In 2012, Volvo XC90, shown for the first time in New York International Auto Show, has a more car-like design, a redesigned interior, a brand new Volvo 3.2-liter six-cylinder engine, and of course improvements to the legendary Volvo safety.

The Volvo XC90 SUV shot the scene in 2003 with a series of innovations in the premium SUV segment. Now, four years later, Volvo Car Corporation is introducing more XC90 with its fixed on the segment to the next level.

"We are moving deliberately upward in the premium segment. To make the highly successful XC90 even more attractive, we have raised the luxury quotient of the vehicle and passenger car like comfort," says Fredrik Arp, President and CEO Volvo Cars.

The new 2012 XC90 is intended to strengthen Volvo Cars' position in an SUV market that has received rave reviews vehicle, quickly becoming "The Next Generation SUV."

"We have listened keenly to our customers and refined the vehicle to improve our competitive position on both sides of the Atlantic. We already have a winning concept, so the goal was to refine rather than making major changes, "said Jean Arp. "Lines improved, more sophisticated materials and a better driving experience without compromising on safety requirements and good environmental performance of the powertrain," says Arp.
 


Continued success

Volvo XC90 has been and continues to be a huge sales success for Volvo Cars. Of its original volume estimated annual 50,000 units was successively increased production to meet demand. In 2005, the production of the XC90, the Torslanda plant in Sweden was approaching 90 000 units.

A new, enhanced Volvo XC90 will start production in spring 2006, arriving in showrooms in the United States during the summer. In the United States is still the largest single market model, which account for 50 percent of total sales.

New, advanced in-line six engine

Since the introduction XC90 engines are gradually refined, resulting in entirely new engine variants.

Replacing the power of 208, five-cylinder turbo will be a new 3.2-liter inline six. The new engine uses the latest technology to keep the same exterior dimensions and fuel consumption as a five-cylinder unit.

The engine, which consists primarily of aluminum, is rated at 235 horsepower and 236 lb.-ft. of torque.

The 2007 XC90 is available with V8 Volvo compactness and energy efficiency (311 hp, 325 lb / ft of torque). The two lines of six and V8 engines will be mated to a six-speed Geartronic automatic transmission and the Volvo AWD system with Instant Traction.

"With the state of the art six and eight cylinders in the United States, we will use a customer segment much broader," says Hans Wikman, Vice President Vehicle Line Large car at Volvo Car Corporation.

At the same time, the engine delivers good fuel economy. For security reasons collision, the engine is designed with extremely compact dimensions and installed in the engine compartment.

The valve train features Variable Cam Timing (VCT) and Cam Profile Switching (CPS) to control valve lift and duration on the inlet side - two key elements in providing the engine with excellent flexibility. CPS determines valve lift, the system checks the length of CTV over a wide operating range.

With CPS, the camshaft lifts the inlet valves at two different heights depending on engine speed and load. In normal driving butterfly with small openings and engine speed, fuel consumption is moderate, but torque is sufficient to provide good maneuverability.

Variable Intake System (VIS) allows adjustment of the intake manifold according to the current driving situation, which is used to extract the maximum power throughout the entire engine speed range.

Compact high-security incident

Although the 3.2-liter engine, but it is also very compact. Its small size allows the engine to occupy a minimal amount of space under the hood, which reduces the risk of intrusion into the cabin of a collision.
 


Compact size of the engine were obtained by placing the associated components, such as the power steering pump and air conditioning compressor behind the engine and transmission before. The alternator is direct-driven and fitted with an engine block. In addition, vibration damper, which compensates for vibrations of the crankshaft with six-cylinder relatively long, has been integrated into the engine block.

2012 Volvo XC60 Review

The new Volvo XC60 is the first vehicle of a new generation of contemporary cross-over concept. It is a combination of a traditional city vehicle and XC vehicle aimed at young, urban professionals an active life. The Volvo XC60 is a sporty and dynamic car with a stylish exterior and interior styling and versatile functionality.

