I really applaud all the tech innovations here...I think they're going to be a huge hit!

...still not a huge fan of Volvo's interior designs - loved their old ones, but this new one seems kind of plain to me.  I'm sure the materials will rival the best out there though!

Under the XC90′s long hood is a twin-charged (super and turbo) 2.0L four-cylinder, which can be paired with a hybrid drive for a total of 400 hp and 472 lb-ft of torque.



Good LORD.  Out of a 2.0 liter....

that figure is INCLUDING the electric power.   the twin charged engine by itself is i think less than 300 HP..

Driving thrills makes my wallet lighter.. and therefore makes me faster because i'm shedding weight... :D

Are you guys redating stories now?  I just saw this show up as a Dec 1 story, but was also out about 2 weeks ago - Was there new info added?  if so, it would make sense, but make it easy to spot.

I came across a similar one last week as well (can't remember which one) where the comments on it started in October.

It's approx. 316 HP...

Looks nice but I think the side buttons would be hard to use.

I have no issues with the current Volvo key. Its plain but well made and functional.


Really lovely car though. I'm not an SUV person but I really like this thing, and I am inclined to cheer for Volvo as a sort of underdog recovery story after those bad Ford years.
