Volvo Military Sales – Autovillage had the pleasure and honour of attending the New S60 Global Launch in Lisbon, Portugal (10th – 12th July). The sales team, Andrew, Kevin, Lilia, Anthony and Terry (our newest addition to the team) joined VCIC agents from across the globe to be introduced to Volvo’s best Sedan to date.
The New Volvo S60 boasts some outstanding new technology including a world first for City Safety and Pedestrian Safety Systems (video can be found on this blog). Having been introduced to these systems from a classroom point of view the team had the chance to sit behind the wheel of the powerful T6 engine (300 bhp) and take it for a spin. This consisted of two sections:
1: The local test drive. This took us up into the mountains around the Lisbon area to take in the beautiful scenery and to get a real feel for the cars ability to handle the small, winding roads. You also found yourself gliding effortlessly over the uneven surfaces as you drove through one of the several local villages alone the route; truly an enjoyable experience from start to end.
2: The real test drive! Now for those who like to test their driving skills to the limit, this was the perfect chance. Volvo had set up their base of operations for the event at the near by Estoril Circuit which once held F1 races but now holds the Moto GP every year. We were able to get to know the car a little better in terms of driving dynamics as we sheppard around the course by our very own professional rally drivers. Once we had sufficiently scared our driver with the poor driving abilities on show (or annoyed, I’m not quite sure) we swapped seats for a true demo on how it’s done. Let’s just say it handles very well at high speeds and adapts to the situations smoothly without the driver having to fight it to keep on the right line.
Overall it was a great event from start to finish and Volvo have beyond doubt created a new generation of Volvo’s in the New Volvo S60.

Volvo Cars has climbed to tenth place in the JD Powers IQS survey
Volvo Cars has climbed to tenth place in the JD Powers IQS survey. This is the company’s best placing in the past seven years. What is more, the C70 is ranked as the best sports car in the premium segment.
Last year, Volvo Cars took 20th place in the Initial Quality Study. This year, however, there was a significant climb in the rankings. Tenth place is the company’s highest position since 2002 when Volvo took fifth place.
“The IQS is the Olympics or World Championship of the car manufacturers’ world, so it feels really good to reverse a downward trend and improve our placing by a massive ten positions,” says Bengt Banck, Senior Vice President, Quality and Customer Satisfaction.
This year Volvo registered 109 problems per hundred cars. The corresponding figure last year was 118.
“Our goal was 100 problems per hundred cars and 15th place in the rankings. We met both our targets, which is excellent,” says Bengt Banck.
Volvo ahead of Audi and BMW
The top result was scored by Porsche, with just 83 problems per hundred cars. This was followed by Acura (86), Mercedes-Benz (87) and Lexus (88 problems per hundred cars).
Bengt Banck has not yet had time to analyse the results in detail. However, he wants to express his admiration for all the hard work put in by the company’s employees. “Our achievement is the result of dedicated staff who work hard every single day and whose sights are firmly set on delivering high quality,” he adds.
It is also gratifying for Volvo Cars that the C70, which is built at the Pininfarina factory in Uddevalla, is classed as the best "Compact Premium Sporty Car" ahead of the Mercedes E-Class Coupe. “The team in Uddevalla adopted our approach of aiming 15 percent above target in order to be sure of getting there. It’s an approach that delivers results.”
The industry average in this year’s survey rose from 108 to 109 problems per hundred cars, that is to say the same as the Volvo Cars result.
“We haven’t yet reached our long-term target. For example, we received comments in the "difficult to use" category. We have to quickly draw the relevant conclusions ahead of the launch of the S60 and V60,” explains Bengt Banck.
The JD Powers IQS survey measures how US customers perceive their new cars three months after delivery.

All New Volvo S60
Volvo Military Sales - Autovillage announces the release of the new Volvo S60
Here at Volvo Military Sales - Autovillage we are proud to announce that the New Volvo S60 has been released to order and that you will find full pricing details on our website - www.volvomilitarysales.com
The New Volvo S60 has pushed the boundaries once again with new and innovative safety features. Here are a just two of the new preventive safety features:
City Safety
75 percent of all reported collisions occur at speeds of up to 18 mph and half of these occur in city traffic.To help reduce the consequences of a low speed collision in urban traffic and slow-moving traffic queues, Volvo has launched the foreseeing City Safety, a standard feature in the Volvo S60. Due to the infrared laser sensor, the City Safety Technology can determine whether you are approaching a vehicle from behind too fast. If the driver fails to react in due time, the City Safety will automatically apply the brakes in order to slow down the car either to avoid the collision, which is possible if the speed difference between the two vehicles is below 9 mph or reduce the impact if the speed difference is between 9 and 18 mph.At the same time, the interior restraint systems are pre-prepared for activation. City Safety operates at speeds of up to 18 mph and is programmed to respond if the vehicle in front is either at a stand still or is moving slower in the same direction as your own car in order to help reduce the risk of injury to yourself and your passengers as well as reducing the risk of whiplash injury to the occupants in the vehicle ahead.
Collision Warning with Full Auto Brake and pedestrian detection
This system reacts when a pedestrian walks out in front of a car and will activate the car's full braking power if the driver does not respond to the danger. This groundbreaking innovation is being presented in the Volvo S60.
So why wait, visit us at www.volvomilitarsales.com and enter the world of Volvo
