    Next Volvo XC90 Coming In 2014 At The Earliest

    Its hard to believe that the current Volvo XC90 will be around 11 years old when the next XC90 will come out. But according to Inside Line, that is what will happen.

    The new XC90 isn't due out till 2014 at the earliest, but it will bring forth a platform that will underpin many of Volvo's future products. Called Scalable Platform Architecture (SPA), this platform will underpin the next generation S60, V70, XC60 and S80.

    As for power, the XC90 will exclusively use four-cylinder power only. The four-cylinder engines will be part of the Volvo Environmental Architecture engine family and come in gas and diesel versions. There is also a plug-in hybrid in the works as well.

    • This is the exact wording and the recall:
    • i believe something causes a possible short, which causes the fire. It already was an LED bulb under the mirror. I'm actively reaching out to Lincoln/Ford about it though, because I think it's ridiculous to just lose a feature due to a recall. I though recalls FIXED problems.  Right?!? I'm hoping it's just a temp fix until they have an actual fix. Losing something on a vehicle for a recall is absurd, IMO. 
    • What in the actual non-fixing F?
    • Facepalm is for the stupid way they did the fix, not a fix, lost feature you paid for. Totally agree with you. Sorry to hear it was such a bird brain idea by Ford. Wonder if you can reconnect it and replace the bulb that gets hot with a LED version that stays cool and will not cause a fire?
    • I had a recall done yesterday on my Navigator. The recall was to eliminate the risk of something catching fire due to the under-mirror lighting. The fix was to simply unplug the lights and I lose the feature.  This seems pretty ridiculous, right? Like, there wasn't an actual fix. I just lost something I paid for.  I had a loaner new Escape for the day though. It was..uhhh...okay...
