Lisle, IL -- (SBWire) -- 03/17/2011 -- Volvo of Lisle, one of the leading dealers for Chicago Volvo dealers, is happy to offer their customers the 2012 Volvo S60. This top of the line vehicle now comes with the option of DRIVe technology, a feature that will greatly reduce carbon dioxide emissions while also producing a more fuel efficient vehicle. The S60 is a very popular Volvo vehicle and its distinct features make it easy to see why. Let’s look at what makes this vehicle so special.
The new feature on this vehicle is the DRIVe technology. Volvo has put an emphasis on vehicles that not only produce more fuel efficiency but also produce a cleaner, safer environment. The eco-conscious Volvo customer can now buy Volvo S60 in a particularly economical DRIVe version, with CO2 emissions of just 114 g/km and 119 g/km, respectively.
"We have moved ahead very quickly since we launched our first three 119 gram models in Paris in autumn 2008. The fact that we now have seven models below 120 g/km, three of them below 100 grams, emphasizes that few of our competitors can match us in the drive for increasingly eco-efficient cars," says Volvo Cars President and CEO Stefan Jacoby
The safety features on the 2012 S60, available for Chicago Infiniti shoppers, presents high quality safety and protection. Volvo spared none of its state-of-the-art safety in the 2012 S60. City Safety (which is standard in both trims) will alert the driver if he or she needs to stop short while going less than 18 miles per hour.

If the driver does not react, City Safety, available for Chicago Infiniti shoppers, will automatically apply the brakes to prevent a collision or at least minimize the damage to both vehicles. Dynamic Stability and Traction control detects oncoming skids and adjusts power to the brakes accordingly.
As part of the technology package, customers can get high-tech systems like Driver Alert Control and Lane Departure Warning. Driver Alert Control works when the vehicle is moving over 40 miles per hour and monitors driver’s concentration. Lane Departure warning alerts the driver when the vehicle has drifted out of a lane without actively using the steering wheel or turn signals.
In addition, the Intelligent Driver Information System (IDIS) at Volvo of Lisle will delay non-essential information (such as an incoming phone call) while in a difficult driving situation. IDIS uses sudden jerks of the wheel or extreme braking to determine when the car is in an emergency situation. After driving has returned to normal, all information will be displayed. Similar to City Safety is Pedestrian Detection, which will automatically cause the vehicle to come to a full stop if it detects pedestrians in its path.
This impressive vehicle packs a punch with efficiency and safety, two of the most important factors when purchasing a vehicle. Stop by Volvo of Lisle to get more information on this great vehicle. For more information, please call 630-848-9674 or visit http://www.volvooflisle.com.
