2007 Volvo XC90 Review
A revamped base version, new options, cosmetic tweaks, and a new model highlight this car-type SUV for 2007. XC90 seats up to seven and now comes in three models. For 2007, the base version is called the 3.2. It has a 235-hp inline 6-cyl engine and replaces the 2.5T model, which had a 208-hp turbocharged 5-cyl. The V8 model returns with 311 hp. New for '07, the Sport model adds unique trim, sport suspension and 19-inch wheels to the V8. All XC90s use a 6-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive is standard for the V8 and Sport, available for 3.2 in place of front-wheel drive. The AWD lacks low-range gearing. ABS and traction/antiskid control with rollover sensors are standard. So are front side airbags and curtain side airbags for all seating rows. Standard on V8s and Sports, optional on the 3.2 is a 3rd-row seat; included with it are a load-leveling suspension and 3rd-row climate and audio controls. XC90's 40/20/40 split 2nd-row bench is available with an integrated child booster seat. Steering-linked bi-xenon headlamps are a new option, as is Volvo's Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) designed to detect and warn of unseen objects nearby. Rear obstacle detection and a navigation system are also available. Leather upholstery is optional for 3.2s, standard on the V8 and Sport. XC90s get minor revisions to the grille, bumpers, door mirrors, taillights, and interior trim.
