New volvo xc90. The second incarnation of the Volvo XC90

Most big SUV Swedish origin, from the day of its successful debut in 2002, although it was subjected to slight transformations, but in general, throughout this entire period, no metamorphoses could make it the car of the “next” generation. He remained the firstborn in all its glory. As a result, rumors swept across the earth that this outdated modification became history and left the assembly line with dignity, giving way to young heirs. However, as it turned out at the end of August this year, all this was just an empty ring. Then, in their homeland, the Swedes demonstrated new version Volvo XC90 2016, radically different from the prototype in all respects. But it's better to talk about everything in order.

About the price and external changes

After the formal presentation in Stockholm, new Volvo XC90 rolled up to Paris Motor Show there to reveal to the amazed public the diversity of innovations. And I must admit, he succeeded. Moreover, according to some (confidential) data, at the time of the official debut, it was already known that a little, a lot, and fifty cars of the new model were paid for by future Russian owners. And all are collected in the most rich equipment, each of which costs at least five million rubles. But calm down!!! Do not panic for free! Firstly, not all sources are ready to subscribe to this, and secondly, for ordinary Russian motorists, with a less inflated wallet, the Volvo XC90 (2016) will be available, the price of which will be limited to two million hard-earned rubles.

But not about that yet, but about appearance. It should be noted here that the car, from a visual point of view, in some places, really has nothing to do with the basic prototype. But if you contrive and approach her from behind, then the genetic direction of Volvo is immediately recognized. For example, taillights. True, even in them, with a deep examination, the LED filling is revealed, which was not provided for on previous versions. However, the main advantage of the design is the front, where there are beautifully shaped lights that look forward with bright T-shaped LEDs.

As far as the overall design picture is concerned, one has to face the truth and admit that similar ideas have already appeared in some concepts. This is due to the fact that Thomas Ingenlath, the direct author of this style, pored over the design of the car, which made it possible to take the conceptual version of the XC Concept Coupe as the basis for the “physique”. And according to him, such an idea of ​​​​the exterior will be traced in all subsequent models of the Swedish family.

In this case, the surface of the body demonstrates an aristocratic calm, completely uncharacteristic of brutal crossovers. The clean side lines are only slightly rippled at the bottom by the door stiffeners. And then, they are carefully picked up by stylish moldings, which were a little short of contact with the thresholds.

In front, the radiator grill, which for some reason is made in a strictly English style, has acquired a new decoration in the form of an updated emblem. And the bumper, although initially it does not differ from out of the ordinary geometry, suddenly weighed a lip from below with a complicated configuration of the air intake and foglights built into it.

By the way, the skirt of the rear of the car also causes mixed feelings. The fact is that in appearance it is purely cosmetic, since if the modern Volvo XC90 is used as a real SUV, this part will very soon be scratched on branches, grass and other off-road attributes. But here, probably, you need to be indulgent and remember that in Europe its prototype has always been considered more of a family car than an SUV. And only in our area did he receive such high status executive class.

This time, the dimensions of the Volvo XC90 correspond to the dimensions of a family-class car. Judge for yourself, the second generation of the model has grown in length by 127 millimeters, and stopped at the turn of 4950 mm. Width has increased by 73mm for a total of 2008mm. But growth, on the contrary, sank a little, literally by 9 mm, which made the car only 1775 mm high. Of course, the wheelbase was also forced to increase, stretching to 2984 millimeters. Concerning ground clearance, then there is a certain difference in the parameters. Taking into account the natural underestimation of the machine and depending on its configuration, these indicators will mark 180 mm, 220 mm, and with the condition of installing an air suspension - all 267 mm.

Interior XC90 2016

Before describing the beauty of the interior world of the salon, it is necessary to clarify that the second generation of the ninetieth XC was created on the basis of the modular SPA platform, which allows you to create on a single basis. different models machines. As a result, by opening the door of Volvo 2016, any doubts about cheapness are dispelled to smithereens. Starting with upholstered door trim with wooden elements and lacquered power window buttons, and ending with leather interior interspersed with Swedish crystal - everything says about the solidity and guaranteed comfort of all three rows of seats.

But the main attention is drawn to the front panel in conjunction with the center console, which generally broke the stereotypes of the need for buttons, replacing them with a huge display, or even, rather, a real tablet, where it is displayed, and very conveniently obtained, all the information the driver needs, which allows you to control almost all available vehicle features.

