Volvo V60 Wagon 2012 Production-ready Hybrid In Geneva

Volvo V60 Wagon 20122012 V60 Plug-In Hybrid
We already knew that Volvo presents its 2012 production-ready V60 Plug-In Hybrid in 2011, the Geneva Motor Show, but the automaker has released the first official pictures and information on the semi-electric car this morning.

Developed in collaboration with European Energy Vattenfall, the V60 was developed in parallel with C30 after the maker of electric cars, but that's where the similarities end. Sport AWD V60, but assigns a 215-horsepower, 2.4-liter turbo-diesel I-5 to power the front wheels, while driving a motor of 70 horsepower electric rear axle. A battery of 12 kWh lithium ion battery is also integrated into the system.

How do I use this propulsion system totally at the discretion of the driver. Three driving modes - including one that makes the V60 as a pure electric vehicle - can be selected from behind the wheel. The pure method allows up to 31 miles pure EV driving. Hybrid mode combines both traditional energy sources and to provide the most economical way of driving. A feeding method combines engine and electric motor to deliver all the power, and thereafter, all-wheel drive.

In full power mode, the V60 PHEV sprint from 0 to 62 mph in 6.9 seconds, but choosing a more efficient hybrid may allow up to 745 miles of travel before filling the tank and charge the battery. Volvo plans to charge times vary from as little as three hours when you use a charger 16 amps at 240 volts for 7.5 hours when using a 230-V, the supply of six amps - a bit like a classic European household outlet. The car can also be pre-cooled or heated during charging, with these parameters are controlled, either in the setup menu of the car in the car or via a mobile application.

The V60 plug-in hybrid is expected to launch in Europe next year, and both prices and the deployment schedule may be discussed next week in its debut in Geneva. The executives suggested that the V60 PHEV can reach American shores, but if so, can not maintain the diesel engine. The exchange could affect the extent, but the appeal to buyers in a market traditionally hostile to diesel.

2010 New Cadillac SRX Full Review

The 2010 Cadillac SRX—the luxury brand's mid-size crossover utility vehicle—has been named an Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) Top Safety Pick.A top score in the new IIHS rollover (roof-crush) test assures the award. While the SRX had already earned top 'good' ratings for frontal, side, and rear crash protection, the organization saves its Top Safety Pick designation for top scores in all those categories, plus the rollover test and the availability of electronic stability control.In the roof test, the IIHS measures protection the vehicle might provide in the event of a rollover, by seeing how much constant force the roof will take in a particular location (and with a particular contact plate) before it deforms five inches. That force is then divided by the weight of the vehicle.

The SRX roof withstood 4.14 times its weight—although the IIHS cautions that GM strengthened the roof partway through the model year, and the results only apply to SRX models built after May 2010. To get a 'good' score, a vehicle must be able to withstand four times its body weight in the test. The current federal standard is just 1.5, though it's due to be doubled by 2016. For 2010, the Cadillac SRX was completely redesigned—as well as realigned as a completely different kind of model than before. While the previous SRX had been based on a rear-wheel-drive sedan platform, this new version is related to the Chevrolet Equinox.

In our full review of the 2010 Cadillac SRX, we point to its rich interior appointments, strong engine performance, and excellent brakes as likes, though engine noise was a disappointment. The SRX competes in one of the hottest segment of the market, with some of the many alternatives including the Lexus RX 350, Volvo XC60, Audi Q5, and Mercedes-Benz GLK.

They gave me a 2008 Volvo C30 to drive. I actually asked for it because I like to drive something different when I can. They always try to put you in a model either the same as the one you own or higher, but I wanted to see what the C30 was all about.

From the outside the C30 looks like a Volvo, and has the very distinctive Volvo lines. It’s nose is Volvo, and it has the Volvo hips on it that make it look very Volvo. I like the Volvo body style so the outside is a winner for me. It looks very exciting and very Volvo. The front bumper is very sporty looking and has an aggressive look to it. The rear is a bit odd but it works as a hatch back. I would have liked to have more room to slide in wider objects but over all it’s good.
