Volvo XC90 car lease deals

Performance and features

The Volvo XC90 provides a smooth and relaxing driving experience, with an 8-speed Geartronic automatic transmission, all-wheel drive and hill start assist. Available engines are all 2-litre four-cylinder motors - one 235bph diesel, two petrol engines with 250bhp and 310bhp, and one 402bhp petrol-electric hybrid.

The base diesel engine in the D5 PowerPulse Momentum delivers 0-62mph in 7.8 seconds and a top speed of 137mph Meanwhile, the range-topping T8 hybrid reaches 62 in just 5.8 seconds.

Volvo has been a bastion of car safety for more than half a century, so the XC90 is one of the most secure cars on the market in which to carry a family. Its ultra high strength structure forms a protective cell around passengers, while an extensive suite of technology helps to actively avoid accidents.

This includes the City Safety system, which warns of an imminent collision and can automatically apply the brakes. The XC90 can also steer back into a lane if it strays over the white line, and monitors the driver for drowsiness - sounding an alarm and directing to the nearest rest area if needed.

Interior technology

The XC90 has some a wide range of features to appeal to technology lovers, with most functions controlled from the central 9-inch touch-screen display, accompanied by voice control and a Bluetooth communication system. The high-end, high-performance Bowers and Wilkins audio system gives a premium sound experience.

Being Scandinavian, Volvo’s incredibly useful heated windscreen means you’ll never have to worry about defrosting the car before work. Certain models even boast a powered tailgate to make loading heavy objects as simple as a gesture.
