Volvo Cars reveals new XC60 premium SUV

 

Mar 07, 2017 ID: 204954

 

    

 

Volvo Cars, the premium car maker, today revealed the long-awaited new XC60 premium SUV at the Geneva Motor Show.

 

The new car replaces Volvo’s highly-successful original XC60, which in the nine years since its launch became the bestselling premium mid-sized SUV in Europe with nearly a million units sold globally. The XC60 today represents around 30 per cent of Volvo’s total global sales.

 

“We have a strong heritage in designing stylish and dynamic SUVs that offer the latest in technology. The new XC60 will be no exception. It’s the perfect car for an active lifestyle, and it represents the next step in our transformation plan,” said Håkan Samuelsson, President and Chief Executive, Volvo Car Group.  

New comfort and safety technology

The new XC60, one of the safest cars ever made, is fully-loaded with new technology. Steer Assist has been added to the ground-breaking City Safety system. A new safety system called Oncoming Lane Mitigation uses steer assist to help mitigate head-on collisions, while Volvo’s Blind Spot Indication System (BLIS) now uses Steer Assist functionality to reduce the risk of lane-changing collisions.

 

“We have focused on building a car that can deliver pleasure to all of your senses – from a commanding view of the road ahead in a beautifully appointed and calm cabin, to a safe, inspired and confident ride,” said Henrik Green, Senior Vice President Product & Quality at Volvo Car Group. “We’ve paid particular attention to making life easier for our customers by providing them with the creature comforts and services that take the hassle out of everyday life.”

 

Pilot Assist, Volvo’s advanced semi-autonomous driver assistance system, which takes care of steering, acceleration and braking on well-marked roads up to 130 km/h, is available in the new XC60 as an option.

 

Performance

The new XC60 offers Volvo’s award-winning T8 Twin Engine petrol plug-in hybrid at the top of the powertrain range, delivering 407 hp and acceleration from 0-100 Km in just 5.3 seconds.

 

 “We have a wide range of powertrains. The new XC60 will launch with the diesel D4 engine at 190 hp and the D5 with PowerPulse technology delivering 235 hp. We also have the petrol-powered T5 delivering 254 hp and the T6, which with both turbo and superchargers attached, delivers 320 hp and 400 Nm of torque,” added Henrik Green.

 

But it is not just under the hood that the new XC60 delivers healthy performance. The new CleanZone four-zone climate system removes harmful pollutants and particles from outside the cabin to deliver Scandinavian-fresh air on the inside.

 

Volvo Cars’ driver infotainment and connected services offer, Sensus, and the Volvo On Call app both receive a graphical update with improved usability. As in the 90 Series cars, smartphone integration with CarPlay and Android Auto is also available.

 

Sculpted feel

“The XC60 is an SUV not designed to look down on others but to drive. The exterior has an athletic sculpture with a subtle, timeless quality. The interior is a masterful composition of well-resolved architecture, beautiful materials and the very latest technology - all perfectly blended together. The XC60 provides a true Scandinavian experience which will make our customers feel special,” said Thomas Ingenlath, Senior Vice President, Design at Volvo Car Group.

 

Volvo Cars’ new XC60 is set to go into production in mid-April at the Torslanda Plant in Sweden.

Volvo sta lavorando molto bene

ci sono un po di limiti di package (come qualcuno faceva notare nel topic spy) a lievllo di volumi c'è qualche lieve sproporzione, ma nel complesso una bella macchina

[A.Masera]

Bellissima.

[calatrava]

Resta un gran bel Suv. Interni migliorati tantissimo. Esterni hanno evitato il processo manieristico di Audi (A5) lasciandola molto fresca. Bravi.

Che cofano lungo, sembra una trazione posteriore.

Bella caspita, senza troppi fronzoli, concreta e bella

w le svedesi.. (come diceva un mio amico pornoattore)

tra le nuove 90 e questa hanno parecchio raddrizzato il tiro.

si torna a volumi importanti e massicci, superfici ben levigate, linee personali e riconoscibili. per me è il ritorno dello stile Volvo dopo la scialba parentesi delle attuali serie 40 e 60.

soprattutto addio finalmente all'insulsa forma a cuneo, che su cassoni di questo tipo non ci sta proprio.

solo il posteriore lo trovo un po' tormentato e appesantito da quel fascione trai fari, ma nel complesso direi che è proprio ben riuscita.

decisamente bella cavolo 

[Tony ramirez]

tutti pian piano si stanno allontanando (grazie al cielo) dalla tendenza anni 90 di monovolumizzare tutto, ridando importanza al volume anteriore.
