Volvo XC70
You’re invited to explore new roads and new destinations. Inside and
out, the refined Volvo XC70 is designed around you as driver.
Here, superior all-road and all-weather performance combines with
iconic comfort and state-of-the-art supportive technology to
encourage any escape. This is pure Scandinavian design that lives
any way you choose.
VolvoXC70 is A car with a mission
– your mission.
We designed the XC70 with one single purpose – to empower you and
your desire to drive. So we endowed it with numerous innovative
features, like Hill Descent Control. Simply at the push of a button,
this offers smooth, controlled and safe descents on steep, rough
roads. The system controls braking on each wheel, allowing you to
concentrate fully on steering. Away from the wilderness, Hill
Descent Control also makes it easier to move off when towing a heavy
trailer. The rest of the time you’ll enjoy the benefits of an
advanced chassis and Volvo’s All- Wheel Drive*
(AWD) with Instant Traction™. You’ll find that stability and
handling together with 8.3" ground clearance are at your side – no
matter the road, weather or mission at hand.
Accessories:
SNOW CHAINS
Snow chains help the front drive wheels maintain grip in the
snowiest and iciest conditions. Even in difficult conditions, they
are easy to fit.
FIRST-AID KIT
The first-aid kit is conveniently
carried in the load compartment and contains a variety of bandages.
The contents are stored in different compartments to make it easier
to find what you want in an emergency.
JUMPER CABLES
These 11.5 foot jumper cables make
it possible to "borrow" current from either a separate battery or
from another car -- or the other way around. Strong clamps with
insulated handles offer you the peace of mind that comes with added
protection.
MIRROR
Attached to the middle rear head
restraint, this easily detachable mirror lets you keep a watchful
eye on a child in a rearward-facing child safety seat if they're in
the back of your car.
PORTABLE NAVIGATION SYSTEM
Navigate with style and ease. This
new ultra-thin versatile Garmin nüvi 3790 navigation unit integrates
smoothly with the design of your Volvo. Just fit it into the docking
unit at the windshield pillar. Find the shortest, fastest or most
fuel-saving route – voice recognition control and convenient
multi-touch glass screen technology facilitates operation. Just keep
your hands on the steering wheel and the system will act upon your
spoken commands. Major buildings and points of interest are
displayed in 3D to enhance your overview, and in junctions you're
conveniently guided to the right lane at the right time. Using
Traffic Message Channel (TMC) radio data technology, the navigation
system will let you know if there are traffic disturbances on your
route and recommend an alternative. And the navigation unit is easy
to use outside the automobile – it even remembers where you parked
your automobile.
REAR SEAT ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM (RSE)
Rear Seat Entertainment System with
Dual DVD Players - features two 7" LCD monitors and two DVD players
built into the headrest. This advanced dual screen technology
provides users the option of viewing DVD's, listening to music or
playing games simultaneously on both monitors.
Sound is generated through wireless headphones or through the cars
audio system utilizing the integrated aux input. The headrests match
the interior color of the car as well.
RUNNING BOARDS
The running boards are smoothly
integrated with the sills to enhance the versatile character of the
Volvo XC90. You can stand on these to reach the roof and they also
make it easier to step in or out of the vehicle.
SILVER CROSS BARS
An aerodynamic design element that
compliments the aluminum roof rails and the Volvo design. These
aluminum crossbars also allow you to utilize the roof’s
load-carrying capacity.
SUNSHADE, REAR WINDOWS
Easily attached to the rear side
windows and rear window, these sunshades provide effective
protection from the heat and glare of the sun. And when the
sunshades are not needed, simply remove them.
MUDFLAPS, FRONT AND REAR
Specially developed to match the
design of your Volvo – and an integrated part of the wheel arch –
these mudflaps help protect the car's body from mud and flying
stones.
Volvo SUV's are Innovated for your
enjoyment,
the Volvo safety technologies will
protect more than the fun of driving.
