ccording to Karin Falk, who is the head of the Special Vehicles division of Volvo Cars, "We have had numerous requests for a sportier XC90. They are from customers who appreciate the versatility and comfort of an SUV but who also want a bit more driving pleasure. We have developed the Volvo XC90 Sport especially for them, with a dynamic sport chassis, stiffer anti-roll bars, firmer shock absorbers, a sport-tuned, speed dependent steering system, and larger 19 inch wheels."

Great lux SUV. My only gripe is how loud and coarse that Yamaha V8 sounds under throttle. That sound almost cheapens the experience.

In a few words: It's beautiful, very comfortable, pretty good value and safe but comes with totally bland and uninspiring driving dynamics (compared with the likes of Audi, BMW or Infinity). The engines are merely adequate or outright underpowered if you're into more spirited driving.
I doubt the Sport will achieve much improvement in either acceleration or cornering ability.
