The upgraded Dynaudio Premium Sound audio system with Dolby Pro logic II Digital Surround Sound increases its output to 650W thanks to five 130W amplifiers with 12 top quality Dynaudio speakers (designed specifically for the XC90) and the addition of an Aux input for an MP3/i-Pod.
The standard RTI satellite navigation system with RDS-TMC is also upgraded for the 2007 models to offer faster route calculation thanks to its new, integrated 30Gb hard disk drive. Its other benefits include an improved display and advanced search options for parking and points of interest.
The high specification also includes a fridge in the centre armrest, heated front seats, chronograph instrument dials, walnut wood inlays for centre console and gear knob, brushed aluminium roof rails, unique Executive grille, luxury floor mats and metallic paint as standard.
Technical Specifications
With five, six and V8 engines now available, the new XC90 engine range offers the choice of economy and new levels of performance. The engine range still includes Volvo’s acclaimed D5 turbodiesel and is joined by Volvo’s V8 engine, which by popular demand is being introduced in right-hand drive for the UK, along with a new 3.2, in-line six-cylinder engine - which replace the 2.5T (210PS) and T6 (272PS) engines previously available.
V8
The new V8 tops the range offering 315PS of power with 440Nm of torque. This translates to high performance, with 0-60mph possible in 6.9 seconds and an electronically limited 130mph top speed, while achieving 20.9mpg on the official Combined cycle. It has a six-speed Geartronic transmission as standard and is also one of the cleanest V8 engines available with CO2 emissions of 322g/km.
3.2
The new, in-line 3.2 in-line six-cylinder petrol engine offers 238PS with 320Nm of torque. This gives a 0-60mph time of 8.9 seconds (with standard six-speed Geartronic transmission) and a top speed of 130mph. The engine delivers 23.9mpg on the Combined cycle with CO2 emissions of 281g/km.
D5
The popular, five-cylinder D5 turbodiesel offers 185PS and 400Nm of torque from 2,000rpm with 0-60mph available in 10.3 seconds with the standard six-speed manual transmission, or 11.1 seconds with the optional 6-speed Geartronic, with CO2 emissions of 219g/km or 239g/km respectively. It delivers 34.0mpg (manual) or 31.4mpg (Geartronic) on the official Combined cycle.
New Options
Some of the luxury items on the SE Lux and Executive models are also available as options for other models in the range, such as the upgraded RTI satellite navigation system with 32Gb hard drive - available separately or as part of a Communications Pack (which includes integrated telephone) - Active Bi-Xenon headlights (also available in an option pack which includes heated front seats and luxury floor mats) and the 650W Dynaudio Premium Sound audio system.
Style-wise, there are new alloy wheel options available. There is a choice of a new 17in Neptune alloy wheel, the 18in Atlantis alloy wheel (standard on the SE) can now be upgraded to polished or chrome versions, while the SE Lux’s new 18in Camulus is available as a no cost option.
