The Volvo XC90 debuted at the Detroit Auto Show in 2002. The Swedish company has presented a new four-wheel drive seven-seater "parquet" SUV. "Parquet", because it is not entirely correct to call the Volvo XC90 an SUV. For the "off-road" of the car they say: high ground clearance (218 mm), a powerful engine and one of the most progressive electronic systems of all-wheel drive at the time of the debut. Against calling the XC90 an SUV, says the lack of mechanical inter-axle and inter-axle locking and, most importantly, demultipikator.

The Volvo XC90 is built on the same platform as the Volvo S60, V70 and S80. The XC90 is 10cm longer than the Volvo V70 station wagon. Thanks to the various overlays, the XC90 has an original body design, reminiscent of an oversized station wagon, with high ground clearance.

The hallmark of the Volvo XC90 is its truly spacious interior, with very thoughtful use of every inch of interior space. The car has as many as three rows of folding seats, which provides additional convenience when placing afats and luggage.

The driver and front passenger in the Volvo XC90 are separated by a huge panel on which are located: a radio tape recorder, a GSM phone, an air conditioner and all the keys for controlling auxiliary functions. Decent dimensions and the optimal angle of inclination relative to the windshield made it possible not to flicker with all the keys and buttons located on it and make them equally accessible to both the driver and the passenger. Moreover, the control of some systems - a radio tape recorder and a telephone - is duplicated by the buttons on the steering wheel of the Volvo XC90. A ee two simple audio control units are located on the rear pillars and are equally accessible to passengers in the second and third rows of the Volvo XC90.

The second row sofa in the Volvo XC90 comfortably accommodates three adults. It is designed as two full-size armchairs with a third, narrower one in between. It can be transformed into a child seat or a huge armrest table. All three seats in the Volvo XC90 are longitudinally adjustable and have folding backrests.

Volvo specialists paid great attention to the transportation in the Volvo XC90 forchildren. The center seat in the middle row moves forward on a sled so that the child is seated closer to the parents. In this case, you can remove the box-armrest located between the front seats.

The third row in the Volvo XC90 is two full-size seats that have an original design. Without the slightest effort, the pillows can be retracted under the boot floor and the backrests are folded into place. As a result, we get a trunk with an absolutely flat floor and an impressive volume of 613 liters. And thanks to the fact that all the backrests at the rear rows of the Volvo XC90 are foldable, you canpainlessly place a cargo almost 3 meters long in the cabin and go three or four. And if without luggage, then seven people are accommodated in the cabin of the XC90 with quite acceptable comfort.

The luggage compartment door is split in two, allowing for easy loading of luggage or acting as a folding seat on long journeys. In the second row, a child seat convertible from the armrest.

Holders for glasses, cans and all kinds of containers are scattered throughout the cabin. The XC90 is equipped with the most modernnew car safety systems and belongs to one of the safest cars in its class.

In fact, this car has so many safety features that no other car has ever seen before. Several stability control devices include Roll Stability Control (RSC), which works in conjunction with Dynamic Stability Traction Control (DSTC) to minimize the possibility of skidding on the road.

Volvo XC90 - front-wheel drive vehicle with torque distribution between the front and rearthemselves in a ratio of 95: 5 percent, respectively. But as soon as the front wheel of the car turns 1/7 of a turn, the electronics come into play. The XC90 system instantly increases the load on the rear wheels for the best traction. And the traction control system Volvo XC90 TRACS, braking the slipping wheels, plays the role of blocking cross-axle differentials, controlling the distribution of torque between the right and left wheels.

The Volvo XC90 all-wheel drive system uses a Haldex multi-plate clutch with MAlyany filling. The electronic unit reads information about the speed of rotation of the wheels of the car, engine speed, load on it, the state of the brake system and in a split second can transfer torque to the rear wheels to eliminate slippage.

When braking, the Volvo XC90 disengages the all-wheel drive system so that ABS does not interfere with its business and maintains a straight line.

Front airbags and side inflatable curtains ensure the safety of all passengers in the XC90. There are dThere are sensors that monitor the behavior of the car in the horizontal plane, but there are also sensors that monitor the roll. When the computer receives a signal that the rate of rise of the roll angle has reached a threshold, the system regards this as a risk of overturning and, simultaneously with a decrease in fuel supply, gives a command to brake the loaded (external to the center of rotation) wheels - first of all, this applies to the front wheel. As a result, the vehicle will follow a flatter trajectory and the risk of rollover will be reduced.

Except electronicknames are also purely design security solutions. The Volvo XC90 has an extremely robust body.

The roof contains elements made of boron steel, which is four to five times stronger than conventional steel grades. The struts are made of a special alloy of increased strength, many times higher than the strength usually used in car structures. The reminder system will not allow you to forget about the seat belts; it will beep until the passengers are wearing their seatbelt.

