Volvo XC90 Rugged Luxury web

RUGGED LUXURY

The built-for-the-rough variant, this XC features body cladding, side running-boards, roof-rails, and higher-profile tyres on 20” rims. Although more of a styling addition, the accessories are practical, because the AWD system is very capable.

URBAN LUXURY

The more on-road-oriented XC90 gets a more suave persona: matte aluminium grille, integrated roof-rails and a uniform tone body with 21” wheels. It won’t look out of place at the royal ball or at the ski slopes in the Andes.
