When one of those tiles is chosen it dominates the screen, but the other tiles are still present in a smaller form. The screen features four tiles for the various system controls. I really like the large, vertical layout, the swipe capability, and the quick reaction times.
I came away from the original press drive impressed with Volvo's new Sensus infotainment system, and my first extended experience with it confirmed my initial thoughts. Meh.Ģ016 Volvo XC90 T6 Inscription - Quick Drive, July 2015 In my 472 miles behind the wheel, I averaged 21.1 mpg, topping out at about 22 mpg when driving slightly above the 70 mph speed limit on a trip to Michigan. Given the XC90's blocky design, pure size, and nearly 4400-pound curb weight, that won't happen very often. The advantage of a forced-induction engine is best realized when the turbocharger or supercharger aren't in use. Nonetheless, XC90 buyers won't find the power wanting.įuel economy, however, it just mediocre.
On the road, the four provides willing power from a stop, though midrange passing response isn't as immediate as in the BMX X5 with the 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six. Both turbocharged and supercharged, the XC90's 2.0-liter four spins out 316 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, putting it in line with the six-cylinders offered by the competition. One of Volvo's biggest hurdles will be convincing luxury buyers that a four-cylinder engine can power a luxury crossover. In my opinion, that's a hallmark of good design. A departure from other recent Volvos, it effectively makes them look old and outdated. The 2016 XC90 could be accused of being boxy and upright, but I think it looks elegant and is a just as luxurious as the Mercedes-Benz GLE and BMW X5. Even though I don't think looks have anything to do with the quality of a vehicle, they do play a major role in buyers' purchase decisions.
