According to Volvo's Susanna Johnson, this was a no-brainer for Volvo. "We have had numerous requests for a sportier XC90. They are from customers who appreciate the versatility and comfort of an SUV but who also want a bit more driving pleasure. We have developed the Volvo XC90 V8 Sport especially for them, with a dynamic sport chassis, stiffer anti-roll bars, firmer shock absorbers, a sport-tuned, speed-dependent steering system, and larger, 19-inch wheels. We dare to promise a truly enjoyable experience behind the wheel of a Volvo XC90 V8 Sport."
