Volvo is a little relaxing its XC70 and S80 designs for 2012, and both will obtain Volvo’s newest protection and infotainment features, as well as a new middle bunch. The greatest improvements come in the form of Volvo’s Sensus infotainment program. It changes the current pop-up nav present screen in the S80 and XC70 with a present screen at the top of the rush, and is now normal in those motors as well as the XC60 and S60. The basic Sensus present is five in. and features stereo and automobile information and facts, but a $2700 update program grows the present screen to seven in., and contributes a better looking music program, routing, copy and surroundings cameras, and DVD person (only while left, please).
In addition, Volvo recontoured its unique “floating” middle bunch in both motors, chamfering in the past hard crevices and ordering the switch structure into a directory line similar to that in the S60. The S80 gets a new inside coloring, Sangiovese Red (seen in the top pic), while the XC70 can now be had with Red inside appearance, and both obtain new decrease inlays and inside lights. A new, sportier-looking three-spoke rim units out the inside changes. The outside of the XC70 and S80 game remodeled front lights, LED turn transmission signs or symptoms designed
into the side-view showcases, and new rim styles.
On the protection front side, the S80 and XC70 can now quit themselves! Volvo has installed its Metropolis Safety function as normal kit to both motors. The program screens what is before side of the automobile, immediately implementing the wheels if the drivers neglects to answer an approaching effect. The program is most effective at low rates of speed at providing a car to a total quit, but can also decrease the degree of a effect at rates of speed up to 19 mph by reducing the car before effect. Other recently available protection technology include: People Recognition, which features like Metropolis Safety, but is able to tell apart pedestrian results from boundaries and will prevent the car at rates of speed below 20 mph; and flexible vacation control that, you thought it, can bring the car to a total quit.
