Safety at the driving wheel
Volvo XC90’s new safety tech is integrated into every level of driving
AUTO BRAKE
The 2015 XC90 features automatic brake technology,
which is applied when radars detect a collision is
imminent. Volvo states the technology is particularly
useful at busy city intersections. The car will
automatically apply the brakes in order to avoid a
collision, without the driver having to even initiate a stop.AIR SUSPENSION
The new XC90 will offer air suspension as an
optional extra. This is electronically controlled,
meaning the driver can adjust the settings from their
seat. The air suspension has a choice of fi ve settings,
allowing all occupants of the vehicle to be
transported in ultimate comfort.QUEUE ASSIST
Crawling along in traffi c is an infuriating task for any
driver, but Volvo’s XC90 seeks to eliminate the
monotony with its new Adaptive Cruise Control with
Queue Assist. Using radars to slowly follow the vehicle
in front, braking and steering is automatically
controlled to keep directly behind the leading car.DID YOU KNOW? Nine manufacturers are testing energy-storing body panels for increased electric-car range
