The 2016 Volvo Xc90 is The Suv That Will Make You Love Suvs Part 2

The 2016 Volvo XC90 Is The SUV That Will Make You Love SUVs part 2 But the Volvo doesn’t look cheap. It doesn’t look like it’s been over-preparing for the next Olympics track and field competition. It looks classy, and it’s down to the little design elements, like Thor’s hammer sitting in the headlights. It doesn’t feel like Volvo started out with a regular, genteel sedan, and then started yelling for more more. Everything’s well-proportioned, and because it is an SUV the sheetmetal does give a sense of muscularity under the sheetmetal. But it’s all muscularity without vulgarity. It’s the best-looking SUV you can get, bar none. Step inside the Volvo and you’re greeted with vast swaths of class. The leather is tanned a deep brown, but not the weird orangey-chestnut that was all the rage back in the days of the original Ford F-150 King Ranch. Leather covers damn near everything, and when it doesn’t, it’s because something even nicer is there. A crystal gear selector here, matte-finished wood there. It’s not the sort of thing that screams ostentatious wealth, which many a $60,000+ vehicle can do, but it does scream, in a weirdly quiet way, that “Yeah, I’ve done alright for myself.”. But no way in hell is this the traditional “professor’s car” Volvo of old. Not many professors can afford something this nice. Volvo says that they spent five years developing the XC90, and seven years on the seats, and I believe them. They seem to be adjustable in all sorts of ways, and they’re ridiculously comfortable. If you can’t get comfortable in one of these seats, the fault lies with you and the poor choices you’ve made in your life that have all led up this point. Or you have a herniated disc or whatever, that’s between you and your doctor. Either one. But even regular interior stuff, like “speakers” and “glass” seem to be features. Alright, so these speakers (the optional 19-speaker 1,400 watt, yes, one thousand, four hundred watt Bowers & Wilkins system) and this piece of glass (the roof) are indeed optional features. But not every option in every car feels special. These do. And yeah, Volvo isn’t the first to have big glass and big speakers that look pretty. But it’s nice when cars do have those things. Oh, and the neat little detail work doesn’t stop at the car door, it goes inside as well. Check out that neat little spider!. You’d be forgiven for thinking that surely a three-row Volvo SUV, made out of nothing but the heaviest cast iron in Volvo tradition, would weigh somewhere around a million pounds. But it’s actually not that bad, at only 4,293 pounds, partially because it’s not actually made out of cast iron, but mostly a bunch of boron steel alloys.
