The Volvo XC90 was introduced in the 2003 model year.

Restraints/dummy kinematics — Dummy movement was well controlled. During rebound, the head hit the A-pillar and the roof rail.

Injury measures — Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity. Head acceleration from the A-pillar/roof rail hit was low.

R-Design

Volvo Cars of Canada Corp. will continue to offer an optional R-Design package for the C30, S40, V50, V70, XC60 and XC90 for the 2010 model year. The R-Design option adds a sportier look to these models, while still offering a premium experience expected of a Volvo vehicle. And with the new stiffer and better-balanced Sports Chassis included on all 2010 R-Design models, sporty looks are now matched by sportier driving dynamics and more agile handling.

R-Design models are available in a variety of exterior colours, with trim moldings, decor trim and door mirror housing in a unique metal finish. All cars feature an R-Design badge in the grille and chromed tailpipes.
R-Designs have different body kits depending on the model. Cars come with a colour-matched rear or roof spoiler while the XC models have fog lights and metal skid plates. Lower side mouldings on all R-Design models are colour-matched to the rest of the body.
The R-designs are also outfitted with five-spoke aluminum wheels. The C30 is fitted with 18" Atreus wheels. The S40 and V50 are fitted with 17" Serapis wheels. V70 is fitted with 18" Cratus wheels. XC90 is fitted with 19" Vulcanis wheels. XC60 R-Design will be fitted with 20" Cratus wheels.
Inside, the seats are cream coloured or black leather with edges in off-black T-Tec with the R-Design logo embossed on the front seats. Other R-Design interior details include a leather-trimmed sports steering wheel with R-Design logo, the unique R-inspired instrument cluster, brushed aluminum sport pedals with rubber tips, specially designed aluminum center stack and door inlays, a gear selector trimmed with leather and aluminum and sport floor mats with contrasting piping.
R-Design is entirely in line with the accelerated focus on making our cars more extroverted and emotional. It gives the buyers the opportunity to spice up the already distinct personality of these car models.
