By

Volvo Cars has announced that its next generation flagship vehicle will utilise Luminar Technologies LiDAR Technology making Volvo the first major vehicle manufacturer to integrate this technology in their vehicles as a standard piece of equipment.

LiDAR Technology Concept

You may be asking what LiDAR is? Luminar technologies, a tech start-up company, have developed a system of advances sensors that allows the vehicle to see the environment better. This is another step forward in safety technology where Volvo will be leading the pack.

To get into more detail, LiDAR stands for light detection and ranging systems. This incredible technology will allow the vehicle to create higher quality images of its surroundings assisting it in avoiding obstacles. The first Volvo to sport this technology will be the successor to Volvo’s current flagship the XC90 which is set to be revealed in 2022.

Volvo Cars CEO Hakan Samuelsson had the following to say in a press release: “Volvo Cars is and always has been a leader in safety. It will now define the next level of car safety. By having this hardware as standard, we can continuously improve safety features over the air and introduce advanced autonomous drive systems, reinforcing our leadership in safety.”

Concept

Explore the Volvo XC40 at CMH Volvo Cars Cape Town

By

Discover a confident and compact SUV, rich in innovation and designed for city life; with an expressive design, smart storage and intelligent technology, all to give you better driving pleasure. Explore any city without disappearing into the crowd in a Volvo XC40.

Volvo XC40

Driver support and safety is in our DNA:

Blind Spot Information System: IntelliSafe Surround can support you in busy traffic and when reversing where there’s restricted visibility. When a vehicle enters your blind spot or approaches rapidly in a lane on either side of your car, BLIS will alert you via a light in the left or right door mirror. If you don’t react to the warning and start to drift into the path of another vehicle, the Steer Assist function can gently assist you back into your lane.
The rear-mounted radar sensors continuously monitor your blind spots and a large area behind your car, day or night, and reacts to almost any type of vehicle, including motorcycles.

Driver Support Systems

IntelliSafe Assist (ACC + Pilot Assist): Included in the Volvo XC40’s supportive drive technologies, Adaptive Cruise Control and Pilot Assist, IntelliSafe Assist allows you to enjoy smooth driving from standstill up to motorway speeds.
Adaptive Cruise Control automatically helps you keep a set speed and distance to the vehicle in front of you, while Pilot Assist adds gentle steering support to help keep the car centred in its lane.
Please note: The driver is always responsible for how the car is controlled, as well as for maintaining the correct distance and speed, even when IntelliSafe Assist is being used. Driver support systems, such as Adaptive Cruise Control and Pilot Assist, are restricted in how much acceleration, braking and steering force they can apply.

Volvo XC40 Side View

Park Assist Pilot: The convenient Park Assist Pilot makes parking enjoyable. It measures the parking space, and if the space is at least 1.2 times the length of your car it can park by taking over the steering. Park Assist Pilot handles both parallel and perpendicular parking and can also assist when leaving a tight parallel parking space.

360º Camera: It is easy to park on busy city streets with the Volvo XC40, experience the differences with a 360-parking camera. An option that gives you a detailed bird’s eye view of the car, so you can see where you are in relation to other vehicles and objects.

If ever we as South African consumers wanted to feel safe on the roads the time is now.
From the onset, Volvo Cars have been a brand for people. Caring about the world we live in and the people around us. Since 1927, when the founders of Volvo Cars decided to focus on safety as one of the company’s core values, they stuck to it and have since become the leaders in that field.

Volvo has to date established a well-earned reputation for building one of the safest cars on the road and have just recently set the new industry benchmark in safety, by receiving the Top Safety Pick + to all 2021 Volvo models, awarded by the Insurance Institute for Highway safety.

IIHS Insurance

It is crucial to note that this is just one of our many “safety successes”. In every generation, Volvo has been a pioneer. We are behind some of the most important innovations in the history of car safety, and we are continuously improving your safety.

Exploring The Volvo P8 Recharge

By

What started as a concept is building a Swedish engineering reality! Volvo Cars are embarking on an engineering journey of pure electric and plug-in hybrid cars which are designed for a better way to move through the world. This concept is known as “VOLVO RECHARGE” and CMH Volvo Cars Pretoria would like you to hear all about it!

Volvo P8 Recharge

The introductory recharge line features two models, the Volvo XC40 Pure Electric. This model brings you receptive technology, an innovative design along with sustainable materials that take your driving journey to the next level.

Recharge Lifestyle

Volvo Cars have always been committed to safety. This Recharge line aims to create the safest chargeable vehicles that are fit for people and suitable for the road. You are guaranteed a drive without any tailpipe emissions as your daily commute will be purely electric.

Volvo Rear

What does this mean? Your Recharged Car will not be emitting carbon dioxide or nitrogen oxide into the environment. One of the beneficial aspects of this driving experience is the silent and refined drive that comes with it!

Charging

These vehicles are very easy to live with as the large battery fitted to give the driver a longer range, meaning that you will not have to charge it as often. While this is subject to driving conditions, a single charge can give the driver about 418km! Which model should CMH Volvo Cars Pretoria prepare for you?

How Hybrids work and what are their benefits? – CMH Volvo Cars Bryanston

By

Climate change is a topic that world leaders, business owners and citizens are all too familiar with. There is no longer any doubt that human activity is changing the climate on our planet and this change is happening faster than most experts originally predicted. According to a January 2021 climate report published by the National Centres for Environmental Information in America, the land and ocean surface temperature was 0.80 Degrees Celsius above the 20th-century average. It was the seventh warmest January in the 142-year global records. Everyone needs to start playing their parts in getting this crisis under control. Car manufactures are heeding the call and are turning to hybrid vehicles to bring down carbon emissions. There are 3 types of hybrid vehicles namely mild hybrids, plug-in hybrids, and fully electric vehicles.

Volvo is one of the first luxury car manufacturers to release a plug-in hybrid as a flagship vehicle. The XC90 T8 has impressive safety technology but not much is understood about how its engine works. A plug-in hybrid (PHEV) uses two engines. The T8 is powered by a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo- and supercharged petrol engine providing 235kW of power and an electric motor which produces 65 kW of power.

T8 Badge

It’s quite an impressive combination of technology and one that not only reduces carbon emissions but also makes the vehicle perform better. The XC90’s braking also recharges the battery using kinetic energy. This process is called regenerative braking.

Hybrids Regenerative Braking

Volvo shows no sign of stopping the innovation from moving forward. Earlier this year CEO of Volvo Cars Håkan Samuelsson was quoted saying: “To remain successful, we need profitable growth. So instead of investing in a shrinking business, we choose to invest in the future – electric and online. We are fully focused on becoming a leader in the fast-growing premium electric segment.”

PHEV System

Be sure to keep an eye on CMH Volvo Cars Westrand’s social media for offers on the Volvo XC90 T8 and news on the upcoming electric vehicles.
