XC90 Features Sure To Please Denver Drivers

Volvo has always put state-of-the-art safety above all us in its vehicles, and the 2011 XC90 is no exception. All safety features with the exception of the dual xenon headlights are standard an all trims. The XC90 has the safety mainstays such as 4-wheel anti-lock brakes with electronic brake assist, daytime running lights, and electronic stability control. The more advanced safety features include a boron steel-reinforced passenger compartment that encloses the energy-absorbing interior. The chassis, with spring struts at the front and Multilink axle at the rear, are tuned for a stable, controlled drive and alert steering response. The Multilink rear axle is an independent rear suspension system featuring a number of links and it is designed to offer a good combination of controlled wheel movements and high ride comfort. A long wheelbase and wide track, together with a very torsionally rigid body, contribute to the predictable, controlled driving manners.

Airbags are dual-front, front sides, and side-curtain. Volvo’s unique and highly effective Whiplash Protection System (or WHIPS) protects the spine and neck during a rear collision. WHIPS has been proven to reduce long-term complications due to whiplash by 50 percent.

Another feature that helps make this vehicle a true Volvo SUV is the gyroscopic Roll Stability Control system. When the system detects an imminent rollover, this world-first activates the traction control system to help stabilize the vehicle. RSC (Roll Stability Control) helps Denver XC90 drivers keep control over their car. But if it does roll over, an electronic sensor triggers the IC inflatable curtain and seatbelt pre-tensioners. Volvo took the extra step of adding a reinforced roof and front pillars to help provide additional protection.
