Volvo XC90 SUV gets armour treatment, weighs 4.5 tonnes

MANILA: The demand for armoured vehicles that provide the occupants with enhanced safety has been on the rise in recent times. Not only automobile manufacturers but also third party workshops have been catering to the needs of the population that demands these kinds of vehicles. To have its fair share in the segment, Volvo has launched the XC90 Armoured.

Volvo XC90 Armoured Front Angular

For starters, the foundation of the Volvo XC90 Armoured has been laid down by the XC90 T6 AWD Inscription. Thanks to the VR8 (Level 2) protection offered by the SUV, the occupants inside are safe from an AK-47 shot as well as a hand grenade. After its assembly in Torslanda, the Volvo XC90 visits TRASCO Bremen GmbH in Germany where it is modified in order to become a 360-degree ballistic and explosive immune SUV.

Volvo XC90 Armoured Inside

With all the protection equipment on board, the Volvo XC90 Armoured weighs good 1,400 kilograms more than the standard SUV at 4,490 kilograms. However, the weight mentioned also includes the weight of five occupants. The significant increase in the weight is due to the high-strength 10 mm thick steel and an up to 50 mm thick glass.

Volvo XC90 Armoured Window

Considering the increase in the weight, the SUV also gets a new set of brakes and along with a much more capable suspension system that can handle 4.5 tonnes. In case you are looking for an armoured vehicle but the Volvo XC90 Armoured is a deal too expensive for you, Impenetra Armor Protective Systems in the Philippines can modify SUVs like Toyota Fortuner and Mitsubishi Montero Sport, vans like Kia Grand Carnival and Toyota Hiace and make them bulletproof. Moreover, they can even make you an armoured pickup using the Nissan Navara or any other pickup truck.
