Volvo today announced a series of changes that will see the venerable XC90 SUV being reborn for the 2012 model year. The changes cover both the exterior and interior, with the most notable change being the introduction of the optional R-Design package.
The emphasis has been placed on luxury with the interior. Changes include three-spoke steering wheel, aluminum trim as standard and the watch dial-inspired instrument design with white lighting. In addition, The tailgate, which is divided into an upper and a lower section for added practicality, now comes with a new, color-coordinated leather handle.
The exterior of the XC90 has become more muscular with the addition of new day running light configuration using
LEDs in the lower bumper, LED brake lights and a silver turn indicator bulb. The list of exciting features includes 18-inch wheel in a silver matt finish and a bit of factory tuning via the R-Design package which consists of a special chassis, redesigned upholstery, inlays and door panels, plus new 19 inch alloy wheels.
"The XC90 still boasts all the virtues that have made it one of our most successful models ever. The spacious and flexible crossover combines excellent handling and comfort with superior get-you-there ability and flexibility. Now we have upgraded the XC90 with a number of features that emphasis the large SUV's unique blend of sophisticated elegance and capable ruggedness," says Peter Mertens, Senior Vice President Research and Development at the Volvo Car Corporation.
This should ensure the XC90 continues to sell well, but nine years in production is a long time.
