Are you ready for the safest SUV on the road? Volvo thinks they've got it with the new XC90, another new entrant to the crowded luxury/mid-sized SUV race. They may be on to something with that safety angle. The XC90 offers a few advancements, such as a lower cross-bar added to the front subframe, and placed at the height of the beam in a regular passenger car. Indded, this should result in safer operation, inside the XC90 and out -- should you ever get hit by an XC90. Volvo also offers roll stability control, dynamic stability traction control, and inflatable side curtain-type airbags. All-wheel drive is standard, the the SUV will be able to handle different terrain -- though it is not intended for anything other than highway driving.
Standard equipment includes a 2.5-liter, I5, 208-horsepower, turbo engine, and a 5-speed automatic transmission with overdrive.