Outside

The Volvo XC60 is a typical XC design language, a mix of passengers and coupe-like car shapes - including a touch of well-known Volvo design elements. Formula-drive position, with big wheels "corners", lifted visual platform and a very high waistline - all contribute to an impression strong and durable. A V-shaped, ie front spoiler, LED lamps, bonnet, goes all the way back.

The rear is marked by the tail lamps with micro optics and LED technology. The lamps, distributing light in a particular way, giving the impression of a characteristic "Volvo" design.
 


Integrated roof rails

The roof rails provide a solid feel and tight. They are available in two versions - Charcoal (standard) or Silk-Metal - and built into the car at the factory.

Body

Front advanced structure consists of deformation zones of different grades of steel, each of which has a specific role in the collision. The structure was designed to help, providing better protection in a frontal impact.

Secondary structures of different steel grades and a number of tubes and members are all designed to "move" on the side of the body to help reduce the risk of intrusion of the passenger. Volvo Side Impact Protection System helps absorbing the forces to maintain adequate space for passengers.

Bottom rail

The front structure is completed by a lower beam that adapts to the front elevation of normal size cars. In this way the deformation zones and the other machine to run their aim was to offer protection to passengers in the car.

News - Overview

The panoramic roof is a detail that replaces the traditional sunroof. It is divided into two sections and gives the interior a feeling of airy and fresh. The glass roof is tinted and laminated.

Laminated glass contributes to improved safety

Laminated glass can be selected from all the windows the car that much more difficult to break-in period.

Roll Stability Control (RSC) and Roll-Over Protection System (ROPS)

Roll Stability Control is an active function that intervenes in situations where the car is exposed to forces that could cause it to roll. It helps stabilize the car and reduces the risk of rollover in an accident.

If an accident happens rollover protection system with roll-over to protect passengers. An inclination sensor included in the Roll Stability Control continuously reads the cars roll rate. If limit values ??are exceeded, the system takes such measures as the deployment of curtain airbags. The Roll-Over Protection System is a complex system that includes the security structure of the body and the SRS components.
 


Inside

The interior is driver oriented and designed to create an impression of dynamism. The lines and surfaces of the panels connect different interior panels with each other to create a style in harmony with "loops". Thick and thin lines contribute to the XC profile.

The characteristic of the floating center console and gives an impression of dynamism and sportiness. The center console is slightly angled toward the driver to accelerate the momentum of the driver. The visual "X" on the seats and backrests enhances the dynamic look.

Practical cargo area

The cargo area has a key load floor covering two storage areas, one for staff and one for dirty or wet items. Cover charge is spread over the entire loading area. The rear door prevents the door from opening when the car is closed and locked.

Three levels of interior

The internal levels are available for the following Volvo XC60

Textile full - two different fabrics and available in black or off-Soft Beige.

T-Tec and textile - available in Anthracite / Off-black or beige / mocha.

Outside of black or beige soft leather - available with accent colors cal / Off-black or beige / brown espresso.

Two wood inlays

Two different wood inlays, oak classic Nordic. The standard base theme is called Charcoal, and another song called brushed aluminum inlays.

Power tailgate

The optional power tailgate can be opened automatically in three ways - through remote control, a button on the panel lights or open the back door with the handle. The automatic opening feature is very useful if you approach the car loaded with shopping bags.

Back seat to three sections

The three-split (40/20/40) and the rear seat back has two separate seats with armrests in the middle, or three seats with safety belts for each occupant. The seat cushions are fixed and the file (s) can be individually folded.

Six-cylinder turbo

The 3-liter six-cylinder turbo engine is transversely mounted and very compact. The engine delivers 285 horsepower and 400 Nm of torque, instead of low to high speed. The turbo-six providing a high level of driving pleasure, with quick throttle response at all speeds, ideal for quick overtaking, for example.
 


