Why The 2024 Volvo XC90 Should Be Your Next Luxury SUV
August 28 2023,
In an automotive landscape where SUVs have become more than just a staple—they're now the main course—the 2024 Volvo XC90 stands out. It brings to the table an irresistible blend of opulence, safety, and modern tech. Having taken the time to dissect every inch of this Swedish marvel, I can safely say that the XC90 isn't just another SUV. It’s an SUV with purpose, intellect, and yes, emotion. Here's why you should consider making it your next purchase.
A Lesson in Swedish Luxury
Volvo’s design ethos revolves around simplicity, functionality, and elegance. The XC90 embodies these traits in its uncluttered lines and a well-appointed interior that sets it apart from other contenders in the luxury SUV category. Leather seats, a tailored dashboard, and the Orrefors crystal gearshift lever—in available trims—exude class and sophistication.
Cutting-Edge Safety Features
If safety is a top priority, Volvo's reputation precedes it. The 2024 XC90 comes with a comprehensive suite of safety technologies as part of its safety features. These include adaptive cruise control, pilot assist, 360-degree cameras, and advanced airbag systems, among others. New this year is the addition of improved pedestrian detection and a 'care key' that allows you to set speed limits for other drivers—perfect if you're handing the keys to a younger family member.
Next-Gen Tech Experience
The infotainment setup in the 2024 Volvo XC90 is a joy to use. With a 12.3-inch digital driver display and a 9-inch Sensus Touchscreen, both of which provide crisp graphics, navigating through the system is seamless. The XC90 supports both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and an available Harman Kardon audio system that audiophiles will love.
Performance that Matters
You have the option of going for either the B6 mild-hybrid or the Recharge (Plug-In Hybrid). The B6 comes with a 2.0-litre turbo-four engine delivering loads of power and surprising efficiency. The Recharge variant not only comes with 455-horsepower total but adds an electric range of an estimated 53km for ultra-quiet petrol-free driving.
Sustainability Initiatives
Volvo is taking steps to become a more sustainable brand, and the XC90 reflects this commitment. The Recharge model is a nod to the brand’s goal of becoming fully electric by 2030. Buying an XC90 means you're contributing to a future that's not only luxurious but sustainable.
The 2024 Volvo XC90 comes across as a well-rounded, thoughtful luxury SUV that offers a balanced mix of performance, safety, and comfort. It's the perfect family car for those who don’t want to compromise on style or substance. If you're in the market for a high-end SUV, you'd be doing yourself a disservice by not considering the XC90.
