There’s more to life than a Volvo. There’s getting where you
want to go. There’s getting there in style and comfort. There’s
power, agility and unrestricted pleasure. And there’s desire.
Desire to enjoy the best and desire to share this with those
you love, no matter where your journey takes you. That’s why
you should take a closer look at the XC90.

The XC90 wouldn’t be the superb SUV it is without a little muscle.
But the application of power without discrimination has never been
our business, and here, you’ll find no exceptions. Amongst a wealth of
outstanding performance enhancing technology you’ll find features such
as AWD with Instant Traction and six-speed Geartronic transmission
with a winter setting.
Harmonising power with subtlety can be a bridge too far for many
SUV’s. But with one depression of the accelerator pedal on an XC90,
you’ll feel equal parts muscle and grace and instantly enjoy what is
surely one of nature’s most potent combinations.
The subtle application
of pure strength.

As you settle back into the sumptuous leather interior, let the waves
of music from the Premium Sound music system wash over you and
feel the confident, quiet purr of a masterful V8 engine, we suggest you
try this short mental exercise.
Look around you. Feel the contentment from your companions. Take a
deep breath. Then try to remember what you once called expectations.
Expect more and that’s
exactly what you’ll get.

Why do the most profound experiences leave the deepest impression?
Take the interior of the XC90. No matter what the world outside is doing,
you, your friends or your family will be enveloped in an environment
that is as calm and understated as it is luxurious. No surprise there
really. This SUV was created for people who are dedicated to pleasure
– and to sharing it. The only downside is that you’ll occasionally have
to leave your XC90. But don’t worry. Experience this exceptional SUV
once and it will never leave you.
You can leave it, but it will
never leave you.

There are no second-class seats in the Volvo XC90. Painstaking
craftsmanship and superior materials ensure that comfort and safety
rule – from bumper to bumper. From its Interior Air Quality System to a
child-friendly booster cushion, nothing and no-one has been forgotten
in the pursuit of pure satisfaction. And like many of the good things in
life, the Volvo XC90 was made to be shared. Now it’s over to you.
Something this good was
always meant to be shared.

Have you ever dreamt of a car that is as big as your life? A car with a
choice of interior packages, each one an impeccable reflection of
contemporary auto styling? Features that are as intuitive as they are
facilitating and performance that takes you effortlessly from town to
dirt track? We did. And we decided to share it with you. Why not climb
in and join us in Dreamland?
Our designers are
dreamers – are you?
12

Every one of the seven seats in the Volvo XC90 offers much more
than superb comfort. They can also be configured in 64 different ways.
Add the fact that every passenger seat can be folded flush and you
have the perfect marriage of versatility and luxury. Loading is an easy
job too – just open the liftgate section of the split tailgate for lighter
objects or let both sections open wide for heavier loads.
64 expressions
of versatility.
14

Our relentless quest to deliver pleasure expresses itself emphatically
within the welcoming cocoon of the Volvo XC90. Air control ensures
that no matter what’s happening on the other side of that toughened
glass, you’ll stay comfortable. Features such as integrated Bluetooth
handsfree and our Road and Traffic Information system are at your
fingertips – and service – whenever they’re required. And dual screen
Rear Seat Entertainment keeps things under control over your shoulder,
should this be required.
Upgrade your
comfort zone.

There is one sure way to transform a journey into an event – add
some good music. If you can do this through a system that leads
the way in audio excellence, all the better.
Volvo’s Premium Sound system delivers a seriously moving aural
experience. It features a new digital class D amplifier, 12 high-end
loudspeakers, Dolby®Pro Logic®II surround sound and is fully
compatible with your iPod®or MP3 player. We could say more but in
this case, we’ll let the music do the talking.
When was the last time
you felt music?

Engine power and an improved environment. To many, these terms
sound like a contradiction. To us they represented a call to action.
A challenge to develop technology that doesn’t compromise on
performance while at the same time acknowledging our environmental
responsibility. The result is a series of engines that break the mould
– and a few records. The V8, for example, is the world’s first Ultra Low
Emission Vehicle II (ULEV II) compliant eight-cylinder engine. The D5
turbodiesel and six-cylinder petrol versions don’t disappoint either
– in terms of city and country driving pleasure or reduced emissions.
Carrying this power also presented challenges of its own. To meet
these, design characteristics such as a low centre of gravity, precisely
calculated weight distribution and high ground clearance were applied.
As a result, you stay firmly and comfortably rooted to the road, no
matter where it’s taking you.
It takes extraordinary
character to shoulder
big responsibility.
22

In the case of the Volvo XC90, relaxation is a state of mind not exclusive
to driving or enjoying the ride. Leave this car and you’ll be able to
enjoy the same feeling. Tough door locks, an electronic immobiliser and
laminated side windows help keep unwanted visitors at bay. Approach
and Home Safe lighting provide welcome reassurance when entering
and leaving the car in unlit areas. And should it be required, the Volvo
On Call facility delivers its own particular calming effect.
Wherever it takes you, this SUV has the capacity to get your pulse
racing. But when it comes to security, you’ll be pleased to know it
does exactly the opposite.
Sometimes a reduced
pulse rate is preferred.