Five-cylinder turbo-diesel engine in two versions

Volvo XC60 is available with two five-cylinder turbo-diesel that produces 163 hp and 340 Nm or 185 hp and 400 Nm diesel engines combine low fuel consumption with sporty driving performance. Handling is very good even with a heavy load or towing a trailer. Both engines are equipped with a diesel particulate filter (DPF) to help reduce the amount of harmful particles in the exhaust.

Six-speed automatic with Geartronic

The compact, six-speed automatic transmission was developed to treat high torques developed by engines such as T6 and the powerful D5 diesel engine. Geartronic automatic transmission can be used as a manual as well.

A six-speed manual

The six-speed manual transmission offers a good pulling power of each relationship in order to combine rapid acceleration with high top speed.

All Wheel Drive (AWD) for stability

All Wheel Drive is an electronically controlled system that distributes engine power between front and rear wheels quickly and automatically, depending on which pair of wheels (front or rear wheels) has the best grip yet. The system helps to increase stability and reduces under / oversteer, and contributes to increased driver control and ride comfort.
 


The system is equipped with pretensions � which improves take-off speed and provides more traction on slippery surfaces.

Help stabilize the team TSA (Trailer) to stabilize the car and trailer

Trailer Stability Assist is intended to stabilize the vehicle and the trailer. The system detects if the trailer starts "snaking", a phenomenon that can occur at certain speeds depending on the trailer and how it is loaded. If Trailer Stability Assist senses snaking tendencies, the car brakes individual wheels to counteract the vibrations. Trailer Stability Assist is activated at speeds between 60 and 160 mph.

In most developed Dynamic Stability and Traction Control (DSTC)

Volvo's Dynamic Stability and Traction Control System has been further developed and registered the vehicle roll rate continuously, so the opportunity to detect slowly built on skates at an early stage. In general, the system helps to stabilize the elusive movements of the car, especially when the car is exposed to high lateral forces.
 


Hill Descent Control (HDC) for steep

Hill Descent Control controls the speed of the car automatically when driving on steep slopes. The Hill Descent Control feature allows the driver to concentrate fully on driving when descending steep hills. The driver can control the speed with the brake pedal or the accelerator when Hill Descent Control is activated.
 


Continuously controlled chassis concept (Four-C)

Volvo Four-C according to monitor the movements of the image and selects a set of chassis to suit a certain style of driving. The driver can choose between three settings: Comfort, Sport and Advanced.

Speed-sensitive power steering contributes to easier steering

The Volvo XC60 is equipped with a speed dependent and progressive power steering for easier handling at low speeds. One of the three levels of government force can be selected according to different drivers and driving conditions.

News - City Safety

City Safety is a new function, sensing if vehicles ahead are moving slower or stationary. By measuring vehicle speed and distance to the vehicle ahead, the City Safety position to calculate the braking force needed when approaching the other vehicle. In a situation where the calculated braking force needed when a certain level, and the driver did not respond, City Safety function senses that a collision is imminent.
 


The function is a standard feature is activated if the vehicle speed is below 30 km / h (19 mph). In situations where the speed difference between vehicles is 15 km / h (9 mph) or less, a collision can be avoided entirely. In a situation of possible conflict in which the speed difference between vehicles is between 15-30 km / h (19.09 mph), City Safety alone can not avoid a collision. However, the consequences of the impending collision can be reduced significantly because the system will intervene to reduce speed when the crash occurs.
 


News - ready restrictions

Prepared in advance the limits - a new feature - is able to produce / adjust belts and airbags to an expected impact load at the bottom or slightly serious collisions before the real impact happens. It means that seat belts and airbags get some 'extra' time to prepare before the impact and help make seat belts and airbags even more effective. Remember to always use seat belts while driving or traveling in a car. Prepared ahead of time constraints is a standard feature in Volvo XC60.