In terms of options and multimedia equipment, the 2nd generation Volvo XC is already in basic configuration will get a four-season climate control system, a video surveillance system, a head-up display on the windshield and a cool audio system from Bowers & Wilkins with a matching set of audio amplifiers and speakers. And, of course, the car will be equipped modern systems security, including innovative versions.

Main technical characteristics

The engine compartment history of the second generation XC90 involves the installation of four-cylinder turbo engines from the Drive-E class. This range will include two petrol and two diesel engines.

So, gasoline unit T5 will produce 254 horsepower, and his partner with the abbreviation T6 - 320 horses. Diesel versions will appear in the form of D4 (front-wheel drive models only) and D5 models with the corresponding capabilities of 190 and 225 frisky horses.

But regardless of the type of engine, an eight-speed automatic transmission is designed to provide the dynamic abilities of the crossover.

Price and start of sales

As mentioned above, according to official figures, the cheapest version of the second generation of the XC90 will cost about 2 million rubles. More precisely - from 1,879,000 to 2,196,000 rubles. Well, the start of sales of the Volvo XC90, according to by and large has already begun, and as they say, the lot of the exclusive version of the First Edition in the amount of 1925 pieces went under the hammer at a price of 2,830,000 each. Those who were not destined to be among the lucky ones will have to wait for the serial launch of sales, which is scheduled for the spring of 2015.

Frankly, this has never happened before in the history of the car on the planet. 1927 pieces of crossovers from the pre-production batch of the company were sold only by photo, without any introductory test drives, promotions, discounts, trade-in. And this despite the fact that the price of the new Volvo XC90 is far from dumping and not even average. Only by photo. Doesn't this underline the level of public confidence in the Volvo brand? Probably the most customer friendly automotive firm. The company rigidly bends its line and saw fashion trends in the coffin, it does only what needs to be introduced into the design of the car in order to make it as convenient, safe and powerful as possible. And is it a crossover, a sedan, or just a traditional station wagon similar to a box, it does not matter.

New Volvo XC90 2016-2017

Ever since the first generation premium SUV, more than 12 years have passed. It is quite difficult to imagine any other brand that would keep the audience so much for such an amount of time. But there were offers on the market, and far from weak. This is the Q7 from Audi, and the BMW X5, and the Mercedes ML. The price of the XC90 at that time was more than five million rubles, and 45 cars from the first batch of First Edition were blindly ordered only in Russia. And the expectations of the first buyers were fully justified. There were some mistakes in software, but official dealers dealt with them pretty quickly. So far, no one has regretted it and sales of the new 2016 Volvo XC90 continue to grow. But the history of this SUV did not begin so rosy.

Volvo showed the ACC concept in Detroit back in 2001. The main emphasis was placed on spacious saloon, geometric cross-country ability, safety and controllability, which could compete with the controllability of a passenger car. They didn’t pay much attention to off-road properties, even then realizing that a crossover didn’t have to be a utilitarian lunar rover to get its audience, but driving and operating comfort (maintenance, even such trifles as changing oil and filters) should be fundamentally different from other cars . It’s not worth talking about safety, this is an ancient feature of the Swedish company, and Volvo has long become synonymous with the word “safety”.

First Volvo generation The XC90 managed to stay in the style of the ACC concept. Despite the very limited funding of Ford, who owned the company then, the crossover turned out to be bold on the outside, rich on the inside and safe, as befits a Swedish car. Ford did not give money for the introduction of technical innovations, so the crossover was built on the old 98-year front-wheel drive platform from the S80 sedan. Four-wheel drive was implemented using a Haldex coupling, which was the standard solution for crossovers of that period. 95% torque in normal conditions was transferred to the front axle, and the rear one was connected more actively as needed.

In the photo - external Volvo view XC90 2016-2017

What kind of engines were not under the hoods of the first generation XC90 - this is a five-cylinder in-line turbocharged gasoline engine with a capacity of 210 horsepower, and a 272-horsepower petrol six, and a five-cylinder turbodiesel with a capacity of 185 horses, and in 2005, a Yamaha V8 gasoline engine with a volume of 4400 cubic meters and a power of 315 forces was installed on one of the trim levels. Depending on the type of engine, either a six-speed mechanics or three types were installed on the car. hydromechanical automatic transmission with different ranges.

