Important note: The diesel left-hand-drive European model was tested by Euro NCAP. Australasian specifications may vary and therefore models sold in Australasia might provide different levels of protection to those described on this page. Model History and Safety Features The tested model of Volvo XC60 was introduced in Australia in March 2009. Dual front airbags, side airbags and head-protecting side curtains are standard equipment. Antilock brakes (ABS), electronic brake distribution (EBD), emergency brake assist and electronic stability control (ESC) are also standard. Intelligent seat belt reminders are fitted all seats. City Safety – an advanced collision avoidance system – is standard. Several other advanced safety features are available. The front seat belt buckles are mounted on the seats and the upper anchorages are adjustable. These features improve the fit of the seat belt. Pretensioners are fitted to all seat belts to reduce slack in the event of a crash. A three point seat belt is fitted to the centre rear seat. This provides better protection than a two point (lap) seat belt. Read more...
The Volvo XC60 Concept takes centre stage at the Detroit Motor Show, integrating both the unmistakable, muscular XC-versatility and the sporty charisma of a coupe. “One might say that this could be the C30 owner’s next car. Equally sporty and exciting, but far more capable. The concept car offers a good indication of what the “real” XC60 will look like,” says Fredrik Arp, President and CEO of Volvo Cars. The new Volvo XC60 is planned to reach the showrooms at the beginning of 2009. The concept car shows that Volvo Cars’ XC60 project is ready to challenge the ompetition in what is currently the toughest and fastest-growing segment in the automotive world – the Small Premium Utility segment.

It’s interesting that Volkswagen, the creator of the original minivan, has teamed up with Chrysler, the creator of the modern minivan, to build the new Routan. But why has VW joined the minivan parade at this late date? Haven’t these seven-pas- senger rigs seen their best days? Perhaps, but while minivan sales have declined of late and their are fewer players in the game (both Ford and General Motors have folded their cards), there are still plenty of dedicated category customers out there who would never consider driving anything else.

The Volvo XC60 bears a striking resemblance to its elder and slightly larger stablemates, the XC70 and the XC90. The XC60 continues the Volvo design trend away from sharp angles and square corners and toward softer and more rounded lines. Nothing sporty, of course, but less severe, more relaxed. The front end wears a softened version of the trademark trapezoidal grille, with egg crate mesh behind an Interior Features
