All-New Volvo XC90 Launches in Umhlanga This Saturday

"The XC90 represents the future of Volvo Cars. It is the first step in our product renewal plan and reflects our commitment to deliver a new kind of luxury car experience. The XC90 is a result of tireless research and innovation made possible by a substantial investment. We are delighted to see that it has been so well received," says HŒkan Samuelsson, President and CEO of Volvo Car Group.

How well received? You might ask, well the new XC90 has already won a long list of awards all over Europe and in the United States. Best SUV of The Year, Connected Car of The Year, Big SUV of The Year, and many many more including Best 4X4 by Diesel Car Magazine in the UK.

So you can expect exemplary performance from the new Volvo XC90, thanks to the efficient performance of Volvo's four cylinder, Drive-E engine program.

"Our Drive-E 4-cylinder engines deliver a wide band of power for the XC90 in both petrol and diesel, front and all-wheel drive configurations. On top of that we are introducing our no compromise Twin Engine technology in the XC90 T8, which delivers 300kW, 470Nm and only 49g CO2/km. It makes the all-new Volvo XC90 the most powerful and cleanest premium SUV on the market," said Dr. Peter Mertens, Senior Vice President Research & Development at Volvo Car Group. The Twin Engine technology was developed in cooperation between Volvo and Siemens and represents ground breaking technological advancement in the luxury SUV segment.