By the middle of the first decade, the Volvo XC90 was fully converted to LED rear optics, updated the interior, changed the radiator grille, introduced LED headlights into the architecture of the headlights running lights, the body received painted moldings and bumpers, which were previously an option, as well as lining on the wheel arches. Every year the company sold about 100,000 XC90s, with half of the sales provided by the Americans. But the company was about to make some big changes. The development of several new models was hampered due to insufficient funding by the American division of Ford Motor, the same Volvo XC90 could not be radically updated, since it was unprofitable for Ford to develop the Swedish satellite. It took several billion dollars to develop the platform alone, and this is not a joke even for a not-distressed brand like Ford. There is no money, give at least a platform for a new crossover, but the Swedes did not wait for it either. It all ended with the fact that Volvo was bought out by the Chinese billionaire Li Shufu, the owner of the Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Corporation. Geely immediately poured $11 million into the Swedish company to develop the Volvo XC90 and helped reorganize and retool production. Now the Swedes have begun to breathe deeply, new life the famous concern is just beginning. And it begins with the release of the long-awaited old generation of the Volvo XC90 crossover.

Specifications XC90

The new Volvo crossover had to be better than the wildest expectations, otherwise it would be quite difficult for him to push through in a dense market stream. Competitors do not sleep and have already divided the spheres of influence, and then the rapidly developing Koreans are very close to the methodical Germans. The Swedes did the right thing. They did not reinvent the Scandinavian bicycle, but turned to their traditional values ​​- high-quality assembly, thoughtful, not cosmic, but human design and excellent ergonomics, laconic image and innovative solutions, which Volvo has always been full of. And the main thing in this model is that it is a completely Swedish development, in which no third-party manufacturer took part. Perhaps the first since 1927, thanks to Li Shufu.

Any modern car built on a platform, chassis, this is the foundation and foundation of the entire ideology of the car. The platform of the new Volvo XC90 was developed from scratch by Swedish design engineers. This design had to be developed after 2010, after parting with Ford. Its beauty is that it can be adapted to different drive systems and to different types bodies, since most overall dimensions are subject to change. Only the size of the permanent module, which includes the engine and transmission, is stable, the module ends in the area of ​​the pedal assembly. The chassis can be used with any type of engine and can be used for both electric and hybrid vehicles. power plant.
By the way, the Volvo XC90 T8 version with hybrid motor already available from official dealers in Moscow. Under the floor of this car is an LG lithium battery, and on rear axle located Electrical engine Siemens. Architecture hybrid platform is such that the dimensions and layout of the cabin did not suffer at all from the placement of the battery and electric motor. The hybrid consists of a 318-horsepower two-liter gasoline engine, and in the combined cycle the T8 will consume no more than 2.5 l / 100 km. The electric motor has a power of 60 kW, and the total power of the installation is more than 400 horses. The fuel consumption of the gasoline version is no more than 8 liters per hundred in mixed mode.

All XC90s have the same suspension. Double front mounted wishbones, which is somewhat more expensive than MacPherson candles, and there is a multi-link at the back, but we will not see springs there. The engineers applied their proprietary solution, which has already been implemented in some of the company's sedans - a transverse spring. Only with the modern version, this is not a heavy stacked structure made of springy steel, but a composite torsion bar. Due to this, it was possible not only to improve the characteristics of the suspension and reduce the weight of the body by almost a hundred kg, but also to increase the volume of the luggage compartment. A similar suspension design is used on the Chevrolet Corvette. Suspension parts are all-aluminum, but assembled on strong steel subframes.

In the T6 configuration, you can choose pneumatic adaptive suspension, which is fully adjustable in all parameters manually, however, there are five preset modes. All engines, without exception, are supercharged. This is a D5 diesel with a power of 225 forces and with a torque of 470 Nm, a D4 diesel turbo engine with 190 forces and 400 Nm, a T6 petrol unit with 320 forces and 400 Nm and its weaker modification T5 for 254 horses. All motors are unified, which makes simple replacement(in case of repair) aluminum cylinder block and block head. The timing differs only in gasoline and diesel, and the cylinder diameter, stroke and volume are stable. Consequently, most engine parts are interchangeable. The difference in motors is only in attachments. T5 gasoline turbo engines have direct fuel injection, and T6 has mechanical supercharger. Each engine is offered with an eight-speed automatic. hydromechanical box gears. There will be no mechanics in this generation, only automatic.

Test drive XC 90

Intelligent engineering solutions are underlined by external restraint and exclusively Swedish design style. Both the crossover body and the interior can only be three colors- gray, brown and beige. But shades - weight. In the cabin, everything is natural, comfortable, abundantly flavored with natural light, soft colors and very high quality materials. door cards, seat upholstery, athermal glass. Of the types of wood, only birch or walnut can be used, and in the most expensive trim levels, the inserts are made of textured aluminum. The king of the interior is a huge tablet, which is located in the very center of the console. There are only eight buttons. At first, it’s unusual, but over time you get used to it and the buttons seem like just an excess against the background of a strictly designed design. Therefore, they left the most necessary buttons and three knobs - the volume of the audio system, the washer for selecting the suspension, engine and power steering settings, the engine start washer.

