The XC90’s interior is the most luxurious to have been designed for a Volvo.

The XC90 features one of the top audio systems available in the automotive world after Volvo Cars audio experts joined forces with their counterparts at the renowned British audio equipment company Bowers & Wilkins.

The Off-Road modes not only raise the vehicle height but also automatically engage the Hill Descent Control to negotiate steep gradients. The flexibility of these modes is aided by the air suspension with an electronically-controlled damper system.
