The Volvo XC90: Safe
However, security should not leave all of these features behind. The safety features of a car should also play an important role when choosing a car.
One of its most recent successes is its robust sports utility vehicle in the form of the Volvo XC90. This rugged SUV is one of the best-selling models on the market today. The strong point of the sale of the car is, of course, its safety features that only Volvo vehicles can offer.
The sport utility vehicle performed well during safety tests by the Road Safety Insurance Institute (IIHS). Tests include head-on collisions at 40 mph, side collisions at 31 mph and rear collisions at 20 mph.
The Volvo XC90 is one of 13 vehicles that have been qualified by the institute as a "Top Safety Pick". The third test that the institute presents to the automobile shows that it can protect the third-row seats, which are normally reserved for children.
The vehicle's safety rating is not surprising given the variety of safety features common to all Volvo models. The Volvo XC90 has standard safety features such as the anti-lock braking system, electronic rollover protection system and stability and traction control.
It also comes with a full range of airbags, including side airbags, which cover the three rows of seats. Not to mention the three-point seat belts that are tensioned in all seats.
The optional safety device is the BLIS or blind spot information system, which uses cameras attached to the exterior mirrors to warn the driver when a vehicle has entered his blind spot. This safety line can follow the toughest competitors.
The Volvo XC90 is available in different configurations to meet the needs of each customer. The choice of engines starts with the base model, which uses a 3.2-liter in-line six-cylinder for the sport version, which offers a V8 engine. This engine is the first V8 engine the company has used in its long history.
The six-cylinder engine produces 235 hp and uses variable cam control and a cam profile change to increase fuel consumption, allowing the intake valves to open at different heights depending on horsepower required, while the 4.4-liter V8 engine produces 311 hp All of this engine power, inline or in the V8 engine, is obtained by all wheels thanks to a wide range of Volvo XC90 high-performance parts, which are known to be precision built and are also very popular due to their reliability
The sport utility vehicle has incredible all-terrain vehicles that make it the best option for the generation that wants to race outdoors in their SUVs. While a large proportion of American car buyers turn their backs on the SUV market due to rising prices for petroleum products, the fuel consumption of the Volvo XC90 is not that bad compared to other vehicles in its class.
This fact and the safety and comfort of the vehicle make the Volvo XC90 a bestseller in the American market with a base of young buyers aged on average 44 years.
