Volvo XC90
This Swedish SUV hit the market in 2002 and has resisted any major transformations ever since. For 2012, Volvo has done away with the V8, offering just a 3.2L inline-6 that produces 240 hp and 236 lbs.-ft. of torque. AWD and a 6-speed automatic transmission equip this vehicle. True to Volvo name, the XC90 comes with a full suite of safety equipment, including roll-over protection.
