| Contrà´le technique |
| This is the multi-purpose 'lifestyle' 4x4 that many buyers had been dreaming of. It combines the style of a prestige off-roader combined with the practicality of an estate, a respected badge and high build quality. It's an essentially civilised 4x4. Engine and road noise is kept to a minimum. It has seven seats as standard, with the rearmost seats folding flat to the floor to create a massive boot although these chairs are best suited to children. And the rear seats can be adjusted individually for maximum comfort. Although it has full-time four-wheel drive, XC90 does not have any of the low-ratio gears or traction aids required for serious off-roading. That's because Volvo realise that most buyers really won't need them. It's not a sporty drive but it always feels safe and secure. The strong petrol and diesel engines are at their best combined with the optional automatic gearbox. |
