New Volvo XC90: Here are the prizes – DinSide

New Volvo XC90: Here are the prizes – DinSide

Your page A brand new Volvo XC90 is displayed for the international press tomorrow, Tuesday. The car is perhaps the most secretive new car ever, but already we’ve got hold of prices.

– You get the all-new Volvo XC90 from 725,000, and it is by no means a stripped model, says Øystein Herland, Managing Director of Volvo Cars in Norway.

For this price you get a well-equipped model with 190-horsepower diesel engine, eight-speed automatic, Kinetic grade, 7 seats, and of course, all-wheel drive. He adds that the cars are so well equipped that he actually expects to sell a good number of cars to just below the 750,000 kroner.

This is quite unusual in a market where customers often put on equipment for 200,000 dollars and more.

This makes Volvo XC90 inside

1927

The very first cars to be sold, however, is a full-featured version they call 1st Edition, which has a 225-horsepower diesel under the hood. For this shall the worldwide produced 1,927 copies, and the edition is priced at just 1 million in Norway.

(And why exactly 1927? Because it was in 1927 Ford sold his first car.)

These are only sold online, so before you sign on www.volvocars com, only to find a credit card. The sale of this edition Delayed. 16.00 Norwegian time on Wednesday 3 September.

By registering with name, address and card details, you will be charged a deposit of around 20,000 dollars. Then you can add a desire which production number you want.

Rumors are swirling that the number 1 is reserved for one of the most royal of Sweden, and Zlatan (Ibrahimovic – a football player, for the uninitiated), the obvious next owner of car number 10 . Nobody has yet confirmed these rumors, so it is allowed to try.

This is Volvo’s new model series

The high class

The new XC90 is no longer any doubt. Volvo wants right up to the top of the premium segment. That means competition called the BMW X5, Mercedes-Benz M-class, not to mention Audi Q7, coming soon in a new edition.

Almost all cars will be sold in Norway is going to be 7-seaters, though a 5-seater version available. On the back row should be able to sit comfortably if you are of a height up to 170 centimeters.

Volvo also believes that the new XC90 has stretched the meaning of “the world’s best car seat” to new heights, which we first get to try later.

Volvo in Norway expects to sell about 50-50 versions with 190 and 225 horsepower. Later, it also has a plug-in hybrid, which gets a CO2 emission of approximately 60 grams per kilometer. This is based on T8 petrol engine.

We headed a little about this, because we were very impressed with the diesel-hybrid technology developed for Volvo V60 diesel plug-in hybrid. Does that mean that this was a wrong focus? We will not speculate, but:

-Diesel hybrid is part of our history, says Herland.

He adds that the cost structure of the XC90 Plug-in will be attractive, and that he expects a good number of customers will choose precisely this – when it arrives. Later it will also get petrol versions.

Volvo XC90 will be officially launched in Norway on March 1. Negotiators opens booking possibilities in mid-October.

That means you should go for online shopping a 1st Edition if you’re really in a hurry.

The next chapter on the XC90 comes after midnight on Wednesday morning. When the car is also shown to the press here in Stockholm.
