Volvo Announces Newest Polestar Performance Packages

Expanding on its recent announcement of performance packages for certain models with T5 engines, Volvo Cars of North America (VCNA) today announced factory-authorized performance tuning software for several additional Volvo models will be available next week at Volvo retailers across the country.

The next wave of Polestar performance software packages will be available for 2011-2012 XC60, S60 and XC70 fitted with a T6 engine. The T6 performance software package carries an MSRP of $1,495 installed and goes on sale nationwide Dec. 5.

The T6 Polestar software package adds 25 horsepower and 30 lb.-ft. of torque, bringing the three carlines to 325 horsepower and 355 lb.-ft. of torque. Equally impressive is that the added power does not affect fuel consumption, as the efficient tuning of the engine only increases the power output when it is needed.

"Just a few weeks after announcing the performance package for select T5 models, we have already received tremendous feedback from our customers," said Chris Dauerer, VCNA's vice president of customer service. "With Polestar, we are able to deliver our performance-minded customers the enhanced driving package they have been looking for now across a variety of our carlines."

Currently, the Polestar performance software package is also available for the following carlines:

* XC60 T6 R-Design (MY2011-2012)
* C30 T5 (MY2008-2012)
* C70 T5 (MY2008-2012)
* S40 T5 (MY2008-2011)

Volvo Demonstrates Green Leadership at LA Auto Show

Efficiency and electrification are the key drivers when Volvo Car Corporation takes the lead in the quest for green motoring and superior fuel economy.
"We claim environmental leadership through groundbreaking initiatives within smart electrification and downsizing our conventional powertrains to four-cylinder engines solely," said Stefan Jacoby, President and CEO of the Volvo Car Corporation at a press gathering in connection to Los Angeles Auto Show 2011.

Volvo Car Corporation is already in the lead among European carmakers when it comes to reducing carbon dioxide emissions. This is shown in the annual analysis presented by the European Federation for Transport and Environment (T&E).

Volvo Car Corporation outperformed Europe's eight largest car manufacturers in 2010 by cutting overall CO2 emissions with no less than 9 percent.

"This excellent result is the outcome of a dedicated environmental focus under our "DRIVe Towards Zero" banner. One third of our research budgets is earmarked for reducing CO2 emissions. Our new, upcoming engine range will ensure that we continue to beat our toughest competitors when it comes to fuel economy," said Stefan Jacoby.

 Four-cylinder size with six-cylinder performance
The new engine range, VEA (Volvo Environmental Architecture), consists solely of four-cylinder engines, which in certain configurations will benefit from enhanced performance through electrification or other spearhead technology, such as kinetic flywheel drive.
"It is time for the automotive industry to stop counting cylinders. Focusing on four-cylinder engines is a perfect way to improve fuel economy without compromising driving pleasure or performance," Stefan Jacoby commented and added:
"We will offer customers four-cylinder engines with higher performance than present six-cylinder units. And they will have better fuel economy than the current generation of four-cylinder engines."

Smart electrification initiatives
VEA includes a range of direct-injected gasoline engines and common rail diesels that improve fuel economy with up to 35 percent. Certain engines will gain added performance via hybrid drive or other spearhead technology.

Volvo Car Corporation's leadership within smart electrification also includes the Volvo V60 Plug-in Hybrid, which reaches its first European customers in autumn 2012. It is the world's first diesel-powered plug-in hybrid, giving owners an electric range of 30 miles (50 km) and over 120 miles per U.S. gallon (1.9 l/100 km)  in hybrid mode.

Deliveries of a limited fleet of the C30 Electric have started during 2011. The car has an all-electric range of up to 95 miles (150 km).
 "All of our energy-efficient technologies have the same uncompromising approach. Our customers must be able to be environmentally conscious and still enjoy the pure pleasure of owning a luxury car with full driving pleasure and world-class Volvo safety," Stefan Jacoby concluded.

The Volvo C70 Inscription Edition Will be Unveiled at The 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show

The Volvo C70 convertible reappears in the sunlight in a new Inscription version with a number of unique and desirable features.

The Inscription blends distinctive exterior details such as the painted grille and black 18-inch wheels with exclusive interior features, including Sovereign Hide upholstery and a leather-covered dashboard.

