The new car replaces Volvo\u2019s highly-successful original XC60, which in the nine years since its launch became the bestselling premium mid-sized SUV in Europe with nearly a million units sold globally. \u201cWe have a strong heritage in designing stylish and dynamic SUVs that offer the latest in technology. The new XC60 will be no exception. It\u2019s the perfect car for an active lifestyle, and it represents the next step in our transformation plan,\u201d said H\u00e5kan Samuelsson, President and Chief Executive, Volvo Car Group.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\u201cThe XC60 is an SUV not designed to look down on others but to drive. The exterior has an athletic sculpture with a subtle, timeless quality. The interior is a masterful composition of well-resolved architecture, beautiful materials and the very latest technology\u00a0– all perfectly\u00a0blended together. The XC60 provides a true Scandinavian experience which will make our customers feel special,\u201d said Thomas Ingenlath, Senior Vice President, Design at Volvo Car Group.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The new XC60, one of the safest cars ever made, is fully-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\u2019s Blind Spot Indication System (BLIS) now uses Steer Assist functionality to reduce the risk of lane-changing collisions.<\/p>\n

The new car is set to go into production in mid-April at the Torslanda Plant in Sweden.<\/p>\n<\/div>
