Behold the new Volvo XC90, a car that's been nipped and tucked more times than a Hollywood starlet. This latest facelift brings changes to the body panels, grill, headlights, bonnet, wheels, and even the paint color - a bold move with the Mulberry red hue. Inside, there's a new screen running Android Auto, offering improved functionality and a touch of modernity. The crystal gear selector adds a touch of class, though some elements remain unchanged, like the slightly dark digital driver's display.
But does all this cosmetic surgery translate to a truly rejuvenated driving experience? Well, the Volvo XC90 still feels familiar, with its comfortable seats and practical storage solutions throughout the cabin. The middle row offers good space and unique features like an inbuilt booster seat, catering to families on the go. The third row, while not the most spacious, serves its purpose for short trips. The boot capacity, around 302 liters, can be expanded by folding down seats, making it practical for various cargo needs.
Under the hood, the XC90 keeps it simple with just two engine options. The car's air suspension, available on select trims, aids in loading and unloading, adding a touch of luxury to the practicality. Hands-free tailgate opening and clever storage hooks showcase Volvo's attention to detail in enhancing everyday usability. Overall, the XC90's latest iteration blends style, comfort, and functionality, staying true to its roots while embracing modern upgrades for a well-rounded driving experience.
