The doors of the Volvo XC90 are not made of iron but of steel. Here is an introduction to the Volvo XC90: 1. The most significant change in the exterior of the new model comes from the redesigned concave front grille and the adjusted decorative elements of the air intakes on both sides of the front bumper. However, it still offers two exterior styles: the standard version and the R-Design version. The standard version features a vertical waterfall-style grille, while the R-Design version has a black honeycomb layout, black roof rails, and black mirrors. The rear of the vehicle retains the overall design of the previous model, preserving classic elements. 2. The interior of the XC90 continues the design of the current model, with seating configurations available in 5-seat, 7-seat, and a luxurious 4-seat version. 3. The Volvo XC90 has upgraded its signature safety features, including City Safety and Blind Spot Information System, Oncoming Lane Mitigation, and an Intersection Alert system with automatic braking. According to Volvo, the City Safety system is the most advanced safety feature in the XC90, with its automatic braking capable of effectively detecting pedestrians, cyclists, and large animals.
As a long-time owner of the Volvo XC90, I've driven this car for several years. From daily experience, the doors feel solid and substantial, clearly made of metal. To be specific, they are primarily constructed from steel plates rather than pure iron, as pure iron is rarely used in automobiles—steel is stronger and more impact-resistant. Volvo has always prioritized safety, employing high-strength steel or boron steel in the door structure to effectively protect passengers during side collisions. While slightly heavier than aluminum, potentially increasing fuel consumption marginally, the XC90's overall lightweight design is decent, and I find its fuel economy quite satisfactory. Maintenance is convenient, as steel doors are cheaper for bodywork repairs. In short, it's not a flashy material but a reliable and practical choice that ensures peace of mind on the road.