Collision Warning with Auto Brake warns the driver
 

 
Collision Warning with Auto Brake warns the driver if the distance of a vehicle ahead suddenly decreases. The feature helps to give the driver a good chance to avoid a collision. The system braking function prepares for heavy braking and brakes the car automatically (with up to 50% of the maximum braking power) if the driver has not reacted to the warning signal. Collision Warning with Auto Brake has an optional feature.

2012 Volvo S60 Review

The all-new Volvo S60 will have its international debut at the Geneva Motor Show, Tuesday, March 2, 2010.Presented in one of the most competitive segments of the automotive world is supported by an elegant new coup�-like design, dynamic driving characteristics and innovative technologies for detecting pedestrians safety.

The general form of a brand new Volvo S60 is a coupe, a sportier and more clearly than any previous Volvo. Its design, which promises excellent driving characteristics, even before getting behind the wheel. To provide the highest levels of driving pleasure, the cycling team has refined every detail, that affect the properties of the car and drive to develop the race to offer dynamic ride ever seen before in the Volvo.
 


The new S60 is available with a choice of two diesel engines start, and a gasoline engine, enhanced, including a powerful 3.0-liter gasoline version T6 with 304bhp, 205bhp 2.4-liter and 2.0-liter powerplant D3 D5 163bhp. Drive version powered by a 1.6 liter diesel with CO2 emissions of around 115g/km and fuel economy up to 65.7mpg (combined cycle, an initial value) range of moves later, in 2011.

DESIGN

In its general form, the all-new Volvo S60 a four-door coupe - sportier and sharper than the previous version.

The C-pillar of the new Volvo S60 goes back to the taillights - and the thin-coupe-like roof line with a new form of shoulders on both sides of the lower body. This creates gentle wave twice the line of headlights and taillights on the back.

The Volvo S60 is athletic stance accentuated sculpted hood and short crossing in front and behind, as well as Volvo's design team calls the project "track." Lines of cars do not end abruptly, but staff will continue to flow, echoing forms a smooth track.

This sport can be further enhanced with an elegant kit that includes front and rear skid plates, two images of low value, mid-sill plates, exhaust tailpipe finishers and 18-inch light alloy wheels.
 


Volvo designers have also used the LED (light emitting diode) to create the distinctive signature headlights and taillights of the car that are clearly identifiable as a Volvo S60, even in the dark.

The new Volvo S60 was presented with a range of exterior colors, including two new colors: copper and vibrant Electrum Gold.

The beginning of a new dynamic

The new Volvo S60 is the sportiest Volvo ever built, and during the development process, the team refined chassis tuning all the details of the driving experience. The result of his work is a new dynamic chassis design, standard on all new Volvo S60.

The steering gear ratio is 10 percent faster than previous models to provide improved steering feel and sharper response. Thick steering column and rigid tube shrubs greater torsional rigidity by 100 percent. This also contributes to the greater sense of contact with the wheels and the road.

The pillars are thick spring-piston connection with the sports chassis of the Volvo S80. The resulting increase of 47 percent means that the rigidity of the structure of the body is better able to absorb lateral loads. The sources are shorter and stiffer than before, and the Eigen frequency increased by 10 percent. The rigidity of the front legs of springs has increased by 50 percent. The front subframe bushes and rear are two times more rigid compared to previous models. Rings linking arms have also been optimized for sporty driving and total control.

Brackets on the rear shock absorber is made of PUR (polyurethane) instead of rubber to give a better balance between comfort and dynamic control.

S�llqvist Stefan, head of Volvo S60 chassis development said: "We spent weeks fine-tuning the shock absorbers in the English countryside we drove on the old Roman roads that have never received a couple of layers of asphalt over centuries - a perfect environment for. find the good qualities of depreciation. "
 


Advanced Driving

Dynamic Stability and Traction Control (DSTC) in the all-new Volvo S60 has a number of advanced features for improving driving pleasure and safety. Volvo S60 is the first sedan in the market with stability control Volvo Advanced. With a new rollover sensor, it is possible to identify the tendency to slip a very early stage. This means that the stability control system-can intervene earlier and more accurately. Advanced Stability Control is a great asset in driving dynamics, involving significant lateral forces.

