Volvo Is Set to Launch XC90 That Is Built on SPA

Volvo is set to launch XC90 that is built on Scalable Product Architecture (SPA) modular chassis technology developed by Volvo.


The new technology is flexible, allowing the company's engineers and designers to create new design features.

SPA will enable Volvo to build new range of vehicles, electrical systems and technologies, along with powertrains with differing complexities to be used within the same architecture.

It will also facilitate improved weight distribution of the car, which would provide a smoother driving experience.

The new XC90 will come with wide range of Drive-E engine options, which would make the car fuel efficient. It will have two models the two-liter, four-cylinder diesel variant and a petrol variant as well.

Volvo Car Group research and development senior vice president Dr Peter Mertens said: "SPA has enabled us to create the world's first no-compromise SUV.

"You get the agility of a much smaller and lower car, an in-command feel and generous interior space, plus an adrenaline rush delivered by powertrains that offer an unrivalled combination of power and low emissions.

"Of course, it carries the Volvo badge, meaning world-class safety is standard."
