San Francisco, CA (Jan. 29, 2009) - Anticipation is growing as Volvo Cars of North America, LLC, (VCNA) today announced pricing of the exciting new 2010 Volvo XC60 T6 AWD small premium utility. With a starting price of just $37,200* for the well-equipped XC60, buyers will have it all: Class-leading safety, stunning design and unrivaled driving dynamics. The new Volvo XC60 goes on sale this March.

The XC60 is Volvo's entry into the growing small premium utility segment. Features such as leather seating surfaces with a power driver's seat, SIRIUS satellite radio (with complimentary six-month subscription), hands-free Bluetooth connectivity, HD Radio technology with USB and AUX ports are all standard. As a special introductory offer, the unique Panorama moonroof will be offered at no charge. Customers may also opt for Volvo's DVD-based navigation system with integrated back-up camera and two new colors: Lime Grass Green or Terra Bronze.

Continuing Volvo's quest as a pioneer and leader in vehicle safety systems, the XC60 introduces a new world's first -- City Safety -- as standard equipment. City Safety is a driver-support system aimed at preventing or mitigating collisions occurring at speeds of 19 mph or less.

The new Volvo XC60 is the first production expression of Volvo's new design DNA. As a crossover, it artfully blends a dynamic mix of two car styles. Down below, the unmistakable, immensely capable XC pumps up its muscles creating a strong athletic body that is mated with high ground clearance and large wheels. Up top the flowing lines create the sporty charisma of a coupe.

The 3.0-liter turbocharged T6 engine is based on Volvo's naturally aspirated 3.2-liter inline all-aluminum six-cylinder that was introduced in the Volvo S80 in 2008. The T6 delivers 281 horsepower with torque of no less than 295 lb.-ft., combining for best-in-class performance. Maximum torque is available from just 1,500 rpm and remains on tap throughout the rev range. The result is swift acceleration and impressive passing performance. Volvo's all-wheel-drive system with Instant Traction is standard in the new XC60.

The XC60 is also included in Volvo's recently announced Complimentary Factory Scheduled Maintenance program, which covers the first three years or 36,000 miles (whichever comes first). Complimentary Factory Scheduled Maintenance helps reduce the cost of ownership by providing customers the first four maintenance visits to their Volvo retailer as complimentary. A wide range of services are covered by the program, including oil and filter changes, cabin filter replacement, complete fluid level top-offs and a check of the vehicle's on-board diagnostic system.

"My first impression upon getting into the 2010 Volvo XC60 was that Volvo had out-Audied Audi.  Nice trick, especially considering that Audi is a direct competitor"

Thc Car Connection, Marty Padgett:
"Volvo's never been thrust in the spotlight for its styling, but the XC60 stands out in this niche.  It's most attractive from the rear corners, where its taillamps drape over shoulders carved out like a weightlifter's deltoids."

The Detroit Bureau, Paul A. Eisenstine
"And if our first drive of the new (Volvo) crossover is any indication, they just might be able to grab some of the folks who'd normally opt for more passionate brands, like BMW, with its compact X5, Audi, with the new Q5, Acura, with its RDX, or Volkswagen, with the oddly-named Tigaun."

izoom.com, Larry Edsall
"City Safety technology makes the all-new XC60 Volvo's safest vehicle.  But safe doesn't mean dull for the driver.  Dynamics benchmarked against the C30 Coupe make this crossover utility delightfully dynamic, even when there's an enthusiast at the wheel."

The Detroit Bureau, Henny Hemmes
"City Safety is already piling up the awards,  It netter the "Traffic Safety Achievement Award.' presented during the World Traffic Safety Symposium in New York last month, and February sees the Swedes granering the prestigious Paul-Pietsch award/"
