2013 New Volvo XC90 Release Date, Meanwhile, the 2013 Volvo XC90 R-Design also benefits from a fully color-coordinated exterior plus LED daytime running lights and taillights.

A fully color-coordinated exterior makes the 2013 Volvo XC90 look sleeker and lower to the ground. Design elements include new body color front and rear bumpers, sill moldings and wheel arches. Enhancing the visual magnetism are new standard LED daytime running lights and taillights. The 2013 Volvo XC90 3.2 also receives a new silver front bumper bar, chrome taillight trim, silk matte exterior rearview mirrors, air intake décor trim and 18-inch “Thalia” alloy wheels. Twilight Bronze metallic and Flaminco Red metallic are new color choices.

The 2013 Volvo XC90 advanced 3.2-liter in-line six-cylinder engine is a naturally aspirated powerplant that delivers 240 horsepower and 236 lb.-ft. of torque. It achieves performance and economy thanks to Variable Cam Timing (VCT) and Cam Profile Switching (CPS). With CPS, the intake valves can be lifted to different heights depending on engine revs and load – a lower lift for economical driving and a higher one for more power.

A six-speed “Geartronic” automatic transmission is standard. All-wheel drive with Instant Traction is optional on all Volvo XC90. This traction enhancing system employs computer-controlled Haldex AWD that instantaneously delivers up to 50 percent more torque to the rear axle only when needed, such as during takeoff.
