2007 Volvo XC90 V8 AWD

If you want to have it all, and "all" by your definition includes all-wheel drive, then this is the SUV for you. It's the ideal transporter for the family, especially with the third-row seat (with separate AC controls) and integrated second-row child booster seat included with this trim.
The 4.4-liter V8 was designed exclusively for use in this and the Sport trim of the XC90.
Technological advances allow this engine exceptional fuel economy and emissions control for its size. The versatile Geartronic automatic transmission lets you operate manually or automatically, as the driving situation - or your mood - dictates.
This isn't just any AWD; it's Electronically-controlled All-Wheel Drive with Instant Traction. That means that the system monitors driving situations and when conditions call for a transfer of more power (the front wheels get most of the power in normal driving conditions) to the rear wheels, the system responds as such. This eliminates oversteering and understeering problems and minimizes wheel spin in sudden acceleration for the ultimate in control.
This luxury vehicle contains all of the safety equipment Volvo is famous for, most of it in acronym form: Roll Stability Control and DSTC (Dynamic Stability and Traction Control), as well as the SIPS (Side-Impact Protection System) and ROPS (Rollover Protection System). Buyers of this SUV are willing to pay to get the best, and they get it indeed.
The V8 AWD XC90 comes loaded with a power glass mooonroof, 6-CD in-dash changer with 8 speakers, and color-coordinated body side moldings and door handles. For full luxury, upgrade from cloth seats to Sovereign Hide leather. There is also an upgrade available for 18-inch wheels.
A more useful option might be the BLIS (Blind-spot Information System), which uses digital imaging to detect things in the car's blind spots. Upon detection it triggers a warning light to alert the driver. The system's camera is built into the base of the side-mount mirrors.
