Parking Made Easy: Some of the safety behind the All-New Volvo XC90

Image
Designed around modern car buyers’ expectations of smart functionality, the all-new Volvo XC90 features a set of innovative solutions that make tricky parking situations and manoeuvring in tight spaces easy. The IntelliSafe support technologies include an extended Park Assist Pilot, which now also offers automatic reversing into a parking bay as well as entering and exiting a parallel parking spot. The XC90 can also display a digitally created bird’s-eye view of the 360° area around the car on the large centre screen. “Several studies by research institutes reveal that up to two-thirds of interviewed motorists feel uncomfortable in tight parking situations. Options such as the extended Park Assist Pilot and bird’s-eye view function turn these potentially stressful situations into comfortable, precise and safe manoeuvring,” says Dr Peter Mertens, Senior Vice President Research and Development of Volvo Car Group. The further-developed Park Assist Pilot facilitates

Volvo has just announced the all-new XC90 will be the cleanest and most powerful SUV. Environmental care has always been a core value for Volvo and it really shows in the XC90… Volvo Cars' all-new XC90 will offer an unrivalled combination of power and clean operation when it is launched early next year. The all-wheel drive seven seater offers drivers up to 400 horsepower but with carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions of around 60 g/km (NEDC driving cycle). There has never been an SUV offering this level of power this cleanly. “There are no compromises when you drive an all-new XC90,” said Peter Mertens, Senior Vice President Research and Development of Volvo Car Group. “In the past you could either have power or low CO2 emissions. But with the all-new XC90 you can have both.” The new XC90 offers a range of Drive-E engine options, all of which provide an outstanding combination of performance and fuel-efficiency. “With our new Drive-E powertrains, we have created a family of intel

History Repeating Itself...in a VERY Good Way.

The phrase "those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it" is one to remember. However, repeating history is not always a bad thing. 10 years ago Volvo unleashed the raw and powerful Volvo S60 R and V70 R. 300 horsepower, all-wheel-drive and unique styling made the R series highly desirable. Flash forward 10 years and Volvo has repeated history with the all-new Volvo S60 Polestar and V60 Polestar. The concept is the same: a lot of power, phenomenal all-season handling, stunning styling. However, these cars go above and beyond what was capable a decade ago. The Polestar models are quicker in every way, have a higher quality interior, a lot more safety features, and are much more refined. Yes...history repeating itself can be good...but only if you improve upon it ;). Lehman Volvo York is your authorized Volvo Polestar dealership. Visit online at WWW.LEHMANVOLVOYORK.COM
