Outside
The Volvo XC60 is a typical XC design language, a mix of passengers and coupe-like car shapes - including a touch of well-known Volvo design elements. Formula-drive position, with big wheels "corners", lifted visual platform and a very high waistline - all contribute to an impression strong and durable. A V-shaped, ie front spoiler, LED lamps, bonnet, goes all the way back.
The rear is marked by the tail lamps with micro optics and LED technology. The lamps, distributing light in a particular way, giving the impression of a characteristic "Volvo" design.

The roof rails provide a solid feel and tight. They are available in two versions - Charcoal (standard) or Silk-Metal - and built into the car at the factory.
Body
Front advanced structure consists of deformation zones of different grades of steel, each of which has a specific role in the collision. The structure was designed to help, providing better protection in a frontal impact.
Secondary structures of different steel grades and a number of tubes and members are all designed to "move" on the side of the body to help reduce the risk of intrusion of the passenger. Volvo Side Impact Protection System helps absorbing the forces to maintain adequate space for passengers.
Bottom rail
The front structure is completed by a lower beam that adapts to the front elevation of normal size cars. In this way the deformation zones and the other machine to run their aim was to offer protection to passengers in the car.
News - Overview

Roll Stability Control is an active function that intervenes in situations where the car is exposed to forces that could cause it to roll. It helps stabilize the car and reduces the risk of rollover in an accident.
If an accident happens rollover protection system with roll-over to protect passengers. An inclination sensor included in the Roll Stability Control continuously reads the cars roll rate. If limit values are exceeded, the system takes such measures as the deployment of curtain airbags. The Roll-Over Protection System is a complex system that includes the security structure of the body and the SRS components.
The interior is driver oriented and designed to create an impression of dynamism. The lines and surfaces of the panels connect different interior panels with each other to create a style in harmony with "loops". Thick and thin lines contribute to the XC profile.
The characteristic of the floating center console and gives an impression of dynamism and sportiness. The center console is slightly angled toward the driver to accelerate the momentum of the driver. The visual "X" on the seats and backrests enhances the dynamic look.

The 3-liter six-cylinder turbo engine is transversely mounted and very compact. The engine delivers 285 horsepower and 400 Nm of torque, instead of low to high speed. The turbo-six providing a high level of driving pleasure, with quick throttle response at all speeds, ideal for quick overtaking, for example.
Volvo XC60 is available with two five-cylinder turbo-diesel that produces 163 hp and 340 Nm or 185 hp and 400 Nm diesel engines combine low fuel consumption with sporty driving performance. Handling is very good even with a heavy load or towing a trailer. Both engines are equipped with a diesel particulate filter (DPF) to help reduce the amount of harmful particles in the exhaust.
Six-speed automatic with Geartronic
The compact, six-speed automatic transmission was developed to treat high torques developed by engines such as T6 and the powerful D5 diesel engine. Geartronic automatic transmission can be used as a manual as well.
A six-speed manual
The six-speed manual transmission offers a good pulling power of each relationship in order to combine rapid acceleration with high top speed.
All Wheel Drive (AWD) for stability
All Wheel Drive is an electronically controlled system that distributes engine power between front and rear wheels quickly and automatically, depending on which pair of wheels (front or rear wheels) has the best grip yet. The system helps to increase stability and reduces under / oversteer, and contributes to increased driver control and ride comfort.
Help stabilize the team TSA (Trailer) to stabilize the car and trailer
Trailer Stability Assist is intended to stabilize the vehicle and the trailer. The system detects if the trailer starts "snaking", a phenomenon that can occur at certain speeds depending on the trailer and how it is loaded. If Trailer Stability Assist senses snaking tendencies, the car brakes individual wheels to counteract the vibrations. Trailer Stability Assist is activated at speeds between 60 and 160 mph.
In most developed Dynamic Stability and Traction Control (DSTC)
Volvo's Dynamic Stability and Traction Control System has been further developed and registered the vehicle roll rate continuously, so the opportunity to detect slowly built on skates at an early stage. In general, the system helps to stabilize the elusive movements of the car, especially when the car is exposed to high lateral forces.
Hill Descent Control controls the speed of the car automatically when driving on steep slopes. The Hill Descent Control feature allows the driver to concentrate fully on driving when descending steep hills. The driver can control the speed with the brake pedal or the accelerator when Hill Descent Control is activated.
Volvo Four-C according to monitor the movements of the image and selects a set of chassis to suit a certain style of driving. The driver can choose between three settings: Comfort, Sport and Advanced.

The Volvo XC60 is equipped with a speed dependent and progressive power steering for easier handling at low speeds. One of the three levels of government force can be selected according to different drivers and driving conditions.
News - City Safety
City Safety is a new function, sensing if vehicles ahead are moving slower or stationary. By measuring vehicle speed and distance to the vehicle ahead, the City Safety position to calculate the braking force needed when approaching the other vehicle. In a situation where the calculated braking force needed when a certain level, and the driver did not respond, City Safety function senses that a collision is imminent.
Prepared in advance the limits - a new feature - is able to produce / adjust belts and airbags to an expected impact load at the bottom or slightly serious collisions before the real impact happens. It means that seat belts and airbags get some 'extra' time to prepare before the impact and help make seat belts and airbags even more effective. Remember to always use seat belts while driving or traveling in a car. Prepared ahead of time constraints is a standard feature in Volvo XC60.
