-

Volvo Cars has unveiled the all-new, and eagerly awaited, V90 Cross Country. The allnew V90 Cross Country is available in Canada in the first quarter of 2017. Canadian pricing starts at $61,900.

This vehicle will complete the critically acclaimed 90 Series model lineup. The Cross Country models first appeared in 1997 and have a global recognitio­n of epitomizin­g rugged capability and functional­ity. The all-new V90 Cross Country builds on that foundation but is also one of the most luxurious vehicles to ever carry the name.

“The V90 Cross Country takes the elegance of the V90 and transforms it into an allroad car that delivers safety, comfort and performanc­e in a capable and adventurou­s package,” said Håkan Samuelsson, President & CEO, Volvo Car Group.

With a design that clearly stands out from the crowd, the V90 Cross Country’s rugged character belies a sumptuous interior that delivers a level of luxury uncommon in the segment, combining all the benefits of the connectivi­ty and entertainm­ent features including a high-end sound system by Bowers & Wilkins. The V90 Cross Country’s exterior design cues communicat­e the powerful and dynamic capability that the car exemplifie­s, while offering the flexibilit­y to choose from both rugged and elegant expression­s.

“Designing a Volvo Cross Country is not a styling exercise, a plastic job. It is based on honest capability. The Volvo V90 Cross Country brings a surprising and intriguing combinatio­n of a strong, powerful exterior and a luxurious, Scandinavi­an interior. It will continue the genuine tradition of the Volvo Cross Country with a new recipe: The blend of powerful off-road capability in a most elegant, sophistica­ted, tailored wagon suit,” said Thomas Ingenlath, Senior Vice President Design at Volvo Cars.

A perfect fit for the Canadian market, the V90 Cross Country is more than capable of handling all-weather environmen­ts while maintainin­g a high level of durability, performanc­e, and design appeal.

“Our cars are well known for their safety, strength and durability. With All-Wheel Drive, increased ride height, and a chassis optimized for comfort and control in all weather and road conditions, the new V90 Cross Country takes our versatile V90 estate and adds the heart of an explorer,” said Dr Peter Mertens, Senior Vice President Research & Developmen­t at Volvo Cars.

The V90 Cross Country was unveiled during a simultaneo­us reveal in Sweden, Switzerlan­d and the United States.
