The V90 shares a similar dynamic nature as the front-drive S90 sedan and benefits from a long wheelbase that imparts a supple ride. The steering is direct, well-controlled and offers precise feedback. The difference from the sedan, as well as the standard V90 wagon (which comes special-order-only from your dealer) is its slightly higher ride height -- it’s 2.3 inches taller which contributes to 8.3 inches of ground clearance -- as well as the standard all-wheel drive, which figures greatly in its neutral handling characteristics. The car is well-balanced, exhibits little in the way of body roll and is decidedly more car-like in its roadholding than traditional SUVs. But that doesn’t mean the Cross Country gives up the ability to take on two-track off-road trails or plow through snow. It’s the perfect for winter commuting and backcountry exploring.
TURBO/SUPERCHARGED ENGINE The performance from this 2.0-liter 4-cylinder is simply amazing. Getting 316 horsepower from this engine is quite a feat -- the car doesn’t seem to lack for power and still delivers fuel economy that shames less powerful drivetrains. SELECTABLE DRIVE MODES In addition to the Eco, Comfort, Off Road and Dynamic modes (all of which are nicely tailored to their individual missions) is the standard hill-descent feature that gives the Cross Country dirt-trail cred.
The interior blends modern tech functions with the clean aesthetics embodied in Scandinavian design. Flowing lines, plenty of soft-touch surfaces and the use of dark walnut inlays give the cabin an elegant, upscale aura. At the same time, the large vertical center touch screen has the same touch/swipe/pinch-control strategy familiar to anyone with a computer tablet. The seats are comfortable and supportive, and the view from the driver’s seat is enhanced thanks to the slightly higher seating position when compared to the S90 sedan. There’s also a large, panoramic sunroof that helps give the interior a light, airy feel.
The wagon profile actually makes the V90 look sleeker than the sedan. The concave shape of the grille and the detailing from the lighting elements to the use of brightwork match the level of elegance experienced on the inside. The Cross Country signals its off-road ability through the small front and rear skidplates, fender extensions over the wheel arches and the more aggressive rocker panels. If you don’t want to look as macho, you can opt for body-colored flares instead of the matte finish. An integrated roof-rack system is both good-looking and functional, like the car itself.
In addition to the all-wheel drive and off-road friendly features like the hill-descent control, the Volvo V90 Cross Country has a long list of standard features that includes Pilot Assist (which combines lane-keeping steering assist with adaptive cruise control), a blind-spot information system, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, driver-alert sensing, road sign information and lane-departure warning. Other upscale items that come standard include heated leather seats and steering wheel, a 12.3-inch driver display and 9-inch center screen with navigation, high-performance audio with 10 speakers, keyless entry and start and hands-free power tailgate.
There are two option packages, a $ 4,500 luxury group and a $ 1,950 convenience package. The former includes ventilated Nappa leather seating, backrest massage, leather upholstery on the dash and door panels, heated rear seats, 4-zone climate control, power-operated load cover and body-colored doorsills, bumpers and fender flares. Convenience items include HomeLink, a compass in the rearview mirror, park-assist pilot, high-level interior illumination and a 360-degree surround-view camera. A rear air suspension is a $ 1,200 stand-alone option, as are a head-up display ($ 900), Bower & Wilkens premium sound system ($ 2,650), 20-inch alloy wheels ($ 750), rear booster seat cushions ($ 500) and metallic paint ($ 560).
There’s only one engine choice, a 2.0-liter gasoline 4-cylinder engine that benefits from both turbo- and supercharging. This twin forced-induction setup is designed to provide a highly responsive engine at both low- and high-rpm ranges. The transverse engine is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. 2.0-liter turbo/supercharged inline-4 316 horsepower @ 5,700 rpm 295 lb-ft of torque @ 2,200-5,400 rpm EPA city/highway fuel economy: 22/30 mpg (automatic) Note: Due to changes in EPA testing to more effectively reflect real-world conditions, some 2017 models show slightly lower fuel-economy scores than their 2016 versions.
The 2017 Volvo V90 Cross Country starts with a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $ 55,300 with $ 995 in destination charges. With all the available options and packages, a fully loaded model will take the price up over $ 65,000. That puts it about $ 10,000 higher than a loaded version of its nearest competitor, the smaller Audi A4 Allroad. If you’re looking for a traditional SUV, that puts you in the same neighborhood as a Mercedes-Benz GLE 4Motion and BMW X5. Do check the Fair Purchase Price to see what others in your area are paying for their new V90 Cross Country. While not the class leader in resale value, it's perfectly logical to expect the new V90 Cross Country to hold its value pretty well over time.
The Volvo V90 was resurrected in 2016 as a large versatile luxury wagon, packed with technology and oozing with style.
AB Volvo is a world-leading Swedish manufacturer of commercial vehicles, trucks, buses and construction equipment, drive systems for marine and industrial applications, aerospace components and financial services. But it did start out as a car manufacturer, founded by Assar Gabrielsson and Gustaf Larsson. The main purpose of the company was to produce the safest cars possible, following the death of Assar's wife in a car crash. The automaker was founded April 14, 1927 in the city of Gothenburg, as a spin-off from roller ball bearing maker SKF (Svenska Kullagerfabriken AB).
The name Volvo was originally registered in May 1915 as a separate company within SKF AB and as a registered trademark with the intention to be used for a special series of ball bearing, but this idea was only used for a short period of time and SKF decided to use "SKF" as the trademark for all its bearing products. Volvo AB began to function on the 10th of August 1926 when the SKF Sales Manager Assar Gabrielsson and Engineer Gustav Larson, started production of 10 prototypes and set up the car-manufacturing business Volvo AB within SKF group. Volvo AB was introduced at the Stockholm stock exchange in 1935 and SKF then decided to sell its shares in the company.
The first series produced Volvo automobile, called 'ÖV4' left the factory on 14 April 1927. Just 996 cars were produced between 1927-1929. 'ÖV4' was replaced by model PV651 in April 1929. Its success on the market helped Volvo buy out their engine manufacturer and thus become a serious car producer. By 1931, it was already returning its first dividend to shareholders.
After it reached a production milestone of 10,000 cars in May 1932, Volvo then targeted a new demographic segment, aiming to make their cars cheaper, a car “for the people”. This was going to be the PV 51 which came out in 1936 which was a smaller version of the PV36.
The PV444 was one of the most significant cars of the war era, the first true small car, a mixture of American flair and European size, it would become a resonant success and the best sold model throughout the 60s. The P1800 was Volvo's first sports car, made in the early 60s and it was so popular that it was featured in the hit TV series “The Saint” starring Roger Moore.
Safety and quality were still paramount for Volvo and that's why the 240 series which replaced the 140 had even more safety innovations in that department, like crumple zones, rear facing child seats and collapsible steering columns. Together with the smaller 340 models, they would make for most of the sales during the 70s and 80s for Volvo.
The 90s brought with them a totally new model, the 850, a front-wheel drive, executive car which won numerous awards for handling and safety features. By now, productions costs were mounting up and Volvo was one of the few independent producers out there, after a proposed deal with Renault fell through in 1993. This forced the company to seek new marketing strategies and that's how the sleeker S40 and V40 models were introduced in the factory's production line.
The new models brought a breath of fresh air, just like the C70 coupe and convertible, which are responsible for revitalizing the Volvo image while keeping in tune with the old tradition of safety and quality.
The buyout of Volvo Cars was announced on January 28, 1998. Until then, Volvo Cars was owned by AB Volvo (the commercial vehicles group). In the following year acquisition for Volvo Cars by American car maker Ford Motor Co. was completed at a price of $ 6.45 billion USD. Volvo used the funds from the sale of the automobile division to finance the purchase of Scania, another leading Swedish truck manufacturer, but the deal was stopped for competition reasons by the European Union. Instead Volvo acquired the commercial vehicles division of French Renault and the American truck manufacturer Mack Trucks (which was owned by Renault at the time). As part of the arangement to buy Renault Trucks, the former parent company, Renault, bought in turn 20 percent in shares in AB Volvo. Among the reasons why Volvo took the initiative to sell the automobile manufacturing was the increasing development costs for new car models, coupled with the fact that it was a relatively small producer. The strategy was instead to grow as a truck manufacturer where it had a stronger market position.
Volvo Automotive's motto is "Volvo for life" attributed to the reliability and safety of their cars. Volvo means "I roll" in Latin. Combined with their company symbol, (commonly mistaken for the male symbol) which actually stands for iron ore and according to the company, represents "Rolling Strength".

