The 2016 Volvo XC90 has already made a profound statement in the automotive world. The First Edition of this model sold out in just 47 hours on Friday Sept. 5 from an online store that contained only 1,927 vehicles.
That's why we wanted to let you know about all the details of what makes this all-new midsize luxury crossover SUV so special and what you should know before choosing another vehicle over the 2016 Volvo XC90.
First Edition Makes a Great First Impression
The 2016 Volvo XC90 First Edition is a unique SUV inside and out. Some of the exterior highlights include uniquely numbered tread plates (from 1 to 1,927 of course), 8-spoke 21" Inscription wheels and a sleek Onyx Black color that draws the eye and complements the interior.
Inside, there's a 19-speaker Bowens & Wilkens audio system, a touchscreen resembling an iPad housed in a Charcoal leather dashboard and upscale accoutrements including Linear Walnut wood inlays and Amber nappa leather seating for up to 7. The added conveniences for the seating is as follows: power operation, heating and ventilation for the front row, heating for the two outer seats in the second row and power operation for both third-row seats.
City Safety auto braking comes equipped in the First Edition, along with world-first safety technologies including a run-off road protection feature and auto brake at intersection capability.
Volvo XC90 R-Design: A Sign of Things to Come
