Sporty XC90 at British Show
12 July 2006 The XC90 SE Sport 4x4 has stiffer suspension and quicker steering developed on UK roads with the aim of giving the car a sharper drive. Three engines are on offer - the 182bhp 2.4-litre D5 diesel at £37,270, the 235bhp 3.2-litre petrol for £38,278 and the 311bhp 4.4-litre V8 petrol at £45,950. Those prices mean the sporty additions are between £1750 and £1950 more than the standard SE cars they're based on. Besides the retuned suspension and steering, the SE Sport models also get larger 19-inch alloy wheels, extended wheelarches and two-colour sports seats. Roof rails are removed from the cars, although still available as a no-cost option, while dials and exterior trim are changed to give a sportier look. Acceleration, top speed, fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions are unchanged, the V8 sprinting to 62mph in 6.9sec, topping 130mph and returning 20.9mph on the combined cycle. |
