The Volvo XC90 is a mid-size luxury crossover SUV manufactured and marketed by Volvo Cars since 2002 and now in its second generation. The first generation was introduced at the 2002 North American International Auto Show and used the Volvo P2 platform shared with the first generation Volvo S80 and other large Volvo cars. It was manufactured at Volvo's Torslandaverken. Volvo moved production equipment of the first generation to China and ended Swedish production at the end of 2014, renaming the car as the Volvo XC Classic (or Volvo XC90 Classic). The XC90 was Volvo's top-selling vehicle in the United States and also Volvo's best selling model worldwide in 2005 — with 85,994 cars sold. At the end of 2014, the second generation XC90 was introduced. It is based on a new global platform, called ''Scalable Product Architecture'' or SPA for short. Both generations of the XC90 have won Motor Trend's SUV of the Year award in their debuts. == First generation (2002–2014) == | length = | width = | height = | designer = Doug Frasher (1999)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=International - Volvo Cars )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Frasher's odyssey: with the design of its XC90 SUV, Volvo had to navigate between the scylla of me-too trucky styling and the charybdis of station wagon wimpiness.

In November 2001, Volvo released a teaser image showing the frontal styling of the production version, named the XC90. Notable as Volvo's first SUV model, the styling of the XC90 recalled the concept. In January 2002, the full XC90 unveiling occurred, at the North American International Auto Show.〔 Production began in August 2002, after Volvo's traditional mid-year shutdown, with the first XC90s coming out of the Torslanda factory in Sweden.〔 At its North American launch for the 2003 model year, the XC90 was presented with a choice of two trim levels, the 2.5 T and the T6. The 2.5 T was the entry level version and offered a 2.5-litre ''B5254T2'' "T5" turbocharged inline-five engine, producing and mated to an Aisin co-developed five-speed ''AW55-50/51'' automatic. The T6 offered a 2.9-litre ''B6294T'' twin-turbocharged inline-six with and mated to a GM-sourced, Volvo-modified four-speed ''4T65EV/GT'' automatic. While the 2.5T came standard with front-wheel drive, a Haldex Traction all-wheel drive (AWD) system was optional. The T6 was offered only with the AWD system. A Yamaha V8 engine was added in 2005. This 4.4-litre Volvo B8444S engine produced for the first few models later upgraded to and of torque. Volvo sold just over 40,000 XC90 units in North America that year. The XC90 won the ''North American Car of the Year'' award and ''Motor Trend'' magazine's Sport/Utility of the Year for 2003. The ex-host of ''Top Gear'', Jeremy Clarkson, has owned three of these vehicles, and claims they were designed by someone who must've had children due to its practicality. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Volvo XC90」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
