All-New Volvo XC60 To Feature New Safety Systems — It Wouldn't Be A Volvo Without It
“We have all of the benefits of the safety technology we introduced in our larger 90 Series cars in the new XC60.”
At the Geneva Motor Show, Volvo is ready to showcase the all-new Volvo XC60 with many advanced driver assistance systems. The new systems are aimed at making the new model safer than ever before.
Volvo has updated its City Safety program for starters, which now include steering support on top of the automatic braking, it can help to avoid an accident. The operational range of the steering system is between 50 and 100 km/h, and the system will work with automatic braking.
Another important feature which the company first dubbed Oncoming Lane Mitigation will alert the driver when the car wanders off the lane, and the steering assist will guide them back onto the correct path.
Like the system above, the Oncoming Lane Mitigation will operate between 60 and 100 km/h. Add to that; there is a Blind Spot Information System, which works with steering assist to avoid collisions with vehicles in a blind spot.
Malin Ekholm, Volvo Cars Safety Center Senior Director, said, "We have all of the benefits of the safety technology we introduced in our larger 90 Series cars in the new XC60.
"This is fully in-line with our strategic approach to develop automotive safety systems based on real-life, real-road safety. Our vision is that no one will be killed or seriously injured in a new Volvo car by the year 2020."
