Volvo XC90 Overview

The Volvo XC90 is classed as a mid-sized luxury crossover SUV (Sports Utility Vehicle) which is produced by the Swedish automobile manufacturers Volvo Cars. This vehicle has been in production since 2002 and is based on the Volvo S80 platform. This was Volvos best selling vehicle worldwide in 2005. These vehicles are extremely comfortable and can seat up to seven people. They are very well priced and hold their value well. They are very expensive to run and are not very well refined. It might not be as good as some rivals to drive but they do have the great safety features associated with Volvo vehicles. Does this sound like your experience of the Volvo XC90?
