2010 Volvo XC90
2010 Volvo XC90 - Well-designed and well-equipped, the XC90 will drive you to explore life’s adventures. And thankfully, a fuel-efficient engine will mean less trips to the pump and less strain on the environment. Transport up to seven people almost anywhere – safely and luxuriously, with the help of great features like Instant Traction AWD and optional Blind Spot Information System (BLIS).
IIHS Awards Volvo with Top Safety Picks
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety is an independent, nonprofit, scientific, and educational organization dedicated to reducing deaths and injuries from crashes on highways. Each year the IIHS conducts testing on new vehicles to determine the safest cars in a range of classifications and awards them with a Top Safety Pick rating.
The Volvo C30, S80, XC60 and XC90 have all been recognized as Top Safety Picks in 2010; four of only 27 cars awarded in 2010. This is a great accomplishment when considering the stringency of new IIHS requirements and the relatively small size of the Volvo line-up.
With an added roof strength test requirement, earning a Top Safety Pick award in 2010 was more difficult than ever. The roof strength test measures protection in the event of a rollover: a kind of accident that kills over 9,000 people in passenger vehicles each year. In order to be eligible for the award, a roof must withstand a force of four times the vehicle’s weight, a test that goes far beyond minimum safety standards. The IIHS estimates that the risk of serious or fatal injury is 50 percent less for vehicles with a good roof-crush rating.
Important: Frontal crash test ratings can be compared only among vehicles of similar weight.

The IIHS estimates that the risk of serious or fatal injury is 50 percent less for vehicles with a good roof-crush rating.
To earn the coveted Top Safety Pick for 2010, vehicles were required to earn a good rating in front, side and rear crash-tests, the new roof strength test, and be outfitted with electronic stability control. Many vehicles previously awarded are no longer represented on this year’s list, but the Volvo C30, S80 and XC90 continue to meet the tightened criteria with the addition of our newest member, the 2010 XC60.

Test details:
The Volvo XC90 was introduced in the 2003 model year.
Restraints/dummy kinematics — Dummy movement was well controlled. During rebound, the head hit the A-pillar and the roof rail.
Injury measures — Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity. Head acceleration from the A-pillar/roof rail hit was low.
Left to right:
- Action shot taken during the frontal offset crash test.
- The dummy's position in relation to the steering wheel and instrument panel after the crash test indicates that the driver's survival space was maintained well.
- The XC90's head restraints have good geometry, meaning they are high and close to the back of an occupant's head. Moreover, the seatback is specially designed to recline slightly in low-speed rear impacts to minimize the possibility of whiplash injuries.
- Intrusion into the driver's space was minimal, and all leg and foot injury measures were low.
Additional features:
- Side airbags: head curtain airbags for all three rows of seats and front seat-mounted torso airbags
- Rollover sensor: designed to deploy the side curtain airbags in the event of an impending rollover
- Built-in child restraints (optional)
- Electronic stability control; includes roll stability control to minimize the possibility of rollover

R-Design
Volvo Cars of Canada Corp. will continue to offer an optional R-Design package for the C30, S40, V50, V70, XC60 and XC90 for the 2010 model year. The R-Design option adds a sportier look to these models, while still offering a premium experience expected of a Volvo vehicle. And with the new stiffer and better-balanced Sports Chassis included on all 2010 R-Design models, sporty looks are now matched by sportier driving dynamics and more agile handling.

R-Design models are available in a variety of exterior colours, with trim moldings, decor trim and door mirror housing in a unique metal finish. All cars feature an R-Design badge in the grille and chromed tailpipes. R-Designs have different body kits depending on the model. Cars come with a colour-matched rear or roof spoiler while the XC models have fog lights and metal skid plates. Lower side mouldings on all R-Design models are colour-matched to the rest of the body.
The R-designs are also outfitted with five-spoke aluminum wheels. The C30 is fitted with 18" Atreus wheels. The S40 and V50 are fitted with 17" Serapis wheels. V70 is fitted with 18" Cratus wheels. XC90 is fitted with 19" Vulcanis wheels. XC60 R-Design will be fitted with 20" Cratus wheels.
Interior
Inside, the seats are cream coloured or black leather with edges in off-black T-Tec with the R-Design logo embossed on the front seats. Other R-Design interior details include a leather-trimmed sports steering wheel with R-Design logo, the unique R-inspired instrument cluster, brushed aluminum sport pedals with rubber tips, specially designed aluminum center stack and door inlays, a gear selector trimmed with leather and aluminum and sport floor mats with contrasting piping. Extroverted and Emotional
R-Design is entirely in line with the accelerated focus on making our cars more extroverted and emotional. It gives the buyers the opportunity to spice up the already distinct personality of these car models.source by volvocars
