The Volvo XC90 is an SUV under the Volvo brand, with a length, width, and height of 4953mm, 1958mm, and 1776mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 22984mm. These are official figures. The length of the Volvo XC90 refers to the distance between two vertical lines perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost protruding parts at the front and rear of the car. The width refers to the distance between two planes parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost rigid fixed protruding parts on both sides of the vehicle. The height refers to the distance between the highest point of the vehicle and the supporting plane of the vehicle. The turbocharged engine of the Volvo XC90 has a maximum power of 184kW and a maximum torque of 350Nm. This engine reaches its maximum power at 5400-5700 rpm and its maximum torque at 1800-4800 rpm. It features direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. This engine is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. National regulations on vehicle dimensions are specified in the national standard 'GB1589-89', which states that the total width of a vehicle does not include side mirrors. The limitation on vehicle width is to provide sufficient lateral clearance for overtaking between adjacent lanes. This means that, according to national standards, the significance of vehicle width data lies in ensuring enough space during overtaking to prevent accidents due to excessive width or situations where road markings are narrower than the vehicle's width. Additionally, national regulations stipulate that the total width of a vehicle must not exceed 2.5m to meet the usage requirements of public roads.
I usually enjoy driving my family on trips, and the Volvo XC90's body dimensions are quite practical. It has a length of 4953mm, width of 1958mm (excluding mirrors), height of 1776mm, and a wheelbase of 2984mm. The luggage compartment can expand to over 600 liters, accommodating plenty of baggage. On highways, the long wheelbase ensures stability, while the 220mm ground clearance prevents scraping on rural roads. These dimensions make it ideal for family trips—spacious and safe. The regret rate for choosing this car is low, and I often see many forum users sharing travel photos with the same model.
From the perspective of automotive technology research, the XC90's body length of 4953mm is not excessive, while its width of 1958mm (extending to 2159mm with mirrors) requires caution in narrow alleys. The height of 1776mm optimizes aerodynamic drag to reduce fuel consumption. I'm most concerned about the 2984mm wheelbase's significant impact on handling—it results in a slightly larger turning radius but enhances stability. The 220mm minimum ground clearance improves off-road capability. These specifications, combined with the chassis structure, make it more reassuring to drive than other SUVs in its class, and also allow for flexible wheel modifications.
