Styles and Options of Volvo XC90

 For 2007, there are two trims available for the XC90: the 3.2 and the V8 AWD. The V8 AWD is more powerful and comes with more standard features than the 3.2.

The XC90 3.2 is powered by, as the name implies, a 3.2L inline-6 with 235hp and a 6-speed Geartronic front wheel drive automatic transmission, although all wheel drive is an option. It sports 17" silver alloy wheels, a rear lip spoiler, body-colored bumpers and moldings, and black fender flares. Inside you'll find conveniences like 8-way power front bucket seats with cloth/leatherette seating, automatic air conditioning, an 8-speaker AM/FM/CD stereo system with and amp and MP3 capability, HomeLink wireless control system, and power windows, locks, and heated outside mirrors.

Choose the XC90 V8 AWD and you'll get a powerful 4.4L V8 engine pumping out 311hp. This model is also moved by a 6-speed Geartronic automatic transmission, but it's also equipped with full-time Instant Traction all wheel drive. In addition, you'll automatically get a third row of bucket seats, a rear child seat, leather interior, an express sunroof, separate rear climate controls, and an in-dash 6-CD changer.

Options for both trims include a navigation system, rear park distance control, a DVD entertainment setup, and heated front seats. But if you can do without these items, the XC90 still packs quite a luxurious wallop.
