OREANDA-NEWS. Volvo Car Corporation has received about 1,700 orders for the new generation Volvo XC90 SUV by June. That is not a bad start for the vehicles, taking into account that the company plans to sell about 3,000 vehicles of this model in Russia in 2015 (about 60,000 vehicles all over the world). We should remind that the company started sales of the crossover in the middle of May, and most customers ordered it, even without seeing the car.  "This number of orders means that we are trusted. We think that this is the perfect vehicle for Russia, and the newest model in its class. It inspires respect, even in comparison with Mercedes-Benz , BMW, and Audi models... ", - President of Volvo Car Russia Michael Malmsten said yesterday in Krylatskoe sports complex (Moscow), giving the updated XC90 for a test drive to journalists.

Media representatives were also said that the first generation XC90 had been in production for 12 years. 636,143 vehicles have been produced over the years. The last of them was transferred to Volvo Museum, as a symbol of the end of this stage in the history of the company.
