    Volvo XC90 (1st gen) 2002-2014

    Volvo XC90 2002–2006

    At the January 2001 North American International Auto Show, hosted at Detroit, Volvo showcased the Adventure Concept Car to gauge reaction to the styling and features of its upcoming SUV. Then in November 2001, Volvo released a teaser image showing the frontal styling of the production version, titled XC90. Notable as Volvo's first SUV model, the styling of the XC90 remained true to the concept. The full XC90 unveiling occurred in January 2002 at the North American International Auto Show.[4] Production began in August 2002 after Volvo's traditional mid-year shutdown, with the first XC90s coming out of the Torslanda factory in Sweden.

    At its North American launch for the 2003 model year, it was presented with a choice of two trim levels, the 2.5 T and the T6. The 2.5 T was the entry level version and offered a 2.5-litre B5254T2 "T5" turbocharged inline-five engine, putting out 208 hp (155 kW) and 236 lb·ft (320 N·m) mated to an Aisin co-developed five-speed AW55-50/51 automatic. The T6 offered a 2.9-litre B6294T twin-turbocharged inline-six with 268 hp (200 kW) and 280 lb·ft (380 N·m) mated to a GM-sourced, Volvo-modified four-speed 4T65EV/GT automatic. While the 2.5T came standard with front-wheel drive, a Haldex Traction all-wheel drive (AWD) system was optional. The T6 was offered only with the AWD system.

    A new Yamaha V8 engine was added in 2005. This 4.4-litre Volvo B8444S engine produced 288 hp (215 kW) for the first few models later upgraded to 311 hp (232 kW) and 325 lb·ft (441 N·m) of torque. Volvo sold just over 40,000 XC90 units in North America that year.

    The XC90 is produced at Volvo's Torslanda Plant (Torslandaverken) in Sweden.

    VOLVO DIGS DEEP WITH PIRATES FOR BURIED VOLVO XC90

    Tied to the July 7 release of Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, Volvo launches a global multi-media treasure hunt for a buried, pirate-themed Volvo XC90 V8 beginning June 12 at www.volvocars.us/thehunt
    HOLLYWOOD, Calif., (June 7, 2006) — In its largest-ever tie-in with a major motion picture, Volvo Car Corporation today announced it will support its official promotion of Disney’s upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest with a global, multi-media treasure hunt for a Volvo XC90 V8 that has been buried somewhere in the world.

    “If there’s one element you are sure to find in almost every good pirate story, it’s a buried treasure,” said Anne Bélec, president and chief executive officer of Volvo Cars of North America. “So, we’ve taken our most treasured vehicle, the Volvo XC90 V8 SUV, and married it to the pirate world, modifying it to make it as menacing as possible. It’s the centerpiece of a elaborate campaign that we hope will not only garner widespread participation for everyone who loves to search for buried treasure, but also have the public at large think about Volvo in an entirely new way.”

    Volvo is producing the campaign with its advertising agency of record, Euro RSCG Worldwide. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest opens in U.S. theaters July 7.

    2009, 2010, and 2012 updates

    For the 2009 model year, the XC90 received a new rear logo, featuring larger lettering with wider spaces between the "VOLVO" letters.

    In 2010, all XC90 models received painted wheel arches (previously they were optional). In addition, a new, larger, circular Volvo logo appeared on the front grille.

    For the 2012 model year, new LED tail-lights became available on certain models, although entry-level models retain the previous style.

    It may be old, but it is certainly safer than many newer cars...
