Offering sophistication, comfort and control, the new Volvo XC60’s latest safety technology helps protect what’s important to you.
Designed in Sweden, the new Volvo XC60 is a mid-size SUV crossover with a uniquely Scandinavian character and refined strength. In 2018 the Volvo XC60 captured hearts around the globe from drivers and critics alike and was awarded the coveted World Car Of The Year title.
With four 2–litre, 4-cylinder turbocharged powertrains to choose from, the Volvo XC60 ensures that every need is catered for. The D4 and D5 diesel deliver 140kW/400Nm and 173kW/480Nm respectively, while the T5 and T6 petrol versions deliver 187kW/350Nm and a whopping 235kW/400 Nm respectively – the T6 using a combination turbo/supercharger. All engines are mated to a super-smooth 8-speed automatic gearbox and an AWD drivetrain for sure-footed handling in all road and weather conditions.
The interior cabin blends exceptional craftsmanship with everyday versatility, using premium selected leather and trim materials. Sitting high in an extraordinarily supportive seat – which is sculpted to fit your body no matter what shape you are – you gaze at a simple dash with a large 22cm portrait high-resolution touchscreen taking centre stage. The menu is simple and intuitive, allowing you to customise your driving experience. Voice control activation enables changes to climate control, navigation, telephony and media functions so that you don’t have to take your eyes off the road.
Innovative technology connects you and your car with the world through Sensus Connect. A personal sim card connects your Volvo to the internet, enabling you to browse the web, access a variety of internet radio and media apps, and facilitates over–the–air diagnostics and software downloads. Connect mobile devices to the Wi-Fi hotspot, stream your favourite tunes via Bluetooth, or access your device apps on your Volvo’s screen through smartphone integration. USB points are standard and optional inductive charging ensures you are always in touch.
Volvo On Call is a unique service that comes standard on the Volvo XC60 and helps motorists communicate with their vehicles. Using a smartphone, you can remotely track your car, lock or unlock the doors, check the fuel level, and remotely start your XC60 to cool or heat the vehicle. In addition, you can keep trip logs and a calendar of meetings with addresses, and download to the car’s navigation system. If you forget to lock your vehicle, you will get a notification. The push of a button in the car connects you with your very own concierge service, roadside assistance, or emergency response through Tracker Connect.
Intellisafe encompasses a myriad of active safety features expected on a Volvo. In addition, Volvo pioneered City Safety – collision avoidance technology – that helps prevent collisions, even on highways. It scans the area around you, detecting other vehicles as well as pedestrians, cyclists and large animals, and automatically applies emergency braking when necessary. City Safety, Driver Alert Control with Lane Keeping Aid, a reverse camera, and Roadsign Information System are standard, while Blind Spot Information System with Cross Traffic Alert and a 360° camera are optional. A special key fob enables you to set speed parameters for less experienced drivers. Adaptive and bending LED headlights complete the comprehensive safety feature list.
What should get potential owners particularly excited is the Pilot Assist feature. This optionally available semi-autonomous driving system combines the Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Keeping Aid to maintain a safe following distance and steer the car at speeds of up to 130km an hour. Keyless entry and a power operated tailgate with foot sensor are great standard convenience features.
There is a full range of accessories to choose from, including styling, packing and loading, protective, performance, and lifestyle components – each one created to complement the look of the XC60 and personalise your driving experience. *
