The Volvo XC90 was first introduced as a production model in 2002 at the North American International Auto Show after debuting the previous year as a concept car. This mid-size luxury crossover SUV shared a platform with Volvo's other large cars and was manufactured in Sweden until the end of 2014, when production moved to China and the car was renamed the XC Classic or XC90 Classic. The second generation XC90 was also introduced at the end of 2014.
The first generation of the XC90 was an instant success, winning the North American Car of the Year Award from Motor Trend in 2003 and holding the top seller position at Volvo for several years. It received a face lift for the 2007 model year, which debuted at the New York Auto Show in 2006. The front and rear were both updated, as well as the interior, and the engine was replaced with a slightly stronger one.
The XC90 received more upgrades and cosmetic refreshes in 2009, 2010, and 2012, including updates to the LED taillights and a larger Volvo logo. The XC90's first generation was awarded an IIHS Top Safety Pick award.
The second generation of the XC90 went on sale this year and has so far seen massive success. The new generation features a longer and wider body than its predecessor, allowing for more interior space and cargo in addition to the third row seating. The highest available trim level is a plug-in hybrid that produces 400 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque.
The upgradedXC90 is an improvement upon the previous generation in terms of design and features, but the XC90 has always been a fantastic luxury car with all the latest features since its introduction thirteen years ago.
