IRVINE, Calif. – Volvo is giving customers a sneak peak at its safest car ever made – the Volvo XC60 with standard City Safety – through the nationwide From Sweden with Löv Experiential Tour that will canvas the southern and western U.S. simultaneously, stopping in more than 85 cities.

The new XC60 features City Safety, a system designed to help the driver avoid or reduce low-speed impacts that are common in city traffic. If the car is about to strike the vehicle in front and the driver does not react, the car automatically applies the brakes.

"With the XC60, seeing is believing, and attendees to the tour stop events have been excited by the City Safety feature", says Doug Speck, president and chief executive officer for Volvo Cars of North America. "Since the tour began last fall, an impressive number of customers have preordered the new XC60 which goes on sale this March."

Volvo says that according to surveys, more than 75 percent of all accidents occur at speeds below 18 mph, and the company is involved in a dialogue with several insurance companies regarding lower insurance premiums for cars equipped with City Safety.
