2017 Volvo Xc90 Review Full Torque Arriving
The electrified portion adds gobs of immediate torque to both front and rear wheels as part of its eAWD drivetrain designThat positions a 46 horsepower electric motor just aft of the ICE and an 87 horsepower motor in the rear, plus a 9.2-kWh battery pack, with full torque arriving at just 2,200 rpm when the rest of the powertrain is at full force. It moves this sizeable SUV along with an instantaneous swiftness, the result just 5.6 seconds to 100km/h when “Power” mode is selected. Despite its mere 2.0-litre displacement, the direct-injected internal combustion engine (ICE) portion of this HEV is both turbocharged and supercharged for 316 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque in non-electrified trim, although when upgraded to T8 Twin Engine spec it produces a fully satisfying 400 horsepower and 472 lb-ft of torque, all combined with a specially designed eight-speed automatic transmission and unique eAWD.Believe me when I say the hybridized XC90 T8 is quick.
SUVs don’tGet more comfortable, Volvo always producing some of the industry’s best seats, while our tester’s Inscription package took luxury, refinement, and features to new levels.Really, you need to step up to a Mercedes-AMG GLE or BMW X5 M to get an interior anywhere near as finely crafted, the Inscription’s optional stitched leather dash top and door uppers, standard genuine metal detailing and gorgeous open-pore hardwood second to none. After enjoying four weekdays behind the wheel, which included numerous stops to recharge at shopping malls, government buildings, and even actively green corporations like Ikea, my partner and I headed out of Vancouver, through the lush Fraser Valley, up the steep albeit fast-paced Coquihalla Highway, and then over the connector to Kelowna, BC, otherwise known as wine country, and found the XC90 T8 ideal company. Alternatively you can get a quick charger for your home.The benefit to the XC90’s PHEV design compared to a full EV is its ability to act just like a regular hybrid, or for that matter a regular non-electrified SUV, when no power supply is available. Providing commutes are short most owners will find their needs met by charging overnight, the process via 110-volt household circuit requiring around eight hours.
Standard T8 Insignia features include 20-inch alloys on 274/45 all-seasons, full LED headlamps, proximity access, a configurable TFT LCD primary gauge cluster, rain-sensing wipers, four-zone auto climate control, a 9.3-inchColour touchscreen with easy-to-use tablet-style gesture, pinch and swipe controls, navigation, a backup camera, Volvo On Call telematics, powered front seats with driver’s side memory, a panoramic sunroof, a third row that even fit my five-foot-eight frame comfortably, a powered liftgate that opens up 2,427 litres of potential cargo capacity (identical to the conventionally powered XC90), and much more.Additionally, my tester included a $2,200 Convenience package with adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, front and rear parking sensors, assisted self parking, a HomeLink universal garage door opener, and more an $1,800 Vision package with power retractable auto-dimming side mirrors, visual park assist with a surround parking camera (that’s truly amazing) and Front “Fisheye” View, plus blindspot monitoring with cross traffic alert and a $1,350 Climate Package with a heatableSteering wheel, heated windshield and washer nozzles, plus heatable rear outboard seats. The exterior colour palette is even more diverse, with two standard non-metallic hues as well as 10 metallic colours and shades to consider, my XC90’s $900 Magic Blue Metallic particularly elegant when combined with those tan hides and its standard matte-finish open-pore Linear Walnut inlays a glossy Dark Flame Birch is also available at no charge.As impressively finished as the XC90 T8 Inscription is, by no means is it fully equipped off the rack. Volvo also offers Inscription buyers optional Blond grey leather on black, or alternatively an all grey or all black experience. Even the Inscription’s key fob is special, the proximity sensing device’s sides finished in the same diamond-cut metal as the aforementioned drive controls, yet with its main surfaces wrapped in identical soft Nappa leather to the seat and door insert upholstery, colour and all without perforations of course.In the case of my loaner it was a nice Amber tan, which along with the rest of its CharcoalBlack interior made for a rich looking cabin as well.
