The new Volvo XC60 is stepping boldly into what is currently the automotive world's fastest-growing segment -- the small premium utility segment -- dressed in a thrilling blend of muscular XC capability and the sporty charisma of a coupe.
The big safety news is City Safety -- a unique system that can help the driver avoid or reduce the effects of the type of low-speed impacts that are common in city traffic. If the car is about to strike the vehicle in front and the driver does not react, the car automatically applies the brakes.
The new XC60 will be available with Volvo's six-cylinder turbocharged T6 engine producing 281 horsepower. All Wheel Drive with Instant Traction is standard.
Volvo's engineers developed the XC60's chassis settings for aggressively sporty handling that promotes a feeling of safety and control. At the same time the suspension has been tuned to provide a smooth and comfortable ride befitting a luxury crossover.
The XC60 targets customers who impose high demands on design and high-tech content. One might say that it's all about consumers who've grown up with the microchip as a natural supplement to their breakfast cereal. They're used to the immensely fast pace of development in the world of electronics.
