present it! Volvo in 2011 | drive it

In the coming year, environmental protection will be writ large at Volvo. It's the first time a front-wheel drive model of its XC 90 SUV will be available in Europe alongside the all-wheel drive models that have been on sale up to now. That's because not everyone takes their SUV off-road.With a small diesel under the hood, fuel economy is a real feature on the front wheel drive XC 90. And it's cheaper as well, with a selling price some €5,000 lower than the all-wheel drive model. Also new in Volvo's palette is a two-liter gasoline engine that's available for Volvo's small SUV, the XC 60, and in its S80 sedan.
