Volvo revealed today the first official images and informations about the all-new 2009 XC60 that will make its world debut in March at the Geneva Motor Show. Sales of the car will start in Europe during the second half of 2008, while sales in North America will get under way in early 2009.
The new XC60 is being launched with a choice of three engines: the turbocharged T6 which produces 285 hp, and two variants of the D5 turbodiesel, producing 185 and 163 hp respectively. All Wheel Drive (AWD) is fitted as standard. In 2009 Volvo will add a new 2.4-litre version powered by a Euro 5 diesel engine producing 163 hp and with a CO2 rating of around 170 g/km.
A variety of intelligent safety systems are another important part of the XC60 model’s special character. The big news is City Safety - a unique feature that can help the driver avoid or reduce the effects of the type of low-speed impacts that are common in city traffic and traffic tailbacks. If the car is about to drive into the vehicle in front and the driver does not react, the car brakes itself.
Press release after the jump.

Volvo will unveil the XC60 in March at the Geneva Motor Show, the production version of the XC60 Concept unveiled in Detroit in January 2007. This charismatic crossover vehicle integrates both the unmistakable, muscular XC-versatility and the sporty charisma of a coupe and takes Volvo into a new segment.
The XC60 will feature a bolder front end with a bigger badge and grille. It will remain faithful to the concept, except the 20" wheels and adding new-era, widely spaced V-o-l-v-o name spelt out on the bootlid. This will be Volvo’s answer to the BMW X3.
It will be offered with a wide range of engines, both petrol and diesel; all models will be permanent four-wheel drive.
Prices will begin at £25,000.
