2007 Volvo XC90

This year there's an all-new base engine for the XC90: the ultra-compact, 235-hp, 3.2-litre inline-six, which sits transversely in the nose. The new engine also joins the V8 in having a 6-speed manumatic transmission. An exterior freshening includes a bigger chrome grille and other body-coloured bits. A new optional Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) alerts the driver if another vehicle is in your lane-change blind spot.
