The 2008 Volvo XC90 is outfitted with a good selection of standard features, and its options list includes some luxurious features that families may seek out for the long haul.
There are three main trim levels for the 2008 Volvo XC90: the 3.2, the V8, and the V8 Sport. J.D. Power notes the standard features on every version include power windows, locks, and mirrors; dual-zone electronic climate control; a flat-folding 40/20/40-split second-row seat; and a high-performance 160-watt, 8-speaker, MP3-capable audio system. Also standard on the base version are 17-inch wheels, wood trim, a power driver seat, and an auxiliary audio jack, Edmunds says.
The V8 XC90 Volvo adds all-wheel drive and a third-row seat for seven-passenger capacity, along with a power front passenger seat, a rear air conditioner, a sunroof, and the third-row seat, Edmunds says. The V8 Sport puts on top of that 19-inch wheels, retuned steering and suspension feel, new gauges, and a three-spoke steering wheel.
Kelley Blue Book likes the "upgraded audio with subwoofer and rear controls" that are options on all of the 2008 Volvo XC90 models. A navigation system, Sirius Satellite Radio, and Bluetooth are optional, along with a DVD entertainment system.
Conclusion
The 2008 Volvo XC90 arrives with luxury features built in and allows some high-tech options.
