A 6.5 inches ride height
advantage over XC90, and an impressive maximum ground clearance of 9.2 inches
(when equipped with 18-inch wheels) allows the new 2004 2005 Volvo XC90 to move
to light offroad and stand up to the demands of suburban road conditions. To
prevent perhaps the most dangerous mishap common to SUVs, Volvo now includes
Roll Stability Control (RSC) that activates the DSTC (Dynamic Stability and
Traction Control) to help prevent rollovers. Just in case, the roof of the
Volvo XC90 is composed of Boron steel, which Volvo notes is four times stronger
than conventional steel. The entry-level 2004 2005 Volvo XC90 2.5T comes with
front-wheel or all-wheel drive, a 208-hp 5-cyl engine, and 5-speed automatic
transmission. The T6 AWD has a 268-hp 6 cyl and a 4-speed automatic. Antilock
4-wheel disc brakes and antiskid/traction control are standard.
