2011 Volvo XC60 Morristown: T6 Advantage

The Volvo XC60 T6 is the most powerful powertrain variation offered with this model. Its 6-cylinder turbocharged engine gets 300 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque (compared to 240 hp and 236 lb-ft on the other versions.) All T6’s come equipped with all-wheel drive.

Volvo XC60 Morristown: Safety

The Volvo XC60 standard equipment includes City Safety, a revolutionary new system designed to prevent or minimize low impact collisions. When going at 18 miles per hour or slower, collision detectors will scan the area in front of the car for vehicles that have suddenly stopped. If it sees a collision is likely, it will automatically apply the brakes without driver intervention.

Adaptive Cruise Control will sense when the car in front is slowing down, and adjusts itself accordingly, eventually coming to a full stop if necessary. As part of the optional Technology Package, the XC60 can also be equipped with a pedestrian detection system that uses cameras and radar to initiate auto-brakes if a person is in front of the vehicle. These features gave the Volvo XC60 its nickname: “The car that stops itself.”

There are other high-tech safety features on the XC60, such as the Blind Spot Notification system: a warning light that tells the driver when a vehicle is in his or her blind spot.

The Land Departure system will audibly alert the driver when he or she drifts out of a lane without signaling or actively using the steering wheel. This feature has 2 levels of sensitivity and can be deactivated completely from the control panel.

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.
