Ok, you might not like an SUV body type, but what if someone was to tell you that the XC90s have:
*ULEV, and ULEV2 certified engines (ULEV2 being a more stringent certification)
so they burn cleaner than current Volvo models
*fuel economy that is targeted for passenger vehicle levels, and best in class
*a protective crossmember designed specifically so that the cross member hits the bumper of small passenger vehicles, and thus, helps activate the safety systems of the smaller carwithout compromising the ground clearance
*the Premair radiator that reduces ground level ozone up to 80%
*an advanced stability system that virtually eliminates driver induced rollovers.
*built on the same platform as the S80 and S60 to provide optimal handling characteristics and ride comfort of a premium passenger vehicle.
*all weather capability of electronically controlled awd
*towing capacity of 5,000 lbs.
*seating for up to seven passengers with best in class cargo capacity
*safety for all passengers, including Infatable Curtain, and seatbelts with pretensioners third row passengers.
*All passenger seats fold flat, including the front passenger seat.


doesn't sound so menacing...
