Volvo’s Legacy in Estate Cars
Few carmakers can match Volvo Cars’ history and credibility in making well-designed, practical, and versatile estate cars. The new V60 shares Volvo Cars’ Scalable Product Architecture (SPA) platform with the award-winning new XC60 and the top-of-the-line 90 Series cars. These models have been the driving force behind the company’s record-breaking global sales performance in recent years.

This service offers car access through a monthly flat-fee subscription rather than traditional ownership. Care by Volvo makes having a car as transparent, easy, and hassle-free as having a mobile phone.

<h3>City Safety with Autobrake Technology</h3>
<p>The City Safety with Autobrake technology uses automatic braking and detection systems to assist the driver in avoiding potential collisions. It is the only system on the market that recognizes pedestrians, cyclists, and large animals. In a world-first, City Safety now also engages autobraking to mitigate oncoming collisions.</p>
<h3>Pilot Assist System</h3>
<p>The Pilot Assist system—which supports the driver with steering, acceleration, and braking on well-marked roads up to 130km/h—has been upgraded with improved cornering <a href=)
performance. The V60 also includes Run-off-Road Mitigation, Oncoming Lane Mitigation, and other steering assistance systems. The optional Cross Traffic Alert with auto brake further improves safety for people inside and outside the car.
