The all new SUV model from the Swedish brand will make its way to the market this year and is looking to change the face of the SUV industry forever. This could very well be one of the most anticipated Sports Utility Vehicles of the year and today we have a look into how the car is looking so far and the success that the model has achieved already.

 

Day one editions of the car went on sale mid way though last year for customers to receive their vehicle earlier than the standard launch. All units of the Day One models completely sold out in just forty eight hours. The new XC90 will focus on both luxury and power and will look to take on some of the biggest contenders in the range with the likes of the Q series from Audi coming into play as a strong candidate.Blue Volvo XC90 at Total Loss Gap

 

 

How do Volvo look to make an impact with the XC90?

So Volvo will be looking for that big leverage boost over its competition this year and from power alone it can stand a very good chance. The car has been equipped with the fitting of a choice of either petrol or diesel engines as a part of the new Drive E range from the Swedish manufacturer. All of these units will carry the capacity of two litres and will contain four cylinders. The two big choices are to be the T6 petrol and the D4 diesel. The T6 is both super and turbo charged and the diesel will see an output of 187bhp for the D4. A D5 diesel will also be up for grabs producing 222 horse power.
