Sembra un panetto di burro sciolto

Mah non ci siamo! Meglio dentro sicuramente! Il terzo finestrino lo trovo troppo grande e mi rovina la vista laterale! Mascherina così così! Boh lo trovo poco originale a differenza del predeccessore e dell'xc60!

E' semplice la chiave di lettura del nuovo design:

Peter Horbury ha disegnato la XC90

Steve Mattin la XC60

Thomas Ingenlath la XC90 II

3 matite differenti per 3 diverse vettura, con stilemi nuovi per il brand Volvo.

Ingenlath si è fatto le ossa in Skoda e Volkswagen, ecco perchè a molti questo XC90 rassomiglia ad un Touareg.

Horbury ha sempre disegnato Volvo moderne, poi è migrato in Ford, Jaguar ed Aston Martin, affiancandosi a Ian Callum (non l'ultimo dei pirla) ed ora è responsabile del design del gruppo Geely.

Mattin su poco di lui, so solo che è stato per una breve parentesi in Volvo, disegnato la S60 Concept.

Mattin prima di Volvo era in M-B, dove ha disegnato ML e GL, mentre adesso è il responsabile del design AutoVaz-Lada. Le ultime concept Lada sono opera sua.

The all-new Volvo XC90 - First Edition

The 1,927 First Edition owners of the best SUV in the world will get a fully equipped car with uniquely numbered tread plates and a distinctive badge on the tailgate.

“The first buyers signed up for their favourite number in milliseconds. The rapid response confirms that the XC90 is a truly iconic car model. The First Edition will be a collectors item in the future,” said Alain Visser.

Black exterior an Amber leather seats

The Onyx Black exterior and 8-spoke, 21-inch Inscription wheels are combined with an interior featuring nappa leather seats in Amber, a Charcoal leather dashboard and Linear Walnut inlays.

The First Edition will be powered by a high-performance petrol or diesel engine from Volvo Cars’ new four-cylinder Drive-E powertrains. The supercharged and turbocharged T6 All Wheel Drive has an output of 320 hp, while the D5 twin turbo diesel engine has 225 hp. The engines are teamed with a smooth 8-speed automatic transmission.

Striking tablet-like touch screen

The tablet-like touch screen in the centre is one of the most striking features in the all-new XC90. The heart of the all-new in-car control is virtually button free and represents an entirely new way for drivers to operate their car and access a range of Internet-based products and services.

The Bowers & Wilkins audio system features a 1,400 watts Class D amplifier, 19 speakers and the latest sound processing software, which brings the emotional experience of a world-class live performance into the car.

Most comprehensive standard safety package

The most comprehensive and technologically sophisticated standard safety package available in the automotive industry includes two world first safety technologies: a run-off road protection package and auto brake at intersection capability. All of Volvo Cars’ auto brake functions vehicles, covering cyclists and pedestrians in front of the car, are also standard.

E chi doveva dirlo!

Bene, ottimo inizio per questo Suv.

Una considerazione, mi pare che Volvo dal passaggio in mano a Geely stia sfornando auto decisamente interessanti.
