The interior of the Volvo XC90 is premium and luxurious and has been inspired from its Swedish origins. Sweden is known to merge latest technology with clean design, and Volvo has made use of the best materials with everything crafted to the last minute detail.

Volvo has tried really hard to make their XC90 as premium as they could. Thus, it will feature soft leather with handcrafted wood. They will also be replacing the traditional gear knob for a crystal glass by Orrefors. The volume controls and engine start/stop button will have a diamond cut to it and is sure to keep buyers in admiration of the interior.

The XC90 is based on a new platform known as SPA, which stands for Scalable Product Architecture. The premium luxury SUV will be more spacious and will sport the latest technology developed for cars. The SUV can accommodate seven full grown adults with ease - it will have three rows of seats with the third row even getting its own air-con vents.
