2010 volvo xc90 review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. Big utility in a mid-size luxury suv. introductionthe volvo xc90 is big on safety, comfort and functionality. The 2010 xc90 seats seven passengers, and leather seating, power glass sunroof, rear park assist and third-row climate control are standard equipment. An integrated center booster cushion adds versatility to the second-row seat and eliminates the challenges associated with installing a separate child seat. the xc90 swallows more cargo than its competitors, and it comes with features that allow quick, easy tailoring for cargo, gear or people. The xc90 is not the sportiest vehicle among luxury-class suvs, but it handles well on city streets and highways. It rides very comfortably and it's easy to park. It produces 235 horsepower and 236 pound-feet of torque, and it gets an epa-estimated 15/21 city/highway. the upgrade 311-hp v8 adds a bit of excitement for those who put a premium on quick acceleration. The v8 also ups the tow rating to 4,960 pounds. The 4. 4-liter v8 was developed to volvo specifications by yamaha, the japanese motorcycle builder and auto engine specialist. The xc90 was launched as a 2003 model and volvo freshened its appearance for 2007. The sporty r-design models joined the lineup for 2009. The 3. 2 r-design continues with minor changes in the 2010 lineup, but the r-design package is no longer available on the v8. the fulltime all-wheel-drive system works smoothly in the daily grind without any penalty in epa fuel economy, and it's truly welcome when the weather gets foul or the road surface gets rough. Less obvious are features like a roof structure fashioned from high-strength steel, or a lower front crossmember engineered to inflict less damage on small vehicles if an accident occurs. It's optional, but we think it's a great safety feature. lineupthe 2010 volvo xc90 comes with a choice of 3. 2-liter inline-6 or 4. 4-liter v8 engine. Both come with a six-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive (awd) is standard on the v8 and optional 2,000) with the six. the 2010 volvo xc90 3. 2 37,700) comes with leather upholstery, dual-zone automatic climate control, power glass sunroof, along with an eight-way power driver's seat with memory, power passenger seat, power door locks, power heated mirrors, fog lights, 160-watt, eight-speaker audio with cd/mp3 and auxiliary jack, cruise control, trip computer, auto-dimming interior mirror, real wood interior trim, and 235/60r18 tires on 18-inch alloy wheels.

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.

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. 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. walkaroundthe volvo xc90 looks very clearly like a volvo, even without the badges. It has the rugged, adventurous, substantial look of an suv. its angular styling says volvo. In side view, the xc90's roofline rakes upward dramatically from the windshield to a high horizontal plane, with the arc of the top echoed by the curve of the roof rails. A high beltline enhances to the typical visual image of a tall suv, and creates the feeling of a protective cocoon inside. The rear glass is inclined toward the front of the vehicle, which shortens the roofline a bit and tidies the profile. Its basic stance gives the xc90 a well-planted look and promotes handling stability. Its wheelbase is long, but the overhangs are short, so the body doesn't extend very far past the wheels. It has a wide track as well. And despite its height, the xc90 has a lower center of gravity than many suvs. the taillights are huge, designed to ensure visibility to other drivers. Active bi-xenon headlights are available that generate brighter light and swivel up to 15 degrees off center in the direction of travel to better light up the turns. the rear hatch is split into two sections, with a larger, upper glass portion that swings up and a lower, steel gate that drops down. Larger objects require opening both halves, so this clamshell hatch has its strength and weaknesses. Liftgates on some suvs are hard to raise due to their weight and the angles involved, but that's not the case here. By comparison the optional cratus 20-inchers are downright ordinary, despite the deliberately uneasy asymmetry of their own five spokes. the v8 shares some of the r-design's exterior brightwork, but rev.
