The new car is based on Volvo’s latest SPA platform. The SPA platform model will use lighter aluminum materials in interior brackets, doors, car exterior cladding and suspension, which will reduce weight by 125kg compared to the old model.
The interior of the new XC90 is simple and atmospheric, without the hard feeling of a car, but very close to the natural kind of freshness. The central control uses black, supplemented by wood grain trim and aluminum to create trends, while the seats and steering wheel are available in black and light colors. The central control touch screen uses the CarPlay system jointly developed by Volvo and Apple, which can be used to complete the operation of air conditioning, entertainment systems, etc. The stereo can be optionally installed in the UK Bowers & Wilkins.
Obviously, the new XC90 is not the style of local tyrants. Its temperament is more similar to the popular home warm man, so a large space is necessary. According to official information, the XC90 can accommodate passengers with a height of 1.7 meters, and it is also equipped with four-zone air conditioning. As a new generation of Volvo, the new XC90 will be equipped with many of Volvo’s latest technologies, such as obstacles, pedestrians, animal identification systems, etc.

In this powertrain, the engine and motor work together to provide 298kW (405PS)And 640Nm peakIn addition, the new car’s pure electric mode has a cruising range of 40km
In the power part, both the T6 and T5 versions use mechanical and turbocharged technology, with a maximum power of 239kW (325PS) and 189kW (257PS) respectively, and a peak torque of 400Nm and 350Nm. In terms of diesel engines, the D5 version uses a twin-turbocharged diesel engine, providing a maximum power of 168kW (228PS) and a peak torque of 470Nm, while the fuel consumption of 100 kilometers is about 6L; the D4 version has a maximum power of 142kW (193PS) and a peak torque of 400Nm.

Competitive product analysis
Judging from the currently announced price range of the T6 model, if the buyer wants to buy an all-round high-end, then the price is still very large in China. Volkswagen Touareg,,, and (M-class model) are all popular high-end goods, and so on can also be taken into account. Since the XC90 is a new generation, then we choose the sports version, BMW X5 and Cayenne models for comparison, while the Audi Q7 and Volkswagen Touareg are in the replacement period, so we will not make a comparison for the time being.
In terms of size, the new generation of XC90 has almost completely outperformed the models of the same class. The length of nearly 5 meters and the length of nearly 3 meters make this car a "behemoth", so it can have enough space to accommodate it. In terms of size alone, the XC90 currently has an absolute advantage in the high-end SUV array.
New generation standard
Then we see the high-efficiency power combination used by the XC90. The 2.0L dual-supercharged power used by the T6 model is no less than that of the current mainstream product V6 model. With the efficient power combination, the XC90 is also fully capable of meeting the power needs of ordinary drivers. From the data alone, the 2.0T engine of the Volvo XC90 almost combines the characteristics of several mainstream products.
Compared with the higher-performance models of the same class of SUVs, the T8 of the Volvo XC90 adopts a hybrid mode, which is almost no big difference compared with several 8-cylinder models in terms of performance parameters. But it is worth noting that the T8 model can last 40km in pure electric mode and is equipped with an energy recovery system. Under the premise of meeting the strong power, the carbon dioxide emissions of the T8 model are only 49g/km, and the fuel consumption of 100 kilometers is only 2.1L. Compared with the high-performance models of the same class, the advantage is obvious.
Since most of the configurations of this class of models can be personalized, and the basic comfort configurations are also very comprehensive, it is a bit too difficult to compare the configurations of each class of models alone. Select some of the key configurations of this class of models below to see if the XC90 has obvious advantages in the configuration part.
It can be seen that among models with similar prices, the Volvo XC90 has outstanding configuration advantages, and the comfort configuration and safety configuration are also very advantageous in the same class of models. Similar and other practical technologies are equipped, especially the comprehensive active safety equipment mentioned above. Volvo’s popularity is also higher than that of other brands, which can be described as very comprehensive.
