What does Edmunds.com Say?
“Easy to drive and easy on the eyes,
Volvo's first foray into the SUV arena has
everything it needs to compete in this highly
competitive category.”
The Pros and Cons from Edmunds.com
Pros
Safe as a bank vault, plush ride, feels
smaller than it is, high-quality interior
materials, ample cargo room.
Cons
Turbocharged T6 engine not well suited to
SUV duty, third-row seating takes up too
much second-row space.
Safety
The Volvo earned a "Good" rating
(the highest) and "Best Pick"
status in IIHS frontal offset crash testing.
The XC90's Roll Stability Control system
uses a gyro-sensor to calculate its roll
speed and angle; if it's determined that
a rollover is imminent, the stability control
system is activated. In the event the vehicle
does roll over, an inflatable curtain covering
all three rows deploys. The XC90 is equipped
with a bumper crossmember that's lower than
that found on most SUVs -- it sits at the
height of the impact beam in a car. In the
event of a collision, this crossmember strikes
the oncoming car's protective structure,
activating its crumple zone to give the
cars' occupants maximum protection.
