HTML Blog Post Draft
Okay, I’ve gathered the information from the search results. Here’s a summary of what I found and how it shapes the blog post:
2026 Volvo XC90 is not a full-model change: The initial user prompt implies a future “2026 XC90”. However, the search results indicate that Volvo has released a second facelift for the current generation XC90 for the 2025/2026 model year. It is not a completely new generation.
Coexistence with EX90: The all-electric flagship is the EX90. The existing XC90 (now facelifted) will continue to be sold alongside the EX90, serving customers who are not ready for a full EV. Volvo has even postponed its full-electrification target to 2030, which supports the decision to extend the life of the XC90.
Key Changes in the Facelift: The updates are significant, described by some as “full-change level”.
Design: Refined exterior with slimmer ‘Thor’s Hammer’ DRLs, new grille patterns, and updated bumper designs.
Interior & Tech: The biggest changes are inside. A new, larger 11.2 or 15-inch vertical center display, faster Snapdragon-powered infotainment system, and the integration of TMAP and Naver Whale browser. It’s a major UX/UI upgrade.
Powertrains: Continuation of the Mild Hybrid (B6) and Plug-in Hybrid (T8) models. The B6 outputs 300 hp, and the T8 reaches 455-462 hp with an electric range of about 56 km.
Chassis: Air suspension, previously limited to the T8, is now available on the B6 Ultra trim, which is a major selling point.
Pricing: New Korean pricing is available: B6 Plus starts at 88.2 million KRW, B6 Ultra at 99.9 million KRW, and T8 Ultra at 116.2 million KRW. This is noted as being price-competitive against German rivals, especially with the inclusion of air suspension.
“2026” Model Year: Several sources refer to the newly released facelift model as the “2026년형” (2026 model year). This aligns with the user’s prompt, so I can confidently write about the “2026 XC90” while describing this updated model.
Now, I will proceed to write the blog post following all the user’s specific instructions. I will use the information above to create an in-depth, helpful article for someone considering this vehicle.
