There are a surprising number of countries of the world that drive on the right-hand side of the road and Japan is one of them. That makes the far-eastern land an ideal place to source cars. Japan has stringent regulations regarding vehicles bought and sold and this is good news for overseas buyers. Vehicle stocks are plentiful, prices competitive and, best of all, the choice is not restricted to Japanese-built cars. Vehicles are imported from all around the world and one of the best buys in terms of premium quality and safety is the Volvo XC60. This fine car is available through the our team as well as a the majority of the Japanese wholesale and retails sales featuring cars from almost every car manufacturer.
About The Volvo XC60
One of the Swedish brands most popular SUV’s, the mid-size XC60 offers that especially cool Scandinavian-inspired styling, exceptional safety technology, longevity plus a high level of comfort and practicality. In short, it’s a fine all-rounder.
The XC denotes cross-country ability making this car as much at home out in the wilds as it is in the city. Volvo’s design language extends across the whole range, with the usual classic Volvo styling cues. Key features include the iconic “Thor’s Hammer” LED headlight design and a now familiar grille.
Power
Options vary, depending upon region as ever, but with various diesel or petrol engines the choice is good. The latest models feature Volvo’s ‘Drive-E’ power-trains. As well as petrol and diesel and Volvo’s T8 Twin Engine, there’s also a petrol plug-in hybrid mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission.
Volvo’s Twin Engine plug-in hybrid delivers all the benefits of a high performance, low emission petrol engine with an electric motor that delivers power on demand with ultra low CO² emissions and more than 40km (25 miles) of pure electric range.
Safety
Volvo’s leadership in the field of automotive safety is second to none. Their cars feature numerous safety systems designed to protect people inside and outside the car. For example, the brand’s ‘City Safety’ technology, standard on all Volvo models, combines automatic braking functionality and collision avoidance systems to cover a range of potential accident scenarios and help keep driver and passengers safe.
Interior
The interior has the now-expected Scandinavian design that raises the bar in the premium sector with natural materials and new details on the dashboard and instrument panel. Naturally, all Volvo cars are in touch with the world thanks to Volvo’s connectivity and infotainment systems.
Again this varies regionally and of course date of manufacture, but the latest models are fully loaded. The most recent offer an intuitive touch screen interface that combines car functions, navigation, connected services and in-car entertainment applications (Have you noticed how these options are increasing?) such as Spotify, Pandora, Baidu or TuneIn. Interestingly, the touch screen is portrait-oriented which enables easy and fast access to a host of functions and features, like smartphone integration with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.
