If you missed the exciting Volvo XC60 launch that was held at our Umhlanga dealership on Friday 28 January 2022, you can catch all the exciting details below.

Parked at a 45-degree angle, rays of sunshine fell upon the bonnet through the sparkling clean glass windows, giving the stunning platinum grey paintwork that extra bit of finesse. Everyone who walked into the dealership was here for it! This beauty had all eyes on her and proved to be as smart as she is sleek. She comes with all the bells and whistles, from voice recognition to the tow bar feature. Volvo ensures that we make use of next-level technology, enhancing every aspect of the vehicle.

You can take a meeting on the go or escape for the weekend with the XC60. The smarter XC60 with Google built-in has got you covered. Everyone from businessmen and women to soccer moms and stay-at-home dads came out for the launch. It did get me a Morden day millennial thinking how anyone survived prior to the discovery of Google. Considering that Google is now built into Volvo’s infotainment system we all can agree we have come a long way.

It is always fun to drive around the block in something new and our smarter Volvo XC60 is exactly that. Customers had such fun taking this beauty out for test drives, heck who are we kidding, simply sitting in this brand-new luxury SUV basking in the ambience was enough to sell me on it.

As if that were not enough, the premium dealership had catered for the likes of all. You had to be there for it, the festive fika station had filled the air with the sweet smell of cinnamon adding that extra flare at the treats station which also had a variety of gifts for all in attendance. Eco Volvo bag, oh and dare I forget to mention the cookie jars.

The launch was a resounding success with smiles all around. The smart XC60 is still on our showroom floor, so feel free to come in and view it. Coffee is on us.

E.V.A

When a woman steps into a car to drive to her desired destination, she assumes she will be safe. To date, most automakers still produce vehicles based exclusively on data collected from male crash test dummies. For this reason, women run a higher risk of getting injured in traffic than men.

Volvo sees that women and men appear equally in this data, unlike most automakers. Due to this, we believe they should be equally represented in testing, hence the E.V.A equal vehicles for all initiatives.

Volvo Accident Research Team was formed in 1970. 40 years of research are finally being shared. During these years, the Accident Research Team has gathered real-world data to help better understand what happens during collisions.

Women are more likely to suffer a chest injury in a crash than men because of differences in chest anatomy and strength. The shorter a person is, the closer they sit to the steering wheel, which makes the inflatable curtain over the entire window an essential safety feature. In addition to the side impact system, the airbag curtain reduces the risk of head injuries considerably. In traffic, Volvo’s safety belt has proven to be one of the most effective lifesavers, offering great protection to all body types and crashes.

Additionally, we developed the world’s first average-size pregnant crash test dummy as an additional measure to increase awareness of safety and learn more about pregnant women and their unborn children. The model allows for the study of how the occupant moves and how the safety belt and airbag affect the woman and her unborn child. As a brand, Volvo is always striving to improve its safety measures.

Drive the vehicle that prioritizes your safety. Drive Volvo

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.

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.

Let’s take a quick look at our safety innovations over the years and how we got to where we are today,

1959 – The three-point safety belt
1972 – Rearward – facing child seat
1978 – The booster cushion
1990 – World’s first integrated booster cushion
1991 – Slide impact Protection system (SIPS)
1998 – Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS)
1998 – Inflatable curtain
2002 – Roll – Over Protection System (ROPS)
2003 – Blind Spot Information System (BLIS)
2008 – City Safety

2010 – Pedestrian detection with full auto brake

2014 – Run – off the road protection
2016 – Connected Safety
2018 – Oncoming mitigation by braking
2019 – The E.V.A (Equal vehicles for All) Initiative
2020 – Speed Cap

All these innovations made it possible to refer to a Volvo as one of the safest cars on the road. So, choose safety, choose peace of mind and family security. Drive the brand that cares for you!