"The C70 is a true icon in our model range. The Inscription is based on our human-centric Designed Around You philosophy, offering those who love convertibles and coupes a beautifully detailed version with a lot of kerb appeal," says Doug Speck, Senior Vice President Marketing, Sales and Customer Service at the Volvo Car Corporation.

The Inscription can be combined with all the engine options available for the Volvo C70: the turbocharged five-cylinder petrol-powered T5 (230 hp/320 Nm) and the two five-cylinder turbodiesels - the D4 (177 hp/400 Nm) and D3 (150 hp/350 Nm).

The Inscription comes in three colours: Black Stone (Solid), Black Sapphire (Metallic) and Ice White (Solid).

The stunning 18-inch wheels enhance the exclusive look of the sleek convertible. This expressive version of the "Midir" rim comes in black with polished spokes and outer perimeter.

Up front, the high-gloss paint on the grille and the LED Daytime Running Lights, both surrounded by contrasting chrome, give the C70 Inscription a distinctive "face".

Exclusive interior echoes the exterior
The interior also features a distinctive new look that echoes the unique exterior, including:
- An exclusive leather-covered dashboard with contrasting stitching
- Sovereign Hide upholstery in Off Black or Calcite with the same contrasting stitching as on dashboard, handbrake lever and carpets
- "Inscription" embroidered on the front headrests
- Special Inscription carpets and handbrake lever
- Steering wheel and gear shift knob with aluminium inlays
- Sports pedals with aluminium inlay
- Aluminium inlay in the iconic ultra-slim centre stack is standard, Black or Nordic Light Oak as an option

The Volvo C70 Inscription will be shown for the first time at the 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show that will start November 16th. Sales will also start November 2011.

The C70 Inscription is available worldwide with local adaptations.

Volvo Unveils the New Zero-Emission C30

Volvo's City Safety System Is Proven to Prevent Collisions

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE

The Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI) and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) published a report that shows Volvo XC60s get into fewer low-speed crashes than comparable vehicles, thanks to Volvo’s City Safety technology, a standard feature on all XC60s.

“This is our first real-world look at an advanced crash avoidance technology, and the findings are encouraging,” said Adrian Lund, president of HLDI and IIHS. “City Safety is helping XC60 drivers avoid the kinds of front-to-rear low speed crashes that frequently happen on congested roads.”

HLDI examined claim frequency under property damage liability, bodily injury liability, and collisions. Their data concluded frequency rates for the XC60 were lower than all other midsize luxury SUVs, specifically:

Claims under property damage liability coverage were filed 27 percent less often for the XC60 than other midsize luxury SUVs.

Claim frequencies for injuries for the XC60 were filed about half as often compared to other midsize luxury SUVs.

Collision claim frequencies for the XC60 were 22 percent lower than all other midsize luxury SUVs.

IIHS last year estimated that current crash avoidance features have the potential to prevent or mitigate as many as 1.9 million crashes each year, and current users have said the systems help them to be safer drivers.

“It is great to see validation from HLDI and IIHS of the safety systems that we at Volvo are continually developing,” said Thomas Broberg, Volvo Car Corp.’s senior safety expert.  ”This is another step towards achieving our Vision 2020 of eliminating serious injuries and fatalities by the year 2020, and an even larger step towards a crash-free future.”

Volvo Was Named Most Improved Brand for C02 Emissions

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE

Volvo Car’s “DRIVe Towards Zero” mission was reaffirmed when it was named most improved brand in the top twenty in JATO’s latest report, “A Review of CO₂ Car Emissions across Europe FY2010″ with average emissions of just 157.5g/km.

Volvo’s attributes its success to the efforts of both its drivetrain and design teams, who ensure each engine and body style is optimized for fuel efficiency, which reduces CO₂ emissions. Along with the DRIVe range, the latest versions of Volvo’s Gasoline Turbocharged Direct Injection gasoline engines together with the newly-announced higher-powered, cleaner diesels help Volvo’s achieve its mission to reduce CO₂ emissions.

The DRIVe range is now available in nine models, with seven models falling below 120g/km, of which three produce just 99g/km of CO₂. Volvo’s belief is that economy should come without compromise. With this in mind, all of Volvo’s DRIVe models have the same style, dynamics, and practicality as the rest of the range.
