Safe, stunning and smart - the new Volvo XC60 has what the crossover customer dreams about.
The top executive at Volvo Car Corporation says the new Volvo XC60 is stepping boldly into what is currently the automotive world's fastest-growing segment the small premium crossover segment dressed in a thrilling blend of muscular XC capability and the sporty charisma of a coupe.
"In order to succeed in that kind of competition, you have to stick your chin out and create a car that stands out from the crowd," explains Arp. "The new XC60 bases its unique appeal on the synthesis between daringly sporty design and a range of intelligent safety systems that help the driver avoid accidents."
The big safety news for the XC60 is City Safety - a unique feature that can help the driver avoid or reduce the effects of low-speed impacts that are common in city and stop-and-go traffic. If the XC60's sensors determine that a collision with the vehicle in front is imminent and the driver does not react, the Volvo applies the brakes autonomously in an effort to reduce the severity of the impact.
"We are first manufacturer in the world to offer this type of feature as standard," says Arp. "City Safety clearly advertises that the new XC60 is the safest vehicle Volvo has ever produced. The crossover is packed with our accumulated safety know-how and technology, both when it comes to preventing accidents and protecting all the occupants in a collision."
Six-cylinder turbo
The six-cylinder turbocharged T6 engine producing 281 horsepower. All Wheel Drive (AWD) with Instant Traction is fitted as standard.
"Owing to its compact dimensions, the XC60 is 20 cm shorter than the XC70 and lower than the XC90 - it continues our range of slimmed-down car models with high energy efficiency," reveals Arp.
The chassis setting is aggressively sporty without losing anything in terms of comfort. Sitting behind the wheel of the new XC60, it becomes clear the vehicle was built to deliver a rewarding driving experience.
