Naperville Volvo dealer, Volvo of Lisle, has some valuable information for Chicago Volvo shoppers questioning whether or not to buy the Volvo XC90. Read on and decide – is this the right car, then test drive the XC90 at Chicago Volvo dealership, Volvo of Lisle, today.

The Volvo XC90 boasts a modern and elegant appearance. It is a spacious and flexible crossover model that combines the passenger car’s handling and comfort with excellent get-you-there ability and flexibility. The XC90 is designed to give an elegant, muscular and robust impression. All versions of the XC90 have color-coded side trim mouldings and door handles. As an alternative to black roof rails, brushed aluminium can be specified as an option.

The exterior colors available are Flamenco Red metallic, Black Stone solid, Ice White solid, Silver metallic, Black Sapphire metallic, Magic Blue metallic, Oyster Grey metallic, Electric Silver metallic, Ember Black metallic, Savile Grey metallic, Caper Green metallic and Passion Red solid.

The interior of the XC90 has a standard seats. The passenger compartment is ver spacious and features an uncluttered and modern design. The seating position gives the driver a commanding view over  traffic and the passengers a comfortable seating position. All the passenger seats can be folded to create a fully flat loading floor. The tailgate is divided into an upper and a lower section. This makes the Volvo XC90 a very flexible and versatile car in every day usage.

The XC90 is built as a passenger car, with a unitary body and the same type of chassis as that found in Volvo’s sedan models. The chassis, with spring struts at the front and Multilink axle at the rear, are tuned for a stable, controlled drive and alert steering response. The Multilink rear axle is an independent rear suspension system featuring a number of links and it is designed to offer a good combination of controlled wheel movements and high ride comfort. A long wheelbase and wide track, together with a very torsionally rigid body, contribute to the predictable, controlled driving manners.

All-Wheel Drive is an electronically controlled system that distributes engine power between the front and rear wheels quickly and automatically, depending on which wheel pair (front or rear wheels) has the best grip at the moment. The system helps enhance stability and reduces understeer and oversteer, contributing to increased driver control and a comfortable ride. The system is equipped with PreTension® which improves take-off speed and delivers higher traction on slippery surfaces.

Volvo’s Dynamic Stability and Traction Control system continuously registers the car’s roll rate, making it possible to detect slowly building skids at an early stage. Generally, the system helps stabilise the car in evasive manoeuvres, particularly when the car is exposed to high lateral forces.

Volvo Cars has developed a number of in-house functionality and driver support, such as WHIPS (Whiplash Protection System), SIPS (Side Impact Protection System) and IC (Inflatable Curtain). All are fitted as standard in the Volvo XC90.

Certain components have undergone further development specifically for the XC90 model. For instance, the Inflatable Curtain has been extended so that it also covers passengers in the third row of seats. All seven seats are equipped with three-point inertia-reel seat belts, belt pre-tensioners and head restraints.

This may seem like a lot of information about one car, but there is more! Naperville Volvo dealer, Volvo of Lisle, suggests simply stopping by the largest Volvo dealership in Chicago – Volvo of Lisle. Call a Chicago Volvo specialist today at 866.913.9145.

The Volvo V60 is almost here, and Naperville Volvo dealer, Volvo of Lisle, is truly excited. The 2011 V60 has had an overwhelming response from enthusiasts. This is good news for the Volvo V60 design team, who had set their sight on giving the V60 a sporty design with the properties of a genuine sports wagon.

The V60 interior design is playful and stylish, yet simply functional. The 40/20/40-split rear seat and the fold-flat front passenger seat make it possible to combine passengers and load in a remarkably flexible way. Each backrest in the three-piece rear seat is folded with exceptional ease to create an entirely flat load floor. The rear seat headrests can be folded electrically.

The rear of the V60 has been designed for maximum utilisation of each available inch.  The 43.1 inch wide tailgate in combination with extra space behind the wheel housings and under the load floor is an example of the systematic approach adopted to ensure generous load capacity. The load area has a capacity of 15.2 cu ft. The rear seat can be specified with integrated child booster cushions in the two outer seats as well.

“Load-carrying ability is not just about volume. It is equally about the load space’s shape and flexibility. We have worked hard to free up load-carrying area and to provide capacity that truly makes a difference to the car owner. We have created the extra centimetres you need to bring with you those items that give life that added spice,” says Jonathan Disley, head of interior design in the new V60.

Easily accessible storage space is an important part of interior comfort and convenience. For instance, the new V60 has a storage compartment behind the centre stack and another in the centre console armrest, while in the door pockets there is space for books, maps and soft-drink bottles and cans. Both the front and rear seat occupants have seat pockets within easy reach.

Focus on sense of quality and craftsmanship

Just like the all-new Volvo S60, the new Volvo V60 has taken a significant step forward when it comes to the quality and craftsmanship of the interior.

“We aimed to make every visible surface, whether leather, metal, wood or plastic, exclusive both to the hand and the eye,” says Anders Sachs, who is in charge of colours and materials in the new V60.

The attractive stitching of the upholstery is one good example of the systematic approach to quality. The silk metal frame around the centre console’s décor in Charcoal, Shimmer Graphite Aluminium or Urbane Wood is another.

“We have aimed for uncompromising perfection in every single detail,” says Anders Sachs.

The Volvo V60 will definitely be the sports wagen of 2011 and will be available this fall at Chicago Volvo dealer, Volvo of Lisle. If you have any questions about the new V60, please call a Naperville Volvo specialist at 866.913.9145.

Naperville Volvo Dealer, Volvo of Lisle, has just heard some incredible news! The Naughty Volvo Tour is coming to launch the all new 2011 Volvo S60. The Naughty Volvo Tour, which will stop at around 150 Volvo retailers across the U.S. and in Canada, kicked off on July 6 in Cranston, R.I., Tulsa, Okla. and Tucson, Ariz., and will conclude in the fall.

“The 2011 Volvo S60 is really going to make an impression in the midsize sedan segment,” said Doug Speck, VCNA president and CEO.  “Not only is it the most dynamic Volvo we’ve ever produced, but it also introduces the world-first Pedestrian Detection with Full Auto Brake technology, which will automatically stop the car if it senses an impending collision with a pedestrian.  We’re excited to show the S60 to consumers so they can judge for themselves.”

Touted “the sportiest Volvo ever,” the All-New Volvo S60 is equipped with a turbocharged T6 engine, which puts out 300 horsepower and 325 lb.-ft. of torque, and comes standard with all-wheel-drive.  Its breathtaking new design captures the imagination and sets the heart racing like no other Volvo sedan, with the C-pillar stretching sensually all the way to the taillights – giving the impression of a 4-door coupe.

The All-New Volvo S60 is also available with Pedestrian Detection with Full Auto Brake, a groundbreaking technological solution that actively helps the driver avoid accidents.  Volvo’s radar- and camera-based system can detect pedestrians in front of the car, warn the driver if someone walks out into its path, and then automatically activate the S60’s full braking power if the driver fails to respond in time.

The Naughty Volvo Tour is a series of retailer-hosted experiential events, which allow attendees to preview the All-New Volvo S60 before it goes on sale.  Utilizing multimedia interactive displays to emphasize the car’s design, performance and safety attributes will heighten the sensory experience.  Demonstrations of the Pedestrian Detection system in action will also be available.