New angle of traction control for smoother curves

The new dynamic chassis is supported by a number of electronic systems which intensifies the sporty driving experience. Traction Control Corner is a new feature that uses the guidance of the couple so that the car takes corners more smoothly. This technology is a further refinement of the DSTC system. When you take a curve inside the car driven wheel brake at the same time that more power is transmitted to the outside wheels. This allows the driver to take the corner more tightly, reducing any tendency to understeer.

Advanced, integrated braking functions

The advanced braking system is an important part of the dynamic characteristics of driving the new Volvo S60. Interact with a host of features to provide maximum stopping distance in all scenarios. The technology includes:

Ready Brake Alert can predict when an emergency braking is required. The calipers used lightly brake discs even before the driver depresses the brake pedal.

Hydraulic Brake Assist helps drivers brake in the shortest distance possible. In an emergency where the driver does not press the brake pedal fast or hard enough, with Hydraulic Brake Assist to operate the ABS system optimally and thus shorten the overall braking distance.

Optimized Hydraulic Brake is a system that enhances braking performance in the company of using the hydraulic brakes to compensate for low vacuum pressure in the brake servo.

Support fading hydraulic brake used to gradually build brake pressure for long, hard braking. This helps reduce the risk of disappearing and maintains pedal feel.

The all-new S60 is equipped with an electronic parking brake as standard.
 


Four-C as an option

All variants of the new Volvo S60 can be specified with Four-C active chassis, which has been modified and refined for better control and comfort. This is an advanced chassis system that uses self-adjusting a series of sensors to continuously monitor the car's behavior. In fractions of seconds, the dampers are adjusted according to the driving situation.

Three alternative chassis settings, just a click of a button, the driver to change the nature of the car: Comfort, Sport or Advanced.

Motor selection

At launch, the Volvo S60 comes with a choice of two diesel and gasoline engines. All engines have been developed to meet the highest requirements for sports driving dynamics with fuel economy competitive.

Two five-cylinder turbo diesel

High performance dual D5 turbo produces 205 horsepower and 420 Nm of torque. Acceleration from 0 to 62 mph takes 7.8 seconds (manual and automatic) and top speed is 146 mph (manual) and 143 mph (automatic). In the latest version of the D5, which was introduced in spring 2009, performance and handling requirements are satisfied by the installation of two turbochargers of different sizes, one taking over from the other and provide extra power in a wide speed range. The result is a careful response and rapid acceleration at all speeds, with seamless transfers to the beach at turbo speed between the two turbochargers. The complementary properties of the two turbos combines high performance and low fuel consumption 47.9mpg (EU combined, preliminary figure).

The advanced fuel injection valve that uses piezoelectric fuel for the precise distribution of fuel into the combustion chamber, the combustion efficiency and reduced emissions accordingly.

Short trips reduce fuel consumption

In addition, the newly developed 2.0-liter engine producing 163hp and 400nm of torque D3. Acceleration from 0 to 62 mph takes 9.2 seconds (manual and automatic) and top speed still 137 mph (manual) and 134 km / h (automatic).

The new five-cylinder 2.0D is basically the same engine as the current 2.4D, but the capacity was reduced and a short ride to optimize fuel consumption. It is a manual shift Fuel consumption is now 54.3mpg (combined, preliminary figure).

The engine has been tuned to deliver reduced fuel consumption and fuel injection is a different type of fuel valve piezoelectric compared to D5 engine. These valves keep the fuel consumption is minimized thanks to an injection pulse extremely fast and precise high pressure. This leads to more efficient combustion.

To give the car better driving properties, the turbocharger has been refined to a high torque at low revs.

The two turbo diesel is available with a manual six-speed standard transmission or an optional six-speed automatic. A maintenance-free particulate filter that traps about 95 percent of soot comes standard in both engines.
 


