BMW X5 rival gets makeover inspired by new electric EX90 sibling, along with suspension and powertrain upgrades
Volvo has heavily reworked the hugely successful XC90 large SUV with a number of “fundamental changes”, including design and technology updates inspired by its new electric EX90 sibling. The second-generation of the BMW X5 and Audi Q7 rival launched in 2014, since when the Swedish firm has sold close to a million examples of the large luxury SUV.
Extra sound insulation has been added to make the ride quieter, while Volvo has also revised the standard suspension of the car, with a new double-wishbone arrangement up front, an integral link at the rear and the use of Frequency Selective Damping. Volvo claims the new set up improves ride comfort and boosts stability. Electronically controlled air suspension will remain an option, using a system that scans the road 500 times a second.
