The Volvo XC90 is a mid-size luxury crossover SUV. It is based on the Volvo P2 platform, shared with the Volvo S80 and other larger Volvo cars. It is Volvo's top-selling vehicle in the United States accounting for roughly 25% of the company's sales there. It is also Volvo's best selling model worldwide with 85,994 cars sold in 2005. It was launched at the same time as the Infiniti FX and Porsche Cayenne.
A new Volvo V8 engine was added in 2005. This 4.4 L Yamaha V8 engine produces 311 hp (232 kW) and 325 ft·lbf (441 Nm) of torque. The XC90 V8 will be priced at just over US$45,000 and it is expected that more than 15,000 would be sold per year.
The XC90 won the North American Truck of the Year award and Motor Trend magazine's Sport/Utility of the Year for 2003.
The XC90 will be updated for 2007 with a subtly-restyled front and rear, and a more luxurious interior. The 235 hp 3.2 L SI6 straight-6 engine replaces the 208 hp B524T2 straight-5 in the base model for the US market. The 2007 XC90 debuted in April 2006 at the New York Auto Show.
The XC90 is produced at Volvo's Torslanda plant in Sweden.
