volvo has unveiled the second mid-term facelift of the xc90. the new design not only has a design similar to the electric car model ex90, but also has improvements in many aspects such as quietness and ride quality.

volvo xc90 has undergone a second facelift, and the front face design has changed a lot, which is very different from the first facelift that focused on changes in the power system.

the vertical "t"-shaped lights, known as "thor's hammer", have changed. the design of the daytime running lights has been changed to open-eye corners. on this basis, the headlights are designed to be thinner and connected to the grille.

the previous vertical grille in the center has undergone a new change. according to the direction of the volvo logo, a diagonal grille is adopted. the existing inward-concave grille is flush with the outer surface.

the bumper design has also undergone a more three-dimensional change. air intakes have been added on both sides of the bumper, which is beneficial to aerodynamics and the area of ​​the air intake at the bottom of the bumper has been expanded. through various changes, the new xc90 is closer to an electric car than an internal combustion engine car.

there is almost no change on the side of the car body, with the addition of newly designed wheels, and no other differences.

the taillights are darkened at the rear, giving it a more luxurious and deep feel. the exhaust port is hidden under the bumper, letting everyone know its determination to transform to electrification.

the interior also reflects the latest style, with the existing 9-inch vertical infotainment display screen expanded to 11.2 inches. in line with this, the design of the left and right air outlets of the display screen has been completely renewed, and the dashboard has also been newly polished to convey a more three-dimensional feeling. fabric material is used on the dashboard to show the concept of environmental protection. the bottom of the dashboard is wrapped with metal decoration to emphasize the sense of luxury.

although the steering wheel buttons are the same, the detailed design has also been revised.

the start knob on the top of the center console is the same as the previous configuration. instead, the wireless charging pad that used to occupy the cup holder position has been moved to the bottom, expanding the cup holder space.

the sound system has also changed. the bowers & wilkins sound system has been upgraded to the bowers & wilkins high fidelity sound system. in conjunction with this, the speaker coverage area has also been increased, making it gorgeous.

in addition, the functionality of the ambient light has been enhanced to create a more advanced atmosphere indoors.

the powertrain remains unchanged. it is divided into gasoline mild hybrid b5 and b6, and plug-in hybrid t8. the dual-plug hybrid configuration is based on wltp, and the driving range on a single charge is about 70 kilometers. the electric vehicle version is in charge of ex90. no changes related to power, fuel efficiency and exhaust emissions have been disclosed.

the ride quality has been improved. volvo emphasized that a new damper that adjusts the damping pressure according to the road conditions has been installed. it is foreseeable that a frequency-sensitive damping system is installed.

the optional air suspension can monitor 500 times per second to improve the ride quality and driving safety. if equipped with air suspension, it can be lowered by 20 mm or raised by 40 mm on ordinary ground, and can be flexibly responded to in various driving environments.

in addition, various sound-absorbing and sound-isolating materials are reinforced throughout the vehicle body, which actively reduces the noise generated by the road and wind.

at the same time, volvo withdrew its plan to become a 100% electric car brand by 2030. this is about three years after the above goal was proposed in 2021. instead, he proposed a plan to fill 90% of new cars with pure electric vehicles (bev) and plug-in hybrid vehicles (phev) by that year, and the remaining 10% with mild hybrid vehicles (mhev).

the move is in response to north american and european union (eu) tariffs on chinese-made electric vehicles, and also foreshadows plans to move its chinese production base to belgium.
