Mechanically, this new model is more-or-less an S90 tweaked to make it ideal (or so Volvo claims) for off-roading. (We should note the Volvo XC90 also handles off-roading, but that vehicle was curiously absent from the day’s events.) The Colorado-based event, like its sister event in Sweden, was tailored to show the invitees that Volvos aren’t just luxury vehicles—they’re built for “Swedish ruggedness” and suffer “battle scars” easily. (I assumed “battle scars” to mean scratches and dings, although maybe even an arrow to the wheel—I didn’t ask.)
