redesigned chassis with double
wishbone front suspension and a new
integral link rear axle incorporating transverse leaf spring of lightweight material.[52][53]
The new XC90 can also be equipped with electronically controlled air suspension with a
choice of five modes.[50]

The interior features a 9" tablet-like touch screen control console along with steering
wheel controls and voice-control system, all linked to an interface, marketed as Sensus,
which allows for access to cloud-based apps including Internet radio, connected
navigation, parking, music streaming, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a Wi-Fi hot
spot for using a tablet in the car. Other features include a gear lever made of Orrefors
crystal as well as diamond-cut controls for the start/stop button and drive mode control,
located on the centre console between the driver and passenger seats.

The highest level audio system in the XC90 features a 1400W Class-D amplifier and 19
Bowers & Wilkins speakers as well as one of the first air-ventilated subwoofers in a car.
[citation needed] Integrated into the car body, it turns the entire interior space into a large
subwoofer. The latest sound processing software has been used to manage the timing of
the sound and co-ordination of the speakers.

The vehicle's seats have also been redesigned with adjustable side bolsters, seat
cushion extension and massage. The second row features three individual seats with
recline adjustment. A sliding function can be used to create more legroom for the
passengers in the third row or to increase loading space. An integrated child booster
cushion in the centre seat is available. The Volvo XC90 seats 5 people or can be
available with 3rd row seating which seats 7 people.

Volvo Cars' air purification system has been improved by adding a new carbon filter for
more efficient capture of small, particles and pollen in the incoming air. The second
generation XC90 offers a 360° view system capable of providing the driver with a birds-
eye view, whereby information from all cameras is gathered and digitally integrated in a
central processor to form a 360° image. The rear sensing system, marketed as Park
Assist Pilot, offers automatic reversing into a parking bay.[50]

The 2nd generation XC90 was the first Volvo to carry the company's new, more
prominent iron mark, which has the iconic arrow aligned with the diagonal metallic slash
across the grille,[54] along with T-shaped LED daytime running lights known as "Thor's
Hammer" by Volvo designers.[55]

The car is available in five trim levels (Volvo describing it as "expressions"), namely
Kinetic (base trim level), Momentum, Inscription (a more luxurious trim), R-design (a
sportier trim) and Excellence (ultra-luxury).[50][56]

Safety
…
The Second Generation Volvo XC90 SUV feature (IntelliSafe), including Run-off-road
protection package and Auto brake at intersection.[57][58]

The Volvo XC90 safety systems include:

Run-off-road protection package. In a run-off-road scenario, the all-new Volvo XC90

detects what is happening and the front safety belts are tightened to keep the
occupants in position. To help prevent Spinal cord injury, energy-absorbing
functionality between the seat and seat frame cushions the vertical forces that can
arise when the car encounters a hard landing in the terrain.[50]

City Safety with auto brake in intersections. The XC90 is the first car in the world
with technology that features automatic braking if the driver turns in front of an
oncoming car.[59] This is a common scenario at busy city crossings as well as on
highways, where the speed limits are higher.

IntelliSafe with City Safety has become the umbrella name for all of Volvo Cars' auto
brake Collision avoidance functions, which are standard equipment in the new XC90.
This equipment now covers vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians in front of the car during
both day and night.

Adaptive Cruise Control with Pilot Assist traffic jam assistant enables safe and
comfortable semi-autonomous driving by automatically following the vehicle ahead in
stop-and-go traffic. Acceleration, braking and now also steering are controlled
automatically.[50]

Pilot Assist II model year 2017

…
A lane departure warning system includes a semi-autonomous drive technology, Pilot
Assist II as standard on the XC90 in selected markets for model year 2017.[60]

The Volvo brand has also made the claim that "By 2020, nobody shall be seriously
injured or killed in a new Volvo."[61]

EURONCAP tested in 2015 a XC90 (model year 2016), 5-door SUV with standard
equipment. EuroNCAP regards the XC90 model as a "best in class" performer.[62]

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety also crash-tested the XC90, and presented

