There is concern among environmentalists and motorists about the environmental impact of vehicles, and particularly large SUVs, on our planet's eco-systems. The well being of the environment is a concern of Volvo's design and engineering teams too, so although the XC90 is a spacious and confident off-road vehicle, it measure only 87mm longer than a V70 estate, and its range of turbocharged engines are amongst the most economical, and emit some of the least pollutants, in the class. New D5 comes with Diesel Particle Filter.


All XC90s also come with a Premair system as standard, a radiator coating that converts 75 percent of ozone into oxygen as it passes through it, which can actively reduce ground-level ozone in urban areas. The car’s interior materials, meanwhile, are free from pollutants and are hypo allergenic, meeting the stringent European Oke-Tex standard.
