In not too distant feature Volvo will be introducing its latest creation to its already extensively varied line up. Squeezed between existing V50 and V70 it closes the gap between small and large wagon offerings from this Scandinavian Automotive Giant. It’s highly likely it will be positioned to go head-to-head with medium size European luxury models from Audi and BMW garage. And it’s no wonder since Volvo V60 is expected to do very well in Germany. Sleek new body lines with sloped roofline and rear quarter panel gradually diminishing rear quarter window gives it a very sporty look side-on. Volvo demonstration of producing one of the safest cars on the planet has taken yet another quantum leap. With its innovate approach developing revolutionary safety features it continues to r improve on what has been already achieved further cementing its worldwide perception but this time with added creative style producing vehicles that are superior from safety point of view supported by superb designed.
One of the latest gadgets from Volvo world will include Pedestrian Detection system designed to screen the front of the vehicles and advice the driver of unexpected pedestrian emergencies. Providing visual and audio warnings with added brake intervention control should the driver fail to respond resulting in just in time automatic slowing down or stoping of the vehicle. Followed by City Safety adding rear end collision avoidance system to the V60 safety arsenal with primary role to monitor and advice the driver if the car is travelling too fast towards another vehicle and if nessasery applying full emergency breaking. With added Advanced Stability Control and Corner Traction Control it’s no wonder Volvo has earned and continues to maintain its reputation as one of the safest cars on the market. Build to comfortably accommodate 5 adults it also feature 40/20/40 spilt rear seat arrangement so that the rear seats can be folded flat significantly increasing its loading space. It’s highly likely that there will be two possibly three engine choices once the V60 has landed here. Highly sophisticated and powerful T6 3 litre 6 cylinder engine and D5 2.4 litre 5 cylinder twin turbo engine. Both engines will be capable of delivering reasonable performance due to its higher output levels but with respectable fuel economy of 10l/100km for the petrol variant and 5.4l/100km from the diesel. Diesel V60 will channel its authority through six speed automatic or manual transmission. Petrol V60 will benefit from Volvo second generation Geartronic six speed automatic transmission promising improved faster gear changes.
