the ALL-NEW Volvo V60 There’s more here than a new car. There’s liberation from conformity. There’s the rhythm of the city and the lullaby of the countryside. There’s the exhilaration of the curve and the adrenaline surge of the straight. There’s the courage to explore. There’s the thrill of discovering something new. There’s the satisfaction of being able to share it with the people you love. And there’s the pleasure of finding out it’s just what you’ve been searching for: the ALL-NEW volvo v60. That’s why you drive one. The workhorse gets wicked. Like every example of change, it started with an idea. A spark that ignited imaginations, setting in motion an irreversible, irresistible chain of events. In this case, the idea was simple – create the world’s sportiest, sexiest, most dynamic Sportswagon. A million pulse-quickening moments later, it’s here. We call it the V60, but you’d be excused for using more emotional language. An enabling, revolutionary, unexpected, exuberant, intense, enchanting, poised, sophisticated and raw modern Scandinavian classic, perhaps? Call it what you like, but one thing is certain – you’ll never call it ordinary. 3 From this day on… You will refuse to compromise. You will avoid the default solution. You will demand more excellence. You will see more beauty. You will measure what is best with raised parameters. You will view normality on revised terms. You will allow your emotions to steer you onto new, exciting roads. Now imagine an open road. Perfect driving conditions. A corner approaches. A smile plays on your lips. Our new improved Dynamic Stability Traction Control has that effect. Adrenaline surges, instinct kicks in – and Corner Traction Control has your back. A slight punch of the accelerator to take you out of the curve is echoed by a small, almost imperceptible skip of your heartbeat. Was that the Four-C semi-active chassis and Advanced Stability Control you just felt? Perhaps. But there’s no time to dwell on that because you just felt an infinitely more powerful emotion – the promise of a world of possibilities ahead. 4 12:25 0.2 mi Mindanoa Way Disc 7 Imagine Mustasch 8 Spectacle sound 10 Double Nature Park assist views 9 Deluxe surroundings Playlists 10 Double Nature 1:26 3:40 11 Entertainment Route proposal 12 Can only be one 71° AUTO CLIMATE 72° Fast 13 Everyone aboard5.6 km 14 For your passengers00:11 Short My V60 Distance Alert 5.5 km 00:12 BLIS Maps DSTC Easy City Safety 6.1 km 00:13 1.0 km Driver Alert Collision Warning Personal settings Lane Depart. Warning Info on time interval Reduced Guard to vehicle ahead Active Bending Lights Auxiliary Lights Man and machine. The conflict is over. Getting the most out of every kilometre you drive involves many different factors. It could be argued that the most defining of these is your relationship with your car. Through the application of smart design we’ve created what we believe is one of the world’s most agreeable, functional and comfortable driving environments: seats that support, caress and can be finely adjusted to suit the most demanding of drivers; a three-spoke steering wheel that exudes sporty confidence; a centre console angled slightly towards the driver for easy access to key functionality; materials chosen for their high quality, allergy-reducing characteristics and ultimate recyclability; ambient cabin lighting that sets a mood of sophistication and more. The details are as endless as are the possibilities. Thankfully, the new Volvo Sensus driver-control interface helps you manage your options. This intuitive computer command system uses the built-in screen and a scroll wheel selector on the steering wheel to make it easy to personalise settings and get the most from all of your on-board technology. Information, entertainment, functionality are easily accessible, easily enjoyed and easily controlled. For man and machine, the conflict is over. 6 Avoid what you love most. The V60 loves people. It welcomes them, embraces them, protects them, entertains them and exhilarates them. It also enables you to avoid them. How come? Well, we’ve created a smart new feature we call Pedestrian Detection with Full Auto Brake. As the name suggests, it detects pedestrians as you drive at speeds up to 35 km/h and if a potential hazard is detected, the brakes 3.9 are automatically applied. To put it in more human terms, you can think of it as several extra pairs of permanently alert eyes. 4.0 Of course, we would never suggest that any function can replace safe driving, but by utilising our unique experience of innovative safety, you can now drive a car that literally takes safety onto the streets. 2.9 9 Relax. It thinks as fast as it moves. An open road. You’re behind the wheel of what is arguably the world’s most dynamic Sportswagon. It doesn’t get better than that, does it? Well, yes it does, because in the V60 you’re also behind the wheel of a car that can see and think in remarkable ways. Take the Adaptive Cruise Control (at all speeds) feature, for example. It supports automatic cruising at speeds up to 200 km/h, ensuring your speed automatically adjusts to maintain a safe distance to cars in front. Should you find yourself in a situation where a collision is imminent, you’ll receive a visual warning and if by chance you miss this, braking occurs automatically. We call it Collision Warning with Full Autobrake. We also call it simple – because the best ideas usually are. 11 City Safety. Mastering the unexpected with laser precision. Always expect the unexpected – nowhere is this more evident than in urban traffic. That’s why the advanced low-speed collision avoidance system City Safety comes as standard in your Volvo V60. Utilising laser technology and active up to 30 km/h, this high-precision system keeps a lookout on the road 6–8 metres ahead. If a vehicle suddenly brakes in front of you and a collision is imminent, City Safety will intervene and brake automatically to help avoid or mitigate a collision. Very courteous in slow- moving city traffic – for you, your passengers, your insurance company and anyone in the car in front of you. Almost like a sixth sense tuned into the city. Sounds like simple common sense to us – which perhaps explains why you’ll find it in a Volvo. 12 Look left. Look right. Now try both at the same time. They say that you never know what’s around the corner. At Volvo, we don’t agree – and we present the front blind view camera which you can add to your V60 as our evidence. Mounted in the front grille, this camera sends a split-screen image of the 180-degree view in front of the car to the dashboard-mounted screen. It is designed to assist when pulling out into blind crossings, leaving tight parking spaces or managing any other driving dilemma that could benefit from an extra pair of eyes – or two. Complement with a rear-mounted camera and this innovative feature takes safety into new territory. Or if you prefer, just around the corner. 15 W 5 x 130 Premium Sound 4 x 40 High Performance Loudspeakers 8 12 Front row seats or back stage passes. The choice is yours. We made it our ambition to ensure you and your passengers enjoy superior entertainment. At the top of the range, you’ll find our Premium Sound Multi Media system. Close your eyes and hear the difference Dolby® Pro Logic® II surround sound, twelve strategically placed speakers and MultEQ room reading technology make. Open them and see how a DVD player, a 7" in-dash colour screen and optional Rear Seat Entertainment screens can transform a drive into an event. Interact with it through standard USB/iPod® interface or wirelessly with Bluetooth®. Fully controllable from the steering wheel, this system delivers an experience that’s as close to being there as it gets. 17 The more you put in, the more you get out. Why limit adventures to the weekend? And why limit your adventures through your choice of car? After all, enjoying life to the max is all about making the most of our capacity. Speaking of which, check out the spacious luggage area on the V60 Sportswagon. Its split 40/20/40 rear seat makes transporting longer items simple without intruding on the wellbeing of your passengers. Good news for golfers and skiers among countless others. Other smart features include a lockable load floor, cargo divider and integrated two-step booster seats. Perfect should you have curious, junior VIP passengers on-board. Style and driving pleasure, uncompromised by functionality. When it comes to what you do in yours, the V60 is a blank page – your story starts here. 18 20 21 Welcome to the drive-in theatre for the 21st century.
