    Volvo XC90 [2021-2022] B6 Inscription Review

    Overall Score

    7.5

    / 10
    Is the new Volvo XC90 the ultimate family SUV you should consider? Or would you be better off choosing one of its rivals? That’s what we shall be exploring in this review.

    Engine and Performance

    7

    / 10
    Right Front Three Quarter

    All Volvos sold now are either petrol, hybrid or electric powered and the XC90 we have here is a hybrid, meaning it gets a 2-litre, four cylinder motor that’s paired to a small electric motor. All in, the system makes 300bhp and 420Nm of torque, figures that may seem less impressive on paper compared all its rivals from Germany but it’s a different story on the road. Although down on power, not to mention engine capacity, the XC90’s drivetrain is very refined, shows good urge and has a rather exciting power delivery – basically it uses turbocharging, supercharging and the electric motor’s boost to deliver peak power and as a result, there is some lag at low revs but as soon as you hit 3,000rpm the build-up in momentum is nice and the whole drivetrain remains reasonably quiet, too. The automatic gearbox is the same as before and it adds to the comfortable drive performance, delivering creamy smooth upshifts and downshifts.

    Ride and Handling

    7.5

    / 10
    Left Front Three Quarter

    On the road, be it city, outstation or highway, the XC90 is a pleasant SUV to drive. It’s got a lot of clearance (aided by the air suspension’s ability to raise the car considerably), all-wheel drive and chunky rubber meaning it’s good for rough terrain, too. While there is more noticeable road noise from the tyres than you would expect, you can always shut it out with the phenomenal Bowers and Wilkins audio system. Secondly, there is just a tad bit wind noise from around the A-pillar, that too at really high speeds. In terms of ride quality, it handles road undulations and imperfections much better than the XC60 which we drove recently. There is none of the excessive up and down movement that we experienced in the latter and in fact, the ride here is plush, silent and the whole car remains flat. Overall, the adaptive air suspension genuinely affects the XC90’s demeanour for the better.

    Interior Space and Quality

    / 10
    Dashboard

    Inside, the dominant black theme for the materials and vertically stacked elements remind you that you are in a Volvo before you even settle down in the front seat. The general look and feel is that of a thoroughly modern and richly appointed cabin. The whole dash, center console and the door pads are swathed in high grade leather/metal and the XC90 also gets wood and chrome inserts to break the monotony. The main display that dominates proceedings is super responsive and straight away feels familiar thanks to its tablet-like orientation.    

    Rear Seats

    At just over 4.9m long, 2m across and with a wheelbase of nearly 3m, the XC90 is a big old beast and it shows in the amount of space you get inside. So, no surprise that there's heaps of space everywhere, with more than enough head, leg and shoulder room for the occupants in the first two rows. The cushioning and contouring on the seats is just spot on and in like all Volvos, these seats are designed with the help from Orthopaedic surgeons and without a doubt they are one of the best in the business. At the front you can also adjust the side bolsters, lumbar and squab to alter them further to your liking. Better still, Volvo has given lot of emphasis to the rear and it shows. The legroom is phenomenal at the back and shoulder room is in abundance, too. 

    Rear Seats

    Having said that, the third row seating remains best suited for short journeys because even though there is a fair amount of space, the seats themselves are small and comparatively flatter. 

    Features and Equipment

    7

    / 10
    Infotainment System

    There hasn’t been any change in the equipment list except you now get air cleaning tech inside the XC90. Basically, there is a sensor to measure PM 2.5 levels inside the cabin and the air cleaner then optimises the quality of air inside. Other notable features in here include a head-up display, panoramic sunroof, electric front seats, lots of leather everywhere and an even greater amount of safety tech. There’s automatic braking, lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, parking assist, road sign information, cross traffic alert, driver alert and rear collision warning besides the usual list of safety equipment. So what is it that you don’t get? Wireless Android Auto or Apple CarPlay and that’s a big surprise.

    Conclusion

    The new Volvo XC90 isn’t going to set your heartbeat racing as it’s a little underwhelming to drive but for all other intent and purposes, it’s a lovely, posh SUV. It’s supremely comfortable inside and gorgeous to look at (not something you say to describe a full-size SUV, I know). But Volvo is hoping that it’s base pricing and service packages would be enough to set the XC90 apart from some of its much newer rivals. Speaking of which, it’s priced at Rs 89.90 lakh ex-showroom which seems fair but what makes the deal somewhat better is that Volvo is also offering a 3 years’ service package (including regular maintenance plus wear and tear cost for 3 years) for Rs 75,000 plus taxes.

