Volvo XC90 T5 Entry Level Car, to be Introduced in The U.S.

Kuala Lumpur: After marking a leading position in most of the geographical boundaries, the all-new entry level Volvo XC90 is soon going to be launched in the U.S, which is labeled as T5, adding to the segment of T6 and T8 models. Expected to be available for sales from April, the entry level SUV is fitted with a 2.0 litre Turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. Volvo XC90 T5 churns an impressive power of 250 hp and returns an amazing maximum torque of 350 Nm. The amazing crossover SUV is equipped with an 8-speed transmission with an optional all-wheel or 4-wheel driving preference, enabling the SUV to use equal torque on all the wheels. The XC90 T5 is priced as $44,945 with the additional facility of power alterable seats and an LCD digital display unit of 12.3 inches. Some of the amazing traits of 2016 Volvo XC90 T5 are the 360-degree rear view camera, LED headlights, adaptive cruise control and 18-inch alloy wheels.

Volvo has played a safe part in providing an intact SUV for its customers and this new model comes refined with few unique features from all the sides. Volvo XC90 gives a neck-to-neck competition to its massive rivals like the Audi Q7, BMW X5 and the Mercedes-Benz M-Class. The latest design philosophy of 2016 Volvo T5 has overshadowed the looks of the dashboard of the older model. It has followed the tradition of Volvo cars in the best way, by endowing exceptionally alluring details in and out. As quoted by the CEO Hakan Samuelsson, “The SUV is the new heartland of Volvo.”

Perfect for driving over the off-road terrains, the XC90 T5 has an amazing capability to maintain the safety of the driver as well as the passengers. In the segment of XC90, the other variant Volvo XC90 T8 has been recently granted the 'Green car of the year' award. The Swedish carmaker is concerned about creating environment-friendly technology along with no compromise in the safety, performance, quality and market value of the cars.

Volvo has been synonymous to providing state-of-the-art technology and in the queue of achievements, the Volvo XC90 has also received the Top Safety Pick+ award by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), providing one of the best safety measures in severe conditions as well. The time is not so far when the Volvo XC90 T5 will reach the peak in being one of the best SUVs produced in Malaysia.
