2013 Volvo XC90
Volvo’s XC90 SUV is previous and nearing retirement—it’s expected to finally get a replacement someday in 2014—thus we tend to’ll take into account this mild 2013 refresh one thing of a sixtieth party. Of course, the XC90 isn’t sixty years recent, but keep in mind it debuted at the 2002 Detroit auto show simply months after the primary-generation Apple iPod hit the market. Yeah, the one with a scroll-y wheel issue and a black-and-white LCD screen. We’ll pause whereas you describe to your kids how handheld devices used to be operated via physical buttons. Unlike the iPod, the XC90 continues to be in its first-gen shell, but Volvo did give its soon-to-be-retiree a trial of botox to keep it fresh-ish for 2013.
Too Previous for Skinny Jeans and LEDs
The biggest amendment for the 2013 XC90 is the application of a lot of paint. Specifically, most everything that was previously black plastic on the exterior—the lower bumper trim, rocker panels, and fender flares—is now painted body color. Volvo also threw some LED daytime running lights at the XC90’s front finish and added LED taillights, but the impact is about as successful as your dad squeezing into a combine of thin jeans. Simply as he’s in all probability not going to be mistaken for Justin Bieber, the LEDs do very little to bring Volvo’s giant SUV into this decade. Non-R-Style XC90 three.two models conjointly get some new silver and chrome exterior trim.
Last year’s 3.2 and R-Design models carry over for 2013. Each will be had in base, Premier Plus, and Platinum trim levels. The entry-level XC90 3.2 gets aluminum interior trim commonplace, and Premier Plus and Platinum 3.2s get normal “Sovereign” leather seating and wood interior trim commonplace; a wood-trimmed steering wheel is optional. The R-Design continues to supply XC90 patrons a sportier option, with a unique grille, wheels, steering wheel, gauges, and an “R” logo embossed on the seats. All 2013s currently return commonplace with rain-sensing windshield wipers and headlight washers. Both the three.two and R-Design are powered by the same 240-hp, three.two-liter inline-six, and both return customary with front-wheel drive; a Haldex all-wheel-drive system is optional. Sadly, the XC90’s neat Yamaha-designed V-eight engine was discontinued for 2012.
