FearLess Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) All new Volvo V60 with sleeker styling, a larger interior, improved performance Standard 9-inch display screen, Volvo’s City Safe Technology, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto Available in two trim levels: Momentum and Inscription Starting price should be around $40,000 Volvo pretty much owns the luxury station wagon market in the U.S. Station wagons may not be the most vibrant vehicle segment these days, but Volvo knows it has a core fanbase that loves wagons in general and Volvo wagons in particular. It’s this fanbase Volvo is targeting with the all-new 2019 Volvo V60. Improvements in styling, interior space, performance, fuel efficiency, and safety tech suggest Volvo’s grip on the luxury station wagon space will only tighten with the new V60. Sleeker styling wrapped around a larger interior Offered in two trim levels, Momentum and Inscription, the 2019 V60 features an all-new chassis and body wrapped around a roomier interior. Volvo focused on design and versatility, improving both through a combination of structural and styling upgrades. The new wagon’s length increases by 4.9 inches, with a wheelbase that’s 3.8 inches longer. This reduces front and rear overhang and combines with a 2.2-inch drop in roof height -- plus a standard rear spoiler -- to give the wagon a streamlined profile. The new V60’s look is further enhanced by sleek, T-shaped LED headlights and prominent, elevated LED taillights, both standard on all models. Advanced technology “Volvo” and “Safety”, however, are terms buyers readily connect, and the V60 maintains this tradition with a host of advanced standard and optional technology features. Volvo’s “City Safety” system includes automatic emergency braking to avoid pedestrians, cyclists and large animals. It also now includes brake mitigation to avoid head-on collisions. Optional safety equipment includes cross-traffic alert, blind-spot monitoring and Pilot Assist, a “hands-on-the-wheel” system to remove stress from stop-and-go traffic. Pilot assist will modulate the throttle and brake to match surrounding traffic speeds. It also provides steering input to keep the V60 in its lane. Pilot assist can be used up to 80 mph, and it includes new technology to match the car’s speed to curves, based on map data. It can actually lower the V60’s speed to make curves more comfortable when using cruise control. Edited April 11, 2019 by -Dark* Closed