There’s more to life than a volvo. That’s why we design our
cars to support you in any situation on the road. That’s why
our safety technology has pushed automotive development for
more than eighty years. That’s why we aim for a future where
cars don’t crash. That’s why we lead the way to zero emissions,
and offer one of the premium segments strongest ranges of
low CO2 alternatives. And there are all the reasons in the world
to move the boundaries for what’s possible and what’s not.
That’s why we innovate for life.

Eyes in the back.
Park Assist alerts you if you’re too close to a n obstacle
behind your car when reversing.
All-road stability.
Volvo’s All-Wheel Drive (AWD) with Inst ant Traction™
enhances driving stability and trac tion in all weathers,
all seasons and on all roads.
Stay on track.
Volvo’s anti-skid system Dynamic Stability and Traction
Control (DSTC) improves handling and safety in a wide
range of challenging situations.
Rain proof.
Water-repellent side windows improve vision in the rain,
and a rain sensor automatically engages the wipers if it
begins to rain or if water splashes onto your windscreen .
Keep the balance.
Roll Stabilit y Control (RSC) senses an impending rollover
and helps stabilise the vehicle if needed .

Innovated for your
enjoyment, the Volvo safety
technologies will protect
more than the fun of driving.
Across the world, Volvo equals safety. And that comes with good reason,
because few carmakers can match our record of safety innovations and the
commitment for safety that has guided us for more than 80 years. Of course,
this makes us extremely proud. But we’re not satisfied. Because we know
what we want to achieve: zero accidents. This huge task calls for innovative
thinking and a brand new approach to the way we design cars. Good news
is we’ve already come a long way. For starters, our cars are more fun and
engaging to drive than ever (because a bored driver will never be a safe
driver). Neither is the technology needed any figment of the imagination
– some is already available in your Volvo. This means driving a Volvo today
is like having a first peek at a very exciting automotive future – a future
where passionate engineering and design do more to help you get the
most out of life.
After all, there’s more to life than a Volvo.
24/7 peace of mind.
Stay co ol. Volvo On Call is Volvo’s integrated emergency
and roadside assistance technology.
An eye on the blind spot.
The Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) helps you detect
vehicles entering your blind spot .
On-road enlightenment.
Active Bending Lights (ABL) with Dual Xen on technology
expands your vision range when driving in the dark and
provides considerably improved illumination around bends.
Exhilarating comfort.
Ergonomic des ign in s eats and dr iver’s enviro nmen t
makes you relaxed and helps maintain your concentration
on driving.

Cleaner exhaust.
All Volvo engines comply with stringent international requirements
– the V8 is the world’s first ULEV II (Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle II)
compliant ei ght-cylinder engine. Fas t respo nding after a cold
start, Vol vo’s advanced emission control eliminates between 95
and 99 % of carbon monoxide, hydroc arbons and nitrogen oxides
from petrol engine exhaust gases. The Volvo turb odiesels feature
a particulate filter that removes about 95% of the particles from
the diesel exhaus t gases .
Allergy-tested interior materials.
All our upholsteries and interi or tex tiles are teste d
for cer tain allergy-inducing or harmful substances
and comply with Oeko-Tex Standard 100. And several
interior met al details are tested with re gard to c ontact
allergies. Good for you, and for anyo ne who shares
your ride.
85% recyclable.
To help minimise it s total environment al impact, every
Volvo is designed to facilitate recovery and recycling
at the end of its useful life.
Designed to catch the light
brilliantly, this car also reflects
a promise.
Thankfully, the automotive industry is moving away from fantasyland to the real
world. Our journey towards a better environment started already in the early 70’s.
Then we were among the first carmakers to acknowledge the environmental
downside of cars and to do something about it. Since then we are constantly
innovating to reduce the environmental impact of the cars and how we make them.
Today’s biggest challenge is, of course, to reduce the carbon dioxide emissions that
cause climate change. Today we offer one of the premium segments strongest
ranges of low CO2alternatives: the Volvo DRIVe variants. Utilising innovative power-
train technology together with advanced aerodynamics, low friction technology and
lightweight materials, the DRIVe range is an important step towards zero emissions.
In near future we will introduce new technology such as plug-in hybrid vehicles
that will further reduce CO2emissions and can be charged from a standard wall
socket. And we’re heavily engaged in the development of electrical vehicles – a
technology that will dramatically reduce the environmental footprint of our cars
and make them even more fun to drive.
Good for you, and for the world we share.
Fresh cabin air.
A cabin filter removes dust, pollen and other par ticles from the
incoming air. Continuously monitoring incoming air and shutting
out carbon monoxide, ground-level ozone and nit rogen dioxide,
Volvo’s Interior Air Qualit y System helps ensure that the air you
breathe in the vehicle is cleaner than that outside when driving
in heav y city traffic.
Maximised fuel efficiency with diesel.
Volvo’s advanced common rail turbodiesel technology
ensures superior fuel economy and low CO2emissions,
like the high-performance turbodiesel D5.
Fuel-saving design.
To reduce energy-loss from wind and roll resistance,
we utilise advanced aerody namic design, light-weight
mater ials and low-friction technology. Together with
state-of-the-art engine technology, this lowers your
CO2emissions and helps you travel further on less fuel.
