Continuing a legacy of Cross Country models that spans 20 years, Volvo Cars’ latest Cross Country is the ultimate culmination of form, function and absolute lifestyle appeal.
The new V90 Cross Country also completes Volvo’s entirely new 90 cluster in South Africa, sharing its Scalable Product Architecture (SPA) with the multi-award-winning new XC90 and S90.
Available with diesel or petrol drivetrains and all-wheel drive as standard on all models, the new V90 Cross Country epitomises the ultimate premium lifestyle partner and is the spiritual successor to the much-lauded Volvo XC70. A total of eight derivatives are available.
Like the S90, the new V90 Cross Country features a minimalistic dashboard, where the now familiar 9-inch Sensus Connect touch screen interface takes pride of place. Responsible for all in-car functions from entertainment and telephony to settings, climate control and navigation, Sensus Connect has become the new norm for intuitive human-machine interfaces (HMI). Designed around the same principles as today’s leading smart devices, the tablet-style interface with its portrait orientation is easy to use, responsive (even while wearing gloves) and intuitive, with tap, pinch and swipe gesture controls and customisable shortcuts, giving the driver quick and easy access to their preferred vehicle functions. Various themes are available for the Sensus Connect interface and the instrument cluster, allowing drivers the choice of classic, minimalistic, metallic and sporty overtones.
As with its siblings in the 90 cluster, the V90 Cross Country is also available as standard with Pilot Assist for semi-autonomous driving up to 130 km/h, on all models. Working hand-in-hand, Adaptive Cruise Control and Pilot Assist enhance the V90 Cross Country’s driveability and allow drivers to hand over control to the car in varying degrees of engagement.
