One of the year’s most eagerly anticipated new cars – the all-new Volvo XC90 – will be available for first drives at Company Car in Action 2015.

An innovative seven-seat luxury SUV, the XC90 is based on an all-new platform, has a completely new range of fuel efficient four-cylinder engines and kicks off a whole new design language for the brand. It also has one of the most modern interiors of any car currently on sale, including intuitive touchscreen interfaces and rich cabin materials including hand crafted natural woods and crystal glass.

The XC90 is the catalyst for a product renewal programme that will see the entire Volvo portfolio replaced over the next five years.

Company Car in Action 2015 will be the first opportunity for fleet and business leaders to get behind the wheel of a car that offers world-first safety features, the latest in in-car connectivity and a range of fuel efficient petrol and diesel engines, plus a powerful yet tax efficient plug-in hybrid variant.

Drivers at CCIA will get to experience the car in D5 guise: a 220hp, four-cylinder diesel engine with low CO2 emissions of 149g/km and up to 49.6mpg combined cycle fuel economy - a great result for a full size seven-seat SUV. All versions are fitted with an eight-speed automatic transmission.

The XC90 will also be available to buy with a 320hp T6 petrol which can return up to 35.3mpg (combined cycle) and has CO2 emissions of 179g/km.

Coming later in the year will be the top of the range T8 Twin Engine, featuring a plug-in electric drivetrain. Three modes can be selected by the driver: In Pure mode, the car runs on zero tailpipe emission battery power with a range of up to 25 miles. Hybrid mode means the car automatically selects the optimum power source for the driving conditions, while Power mode sees the 2.0-litre petrol engine and the 82hp electric motor combine for maximum performance.

Selwyn Cooper, Head of Business Sales at Volvo Car UK, said: “The all new XC90 represents a new alternative for fleet and business car users – it’s a seven-seat luxury SUV with low emissions and appealing BIK tax rates. Now’s the time to consider Volvo and experience the luxury, safety, design and technology that our great range of cars has to offer.”

Prices start from £45,550 (P11D).

Experience the new Volvo XC90 D5 for yourself at Company Car in Action at Millbrook Proving Ground on 16-17 June.
