The All New Volvos have arrived - The Sixties range is here

The All New Volvos have arrived - The Sixties range is here

The latest Volvo 60 range was recently revealed to the media. With fifteen vehicles at our disposal, Cape Town was our oyster and we put them through their paces.

There is very little that anyone can criticise these vehicle for. They are uber comfortable, uber stylish and so fabulously easy to drive. The new Volvo V60's sporty drive is emphasised by new, comfortable sports seats and Volvo's new Sensus Connected Touch system with unique on-line possibilities. Fuel consumption is down to 4.5 litres per 100km and CO2 emissions of just 119g per km in the Volvo V60 D4.

Vovlo presented a new vision and they made it official. They state that by 2020 nobody should die or be seriously injured while driving their vehicles. They say that because their vehicles are designed around you, they should be everything you ever wanted. I have to admit that Volvo's sixties range ticks all the boxes I need them to.

"At Volvo, we design our cars according to what today's drivers really care about and want, impeccable quality and design, performance, safety and connectivity. By doing so Volvo sets itself apart by offering vehicles that are uniquely designed around people. Volvo really is made for you." Declared Volvo's PRO.

Scandinavian designers were given the chance to explain the new V60's body styling, and they spoke using terminology usually reserved for the female form. It is true, the new V60 design is exemplified by beautiful, simple shapes and surfaces devoid of unnecessary clutter. This is evident on the interior and exterior.

Inside, the attention to detail and use of authentic materials - such as wood and leather, along with the easy-to-use controls ensure an 'in-command' driving experience. Changes include new upholstery colours and new wood inlays, a new headliner, and silk metal frames around the air vents and light controls.

The focal point of Volvo V60's versatility is its intelligent seating. The rear seats can be folded down in three 40/20/40 segments, so that the rear 430 litres of load space can be augmented quickly and easily. This is great for young children. With one simple movement, the booster cushions pop-up from the seat base giving a comfortable and safe ride height for children from three years and upwards.

A lot of emphases was placed on the new advanced software, including more rapid vision processing. It is now possible to extend Volvo Cars' present detection and auto brake technology to cover certain cyclist situations.

The all new 60's range is equipped with features that perfectly compliment our lifestyle, and Volvo is still one of the most trusted brands on the road, why not test drive one today and find real driving pleasure.
