Remember being told you can't have it all - that compromise is a fact of life? Well according to the latest information from Volvo, the facts of life have changed! We're taking an introductory look at the new 2015 Volvo XC90 in Phoenix to see if you can really get supreme drivability in a seven-passenger SUV and keep your environmental conscience clear!

Volvo's largest SUV has been completely redesigned; inside, outside and under the hood. Edmunds predicts in their 2015 Volvo XC90 review that the new style, efficient powertrain and innovative safety features will make the XC90 a top pick in its class. That's easy to believe when you observe the beautifully crafted interior, luscious seating, refined dash and intuitive control console. Enter a realm where old-world craftsmanship, leather and woodgrain, combine in surprising ease with state-of-the art technology like high-power-low-emission engines, ground-breaking safety features and user-friendly voice-activated controls. 

The new 2015 XC90 is the first Volvo model to offer the new Drive-E powertrain in all-wheel-drive. The XC90 offers a choice of Drive-E engines including the T6 316-horsepower turbocharged and supercharged engine, expected to deliver best-in-class power and fuel economy. Go even greener with the T8's piece de resistance: a combined plug-in electric, hybrid and high-performance all-in-one powertrain that produces about 400 horsepower. 2015 XC90 T8 models incorporate three driving modes: hybrid (the standard mode), power and plug-in. Plug-in mode should reach up to 25 miles on electric power alone. The T8's ultra-low emissions make it possible for you to revel guilt-free in your large, luxury SUV! 

Driving a 2015 Volvo XC90 in Phoenix means you and your passengers are employing one incredibly safe SUV. Volvo has outdone themselves with advanced safety systems available in the new XC90. You name it - from pre-crash, rear-impact and whiplash protection systems, to camera systems, blind spot monitoring and an incredible new frontal impact system which even protects pedestrians, Volvo's got you covered. The automatic parallel parking feature may be a must for some drivers, while we find the road sign record-and-display functionality ingenious. No worries if you missed noting the latest speed limit posting or you're not sure if you missed your exit; the XC90 records signage and displays it for you on the control center touchscreen.

Also integrated in your control center is Apple's Carplay, bringing all your iPhone5 functions seamlessly into the mix of infotainment features.
