  • Volvola Nouvelle S60
    18 SEPTEMBRE 2019 Année modèle 2020 VOLVOLa nouvelle S60 VOLVOCARS.BE Nous avons voulu que l’interaction avec la toute nouvelle Volvo S60 soit aussi naturelle, intuitive et humaine que possible. Au cœur de cette stratégie se trouve “Sensus”, notre démarche signée Volvo consistant à vous permettre de communiquer instinctivement et de manière unique avec votre véhicule, mais aussi de vous connecter à l’univers numérique. De plus, nous avons doté la nouvelle S60 de la commande vocale pour les fonctions les plus courantes : sélectionnez tout simplement le menu souhaité et adressez-vous à votre nouvelle S60 comme si vous parliez à un humain. Ajoutez-y Volvo On Call, et la connexion entre vous et votre véhicule sera inédite, tout comme le sera celle entre votre véhicule et le monde extérieur. En 1927, nos fondateurs Assar Gabrielsson et Gustaf Larson ont décidé de produire des voitures solides qui soient de taille pour affronter les routes de campagne suédoises. Mais, construire des voitures qui ne soient que robustes, ça ne leur suffisait pas. Ils avaient une vision : « Les voitures sont conduites par des personnes. C’est pourquoi, chez Volvo, le principe directeur derrière tout ce que nous faisons est, et doit rester, la sécurité. » La nouvelle S60 est équipée de série d’un arsenal de technologies de sécurité intuitives. Lors de vos trajets quotidiens, elles vous assistent, elles garantissent votre protection en cas d’accident, mais sur tout, elles permettent d’éviter ou d’atténuer les collisions. Cette approche de la sécurité, nous l’avons baptisée Intelli Safe. Nous savons que les propriétaires de la nouvelle S60 sont des amoureux du volant, mais, sur des routes de plus en plus fréquentées, nul n’est à l’abri des erreurs des autres.
