Can avoid collision with a pedestrian at up to 35 km/h
In an emergency situation, the driver first receives an audible warning combined with a flashing light in the windscreen's head-up display. At the same time, the car's brakes are pre-charged. If the driver does not react to the warning and impact is imminent, full braking power is automatically applied.
Pedestrian Detection with Full Auto Brake can avoid a collision with a pedestrian at speeds of up to 35 km/h if the driver does not react in time. At higher speeds, the focus is on slowing down the car as much as possible prior to impact.
A lower speed at impact significantly reduces the risk of serious injury. For instance, if speed is reduced from 50 km/h to 25 km/h, Pedestrian Detection with full auto brake is expected to reduce the fatality risk by as much as 20 percent and in some cases by up to 85 percent.
More powerful T6 version
During its first year of production, the all-new Volvo S60 will be equipped with a high-performance, turbocharged six cylinder engine producing 304 horsepower.
The T6 has a displacement of 3.0 litres and produces 325 lb.-ft. (440 Nm) of torque. Acceleration from 0-100 km/h takes 6.5 seconds and top speed is 250 km/h. At the same time, Volvo Cars' engine specialists have succeeded in cutting fuel consumption by about 10 percent to 10.2 l/100 km (Estimated EU Combined).
The engine's power is delivered through Volvo's second-generation six-speed automatic Geartronic transmission; upgraded with new valves and lower friction for faster gear changes. All-wheel drive is standard.
New infotainment system - and world-class sound
The all-new S60 receives an all-new infotainment system where information from the audio unit, navigation system, mobile phone and other functions are presented on a five-inch or seven-inch colour screen in the upper part of the centre console. The screen is installed high to make it easy for the driver to keep their eyes on the road.
"We are one of the few manufacturers to give the driver access to all infotainment functions via controls in the steering wheel," says Ahlborg.
One of the first car models with MultEQ
"Our most advanced system, Premium Sound, has a class-D digital 5x130W amplifier with circuits from Sweden's Anaview, Dolby Digital in combination with Dolby Pro Logic II Surround, the award-winning MultEQ from Audyssey Laboratories and 12 loudspeakers. All this creates an audio experience of absolute world class," says Ahlborg.
The Volvo S60 is one of the first car models in the world to use Audyssey Laboratories MultEQ technology, the standard for room equalization in home and professional theatre markets. MultEQ removes distortion caused by the car cabin's acoustics, enabling crisp, clear sound with improved soundstage for everyone in the car.
