Volvo Cars introduces a new range of upgrades for the XC60 lineup. The packs include the brand’s new Android-powered infotainment system with Google Apps and different services built-in. This approach makes Volvo’s best-seller even smarter than before.

This is an intuitive and advanced infotainment system that offers tons of personalization options and new connectivity possibilities, which further enhances the value of Volvo’s Digital Services package. In fact, Volvo Group is the first automobile manufacturer to team up with Google on integrating a dedicated Android infotainment system with Google Apps in a vehicle. After years of development, the fully electric XC40 Recharge became the first Volvo vehicle to incorporate the system.

Also, in terms of safety features, new XC60 comes with the brand’s Advanced Driver Assistance System, which is a modern and scalable active system of radars, cameras and ultrasonic sensors for enhanced safety. This suite also enables the development and incorporation of active safety features such as the detection of other drivers, automatic braking and collision avoidance. Also, the system allows for additional driver support from standstill up to highway speeds via the dedicated Pilot Assist function.

In order to complement the upgrades, Volvo designers have made some neat changes to the interior and exterior. Such include a new grille design, new front bumpers, new wheel options and more exterior colours.

Volvo Car USA adds a 415hp plug-in hybrid electric machines among the award-winning XC60 mid-size SUV lineup and a new V60 mid-sized wagon to the 2020 lineup within the Polestar Engineering trim.

As you might have well remembered, XC60 was named 2018 World Car of the Year and 2018 North American Utility of the Year. And there’s a fine reason for that. However, let’s check out what the new guys have to offer!

In terms of exterior, the new family members feature a sporty character and muscular stance. There are new integrated black chrome tailpipes, high-gloss black grille, wheel arch extensions and discreet Polestar Engineering emblems.

Also, as it comes to interior, the cabin is characterized by gold safety belts among a charcoal color scheme with metal mesh aluminum panels. Driver and passengers will be seating in comfortable Nappa leather/open-grid textile upholstery, while driver will be enjoying ride with a leather sport steering wheel and gear shifter.

Available in Summer 2019, the model year 2020 XC60 and V60 Polestar Engineering machines would feature enhancements and features found on the 2019 S60 T8 Polestar Engineering. Drivetrain system and software have been optimized in order to provide faster access to torque and focus additional power to the rear wheels. This combination allows the vehicles to produce these massive 415hp and 494lb-ft of torque.

Furthermore, in order to enhance the suspension performance, Volvo team has used the services of Öhlins. This is a Swedish-based suspension technology brand that pioneered dual flow valve technology in struts, which quickly adapts to road imperfections and situations. What this Öhlins does, is to increase the stiffness of the vehicle’s body, allowing more precise and responsive control.

Volvo Ocean Race Editions were shown at first at this year’s Geneva Motor Show. The range of exclusive vehicles included the V40 and V40 Cross Country, V60, XC60, V70 and XC70 Editions. The fleet Ocean Racers is intended for customers who want more dynamic look and handling. Now North America is set to see the birth of the limited edition Volvo Ocean Race XC60 at the Miami International Auto Show. The event starts today and will last until 16^th of September.

Precisely, this special edition pays homage to the courageous men and women racing across the oceans. This is highlighted with the special design elements. First thing that grabs the eye is the distinctive “Ocean Blue II” exterior color. Next are the unique to the model blonde leather interior with orange stitching.

The exclusive 18” wheels just perfectly combine with the T6 Drive-E FWD or the T6 AWD engine by which this car can be driven. Other Volvo Ocean Race XC60 features include an inscribed “Volvo Ocean Race” tread plate as well as exterior emblem on front fenders and deco inlay. Orange stitching is featured on door panels, floor mats and luggage compartment.

2014-2015 Volvo Ocean Race has already started in Alicante, Spain more than a month ago. The finish will happen in Gothenburg, Sweden, in June next year. In the race are participating 66 of world’s top sailors, who will race 38,739 nautical miles around the world. To make it clearer: this number is actually almost twice the circumference of the Earth.

Volvo Ocean Race XC60 Limited Edition has a starting price of $42,100 USD.

The Inscription line from Volvo is basically a deluxe trimming that is available on many of the company’s cars. Today we add one more model to the family – the Volvo XC60.

An XC60 Inscription can be distinguished by semi-aniline quality leather upholstery. Four premium colors for it are out there to choose from: Marble White, Toscana Tan, Off-black and Soft Beige. Alongside, the overall interior can be in either Off-black or Sandstone Beige.

There are of course other features that break the Inscription’s cover. Take the headrests for example. “Inscription” is…inscribed on them. Other than that, the center console armrest is in leather with stitching, the door panel insert is in matching colour of the upholstery, the tread plates also read “Inscription” and the lumbar support is electrically adjustable.

Should anyone feel restricted by this type of specificness, personalization is just around the corner. As options to the Volvo XC60 Inscriptions, one can add Inscription Charcoal headliner, Inscription Electric Silver exterior colour or Inscription Avior 20” wheels.

“The XC60 was our top-selling model in 2011 with almost 100,000 units delivered to customers all over the globe. The Inscription version makes our offer even stronger. The exclusive details blended with the dynamic XC capability give the XC60 a truly unique aura,” says Doug Speck, Senior Vice President Marketing, Sales and Customer Service at Volvo Car Corporation.

An Inscription XC60 will be available with whichever of the available standard XC60 engines. A debut is expected at the Leipzig Motor Show in June 2012 while sales will start as early as April… which somehow doesn’t make sense.