High performance T6 petrol engine

3.0-liter gasoline engine produces 304 hp T6 and 440 Nm of torque, better acceleration and the smooth running of the road. Acceleration from 0-62 mph takes 6.5 seconds and top speed is 155 mph. Volvo's engineers have managed to reduce fuel consumption by about 10 percent of 27.7 mpg (combined, preliminary figure).

Engine power is transmitted to the wheels via Volvo's second generation six-speed Geartronic automatic. New valves and less friction means faster gear changes than before. AWD (All Wheel Drive) is standard on the T6.

Propulsion diesel below 115 g / km

During the first year of production of a version of the new S60 DRIVe Volvo will be presented with a new 1.6-liter diesel engine. Fuel consumption is an impressive 65.7mpg (EU combined, preliminary figure), which corresponds to CO2 emissions below 115 g / km. The engine produces 115 horsepower and 270 Nm improved torque and only available with a six-speed manual transmission.

Later, during the first year of production, the all-new Volvo S60 is available with a 2.0 GTDi variant (T5), which produces 240 hp and 320 Nm of torque. In addition, there will be a 1.6-liter GTDi available in two versions: 180 hp (T4) and 150 hp (T3) with a torque of 240 Nm

All motors are available in combination GTDi Volvo Powershift transmission with optional automatic transmission six-speed manual or six-speed manual. The concept Powershift operates as two parallel manual gearboxes with clutch independent, leading to rapid and efficient fuel.

Pedestrian Detection with all braking functions

The all-new Volvo S60 is equipped with innovative pedestrian detection system Full Auto Brake. Pedestrian detection radar consists of a newly developed integrated into the grille of the vehicle, a camera mounted on the front of the rearview mirror, and a central control unit. The task of the radar is to detect any object in front of the car and determine the distance to it. The device determines which kind of object it is.

All functions of the braking technology is also responsible for the vehicle in front, which are stationary or moving in the same direction as the car is equipped with the system.

Action on the new dual-mode radar much broader vision to ensure that pedestrians step into the roadway can be detected early. The camera has higher resolution than the previous generation of automotive brake that enables the detection of a model of pedestrian movement.

"The auto-brake system requires that the subject is confirmed by radar and camera. Thanks to advanced sensor technology used, it is now possible to increase braking power in its entirety," says Thomas Broberg, Senior Safety at Volvo Cars.
 


"Pedestrian Detection with sufficient reliability was a complex challenge. Our innovative technology is programmed to detect patterns of pedestrian movement and also to determine if he or she is likely to enter the road in front of the car. The system can detect pedestrians, which is 80 inches and above, ie including children. "

The new technology provides maximum braking force

In an emergency, the driver first receives a warning tone, combined with a flashing light-up display windshield. In order to obtain an immediate and intuitive, this is a warning to remember the brake light. At the same time, the car brakes are pre-loaded. If the driver does not react to the warning and the incident is imminent, the maximum braking force is applied automatically.

This technology has the same limitations as the human eye, and like us, he "sees" less well in the dark and in bad weather.

Pedestrian Detection with Full Auto Brake can avoid a collision with a pedestrian at speeds up to 21 miles per hour, if the driver does not react in time. At higher speeds, the focus is on reducing the speed of the car as much as possible before impact. Reducing speed to 21 mph.

Statistics show that vehicle speed is of great importance for the outcome of the accident. A lower rate of power means that the risk of serious injury significantly reduced. For example, if the speed is cut from 30 mph to 15 mph, is pedestrian detection with Full Auto Brake is expected to reduce the risk of death by as much as 20 percent and in some cases up to 85 percent.

City Safety

The new Volvo S60 is the standard City Safety, which has seen his older brother - the XC60. The system can reduce or even completely avoid the low-speed rear-end events at a maximum speed of 18 mph.
 