Volvo XC90 is equipped with three engines, which are made of aluminuminiya:

2.9L inline 6-cylinder petrol engine with twin turbocharger. This engine develops a power of 272 hp.

With this 6-cylinder engine and 4-speed Geartronic transmission, the Volvo XC90 reaches 100 km / h in just 9.3 seconds and has a top speed of 210 km / h.

In-line 5-cylinder petrol engine with a volume of 2.5 liters with a low pressure turbo supercharger. The power of this engine is 210 hp This engine is equipped with a 5-speed Geartronic gearbox. Volvo XC90 with this engine develops 100km / h in 9.9 seconds, top speed - 210 km / h.

In-line 5-cylinder turbo diesel with a volume of 2.4 liters with a common rail fuel supply system. This engine develops a power of 163 hp. The diesel engine is fitted with a Geartronic 5-speed gearbox. This modification of the XC90 develops 100 km / h in 12.3 seconds, and the top speed is 185 km / h.

On models of the 2005 model year, they began to install an eight-cylinder 4.4 V8 with a capacity of 315 hp.

Since its debut, the XC90 has sold over 600,000 copies. Since then, the car neoIt was renewed several times, but all the changes it experienced were insignificant. The long-awaited transition to the new generation took place on August 26, 2014, when the first presentation of the second generation XC90 took place in Stockholm for automotive journalists and a narrow circle of technical experts. The official world premiere of the second generation Volvo XC90 took place in October 2014 at the Paris Auto Show. Of course, after so many years of production, the model was waiting for a global update.

The all-terrain vehicle is based on a completely new scalable and unVersatile SPA (Scalable Product Architecture) platform. Volvo officials say it took the company five and a half years to develop the platform. XC90 2015 was created practically from scratch - more than 90% of parts and assemblies are new. The second-generation Volvo XC90 power frame widely uses aluminum, conventional steel, high, ultra-high, extra-high and ultra-high strength steel. Such a modern and high-tech composition of materials ensures the torsional rigidity of the body - 24,000 Nm / deg, despite the fact that the body frame itself weighsonly 400 kg. The use of more modern and lighter materials in the body structure, hinged panels, doors, chassis, engines made it possible to bring the curb weight of the basic version of the XC90 to 1940 kg, which is one centner less than that of its predecessor, even despite the increased dimensions and a greater number of standard equipment installed.

The overall length of the XC 90 in the new body has increased to 4,950 mm (+ 127), and the wheelbase has added 143 mm to 2,984. The width of the model has increased to 2,008 mm (+ 73), and the height has decreased to 1,775 (- 9 ). StandardThe ground clearance of the vehicle is 237 mm, but with air suspension, the ground clearance is adjustable: 187 mm in parking mode, 235 mm - standard, 217 mm - at a speed of over 110 km / h, 267 mm - Offroad mode with a speed of up to 30 km / h

A few words about the suspension. Front and rear on the novelty used aluminum suspension with steel subframes. The front of the vehicle is supported by an independent double wishbone suspension. A multi-link design is used at the rear, complemented by a composite transverse springmaterials. As an option, the crossover suspension can be replaced with a pneumatic one with the function of automatically changing the clearance depending on road conditions and the selected driving mode. Reinforced disc brakes are used on all wheels, while the front discs are ventilated. The rack and pinion steering mechanism is complemented by an electro-hydraulic variable force power steering.

The design of the model is made in the new corporate style of the company, developed by Thomas Ingenlath. The exterior is distinguished by simple and laconic lines, brural forms. The designers managed to correctly and accurately place accents on the car body, making them forget about dimensions. As a result, the XC90 2015, despite its gigantic size, looks light, dynamic and sporty. Revised body contours, coupled with a new bumper and well thought-out bonnet stamps, have improved aerodynamics, bringing the drag coefficient to 0.30 Cx.

At the front of the body, new headlamps with a T-shaped LED insert, which receivesilt the name "Thor's Hammer". The neat and stylish false radiator grille features a redesigned Volvo diagonal beam emblem, with the slat angled to match the angle of the God Mars spear in the logo. The side of the car is characterized by powerful wheel arch extensions, which accommodate low-profile tires 275 / 40R21, dressed on light-alloy wheels with 8 spokes (it is even possible to install R22 wheels). The rear part of the body received original lampshades of overall lighting equipment with LED filling, even more originalthe shape of the tailgate with a large glass area and spoiler, as well as a strict and stylish bumper with integrated exhaust tailpipes into the surface of the trapeziums.

The interior of the XC90 2015 has become the most luxurious in the history of the brand. High-quality genuine leather (Scotland), natural wood (birch from the north of Sweden), metal decorative elements are used in the interior trim, and the gear selector in the top hybrid modification is made by hand from crystal from Orrefors.

