Volvo XC60 Adopts Four-C Chassis


The new Volvo XC60, available in early 2009, will have the Four-C chassis (Continuously Controlled Chassis Concept) as an option. Four-C is Volvo's integration of the electronic suspension, and increases performance and overall comfort to once of the safest cars on the market. According to Volvo marketing, the XC60 will target consumers who desire high tech solutions in their everyday lifestyle.

Three settings will be available to the driver. Comfort, Automatic, and Dynamic. The Automatic setting is best for everyday driving and makes the vehicle "City Safe". Late for work? Switch to Dynamic to fly around vehicles with the agility of an NBA star. Taking Grandma for a leisurely Sunday drive? Comfort setting will give her more comfort than her favorite rocking chair.

Watch for reviews in Auto mags on the vehicle soon - press test drives start next month in Valencia, Spain.
