Photos of the Volvo XC90 have leaked ahead of the car's official debut next month.
Built on Volvo's new scalable architecture, the XC90 replaces the decade-old XC90, and features a lineup of turbocharged 4-cylinder engines.
The range topping T8 (as it will be known – presumably to symbolize V8 power) will make 400 horsepower and 472 lb-ft of torque from a 4-cylinder engine that is both turbocharged and supercharged. The T8 will also utilize a plug-in hybrid system to give it 24 miles of electric range and CO2 emissions of 60 grams per kilometer – about 33 percent better than a non-plug-in Toyota Prius.
Also on tap are two non-hybrid four-cylinder engines, a T6 four-cylinder making 320 hp and a T5 unit making 254 hp. Two diesels will be offered as well, but likely for world markets.
A new suite of active safety features, including an updated auto-braking system is also a crucial part of the XC90′s sales proposition – and as Tim Cain notes, Volvo needs this car to be a big hit, after letting their flagship langush unchanged for over a decade.