"Great alternative to a SUV"
I just bought a brand new 2018 V90CC leftover. I got about 28% discount from list. So it’s a huge bang for the buck. The car is smooth as silk. I wasn’t looking for a car quite this large but then again it’s only 4 inches longer than an Outback. The level of safety features is unparalleled. Anything you can think of is in it. I have the base engine and it’s fine. It’s no world beater but on the highway I’ve gotten 30 mpg. I had a Tiguan they never got close to that. It’s extremely roomy, stylish, comfortable and versatile. I’ve moved furniture, towed a trailer, gotten groceries, mulch, took out my kayaks and bikes. It’s great without having to use a step ladder to put stuff up on the roof. I’m 6’3 and the rear has room for me with my drivers seat in position for me! What’s not to like. Beautiful, stylish, wonderful driving car rather than driving a box on wheels aka an SUV!

"Big Upgrade from XC70 - Great Luxury Wagon"
Replaced a 2010 XC-70 T6 with 2017 V90 Cross Country. Power train with 316 hp engine and 8 speed transmission is vast improvement in driveability enhanced by ability to select and customize drive modes For daily commute in stop-and-go traffic, standard comfort mode is fine. On highway, I prefer dynamic engine setting (with higher transmission shift points) but medium effort steering. Took a while figuring out how to custom configure and have it auto-load profile. Forgiving suspension, good cornering with excellent emergency handling for a high ground clearance heavyweight, enormous sun/moonroof, front seat ergonomics, upgraded B&W surround sound system, environmental controls, and active safety systems are all simply outstanding. Electronic touch screen interface could be more intuitive and sometimes is slow to load. Apple car play with iPhone integration has been unmitigated pleasure. Only significant concern was cost of maintenance and repair so purchased an extended warranty. Only change I would make is auto-downshift when changing into manual gear selector mode like on Audi.Read less

"Great car, elegant design"
I wanted a vehicle to tow my boat, but I didnt want a SUV -- too bloated, tall and awkward. I found the V90 Cross Country. With the tow package, this vehicle fit the bill. I took delivery in Sweden. I drove the car around the land where it was born for a couple of weeks. Then they shipped it to the States. I have had it since December. The car is stable, has great visibility, handles well, it has AWD, is comfortable, elegant and well made. The ground clearance of 8.3 inches is a plus. I was concerned about the small block engine, but it turns out to be a non-issue. With the blowers on this engine, the AWD and the beautiful 8 speed transmission, the engine has plenty of power. The Sensus system takes some getting used to, but it becomes indispensable. There is a profile feature built in that allows one to permanently turn off the annoying start stop feature, for example. I have found the navigation system to be spot on. I have not had any electronics issues. I am more than pleased I purchased the V90 CC. Plan to keep this one for quite awhile. I may buy another Volvo in the near future.Read less
