The 2014 Volvo XC90 Packs Advanced Safety Technology
Here at Lovering Volvo of
Meredith, we can't tell you how excited we are about the 2014 Volvo XC90.
This SUV will pack some of the most advanced safety technology available
anywhere. Those of you who want a premium SUV with first-rate craftsmanship,
performance, and luxury, but that always puts safety first - this is the SUV for
you. Here are a few of the highlights of this incredible machine.
Â
Safety and Security
Volvo is known for safety and innovation. This is the company that created the three point seatbelt and released it into the public domain, rather than licensing it to other companies. The XC90 continues the tradition of safety before all else. The XC90 will be the latest development in the Volvo Vision 2020 initiative: by the year 2020, Volvo plans to stop all serious injuries or deaths in new Volvos. And when you see the technology in the XC90, you might just start to believe that that high standard is within reach:
Â
·      The new XC90 gets an after-dark pedestrian spotting system that can alert you to the presence of people on foot?even if there aren't any street lights around. This system can automatically engage the brake to prevent a collision.
Â
·      An animal detection system, particularly handy for those of you who drive in rural areas, will be available shortly after launch.
Â
·      While you might have heard of active lane keeping assist systems before, Volvo ups the ante by providing a system that doesn't depend on lane markings. The XC90 is able to stay on the road and the detect the road's edge even without painted lines.
Â
·      Another area where Volvo innovates is with its radar-guided cruise control system that will help the SUV follow the car ahead and adapt to changing speeds.
Â
·      The Volvo XC90 will even prevent you from dosing off or getting distracted - stop paying attention and it will let you know with a persistent alarm.
Â
Beyond safety and security features, the Volvo XC90 comes with all the luxury touches, convenience features, and powerful engine options that you expect in a Volvo.
