REVIEW: Is the all-wheel drive Volvo V90 Cross Country the pick of the estate's range? Autocar's verdict is in...
with four-wheel drive, 60mm of extra ground clearance, electronic hill descent control and all-season tyres - all intended to enable it to deal with muddy fields, moderately rutted tracks, and the kind of light off-roading that an active lifestyle might put its way.
Some new cars are positioned in a way that takes a surprising amount of thought for a reviewer to fully compute, but this isn’t one of them. Volvo uses the umbrella term ‘relaxed confidence’ to describe the character it aims at for the car, and it’s clearly not a complicated concept. This is a big, smart, versatile, robust, comfort-first, executive family holdall. It’s not tall or bulky like an SUV, so it handles in relatively tidy fashion and doesn’t tower over other cars.
It’s the infotainment software that’s new in this car. Volvo’s latest Google-based touchscreen infotainment system has been added this year, having moved into Volvo’s smaller 60-series cars last year - to decidedly mixed reviews. However, the company’s software developers have clearly been working hard to knock the bugs out of the new system and here it seems more slick and responsive, and more intuitive. Our test car’s digital instrument console was clearly rendered and bug-free too.