Pleasant to the eyes, but strange to the brain. A fully painted dashboard is no longer a novelty, however, on the Volvo XC90 it was solved as functionally and simply as possible. Almost all functions, modes, control of all machine systems are carried out from a central tablet with a touch screen. The sensor works perfectly, and in winter it understands even a touch with gloves on. The interface is very noble and, fortunately, quite unlike the interfaces of popular android smartphones. Aged in stylish dark colors, logically understandable and functional. Owner reviews say that it does an excellent job with our navigation systems, can be updated via the Internet, but iPhone owners will be disappointed for now - connection is only through a single USB connector. It just so happened, because Apple did not want to install its own synchronization module, and the Swedes did not reinvent the wheel. Support for Apple CarPlay is currently being considered and is under negotiation. Yes, and happiness is not in the tablet, after all.

Depending on the money invested in the Volvo XC90, you can get a real robot with artificial intelligence. That's where really, there are two steps left to the autopilot. The crossover itself can steer and keep its lane both in the city and on the highway, regardless of the speed, the car itself recognizes obstacles and knows how to divide them into pedestrians, cyclists, and fixed obstacles. Depending on the characteristics of the obstacle, Volvo either decides on the measures to prevent a collision, or displays on Windshield detailed information along with data received from the navigator, which is updated in real time. The cameras, located in a circle, broadcast the picture in excellent quality on the screen, and you can program their work using several stitched algorithms, as well as tune the system and adjust it for yourself. Volvo XC90 is able to independently perform parallel parking, and very filigree.

Video: Volvo XC90 test drive

The starting price of the Swedish crossover is 3.2 million rubles for 2016. It will be a front-wheel drive car with a 190-horsepower supercharged diesel, automatic and good equipment in the cabin and, of course, with a full package of security measures. All-wheel drive 320-horsepower SUV with gasoline engine and automatic transmission for eight positions can be bought for only 4,560,000 rubles. The top Volvo XC90 costs at least six million, including all possible additional offers. Expensive. But this is really a new word in modern automotive industry, which justifies a rather high price.

The prototype Volvo XC90 2019 was first introduced to the world at the American auto show in 2002. After that, many restyled versions came out. this car. However, its real successor is considered to be the new 2019 Volvo XC90, which has a design similar to the Volvo S90 and Volvo V90 Cross Country.

The reasons for this opinion were the fact that all previous generations of the SUV, in comparison with new Volvo The XC90 (Volvo XC 90) and Volvo S90 received only minor changes at the time.

The novelty differs from its predecessors in a more stylish design, improved technical characteristics and the amount of installed equipment. The car was also made new platform, which allowed him to throw off the extra 125 kg, despite the fact that overall dimensions increased slightly. The results of the work to improve the Volvo XC90 in the photo.

The Volvo X C 90 car has repeatedly passed test runs, the results of which are amazing. Thanks to this, the car earned mostly positive reviews from auto critics.

Not surprisingly, the configuration of the 2019 Volvo XC90 is directly related to functional features and power. In addition, as with most other cars, the new Volvo has many various modifications engine to improve dynamic performance.

In total, there are six different configurations with their own specifications:

• Auto Momentum;
• Auto Inscription;
• Auto R-Design;
• Auto Momentum 7 seats;
• Auto Inscription 7 seats;
• Auto R-Design 7 seats.

Now let's decide how much the ninetieth Volvo costs in a new body. The power of each individual configuration and the cost directly depends on the type of modification, as well as the availability of diesel or gasoline engine. Thus, the prices for 2019 for new Volvo XC90 cars are as follows:

• XC90 D4 - from 3 million 260 thousand rubles;
• XC90 D5 - from 3 million 490 thousand rubles;
• SC90 T5 - from 3 million 501 thousand rubles;
• XC90 T6 - from 3 million 993 thousand rubles.

Each of the above modifications has own engine, which, together with the functional features of the configuration, creates unique technical characteristics.

It is also worth noting that being the predecessor, the Volvo XC90 is not much different from the Volvo S90. The main differences are: tuning version of the engine and unique design elements. Next, we will get acquainted with the description of the technical characteristics and parameters of the 2019 Volvo XC90.

