沃尔沃两周后将在瑞典斯德哥尔摩发布2015款XC90,在此之前,车厂发布了SPA可扩展平台架构及全新沃尔沃XC90“雷神之锤” T形LED日间行驶灯的更多细节。第二代XC90将是沃尔沃旗下首款采用新开发SPA平台的车型，新车不仅整备质量更低，而且前后重量分配更均衡。新车大约90%的零部件都是全新的，这其中最引人注目的莫过于“雷神之锤”T形LED行驶灯。沃尔沃表示，由于车身广泛采用高刚性硼钢，XC90及其他基于SPA平台的车型不仅涉及更紧凑，而且安全性更高。车厢内也采用多项创新性设计，可以前后移动的第二排座椅，可以为第三排乘客提供更充裕腿部空间，当然如果身高在170CM以上乘客坐进第三排还是会感到局促。由于该车广泛采用了诸如车顶保持辅助，驾驶员警示控制，路障监测和障碍物探测以及自动泊车等功能，因此可以称得上是世界上最安全的车型。除了必要的豪华内装外，内部还配备了B&W音响系统。新车将首次提供T8混动版本，该车将搭载一台2.0升四缸涡轮和机械增压引擎和一台电机，其中引擎负责驱动前轮，电机驱动后轮，综合输出功率298千瓦/400马力，扭矩640牛米，在纯电动模式下可行驶40公里。

 

Volvo details Scalable Product Architecture for 2015 XC90

Volvo has released additional details concerning the Scalable Product Architecture (SPA) which will underpin the 2015 XC90.

 

The second generation XC90 will be the first Volvo model to ride on the newly developed SPA chassis and will enable a lower curb weight and a more even weight distribution. Around 90 percent of all components are brand new, including the "Thor's Hammer" T-shaped LED daytime running lights. Volvo says that by making extensive use of high-strength boron steel, the 2015 XC90 along with all upcoming SPA-based models will be more compact and safer at the same time.

 

Inside the cabin, the second row of seats benefits from a sliding function to create more legroom for those sitting on the third row which can be up to 170cm tall. The driver and all passengers will sit inside "one of the safest cars in the world" thanks to a wide array of safety equipment like Lane Keeping Aid, Driver Alert Control, Road Edge and Barrier Detection as well as an auto brake function, just to name a few. The interior cabin has been previously shown and we know it will boast a Bowers & Wilkins audio system.

 

Volvo has already provided extensive details about the engine lineup which will be topped by a T8 plug-in hybrid model combining a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder turbocharged and supercharged engine driving the front wheels and an electric motor powering the rear axle. It will have a combined output of 400 bhp (298 kW) and 640 Nm (472 lb-ft), with enough juice in the batteries to cover 25 miles (40 km) on electric power.

 

Volvo says the all-new XC90 will be revealed two weeks from now in Stockholm, Sweden. Production will commence early 2015 at the Torslanda factory in Gothenburg.
