The new Volvo XC90, which includes technology and design updates inside and out, is available to order from today.
Launch timings will vary across markets. Production is scheduled to begin in late 2024, with first customer deliveries set to start around the end of the year.
Jim Rowan, CEO of Volvo Cars, said: “The new XC90 exudes confidence, and why wouldn’t it? Our hybrid flagship has been one of our best-selling models for years and it’s still a favourite among many customers.
“Whether it’s comfort, space, luxury, versatility or hybrid efficiency you look for, the XC90 delivers on all accounts.
“Put together, the XC90 and its fully electric EX90 sibling provide customers with the options that suit them best and equip us with a balanced portfolio as we continue our transition towards full electrification.”
In plug-in hybrid form, the vehicle offers more than 70 kilometres of fully electric range on a single charge under the WLTP testing cycle.
Customers will have a choice of two mild-hybrid petrol variants, the B5 and B6 are assisted by a 48v lithium-ion battery and an integrated starter/generator.
The hybrid powertrain, paired with an efficient petrol engine, extends range by over 800km.
Full combined power of petrol and electric for constant all-wheel drive or off-road driving are also available.
A renewed interior brings Volvo’s latest user experience, seen in its new EX90 and EX30 EVs, into the XC90. A larger central touchscreen with higher resolution improves the user experience and offers new features, apps and of course regular over-the-air software updates.