Across the world, Volvo equals safety. And that comes with good
reason, because few carmakers can match our record of safety
innovations and the commitment for safety that has guided us for
more than 80 years. Of course, this makes us extremely proud. But
we’re not satisfied. Because we know what we want to achieve: zero
accidents. This vision calls for innovative thinking and a brand new
approach to the way we design cars. Good news is we’ve already come
a long way. For starters, our cars are more fun and engaging to
drive than ever (because a bored driver will never be a safe
driver). Neither is the technology needed any figment of the
imagination – some are already available. This means driving a Volvo
today is like having a first peek at a very exciting automotive
future – a future where passionate engineering and design do more to
help you get the most out of life.

SAFETY
Safety Preventive
Dynamic Stability and Traction
Control (DSTC) By helping prevent fishtails, spinouts, and
rollovers, stability control technology like DSTC has been described
as one of the most vital safety advances of the past decade. At the
core of DSTC, a gyroscope senses the car’s direction and compares
this with steering wheel movements as well as the actual rotation of
the car’s wheels. DSTC is able to detect a potential skid and help
counteract this by reducing the engine’s power output, or braking on
one or more wheels.
Dual Xenon Headlights with Active Bending Lights (ABL)*
In addition to improving illumination by about using Dual Xenon
light technology, the Active Bending Lights give a boost to your
vision round bends at night. Controlled by microprocessors, the
motorised lamps turn up to 15 degrees in either direction when
driving – reliably lighting up your chosen path. A twilight sensor
disengages the adaptive function during daylight to extend its life
span.
* Standard R-DESIGN, included in the Premier Plus and Platinum trim
level Roll Stability Control (RSC)
In the event of an emergency manuever, Volvo’s Roll Stability
Control (RSC) can step in to help prevent the vehicle from rolling
over. It features a gyroscopic sensor that registers the vehicle’s
lean angle and rollover risk. If required, RSC will cut engine power
or brake one or more of the wheels just enough to reduce the
centrifugal force and help regain balance.
Frontal structure
The generous front deformation
zones are designed to yield in a controlled way to help absorb crash
energy before it reaches the cabin. The transversely mounted and
very compact engine enables optimal use of the deformation zones to
help protect occupants. Longitudinal steel struts help disperse
crash energy away from the front to the rear of the vehicle, further
helping to reduce the strain on the occupants.
SAFETY Protective
Volvo’s interactive safety
technologies In a Volvo, safety is about interaction. Because it’s
not the number of safety features that determines how safe a car is,
it’s how well they seamlessly interact to help protect the
occupants in the event of a collision.
IN A REAR IMPACT the rear deformation zones will help absorb crash
energy. Even behind the third row there’s a good deal of space to
help provide effective protection. The fuel tank is designed to
remain well protected in front of the rear axle.
The head restraints help protect the neck and spine, and
Volvo’s unique Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS) cradles the front
seat occupants in a controlled manner to help prevent whiplash
injuries.
IN A SIDE IMPACT Volvo’s unique Side Impact Protection System (SIPS)
helps distribute the crash forces across the car’s body, away from
the occupants. The side airbags in the front seats help protect the
chest and hip, while the Inflatable Curtain (IC) adds head
protection for all outboard occupants, including the ones in the
third row.
IN A ROLL-OVER a gyroscope activates Volvo’s Roll-Over Protection
System (ROPS). The safety belt pre-tensioners deploy to help keep
occupants more securely restrained, and the Inflatable Curtain (IC)
helps provide head protection. Additionally, the safety cage is
reinforced to help keep the passenger compartment intact.
IN A FRONTAL COLLISION the generous deformation zones will yield to
help absorb crash energy. The compact power train is designed to
help optimise deformation. Inside the vehicle, safety belts interact
with the collapsible steering column and dual-stage airbags to help
keep the occupants out of harm’s way. A lower cross member helps
protect occupants in an oncoming car with lower positioned bumpers.
The front and bonnet are also designed to help reduce the risk of
injury to unprotected road-users.