            2.0L Drive-E Turbocharged

            The official title given by the manufacturer in terms of the name of the engine, the displacement and the number of cylinders.

            A bigger displacement and more than four-cylinders generally indicate a performance-oriented engine.

          • Fuel Type
            Mild Hybrid(Electric + Petrol)

            All cars in India either run on petrol, diesel, CNG, LPG or electric power.

          • Max Power (bhp@rpm)
            300 bhp

            Gives a good idea of the performance of the vehicle under full thrust. A higher figure here usually means a higher top speed as well.

            Higher the power, the peppier the engine but it can also affect fuel economy.

          • Max Torque (Nm@rpm)
            420 Nm

            Relates to in-gear acceleration. A higher figure here means better roll-on acceleration, fewer gear shifts, and possibly better fuel efficiency.

            The more torque at low RPM range makes the engine feel more responsive. It also allows the engine to run smoothly without too many gear changes.

          • Drivetrain
            AWD

            Cars come with different drivetrain configurations depending on the segment.

            Front-wheel drive (FWD) is most common in mainstream cars while expensive cars or SUVs come with rear-wheel drive (RWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD).

          • Transmission
            Automatic (TC) - 8 Gears, Manual Override, Sport Mode

            Type of transmission used to transfer power from the engine to the wheels

            A manually operated transmission is the most popular type, thanks to its simplicity and low cost. Varied types of automatic transmissions are also available.

          • Emission Standard
            BS 6

            Set by the Indian Government, this governs the amount of air pollutants released by cars to make the atmosphere safer for humans.

          • Turbocharger / Supercharger
            Twin Turbo

            Manufacturers today offer turbochargers to boost engine power without affecting its fuel economy. Superchargers are found in more expensive cars but on the downside, they are not very efficient.

            Turbochargers are more effective but require plenty of heat management. Superchargers, meanwhile, offer linear bump in power but they are comparatively more complex.

          • Others
            Idle Start/Stop
        • Dimensions & Weight

          • Length
            4953 mm

            The length of the car decides its segment. In India, cars that are less than 4 metres in length enjoy reduced excise duties.

            Length
            • Length: 4953

            Longer length results in more cabin space. It also adds to straight line stability.

          • Width
            2008 mm

            A car's width is defined as its widest point without its mirrors.

            Width
            • Width: 2008

            Although more width gives you more lateral space inside the cabin, it makes the car more difficult to park in narrow spots.

            1776 mm

            The height of the car denotes the highest point of the vehicle from the ground.

            Height
            • Height: 1776

            Taller the car, the more headroom there is on offer inside the cabin. However, a tall boy stance also affect the car’s centre of gravity which can cause more body roll.

          • Wheelbase
            2984 mm

            The space between the center of the front and rear wheels.

            Wheelbase
            • Wheelbase: 2984

            The longer the wheelbase, the more space there is inside the cabin.

          • Ground Clearance

            Ground Clearance
            • Ground Clearance: 238

            If the car has a good amount of clearance, it’s easier for it to clear big speed breakers and overall, deal with bad roads.

          • Kerb Weight
            2962 kg

            The total weight of the vehicle with all the standard equipment and all the required fluids.

            530 litres

            Boot space defines how practical the car is with respect to how much luggage it can carry.

            Bootspace
            • Bootspace: 530

            A boot with a large and wide opening is ideal for loading heavy items. Additionally, a lower loading height also makes it easy to put in luggage.

          • Fuel Tank Capacity
            71 litres

            The official volume of the fuel tank of a car, usually denoted in litres.

          • Steering Type
            Power assisted (Electric)

            Almost all steering systems in cars today have an assist to help park them better at low speeds - these can be hydraulic, electro-hydraulic or electric.

          • Wheels
            Alloy Wheels

            The wheels used on cars are either steel rims with plastic wheel cover hub or alloy wheels on higher spec models or expensive cars.

            Razor cut, or diamond cut alloy wheel design are not getting more popular. Manufacturers usually offer these in top-end trim of their car models.

          • Spare Wheel
            Space Saver

            Important in a country with varying quality of roads, spare wheels ensure one doesn’t get stranded when one of the main tyres gets damaged.

        • More power needed for driving experience and more features for pleasure experience
          You should have given more power to the big-size SUV car, 2-liter engine is really so disappointing for a 7-seater large vehicle, you can add many extra features that are available in other cars.
