The New Volvo V90 Cross-country Wagon All terrain

The 2017 Volvo V90 Cross Country comes standard with advanced safety systems, such as lane keeping assist, and connected dashboard electronics with support for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. All-wheel drive, an economical engine and practical interior space round out this wagon




The new Volvo v90 cross country is one the best looking wagon you can find right now the design is quite different that makes it look like an SUV. It's an attempt to bring the wagon back into the market.
What are the features of the new V90 cross country, firstly is the standard AWD. Volvo's advanced AWD system is a 5th generation AWD. it's a front wheel drive base system that distributes torque to the rear, unless or until the system detects front wheel slip it's a 100% front wheel drive. So its more of front wheel drive but only engages the rear wheels when needed.


The v90 is really well behaved on the road. The AWD constantly monitors the wheel speed, it uses the brake to limit power at the wheel with the low grip and delivers it to the wheel that grips without affecting the brake itself. that's triple action stopping the car distributing the power.


The v90 has a unique software that is specific to the cross country, there's an off road mode which includes the lighter sterering softer throttle response and hill descend modes good for those slippery downhills.

Another features is that it uses a double wishbone front suspension giving it a superior front grip as it controls the steering angle and the alignment. And the rear wheel has an adjustable air suspension for higher loads. They have the proper geometry for the increased ride height.

Driving on comfort mode makes the car a bit lighter than its 4200 pounds weight, the steering is responsive with the control sensors, there's a sense of body structure.


 The look is as expensive as it feels. Starting from the front from the distance between the front panel wall and the top of the hood very narrow and profiled.

The interior design is realy modern and luxury that pleases the eye.

Firm but comfortable seats wrapped in fine-looking leather and a Bowers and Wilkins stereo help the V90 Cross Country reach Volvo's premium aspirations, as does the minimalist approach to dashboard design. Pushing towards the leading edge of technology, this example came with a high-resolution head-up display, adaptive cruise control and self-steering within a lane, online destination search, and a digital instrument cluster. As an extra edge of convenience, the dashboard electronics support Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

The engine is 2.0 liter 4 cylinder forced induced engine that is supercharged and turbocharged to 316 HP. The engine Is not really big for a full sized wagon but the boosting helps provide the adequate power needed.

The transmission uses an 8 speed gear box that is very quick in selection, feeling like a race car, it doesn’t waste time or the engine revs.


The v90 wagon is a realy capable choice, it's gat better handling, more efficiency, more performance and a more active safety.

To conclude we can say the v90 is more elegant better handling and a safer alternative to the SUVs with a commendable fuel economy.
