Unlocking new ways to enjoy smart travel, Volvo Cars debuts its new XC60 at the Shanghai Auto Show

Volvo Cars unlocks new ways to enjoy smart mobility

[Shanghai, April 19, 2021] Today, a wonderful conversation about the future of travel took place at the Volvo Cars booth at the Shanghai Auto Show. In the new XC60 that debuted for the first time, Volvo Cars gave a "high-scoring answer" to the current travel methods in the era of intelligence. The new car uses a new generation of intelligent interconnection system that is more in line with the interaction habits of contemporary people, making the mobile phone holder no longer a "must-have configuration" for the car. Focusing on the present and looking to the future, standing at the crossroads of the era of intelligent travel, Volvo Cars chose to join hands with Didi Chuxing, the world's leading mobile travel service platform, to carry out cross-border research and development of autonomous driving related technologies and jointly explore new ways to "enjoy" intelligent travel.

  A mobile "safety fortress" The new XC60 has upgraded its intelligent safety

Safety has always been a part of Volvo Cars' brand DNA. Entering the era of smart mobility, Volvo Cars still firmly grasps the "vane" of safety technology.

At present, "human-machine co-driving" is still a safer driving solution, which can not only greatly reduce the driver's fatigue, but also provide "double insurance" for the driving process. Whether the intelligent driving assistance function is convenient, easy to use and comprehensive directly affects the user experience and driving safety. Volvo's new XC60 is equipped with a unique Pilot Assist intelligent navigation assistance system and City Safety urban intelligent safety system. The "strong combination" of the two major safety technologies adds another guarantee to driving safety.

Among them, the second-generation Pilot Assist intelligent navigation assistance system has achieved full-speed coverage, and has all the functions such as active forward, assisted steering, and curve cruising. It can be used with confidence regardless of low or high speed, which not only greatly reduces driving fatigue, but also fulfills the safety commitment. The City Safety urban intelligent safety system has evolved again. The upgrade of ADAS functions such as rear automatic braking and emergency parking assistance can help users effectively eliminate safety blind spots around the car body and help protect every traffic participant.

In the intelligent era, cars are no longer cold machines or information islands, but travel partners that can listen, speak, see, and have high emotional intelligence and high IQ.

The "high IQ" and "high EQ" of Volvo's new XC60 come from its "hard and soft approach". In terms of software, Volvo is the first car brand in the industry to use a built-in native Android system. Compared with other customized versions, the native Android system has a faster response speed and higher security. At the same time, it is highly similar to the mobile phone interface, allowing contemporary users to easily get started without any learning cost, and say goodbye to the mobile phone holder.

In order to better communicate with users, the new XC60 is equipped with the leading iFlytek voice system. When you are facing the car computer, you don't need to speak in a perfect voice, even if it is Mandarin with an accent, it can easily recognize it. As users communicate with the car computer more frequently, this voice system can also understand your words more and more through the update of the background vocabulary. The excellent voice function makes the human-computer interaction of the new XC60 smoother. A large number of operations can be completed with just one sentence, reducing the chance of your hands leaving the steering wheel, and greatly improving driving safety.

There are more and more "head-down people", and the all-encompassing APPs in mobile phones are a source of fun for many people. Today, the Huawei App Store of the new XC60 can also continuously meet diverse needs with its powerful application expansion capabilities and capture your heart. Whether it is the commonly used AutoNavi map navigation, Tencent iQting that integrates a large number of entertainment resources, or even the "Bilibili" that young people love to watch, it has already been pre-installed and is waiting for you to open it. With more than 60 dialogue scenarios, the car provides you with "one-stop" services and becomes your know-it-all for food, clothing, housing and transportation.

In addition, the new Volvo XC60 has fully upgraded its intelligent interaction skill slots and introduced a powerful power combination of a new generation 2.0T turbocharged engine + 48V mild hybrid system in terms of power control, which can not only achieve kinetic energy recovery to reduce fuel consumption, but also improve vehicle start-stop smoothness, acceleration response and comfort when starting or accelerating sharply. In terms of appearance, the new XC60, which has achieved full electrification, has enhanced its powerful and sculptural appearance, making it more in line with the aesthetic characteristics of the electrification era.

A vision of future travel: Volvo Cars joins hands with Didi Chuxing

The progress of smart travel lies in keeping our feet on the ground while also daring to look up to the stars. The new XC60 is Volvo Cars' answer to the current situation, and the cooperation with Didi is to create a better future smart travel experience.

Volvo Cars and Didi Chuxing officially sign a strategic cooperation agreement

Intelligence is the only way for Volvo Cars to achieve safety. As one of the earliest brands in the industry to explore autonomous driving technology, Volvo has rich technical reserves in the field of autonomous driving. In the era of intelligence, cooperation with top partners in various fields and leveraging each other's strengths is a more efficient research and development path. So far, Volvo Cars has reached cooperation with companies such as UBER and Waymo around the world to carry out research in the field of autonomous driving. At this Shanghai Auto Show, Volvo Cars and Didi Chuxing, the world's leading mobile travel service platform, officially signed a strategic cooperation agreement, promising to provide vehicles for Didi Chuxing's autonomous driving technology research and development. This is a new step after the two parties jointly launched the XC60 autonomous driving taxi service in Shanghai last year, which marks a new stage in Volvo Cars' exploration of the field of autonomous driving.

As a company that always "looks at the present from the future", Volvo Cars not only presented a smarter travel guide at the auto show, but also painted a beautiful picture of future travel for people. On the road to the intelligent future, people are always the starting point and end point of all Volvo's technologies.

Volvo XC90 will be the first model to integrate Didi's Gemini autonomous driving hardware platform
