Volvo XC90 receives 266 bookings in India

Volvo India has claimed to have received 266 bookings for the XC90 SUV, which was unveiled a few months back in the country. Deliveries of the XC90 will commence by the end of September. All the bookings received are for the top of the line ‘Inscription’ variant.

In fact, globally, over 75 percent of customers have opted for the ‘Inscription’ variant and already close to 60000 customer orders for the XC90 have been confirmed.

The Torslanda plant in Sweden is working three shifts to meet the demand for the new XC90.

Recently, the Volvo XC90 has secured a five-star rating in the Euro NCAP safety tests.

It scored highly for adult protection, with the standard autonomous emergency braking system that was tested for bringing the car to a halt before a collision occured in all of its tests, there by earning maximum points. The XC90 also scored 100 percent for its safety assistance systems, which all feature as standard. The XC90 also features advanced pedestrian protection functionality that independent safety regulators have yet to include in their testing protocols, demonstrating once again how the Swedish carmaker continues to dominate and innovate in the field of car safety.

With the good response, Volvo seems to be trading the right path and deserves to do much better than it is currently doing, in India. The Volvo XC90 is available in India in two variants – the Momentum and the Inscription, which are priced at INR 79.43 lakhs and INR 95.52 lakhs (on-road, Mumbai) respectively.