With over 50,000 vehicles sold in the UK by 2018, no driver or passenger fatality had
been recorded.[66]

T8
…
The T8 plug-in hybrid version of the XC90 is based on
technology used in the Volvo V60 PHEV.[45] The
batteries, which are situated at the centre of the
vehicle, can be charged using an electric vehicle
charger and can also store energy recovered by
regenerative braking. Volvo says that the XC90 T8
sacrifices no passenger or cargo space to
Volvo XC90 T8 plug-in hybrid
accommodate the hybrid equipment.[49] However, the
tank capacity was reduced to 50 L (13.2 US gal; 11.0 imp gal)[67] for 2016-2018 models
and the spare tire was removed.

The vehicle emits 49 g/km of CO2 and has an all-electric range of 43 km (27 mi) under
the New European Driving Cycle. Normal driving is conducted in the default hybrid
mode, but the driver can switch to a mode that uses only electric power, with zero
emission driving.[68] Under the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tests, at
launch, the XC90 T8 had an all-electric range of 14 mi (23 km), with some gasoline
consumption (0.1 gal/100 mi), so the actual all-electric range was rated between 0 to
13 mi (0 to 21 km).[69]

The EPA, under its five-cycle tests, rated the 2016 model year XC90 T8 energy
consumption in all-electric mode at 58 kWh per 100 miles, which translates into a
combined city/highway fuel economy of 53 miles per gallon gasoline equivalent (MPG-e)
(4.4 L/100 km; 64 mpg-imp gasoline equivalent). When powered only by the gasoline
engine, EPA's official combined city/highway fuel economy is 25 mpg-US (9.4 L/100 km;
30 mpg-imp).[69]

At launch, for the 2016 model year, the XC90 T8 used a 9.2 kWh lithium-ion battery (6.7
kWh usable).[70] Over time, Volvo continued to gradually increase the battery size. For
the 2018 model year, it was increased to 10.4 kWh (8.0 usable);[71] for the 2020 model
year, it was increased to 11.6 kWh;[72] and for the 2023 model year, it was increased to
18.6 kWh.[73]

Deliveries of the XC90 T8 PHEV began in the United States in August 2015.[74] Sales in
Europe totaled 2,653 units in 2015.[75] Cumulative sales in the US totaled 488 units up
until February 2016.[76][77] According to Volvo, sales of the plug-in variant represent
20% of Volvo XC90 global sales by mid-March 2016.[78]

Trim Levels
…
The second-generation Volvo XC90 is available in three distinct trim levels: Momentum,
R Design, and Inscription. Momentum is the "base" design, and does not include
features such as full leather-trimmed seating surfaces, woodgrain interior trim, or a GPS
navigation system as standard equipment. The R Design features "Nubuck" upholstery
and a sports exterior body kit, as well as dark trim accents on the exterior and interior.
Inscription is the top-of-the-line design, and features full perforated Napa leather-
trimmed seating surfaces, woodgrain interior trim, dual heated front and outboard rear
seats, and additional bright accents on the exterior. For 2017, an "Excellence" trim was
introduced (see below) with the "T8" plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrain as standard
equipment, as well as additional luxury features.

XC90 T8 Excellence
…
For 2017, a new "Excellence" trim level was introduced as a luxury-oriented version of
the XC90. The Excellence offered a four-passenger (front/rear) seating configuration,
which included rear "lounge" bucket seats that were heated and ventilated. Additional
features included the Bowers and Wilkins premium surround-sound audio system with
amplifier, heated and ventilated front and rear seats, a dual-pane panoramic power
moonroof, rear seat entertainment system, and the "T8" plug-in hybrid (PHEV)
powertrain. There were a limited number of additional options available for the
Excellence trim. The Excellence trim was discontinued following the 2020 model year,
leaving the Inscription as the top trim level of the XC90.

Facelift (2021)
…
For the 2021 model year, the Volvo XC90 received a mid-cycle facelift. The facelift
included revised front and rear fascias, a new front grille design. The previous Excellence
trim was discontinued, and the "T8" powertrain was renamed the "XC90 Recharge".