Center console practiceit has no buttons. All functions are controlled on a 9.5-inch color touchscreen with a Sensus interface that supports voice commands, as well as integration with Apple smartphones and Android OS. The instrument panel is also fully electronic.

The manufacturer managed to achieve a significant increase in free space on all rows of seats, which can be two or three, depending on the design (5 or 7 seats). To increase the free legroom of passengers, new ergonomic seats with thinner backs allowed. PraYes, the third row of seats is designed for children or people up to 170 cm in height. The front Comfort seats, which are part of the basic equipment, have adjustments for the sidewalls, cushion length and lumbar support, and for a surcharge, they can be equipped with ventilation and massage functions.

The audio system for the car was developed by the British firm Bowers & Wilkins. It is available in three versions: a basic one with six speakers and a 52-watt amplifier, an intermediate one with 12 speakers and a 224-watt amplifier, and a top-end one with a 12-channel HARMAN amplifier with a power of 1,400 watts, a combination of 19loudspeakers and an air-cooled subwoofer integrated into the body structure.

The list of basic equipment includes LED daytime running lights, fog lights, LED taillights, full power accessories, heated front seats, seats with an energy-absorbing frame, four-zone climate control, seat belt pretensioners on all rows of seats, at least 6 airbags, road recognition system signs, circular parking sensors and much more.

The options include advanced climate controlwith independent control for the third row seats, all-round cameras, head-up display on the windshield, Wi-Fi hotspot, pedestrian and cyclist recognition system in city streets.

Volvo XC90 2015 received the most advanced safety systems. For example, a car has Auto brake at intersections and Run-off road protection functions.

Also, for an SUV, a fully autonomous parking system is available without the participation of a driver, the ability torecognition of objects in the dark and the Queue Assist system, capable of ensuring movement behind a car moving in front in stop-and-go mode (completely repeats maneuvers). If there is a risk of a rear impact, the seat belt pretensioners in all rows of seats are automatically activated and the brake lights start flashing more actively.

With the rear seats folded out, the boot capacity is around 450 liters. The maximum cargo volume of the luggage compartment with the seats of the third and second rows folded is 1899 liters, while the length of the trunk is 2040 mm. The tailgate is electrically operated and, if necessary, can be opened with a swing of the foot under the rear bumper.

The second generation received a line of completely new gasoline and diesel engines from the Drive-E family. They all have 4 in-line cylinders with a total displacement of 2.0 liters, direct fuel injection, 16-valve DOHC timing belt and turbocharging.

The D5 diesel engine will become the base diesel engine on the Russian market, featuring a completely new i-Art individual fuel injection control system with reversecommunication that allows you to optimize fuel consumption much more efficiently than the common Common Rail system. The D5 engine is capable of developing up to 225 hp. power, as well as about 470 Nm of torque. At the same time, consuming only 4.9 liters per 100 kilometers.

The weaker 190-horsepower version of the diesel engine (D4) will not reach Russia and will be available only in European countries.

There are also two gasoline engines. The role of the younger is played by the T5 with a capacity of 249 hp. and 350 Nm of torque. The flagship gasoline engine was the T6 engine, additionally equipped with a mechanicalcompressor. Its upper power limit is indicated at 320 hp, and peak torque is at 400 Nm. The most powerful gasoline engine provides the crossover with acceleration dynamics to 100 km / h in 6.9 seconds and a top speed of 230 km, the average fuel consumption is declared at 7.7 liters.

At the top of the range is the T8 TwinEngine hybrid version, which includes a 2.0-liter 320-horsepower Drive-E petrol four with direct fuel injection, compressor and turbocharger, as well as an 87 hp electric motor. (240 Nm) transmitting thrustand the rear axle. The total output of such a setup is 376 hp. and 640 Nm of torque. At the same time, the Volvo XC90 Plug-in-Hybrid is able to cover about 43 kilometers exclusively on electric traction. Acceleration to hundreds of such a version takes 5.6 seconds, and the average consumption in the combined cycle is declared at 2.7 l / 100 km. In addition, the driver can choose one of five operating modes of the power plant: Pure, (only the traction of the electric motor without starting the internal combustion engine), Hybrid (a combination of an internal combustion engine and an electric motor under the supervision of electronics), Power (full power output), Off Road (for off-road driving)about speed up to 40 km / h) and Individual (individual settings).

We add that all power units are paired with an uncontested 8-band "automatic". Front-wheel drive is possible only for the basic version of the Volvo XC90 D4 (full for an additional charge), all other versions are equipped exclusively with all-wheel drive, where the fifth generation Haldex clutch is responsible for connecting the rear wheels.

Volvo XC90 of the second generation - stylish, expensive, beautiful in appearance, with a chic interior, premium materials and rich equipment, modern technicalth filling. A worthy replacement for the veteran Volvo XC90 of the first generation.
