Exclusive interior
In developing the interior of the all-new S60, Volvo Cars designers added excitement, contrast and playfulness to the rational simplicity of Scandinavian design tradition.
"The interior has a more extrovert attitude than before, but without losing any of its practical Scandinavian roots. The all-new S60 brings us up to a whole new level when it comes to the integral experience of colour, form, material and technology," says Horbury.
The interior of the all-new S60 is lavish in terms of its driver-oriented details, but it is still a five-seat car offering comfortable space for all its occupants. The sculpted outer rear seats give the passenger in the middle welcome side support. Knee space in the rear seat has increased by 30 mm compared with the previous-generation S60. The rear seat splits 40/60 and the boot opening has been made 107 mm wider than in the previous-generation S60.
Most high-tech Volvo ever - with Pedestrian Detection
The sporty interior of the all-new S60 is also the most advanced, high-tech environment ever offered to a Volvo vehicle driver.
"The interior of the all-new S60 is all about innovative design in two areas: form and technology," says Tomas Ahlborg, Project Director for the all-new S60. "The design is characterised by sporty freshness down to the smallest detail. The technological aspect includes all those smart solutions that contribute to a driving experience unlike that of any other Volvo - from collision avoidance safety and comfort systems to infotainment and audio excellence of absolute world class."
Pedestrian Detection with full auto brake is a groundbreaking technological solution. It can detect pedestrians who walk onto the road in front of the car, provide a warning to the driver, and -- should the driver not respond in time -- automatically apply full braking power.
"We are truly proud of our success in making our technology so reliable that we can offer a complete system that can avoid a collision with a pedestrian by detecting, alerting and applying full braking," says Thomas Broberg, Senior Safety Advisor at Volvo Cars. "It's a world first, to the best of our knowledge. With this technology we have increased the braking force in our automatic braking system from fifty percent to full stopping power."
