Globally, Volvo has received over 57,000 orders for the all-new XC90 and the booking record conveys that over 76 percent of customers have opted for the top-of-the-line inscription trim that comes loaded with all the luxury and safety features.

Volvo further stated that the success of the model in India will make way for newer and exciting cars to be launched in the following years.
Adding another feather to its cap, the second generation Volvo XC90 was recently awarded five stars at the Euro NCAP tests and also turned out to be the first model from any manufacturer to score 100 percent in the Safety Assist category. Doing a quick round up of specifications, the new XC90 draws power from a 2.0-litre twin-turbo four-cylinder D5 diesel engine churning out 225 HP and 470 Nm of torque, paired to an 8-speed automatic transmission with AWD as standard.
