Year In Review 2019: Volvo XC90
The up to 7 seater premium #luxurySUV has options of 4, 5, 6 or 7 individual seats. We tested the 6 individual seater, and couldn't get enough of it!
Besides the air suspension, one of the coolest features on the #XC90 is how the side view mirrors automatically adjust by focusing on a lower angle when you are reversing (swipe for video)
Like the #XC60 in the previous post, the graphic heads-up display, 360 degree camera, keyless entry and hands free tailgate power opening, panoramic sunroof, and 20 inch diamond cut alloy wheels (10 spoke) were present in the XC90.
But unlike just the heated front seats that the XC60 was fitted with, the XC90 which we tested had a massage function for the napa leather upholstered seats as well.
For extra luggage space in the 6 seater, the back seats can be folded easily with their electronic folding headrests.
With just a push of a button the sports steering wheel which this model was fitted with, can be quickly heated on those cold mornings.
The #XC40 in the previous post was fitted with Harmon Kardon premium sound, but this XC90 had the top of the range Bowers & Wilkins system which has a 12 channel amplifier with 1400w output connected to 19 high-end speakers, for a concert hall experience.
Surprisingly, this large SUV was quite economical as we achieved 4.9l/100km (Volvo claim 5.7l/100km) Plenty power as well with 480Nm of torque from the 173kW 2.0l 4 cylinder turbocharged diesel engine.
The new Volvos like this XC90 are now fitted with a Volvo on Call button on the right top of the rear view mirror and an emergency SOS button on the left of the rear view mirror.

The XC90 pricing starts at R 1 039 500 on the Momentum trim. We tested the D5 8 speed Geartronic AWD Inscription in Crystal White Pearl (Metallic) which is priced at R 1 269 400 (inc extras) 📷 @ziyaad_86
