This is Volvo’s crucial new XC60 crossover, a smaller 4×4 from the maker of the XC90, with which the Swedish brand hopes to appeal to younger prospective buyer. The new XC60 is ready for launch at the Geneva motor show next month. Volvo says it” combines the athletic, flowing lines of a coupe with the ground clearance and safety of an SUV”. In fact, Volvo claims the XC60 is the safest car it 8217; s ever built, thanks to new high-tech collision avoidance system it features called City Safety. Volvo 8217; s latest safety feature is provided as standard on all XC60s. At low speeds for example crawling along in an urban traffic jam the car will brake automatically if sensors detect a potential impact. It 8217; s an active system unlike passive crash mitigation systems which simply minimise the effects of an unavoidable crash, and is intended to prevent those low speed bumps caused by concentration lapses, and should increase pedestrian safety too.
