Performance
Despite being a midsize SUV, the latest Volvo XC90s offer drivers a lot of control on the road. Base models use a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that can output 247 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. This standard engine manages to provide plenty of power for many of our customers. However, if you're interested in having more passing power and stronger acceleration, options such as the T6 engine, which provides 316 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, will be a better option.
In addition to engine power, the Volvo XC90 also has a precise steering system and responsive braking system to promote better control on the road. Available all-wheel drive as well as a quality suspension system will provide even more dexterity and traction when traveling on unfamiliar roads or rough terrain near St. Louis.
Design
The latest Volvo XC90s feature the iconic front grille and headlamp design with a few utilitarian upgrades. This midsize SUV makes use of a retractable trailer hitch, which is designed for easy towing and seamless connection to various vehicle systems. Higher trims such as the Volvo XC90 Plus feature exterior add-ons, accents and changes such as new chrome frames to the front grille for a sleeker look.
As a luxury midsize SUV, the Volvo XC90 features quality leather upholstery in base models, as well as quad-zone automatic climate control and available seat ventilation. Furthermore, these models offer an available ten-point massage system for drivers, panoramic sunroof and crisp 14-speaker or 19-speaker surround-sound system upgrade.
Drivers will find that the XC90 has some of the highest cargo capacity of its class, and the standard power liftgate makes packing and traveling around St. Louis with friends and family much easier. Higher trims also feature numerous upholstery upgrades and functionality changes, such as the Volvo XC90 Ultimate's tailored dashboard system.
Technology & Safety
The interior of the Volvo XC90 also has a bevy of beneficial features and technological systems, including an upgraded infotainment system with a standard navigation system on base models, smartphone app integration through Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™ and Bluetooth® connectivity.
Technology is also integrated in the Volvo XC90 for improved driver safety through various driver-assistance systems. For example, base models feature standard rearview surveillance systems, both front and rear parking sensors and blind spot monitoring with rear cross traffic alert for improved obstacle awareness. Adaptive headlights and automatic high beams allow for drivers to have an easier time finding their way in unfamiliar areas as well. The Volvo XC90 also scores considerably high on numerous safety examinations, making it an even safer option for drivers wary about problems on the road.
