New 2011 Volvo Specifications

[Daleman]

Isn’t it today all is going to be revealed? Has anyone any firm details yet?

[XC90 Dave]

This was information I was given on making an enquiry.

"Volvo have sold out of the current XC90 & it is due to have a few specification changes (eg the Active will no longer have active headlights, heated washer nozzles or headlight washers)."

I believe the cars officially go on sale on 19th March 2010.

I wonder if they will still call the S model the XC90 Active ? - seems a bit rich if it will no longer have the "Active" bending lights !

[Bathurst]

New changes are still not reflected on Volvo's website as its still showing the XC90 active with the Active Bending Headlights...

Maybe call it the Inactive then !

I've heard that D-Day is actually tomorrow but also that the Active will no longer have the Xenon bending headlights.

I too am waiting new XC60 2011 specs after being told yesterday that my 2.4D Drive
R-design ordered for April delivery "cannot be manufactured due to factory changes" and will now be a 2.0l delivered in June !! They said 2.4D is discontinued for this model.
Besides the disappointment in the delay, I am concerned whether this change will satisfy my needs.

They will honour my price / deal. ie - No price hike for 2011 model and hold my trade in value.
I am told the 2.0 D will deliver 163BHP (2.4D was 175BHP) but will produce better economy ?

Am I getting a worse deal ? (I can't work it out).

I'm looking to order a new XC90 Executive D5 as soon as the order books are open. Does anyone know if the 2.4D is being dropped for the Executive model as well? I'm hoping that the higher BHP version of the D5 will be made available (as some rumours and my dealer has hinted at)

Having only this new 2.0D with its lower BHP would be a real disappointment as this could make the car more of a slug to drive. The XC90 really needs the higher BHP to make it practical to drive. (Sorry don’t buy into all this green con job stuff)

If the have announced the D5 for the upcoming S60, I cannot see Volvo discontinuing the engine in the rest of their line-up. They might however drop the 2.4D for the D3.

Personally I'd forgone the extra power of the D5 for the 2.4D, so I would be disappointed if the engine was discontinued, but without a test drive, no way to say how the D3 would perform.

I would certainly not buy a car I had not test driven.