Roll Stability Control (RSC)
In the event of an emergency
manuever, Volvo’s Roll Stability Control (RSC) can step in to help
prevent the vehicle from rolling over. It features a gyroscopic
sensor that registers the vehicle’s lean angle and rollover risk. If
required, RSC will cut engine power or brake one or more of the
wheels just enough to reduce the centrifugal force and help regain
balance.
Volvo XC60 Wins Prestigious 2010
International Truck of the Year Award
The Volvo XC60 was named 2010
International Truck of the Year by the International Car of the Year
(ICOTY) jury on December 2. The award was given to Doug Speck,
President and CEO of Volvo Cars of North America, LLC at the Volvo
display at the 2009 Los Angeles Auto Show. The XC60 was chosen over
10 new crossovers, SUVs and trucks by a distinguished panel of top
automotive journalists.
"This ties a very pretty bow around what's been a truly amazing year
for Volvo," commented Speck. "The XC60 has not only been recognized
by the media but it's been extremely well received by our
customers."
The 2010 XC60 has helped VCNA earn six consecutive months of
year-over-year sales increases since June.
The XC60 was chosen the winner from a panel of 19 automotive media
from around the U.S. and Canada representing top newspapers,
magazines and websites. The jurors must consider the ICOTY mission
of "honoring vehicles that reflect an emotional connection between
car and consumer lifestyles" when making their nominations.
"The ICOTY awards are not centered on power and performance," said
Courtney Caldwell, ICOTY's creator and executive producer. "It's
about how cars reflect our personalities, lifestyles and self image,
an attitude most consumers identify with."
"This is one of the most prestigious car awards in the world and we
feel very proud to receive it for our best-selling XC60", said
Stephen Odell, President and CEO Volvo Car Corporation.
Once approved by the ICOTY nominating committee, the awards jury
then bases their decision on a number of important criteria: The
vehicle must be new or substantially revised, it must be offered for
sale to the general public by the judging deadline of November 16,
2009, and may not have been previously considered for the ICOTY
Awards.
The International Truck of the Year award marks the 20th accolade
the Volvo XC60 has received since sales began in Europe in late
2008. The XC60 is the first vehicle to offer City Safety as standard
equipment. This unique Volvo technology can help the driver avoid
frontal collisions at low speed. If the driver is about to drive
into the rear of a vehicle and does not react in time, the XC60 will
apply the brakes by itself.
About ICOTY: The ICOTY Awards were founded and launched in 1997 by
Courtney Caldwell, editor-in-chief of Road & Travel Magazine. The
mission of the ICOTY Awards is to shed light on the emotional
connection between cars and consumers. Awards are presented to
automakers that most successfully achieve that goal through the
design and marketing of their vehicles, and how well those vehicles
reflect consumer lifestyles.

Volvo’s refined XC60 T6 AWD funnels brutal turbocharged power
through a silky smooth transmission and all-wheel drive for a quick,
confident driving experience.
The Volvo XC60 T6 AWD is one of the best-driving, most comfortable,
safest, and best-engineered vehicles on the road today. The only
slight mark against this powerful SUV is that the Volvo S60
outshines it for safety and acceleration — a few antiquated features
that Volvo needs to resolve in the next model year.
It’s not every day that you come away from a week-long test and
realize you have driven one of the best cars on the road. And we
have driven some really good ones lately: the Audi A8, the Ford
Explorer, and the Nissan Juke were all leaders in their class. The
Volvo XC60 has that extra “something” that sets it apart.
First, a word about price: We drove the highest-end version of the
2010 XC60, the T6 AWD R-Design, with a 300-horespower engine and
$38,400 price tag. There is a non-R-Design version that also has a
300-hp engine, but our XC60 T6 has a turbo-charged engine that puts
out 325-lb-ft of torque at 6200 rpm, the R-Design that is not a T6
AWD has 236-lb-ft of torque. So we had the best of both worlds: the
T6 turbo and the R-Design styling. Scandinavian luxury comes at a
premium, of course: The entry-level Ford Explorer is $26,190. A more
apt comparison is the BMW X6 crossover that starts at about $52,000. |
