The first new Volvo XC60 rolls off the production line in Torslanda, Sweden

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

Production of #volvo Cars’ new #xc60 mid-size #suv started today at the company’s Torslanda plant in Sweden. The first customer-bound car, a T5 AWD Inscription in Crystal White, rolled off the production line just before lunch time. The new car replaces Volvo’s highly successful original #xc60, which in the nine years since its launch became the best-selling premium mid-sized #suv in Europe, with nearly a million units sold globally. The #xc60 today represents around 30 per cent of Volvo’s total global sales.

“This is a proud day for everyone at the plant,” said Magnus Nilsson, vice president of the Torslanda plant. “We have worked hard in recent weeks and months to prepare Torslanda for this latest new #volvo model, and now we are ready to start delivering new XC60s to customers.”

The #xc60 is the fourth model based on Volvo’s in-house-developed SPA vehicle architecture, following the introduction of the top-of-the-line 90 series in recent years. The SPA-related investments in Sweden have had positive effects on employment at the company, with thousands of new jobs added in production, research and development, and other areas.

 

New comfort and safety technology

The new #xc60, one of the safest cars ever made, is loaded with new technology. Steer Assist has been added to the ground-breaking City Safety system. A new safety system called Oncoming Lane Mitigation uses Steer Assist to help mitigate head-on collisions, while Volvo’s Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) now uses Steer Assist functionality to reduce the risk of lane-changing collisions.

Pilot Assist, Volvo’s advanced semi-autonomous driver-assistance system, which takes care of the steering, acceleration and braking on well-marked roads up to 130 km/h, is available in the new #xc60 as an option.

The new #xc60 offers Volvo’s award-winning T8 Twin Engine petrol plug-in hybrid at the top of the powertrain range, delivering 407 hp and acceleration from 0-100 km/h in just 5.3 seconds.

But it is not just under the bonnet that the new #xc60 delivers healthy performance. The new CleanZone four-zone climate control system removes harmful pollutants and particles from outside the cabin to deliver Scandinavian-fresh air on the inside.

 Volvo Cars’ driver infotainment and connected services offer, Sensus, and the #volvo On Call app both receive a graphical update with improved usability. As in the 90 series cars, smartphone integration with Android #auto and Apple CarPlay is also available.

 With the new #xc60 now on the market and gradually becoming available to order in markets across the globe, #volvo is set for another record year of sales in 2017.
