TIPS

THE SENIOR DESIGN ADVISOR José has been responsible for creating timeless design at Volvo for 21 years. It’s his job to make sure that the XC90 refresh maintains the core Volvo design foundations of elegance, sophistication and timeless-ness.

INTRODUCTION Design is always an integral component of function. Elements within the refreshed XC90 have been re- designed to enhance the perfect balance between product performance and driver harmony, whilst main-taining a core sense of entitlement and exclusiveness across the entire product range.

Whilst most refreshed features will remain true to their class, a selection will be made available across the entire XC90 range.

This brochure will guide you through the refreshed features of the Base, Kinetic, Momentum, Summum, Executive and R-Design models. Use it to highlight the new design features to your clients, as it describes how the refresh creates new, easily communicable unique selling points.

the proportions of the car, and this is what creates good, timeless design.”

SUMMUM

From Executive

José says: “Practicaly, the front skid plate was redesigned to fit all regula-tion E.U. licence plates, which is especially important to fleet sales. Esthetically, it gives the impression

of a wider, lower body. We are very happy that this one design refresh has created two additional benefits.”

STORE SETTINGS IN THE POWER SEAT

Adjust the settings for maximum individual comfort. Then press the ‘M’ button. Both the car seat and the car key has memorized these settings.

If ever the seat is readjusted within this setting, the new adjustments are memorized by the car key. The next time the key is used, the seat will automatically move to those latest settings.

To return to the original seat settings, press the button located on the seat.

The refreshed design elements exclusive to the Executive model include full colour coordination for smoother exterior lines, and soft, elegantly detailed interiors that further elevate its level of luxury.

They will remain exclusive to the Executive, which should preserve the feeling of privilege and status that buyers of the XC90 Executive expect.

REMOTE KEY – PANIC ALARM

Designed for Unwanted Emergencies

1. Press and hold the red panic button for approx. 5 seconds

2. Turn off the alarm by pressing the unlock/lock button twice.

TIPS #4

See below for the new design details only available to the refreshed XC90 Executive model.

“I PANIC TO TURN IT OFF WHEN

DEMONSTRATING THE ALARM... I JUST PRESS

THE KEY TWICE AND IT WORKS”

Great design is anticipating what someone does naturally in any situation. That’s why the remote key panic alarm func-tions mimic what a person does in a ‘fight or flight’ situation.

The refreshed R-Design is the sleek sports version. It’s the driver satisfaction side of family practicality. Full coloured body on the 19’’ IXION alumi-nums will give it the lower, wider look. Inside the

upholstery, detailed inlays and door panels give it the race team feel; while never compromising on the XC90 luxury and refinement.

R-DESIGN XC90REFRESHJosé says: “New interior and

exterior colour coordination make the R-Design look lower and faster. We have also added new chrome

detailing and 19’’ IXION rims, which give the R-Design a much more up-dated, sportier and luxurious look.”

Assist the buyer in adjusting the seat and mirrors themselves. Show them how to use the multimedia systems. Redirect air conditioning vents. Explain how the memory system works as you give the keys to the buyer. Wish them a safe and happy test drive.

Most XC90 sales are made when the seller and the buyer are out on a test drive. If this is not possible, then how you prepare them before the test drive is even more important.

THE TEST DRIVE

TIPS #5

7 seat practicality for the kids and their friends.

Award winning exterior design.

Luxuriously appointed interiors.

Everyone’s multimedia system.

Benchmark AWD Volvo safety.

The XC90 refresh further defines what has made this a car motoring icon. New innovations and design concepts have elevated the brand to an entirely new dimension.

Volvo Cars has re-designed the XC90 to boost its competitive-ness. The refresh will allow the XC90 to maintain its segment sales leads in main SUV markets.