Specifications

Absolutely all modifications of the Volvo XC90 come with all-wheel drive and an eight-band automatic transmission, deserving positive feedback from the owners. There are four engines to choose from:

• with a capacity of 190 liters. With. and costing from 3 million 260 thousand to 3 million 804 thousand rubles;
• with a capacity of 224 liters. With. and costing from 3 million 490 thousand to 4 million 34 thousand rubles;
• with a capacity of 249 liters. With. and costing from 3 million 501 thousand to 4 million 45 thousand rubles;
• with a capacity of 320 liters. With. and costing from 3 million 993 thousand to 4 million 537 thousand rubles.

Naturally, fuel consumption will also depend on the power and volume of the engine, which you can see in the diagram below.

It is important to note that the no less famous Volvo S90 has approximately the same technical characteristics. However, unlike this car, the Volvo XC90 has a wider fan base and most of all deserves positive reviews from critics.

A test drive of the new CX90 from Volvo's respective model range defiantly proves that the car has unparalleled performance, at the level of cars such as: Volvo V90 Cross Country and Volvo C90.

It should be noted that the tuning received not only the body and engine of the new Volvo XC90 car, but also technical part. Thus, the new Volvo XC90 of the 2019 model year has acquired unique electronics and functions indispensable for the driver and passengers, due to the presence of which the price of the car, without problems, can increase from 3 million to 4 million rubles. Of course, more advanced versions of the Volvo XC90 receive only positive reviews.

For a visual inspection of the capabilities of the Volvo XC90 and its quite logical comparison with the 2019 Volvo S90 and Volvo V90 Cross Country, it is recommended to view the test drive video below (at the end of the article).

Design

The new Volvo XC90 and the 2019 Volvo S90 share a similar design. However, the price of the base model Volvo S90 is significantly lower than for cars in the XC lineup.

Appearance

As for the exterior, the design of the 2019 Volvo XC90 in the new body has a masculine elegance, respectability and firmness of character that highlight the reviews. This car, like the Volvo S90, has a unique design that is radically different from early models. In addition, according to the manufacturer, the 2019 Volvo V90 Cross Country, which has already made a lot of noise in the press, will be made in the same style.

The main notable features of the Volvo XC90 are:

• new shape of headlights;
• increased level of clearance;
• improved shape of the wheel arches;
• a new type of radiator grille and hood.

It is important to note that in addition to the standard Volvo XC90, Volvo S90 2019 and Cross Country models, tuning versions exist and are quite popular in Russia. Thus, without overpaying, you can purchase an extended version of the Volvo XC90, which has small tuning. You can evaluate all the possibilities of modernization by watching videos on the Internet, as well as by reading reviews.

Salon

The new 2019 Volvo XC90, like the Volvo S90 and Volvo V90 Cross Country, has an interior made of high-quality leather. Such a coating is combined with elements from higher species of wood. The most important thing is that the design has nothing to do with the configuration. That is, you can buy the basic Volvo model XC90 at the lowest price with exactly the same design as the maximum layout.

You can study the features of the salon from the corresponding video review or by reading reviews about Volvo.

It is important to note that the Cross Country cars, unlike the CX90, attract less attention. Accordingly, the reviews are not so unambiguous.

Other

In addition to the main advantages, it is worth noting that the new 2019 Volvo XC90, like the Volvo V90 Cross Country, uses the most modern technologies, including:

• low center of gravity;
• increased number of airbags for all passengers;
• improved braking system;
• the latest security system, which includes an immobilizer and other advanced developments.

Generally, new car Volvo XC90 receives positive feedback from owners in Russia and the active introduction of modern technologies contributes a lot to this. A detailed inspection of the features can be seen in the corresponding videos on the Internet.

More than a decade has passed since the Swedish crossover Volvo XC90 appeared on the automotive scene. A lot of water has flowed under the bridge, but the car still remains a model of unfathomable luxury and endless wealth. Comfortable, elegant liner from a well-known European manufacturer.

What is it this time? The famous Swedish carmaker Volvo Cars is preparing the release of the new 2016 lineup, and it risks becoming the most anticipated in its segment. At least fans of the brand are looking forward to the continuation of the series.

Appearance

The first thing that "gets stuck" look - headlights. Looking at them, one gets a clear idea of ​​​​who will become a trendsetter in terms of headlights in the coming year. A wonder of the lighting system, nicknamed the Hammers of Thor. Still would. The car flies through the veil of darkness, scattering it with its powerful divine "searchlights".
