Volvo Cars' all-new XC90 will be the world’s most powerful and cleanest SUV• All-wheel drive, seven seats and ultra-low emissions of around 60g/km

• Up to 400 hp and 640 Nm of torque

• New Volvo-developed Twin Engine technology

Volvo Cars' all-new XC90 will offer an unrivalled combination of power and clean operation when it is launched later this year. The all-wheel drive seven seater offers drivers up to 400 horsepower but with carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions of around 60 g/km (NEDC driving cycle). There has never been an SUV offering this level of power this cleanly.

“There are no compromises when you drive an all-new XC90,” said Peter Mertens, Senior Vice President Research and Development of Volvo Car Group. “In the past you could either have power or low CO2 emissions. But with the all-new XC90 you can have both.”

The new XC90 offers a range of Drive-E engine options, all of which provide an outstanding combination of performance and fuel-efficiency. The main distinguishing feature of the Drive-E engine range is that they are all four-cylinder engines.

“With our new Drive-E powertrains, we have created a family of intelligent petrol and diesel engines with power curves that give exciting driveability at the same time as delivering world-beating fuel economy,” added Dr. Mertens. “With seven people in the new XC90, carbon dioxide emissions per person and kilometre are outstandingly low."

The CO2 performance of the all-new XC90 will reinforce Volvo Cars' leadership when it comes to bringing more environmentally-sound technologies to market. According to figures monitored by European car industry association ACEA, Volvo Car Group delivered an industry-leading reduction of average fleet emissions by 8.4 per cent from 2012 to 2013.

Twin Engine technology

Volvo Cars has made it possible for a four-cylinder engine to provide all the driving pleasure associated with a much larger engine and do so far more efficiently and cleanly. Drive-E engines will over time be introduced across Volvo’s entire range.

For the all-new XC90, the top of the range ‘Twin Engine’ will carry the badge ‘T8’ and be a plug-in electric car, hybrid car and high-performance car rolled into one.

Normal driving is conducted in the default hybrid mode. This utilises a two-litre, four-cylinder supercharged and turbocharged Drive-E petrol engine that powers the front wheels and an 80 hp (60 kW) electric motor that drives the rear wheels.

It uses the supercharger to fill in the bottom end of the power range to give the engine a big, naturally-aspirated feel, while the turbocharger kicks in when the airflow builds up. The electric motor on the rear wheels provides immediate torque.

But at the push of a button the driver can switch to quiet and emission-free city driving on pure electric power where the range will be around 40 kilometres, and then, when needed, immediately revert back to the combined capacity of the petrol engine and electric motor, with its combined output of around 400 hp and 640 Nm of torque.

Full range of other engine options

The Volvo XC90 range also includes the D5 twin turbo diesel engine with 225 hp, 470 Nm, best in class fuel consumption of around 6l/100 km and the D4 turbo diesel engine with 190 hp, 400 Nm and a fuel consumption of around 5l/100 km.

The range also offers two petrol engine options. The first is a T6 turbo engine with supercharger and turbo with 320 hp and a maximum torque of 400 Nm. The second is a T5 with 254 hp and 350 Nm.

Not only is there no compromise in terms of performance or efficiency, but Volvo Cars' new Scalable Product Architecture (SPA) chassis technology also allows for far more flexibility inside the car. Other carmakers have struggled to combine the bulk of a battery pack with a luxurious and spacious interior, something that Volvo has managed to overcome.

“Since our new SPA technology is designed from the start to accommodate electrification technologies, the Twin Engine installation does not compromise luggage or passenger space,” said Dr. Mertens.

Sicché il tunnel è occupato dalle batterie? Fiiiicus!

[RiRino]

Ma arriveranno motori sopra i 4 cilindri?Io al posto del 2.0 turbo+compressore da 320cv avrei preferito un 6cil turbo,come fa la concorrenza.

A quanto pare, miracolo della nuova piattaforma modulare, dato che su V60 non c'eran riusciti

Non essendoci albero di trasmissione ed auto alta, ce le hanno ficcate in mezzo

Ma arriveranno motori sopra i 4 cilindri?Io al posto del 2.0 turbo+compressore da 320cv avrei preferito un 6cil turbo,come fa la concorrenza.

A suo tempo si diceva che non ci saranno frazionamenti superiori ai e cilindri

Io non lo vedo proprio male, ma io lo vedo in ottica europea... Ma in ottica USA???

Male:no:,Imho...soprattutto su auto con un certo prestigio/costo

Io non lo vedo proprio male, ma io lo vedo in ottica europea... Ma in ottica USA???

Come prestazioni assolute molto probabilmente no,come raffinatezza,sia di guida che di immagine un 6cil sarebbe stato molto meglio imho(stesse critiche sollevate su BMW)...in USA la faccenda è ancora più ostica che da noi.

Interessante la soluzione delle batterie nel tunnel centrale,come già si era visto su Prius+

Volvo XC60 Plug-in Hybrid Concept ? a unique blend of gasoline and electric power

[...]

The concept car carries a “T8” badge, which emphasizes the combined 350 horsepower of the high-performance four-cylinder engine and the electric motor. This moves the car into territory previously occupied solely by eight-cylinder engines.

Gli interni sono migliorati in modo esagerato.

Se la linea esterna fosse confermata ( in pratica se fosse come nella foto in cui sembra vagamente quel suv mazda ), vorrei avere a tutti i costi 100.000 euro per andare a prenderla...

Una volvo di serie a 100mila €? Buon dio angelo...io sono arrivato ad 85mila € con una S80 T6 Geatronic AWD Summum+Insciption+altri pacchetti Winter e TUTTI gli optional disponibili. Che gli vuoi caricare per altri 15mila €?
