"The Volvo XC90 has been on the market since 2002, and in that time, it&amp;#039;s received very little in the way of updates. That should all change over the next year or so, as these spy shots show that a next-gen XC90 is on the way. Although it&amp;#039;s not quite what we were expecting after seeing the Concept XC Coupe in Detroit last month, the new XC90 should fit in quite nicely with the current breed of Volvo cars. Thick cladding hides the actual shape of the body panels, but the images show that Volvo is sticking to a tall, squared-off roofline in order to better accommodate the three rows of seating the new XC90 will offer.   Volvo will likely ditch the current lineup of XC90 six- and eight-cylinder engines in place of smaller, more efficient four-cylinder turbocharged mills in both gas and diesel variants. All of those will be paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Expect the new XC90 to launch by the end of this year or in early 2015. Shortly thereafter, it sounds like Volvo will also introduce a plug-in hybrid powertrain for the big SUV. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
