"Volvo SH 90": specifications and reviews

The first generation of the off-road car Volvo XC90 was successful. An attractive and courageous crossover from the most reliable automaker quickly found its buyer. Production of the second generation was to start in 2009-2010, but due to the sale of Volvo Cars to Chinese Geely it was postponed indefinitely. So the updated SUV was released only in 2014. But specialists did not lose time for nothing. The brand-new "Volvo СХ 90" turned out to be excellent in all plans, but I would like to tell you more about its most important merits.

Appearance

It is worth noting that the carrying body of this car is made of high-strength steel. And for making roof beams and racks, even more reliable material is used. And this is boron steel, which is 5 times stronger than usual.

Especially attractive sports version of the model. Its features are darkened windows and optics, stylish bumpers, exclusive 20-inch wheels, roof rails, a powerful grille and side mirrors, accented with a matte-metallic hue.

"Volvo SH 90", the photo of which is given above, is the owner of a really interesting design. So do not just lovers, but also experts. Not without reason, this car in 2016 won the "North American SUV" award, repeating the success achieved in 2003 by the first generation.

Diesel powertrains

The maximum speed is 205 km / h, and the first "hundred" crossover is exchanged after 9.2 seconds after the start of the movement. Especially pleasing is the consumption, because this motor consumes only 5.8 liters of fuel per 100 "urban" kilometers. And if you move along the road, it will decrease to 4.9 liters.

Another economical unit is installed under the hood of the crossover "CX 90 Volvo". "Diesel" of another modification has a similar volume, but more power.

A mark of 100 km / h arrow speedometer reaches 7.8 seconds after the start of the movement. The consumption is 6.4 liters of fuel in the city. When driving along the highway, about 5.5 liters are spent.

Petrol versions

The maximum speed of versions with this engine is 215 km / h. And up to "hundred" they are accelerated in 8.2 seconds. The consumption in the mixed cycle is 7.6 liters of gasoline.

The most powerful models are aggregated by a 320-horsepower engine, which can accelerate to 230 km / h. And the first "hundred" such cars are exchanged after 6.5 seconds after the start. The consumption in a combined mode is about 8 liters. These are the most expensive models, but many believe that the impressive dynamics justifies the increased consumption of gasoline. By the way, all models are equipped with an 8-step "automatic", as well as diesel versions.

Interior decoration

The new "Volvo 90" boasts an elegant interior, in the process of decoration of which only high-quality materials were used. In addition, there are practically no buttons on the center console. The options are controlled via a multi-function touch screen with a diagonal of 9.5 inches. It should be noted that its interface Sensus supports voice commands and integration with phones based on iOS and Android.

It is also important to note that for the new "Volvo" special seats were designed with increased ergonomics and thinner backs. Thanks to their installation, it was possible to increase the legroom for passengers in the rear row. By the way, behind the rear are 3 separate seats, each of which is equipped with adjustments. And in the third row, which is available as an option, two people will feel comfortable growing up to 170 cm. The higher one will have to cramp, or be placed in front.

Standard equipment

The basic equipment Momentum pleases with a wide range of equipment. It includes everything that can only be required - starting with a 3-spoke wheel with leather trim and tempered glass, ending with halogen optics with a mechanical corrector and humidity sensor.

In fact, the list of equipment even in the basic configuration contains several dozens of items. In addition to the above, the car is equipped with 2-zone climate control, motion and rain sensors, anti-theft system, rear parking radar, backlit cosmetic mirrors, cruise control, air pressure monitoring in tires, a lift assistance option, Lanes and many other functions.

Cost

Talking about what the "Volvo XV 90" features, you can not forget its price.

Among which are air suspension, electric side support adjustment, Carbon Fiber trim and preparation for the installation of thresholds with illumination.

Interestingly, the same model with a small mileage will cost a lot less. Although the condition of the car will be new. But due to the fact that she already had an owner, it will be possible to save a good amount, which can reach one million rubles.

Owner Comments

Finally, it is worth mentioning the comments about the off-road vehicle "Volvo СХ 90". Comments are mostly positive. Most of all in this car people appreciate its patency, reliability, easy handling and a high level of comfort with excellent noise insulation.

And, of course, special attention is paid to the running gear of this SUV. The pneumatic suspension is soft, besides it can be adjusted independently under the personal manner of driving. Just like the brakes with the engine and the wheel.

True, many people have a question about how to adjust the handbrake. In the "Volvo SH 90" a very capricious parking brake system. Just like in many other Volvo models. If the problem gives real inconvenience, then you have to change all three cables. But this is the only unpleasant nuance that owners of an off-road vehicle face, and that's not all.

In the rest the car delivers only pleasure. The engine runs smoothly, the review is excellent, especially well the car behaves on the track. On the road you can ride without worrying about the integrity of the suspension. It is moderately tough, smoothing out any irregularities and bumps. Even after flying at a speed in a deep pit, it's impossible to punch the suspension.

If to conclude, then we can say with confidence that this car is worth its price and fully complies with the declared description. This is confirmed both by the owners' feedback and high sales ratings.