Additional safety systems available:

Driver Alert Control (DAC). Unique technology to alert tired and distracted drivers. This function controls the car's progress between markers Lane and warns the driver if his driving model will change randomly, or in an uncontrolled manner.

Information system for blind spots (BLIS) to detect vehicles in the back corner of deaths on both sides of the car. A warning light next to the corresponding mirror illuminates to alert the driver of danger.

Active Bi-Xenon lights are articulated headlights that follow the curve of the road. Better chance for lighting when driving in the dark on winding roads.

Lane Departure Warning alerts the driver if the car crosses the lane markers without using the indicator.

Advanced Side Impact Protection System

Side airbags, seat-mounted

Improved curtain airbags

Whiplash Protection System

Inside the cabin

Drivers and passengers can experience the new agile chassis cab comfort with spacious and refined in its entirety. Inside the new Volvo S60 has been designed with driver-focused information, but still a five comfortable seats offer all occupants of the vehicle. The rear seats sculpted exterior gives the passenger side of the welcome support of the community. Knee room in the rear seat increased by 30 mm compared to the previous-generation Volvo S60.
 


The designers have also taken inspiration from outside the circuit inside the car. "Every detail seems to be moving. All the lines of" hugging "the cockpit. The instruments and center console are oriented toward the driver to create a sense of focus and control. The new dynamics of the steering wheel with three branches and new sports seats with additional lateral support are standard. There is no compromise on any part of the dynamic approach we have adopted since the beginning, "says Jonathan Disley, head of interior design in the new Volvo S60.

Ease of storage is another important part of interior comfort. The new Volvo S60 is a storage compartment behind the center console and one for the center console armrest, door pockets space for books, maps, drinks bottles and cans. Both front and rear passengers are seated in their pockets at your fingertips. 40/60 split rear bench, and the opening of the boot is made from 100 mm wider than the previous generation Volvo S60.

Beige and black are the primary colors and the inner zone, which is seasoned with a new light the shadow of Beechwood Brown - beige leather interior and proud of its roots dating back to the classic Volvo P1800 ES models like the 164 and
 


Interior clean area for comfort

The climate system electronic control (ECC) provides an automatic temperature control and ventilation. The all-new Volvo S60 can be equipped with IAQS System (Indoor Air Quality), which prevents particles and odors from entering the cabin. To provide passengers with very sensitive, even the best climate comfort system has also been equipped with Clean Zone Interior, a system based on ECC and IAQS. When the car open with the remote, cab, automatic vent, if the outside temperature exceeds 10 degrees Celsius.

The all-new Volvo S60 is also equipped with:

Optional Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with assistance from the queue, which automatically maintains a set distance to the vehicle in front and drive at speeds below 18 mph, all the way until it stops.

Optional front and rear parking sensors and a camera on the back of the park.

Optional front grille of the camera, with a field of view of 180 degrees, which can "see around the corner" to help the driver to negotiate a blind exit the park and increases safety.

New infotainment system

The new Volvo S60 can also be a new infotainment system, which combines data from the audio, navigation system, mobile telephony and other functions of the color display with five or seven inches at the top of the center console. The screen is a great opportunity to make it easier for the driver to keep eyes on the road.

All functions can be controlled from the steering wheel or via controls located directly below the color display. In addition, a separate remote for passengers to use. Integrated Navigation with voice command is optional, as is the ability to use Bluetooth to connect the driver's own mobile phone to the infotainment system of the car.

One of the first cars with Audyssey Laboratories MultEQ

The new Volvo S60 is one of the first cars in the world to use Audyssey Laboratories MultEQ technology, the standard room acoustics of home and professional market.

MultEQ eliminates the distortion caused by the acoustics of the cabin for a clear sound for everyone in the car.
 


In addition to top-of-the-line Premium Sound, which comes with a seven-inch screen, the new Volvo S60 is available with a choice of three audio systems:

Performance - with a 4x20-watt amplifier, six speakers and five inches.
