Volvo Updates Its Entire Range- Details and Pictures Inside

The Swedish Auto major, Volvo has now updated its global product range with more features, enhanced looks and lower emissions, which the company has called the 'most extensive development of existing models' in the company’s history. The entire range of Volvo cars including the S60 Saloon, S80 Saloon and XC60 SUV that are sold in India too have received improved equipment levels and new family look. The updated Volvo range is likely to be showcased at the Geneva Motor Show, next month.

"This is the most extensive development of existing models in our company's history. Each of the enhancements is designed around our customers' needs. We have focused on quality and attention to detail in order to give these dynamic models a major boost and sharpen their competitiveness," says Lex Kerssemakers, Senior Vice President, Product Strategy & Vehicle Line Management at Volvo Car Group. He continues: "The S60 and XC60 are our best-selling models in several important markets, and the innovative V60 Plug-in Hybrid has got off to a flying start. We have been listening very carefully to our customers in order to make improvements that ensure that we make these successful cars more attractive."

The new dynamic S60 design, with its purposeful, dynamic appearance, accentuates the car's sporting nature.

"We've really increased the S60's road presence with a new front design. The more focused and determined-looking headlamps help create this new, expressive face," explains Fedde Talsma, Design Director, Exterior. He adds: "We've emphasised the S60's horizontal lines at both the front and rear. Together with details such as a wider grille, daylight running lights and a new LED light guide on the tail lamps, they give the S60 a striking, road-hugging presence. The car has a beauty that is rooted in the natural world. The clean surfaces and contours give it a very Scandinavian feel."

Inside, there are upgrades such as new upholstery colours, new wood inlays, a new headliner, and the silk metal frames around the air vents and light controls. Under the skin, at the heart of the dynamic driving experience, is a wide choice of chassis settings, designed around the customer's personal requirements. The S60 buyer has a choice of three chassis types - Dynamic, Four-C (Continuously Controlled Chassis Concept) and the R-Design Lowered Sport Chassis.

A number of new exterior design cues reinforce the sophisticated contemporary presence of the new Volvo S80. The front and rear bumpers create a ‘stretched' effect to make it look wider and lower. Rectangular Daytime Running Lights at the front give the S80 nose a more contemporary look, while the rounded off classic Volvo lights at the rear visually pull the car down to the ground.

It is the attention to detail that gives the S80 its enhanced sophistication. The S80 Executive interior offers the highest level of all-inclusive luxury, blending craftsmanship with technology, while the Inscription options offer bespoke details that gives the customer the opportunity to truly design the car to his or her personal taste.

And under the skin, at the heart of the best driving experiences is a great chassis. The S80 buyer can choose from two chassis types - Comfort Chassis and Four-C (Continuously Controlled Chassis Concept).

New Volvo XC60

On the exterior, Volvo's best-selling model, the XC60, gets a more urban twist. The redesigned front features a new hood shape that emphasises the wide, confident look. The XC60 also benefits from an interior upgrade. The new features include new wood inlays, a new headliner, textile B-pillars and the silk metal frames around the air vents and light controls.

The refined XC60 has a commanding driving position supported by generous ground clearance and the class-leading chassis. The XC60 is designed to feel every bit as nimble and agile as a standard height road car.

Corner Traction Control now comes as standard. This torque vectoring system helps the driver avoid understeer by applying just the right amount of brake force to the inner wheels while powering the outer wheels when accelerating out of a corner.

With All Wheel Drive, the XC60 becomes an extremely capable vehicle on any road, in any kind of weather. Hill Descent Control boosts this capability by automatically controlling the car's speed when driving down steep slopes.
