Volvo has released the first images with the 2015 XC90, showing the interior cabin ahead of a full reveal programmed for August.
Described as having the most luxurious interior ever designed by Volvo, the XC90 cabin adopts an uncluttered configuration as most of the buttons have been replaced by a large tablet-like touchscreen display, similar to what Tesla is offering in the Model S. The vehicle will be offered with a seven-seat configuration along with a gear lever manufactured from crystal glass by Swedish glass maker Orrefors. In addition, it will also boast diamond-cut controls for the volume and start/stop.
The all-new Volvo XC90 will combine soft leather upholstery with wood trim, aluminum inserts and other upscale materials while the instrument cluster appears to be fully digital. A four-zone climate control system will be offered along with "state-of-the-art" voice recognition and Apple's CarPlay system integration. The third row of seats will be able to carry passengers that are up to 1.7 meters tall and each passenger inside will have its own stowage space.
Volvo has announced the next-gen XC90 will be fully revealed in August, with production set to kick off early next year at the Torslanda plant in Gothenburg, Sweden.
Press Release
First look at the new interior
Full external reveal will be made in August
One of the most anticipated car launches of recent years – Volvo’s all-new XC90 – begins today. Volvo Car Group (Volvo Cars) has created a launch programme that will unveil the car from the inside out, meaning that it will start by disclosing the many new interior features of the car and culminate in the full external reveal in August.
The original XC90 was launched in 2002, and it revolutionised the SUV segment with its combination of space, versatility and safety. It went on to become a global sales phenomenon. As will be made clear in coming weeks, the all-new XC90 will also be a transformational vehicle in its market segment.
As a taste of what is to come, today, Volvo Cars provides the first glimpse of the interior of the car.
The new interior is the most luxurious to have been designed for a Volvo, taking its inspiration from the country of Volvo’s birth, Sweden, which has a global reputation for integrating the latest technology with design that is clean, beautiful and crafted from the finest materials.
“The most striking feature is a tablet-like touch screen control console, which forms the heart of an all-new in-car control system,” said Thomas Ingenlath, Senior Vice President Design of Volvo Cars. This system is virtually button free and represents an entirely new way for drivers to control their car and access a range of Internet-based products and services.
The new XC90’s interior combines materials such as soft leather and wood with handcrafted details including a gear-lever made of crystal glass from Orrefors, the famous Swedish glass maker, and diamond-cut controls for the start/stop button and volume control.
“These details are designed to become the jewels of the interior. They add a bit of exclusive playfulness rather than pure functionality,” said Robin Page, Volvo Cars’s Interior Design Director.
The all-new XC90 is the first Volvo to use the company’s Scalable Product Architecture (SPA), which creates a far wider range of design possibilities, improves driveability and permits the inclusion of the latest safety features and connected in-car technologies, while at the same time increasing interior space.
“Our new interior architecture is pure and uncluttered, while still radiating the sophisticated confidence and formality that luxury SUV customers expect,” said Peter Mertens, Senior Vice President Research and Development of Volvo Cars.
The story of the latest advancements within safety and interior air quality will be released in late July/early August, while the reveal of the technology highlights, including chassis and powertrains, will start in mid-July and continue throughout the summer until the exterior launch at the end of August.
“The customer and the customer experience are at the heart of everything we do at Volvo Cars. We don’t do technology for technology’s sake – everything in a Volvo is there to make our cars safer and more pleasurable to drive,” said Alain Visser, Senior Vice President, Marketing, Sales and Customer Service of Volvo Cars.
