distributes the braking effect between the front and rear

wheels in order to achieve optimal results according to the

car’s load and driving conditions.

PACK & LOAD

PACK & LOAD Carrying/Towing

Roof cargo carrying system*

To help you fully utilize the roof of your Volvo, we’ve developed

a range of versatile cargo carrying accessories. This system

is dimensioned to carry up to 165 lbs. The factory-fitted

attachment points in the car’s roof make the load carriers easy

to fit, and even quicker if your car has roof rails. Various load

accessories – such as roof boxes and different holders for

bikes, skis, surfboards and kayaks – can be attached to the

cargo carriers to meet your needs. These accessories can be

freely combined for flexibility and many are aerodynamically

designed to help reduce fuel consumption and wind noise.

And most of them can be locked with the same key, using

Volvo’s One-Key System.

of the load compartment.

Performance

PERFORMANCE Chassis/Steering

Driveline

Front wheel drive. Transverse engine. Six-speed manual

transmission. It is also available with a five-speed Geartronic

automatic allowing manual shifting. The smooth manual six-

speed transmission inspires an active driving style, while the

smooth clutch operation affords confident take-off. For the best

of both worlds, there’s the option of Geartronic – a responsive

five-speed automatic for relaxed driving. It can also be shifted

manually so that you can maintain a lower gear to bring up the

revs or provide the added assistance of engine braking.

Chassis

Front suspension with spring struts (McPherson), anti-dive

and anti-lift function. Multilink independent rear suspension.

Stabilizer bars front and rear. R-

DESIGN offers a sport tuned

dynamic chassis that includes stiffer spring rates and dampers

with a quicker steering ratio, for spirited driving. Dynamic

Stability system can help counteract a skid. The rigid body

enables the suspension to perform optimally – for well-

balanced handling and a high level of comfort. The front and

rear suspensions also interact to provide stable braking and

smooth steering. The DSTC system assists if either of the

drive wheels begins to lose traction, and adds the benefit of

counteracting if a skid is imminent

Steering

Power-assisted electro-hydraulic rack and pinion steering. Tilt

and telescopic steering wheel column. 2.6–2.9 turns lock to lock

(depending on wheel size). Turning circle 38.1 ft, depending on

wheel size. Behind the wheel, you can enjoy responsive yet firm

steering at all speeds. High steering precision and balanced

road feedback are easily enjoyed benefits.

Brakes

Power-assisted anti-lock disc brakes (ABS), ventilated discs

front. EBA (Emergency Brake Assistance). EBD (Electronic

Brake Distribution) between the front and rear brakes.

Diagonal-split braking system. Powerful anti-lock disc brakes
