the plastic seat base is broken, nothing major though and nothing that detracts from the cars overall stunning condition.IN SUMMARY THIS IS A
STUNNING LATE MODEL 4X4 WITH THE DESIRABLE D5 DIESEL ENGINE MATED TO A LOVELY SUPER SMOOTH AUTO GEARBOX AND ITS THE FACE-LIFT MODEL AS WELL SO SURELY THE ONE TO HAVE
ESPECIALLY IN LOVELY BLACK PEARL, IT DRIVES FAULTLESS AND HAS GREAT SERVICE
