Standard on all models is a third-row seat, which comes with its own auxiliary climate control.
An integrated center booster cushion for the second row comes standard.
The XC90 3.2 R-Design ($39,500) features a tighter, self-leveling suspension, speed-sensitive power steering, lower-profile 255/55R19 tires on 19-inch wheels, a unique grille and silver (rather than the standard black) roof rails.
Inside is a three-spoke sport steering wheel, Volvo's Watch Dial instruments, aluminum inlays and other visual touches.
The Dynamic Package ($1,400), exclusive to the R-Design model, adds bi-xenon headlights with active light bending and 255/45R20 tires on 20-inch wheels.
A wood steering wheel is optional ($325).
Options include the Climate Package ($675) with heated front seats, headlight washers, rain-sensing wipers, humidity sensor and an Interior Air Quality System.
The Multimedia Package ($2,500) upgrades to HDD navigation with real-time traffic, remote control and map care, the Dynaudio Premium sound system featuring Dolby Pro Logic II Surround Sound, and Sirius Satellite Radio.
The XC90 V8 ($47,500) gets upgraded Sapeli wood trim for the instrument panel, steering wheel, and shift knob, a leather steering wheel, the Climate Package, and 235/60R18 tires on 18-inch wheels.
An expanded Multimedia Package ($3,300) includes bi-xenon headlights, HDD navigation with real-time traffic, remote control and map care, the Dynaudio Premium sound system featuring Dolby Pro Logic II Surround Sound, and Sirius Satellite Radio.
The V8 Executive Package ($2,950) features special soft leather seating surfaces, massage and ventilation for the front seats, heated seats all around, unique wood inlays and wood steering wheel, and real leather on the inner doors and center console, 255/50R19 tires on 19-inch wheels, and special exhaust.
Optional with the Executive Package is a rear-seat refrigerator ($700).
Options for all models include a rear-seat DVD system with two headrest-mounted eight-inch color screens ($1,800); Bi-Xenon Active Bending Lights ($800).
Safety features include dual-stage frontal and side-impact airbags for front passengers, and curtain type head protection airbags for all outboard seats.
A rollover protection system senses an impending vehicle rollover, tightens the seatbelts and deploys the curtain airbags.
The seats feature Volvo's Whiplash Protection System, which moves them back and downward if the vehicle is hit from behind, reducing neck snap.
Rear park assist is standard on all models.
Active safety features include advanced four-channel antilock brakes, an electronic stability program, and Roll Stability Control, which uses a gyroscopic sensor to reduce the possibility of a rollover by applying brakes and modulating engine power.
Optional is Volvo's blind-spot monitoring system, or BLIS ($700).
BLIS uses cameras to monitor an area measuring 10 feet by 31 feet on either side of the car, which is often not covered by the side mirrors, and reports the presence of another vehicle in the blind spots with a prominent warning light in the appropriate mirror.
Optional all-wheel drive enhances safety in adverse conditions. |
