The Concept You control centre consists of four main areas; a digital Driver Information Monitor (DIM), a head-up display on the windscreen, a touch-screen in the upper part of the centre console and a touch-screen between the two individual rear seats. The wood/leather steering wheel has aluminium and glass paddles with integrated touch-screens.

The touch-screen in the upper part of the centre console remains in sleeping mode until the driver looks at it. A hidden infrared camera registers the eye movements and information is displayed on the screen.

New Volvo You Concept design also integrates the luxury qualities of a tailor made suit into the car. The back of the front seats and the door panels feature exclusive Italian fabric and designs from Swedish fashion house Oscar Jacobson.

The interior is full of classic forms, materials and textures, used with a twist to create a special contemporary luxury experience. It is exceptionally refined, yet with all the simplistic assets that make Volvo champions of the uncomplicated,” explains Peter Horbury. He concludes:

“We are carving out a unique position among the luxury car makers with our special kind of Scandinavian Design. It will be unmatched in performance, technology and craftsmanship, but without superficiality or complication.”

New Volvo You Concept is finished in a light blue, liquid metal paint from DuPont. The ventilated disc brakes are developed by Volvo’s racing specialists Polestar.

“The design of the wheels, the grille and details in the innovative headlamps have been inspired by the exquisite works of world-famous Danish design house Georg Jensen. Their precious items capture the essence of Scandinavian design. Uncluttered, organic surfaces and superb craftsmanship that radiate timeless luxury,” says Peter Horbury

New Volvo Diesel Engine More Powerful and Save Money

In Europe, diesel engines are now to be excellent. Almost all producers, from city cars to luxury, offering a diesel product. The reason, the modern diesel engine technology with "common rail" is more friendly to the environment, more efficient fuel consumption, engine sound which is no longer harsh and more subtle vibration. In addition, for treatment, not too complicated so that more practical and economical. Hence, more and more manufacturers to develop diesel engines with better capabilities.

One European manufacturer is aggressively develop a diesel engine is a Volvo. Last Swedish carmaker now owned by Geely, China, modify to increase the working capacity of the diesel engine used for the V70, XC70 and S60, the cylinder D5 engine, 5-cylinder turbo diesel and and D3. With this new engine, the fuel consumption of the Volvo S80 is fitted with a manual transmission system start / stop system, the fuel consumption (combined) - based on the European test standard - 4.9 liter/100 km or 20.4 km / liter. "Actually, the development in some parts of the machine that performed at the same time making the car more stable steered. Operational costs are also cheap / It took a while to determine and fix the small details for the machine work more efficiently, "says Derek Crabb, Vice President of Powertrain Engineering Volvo Cars.

Sequential Turbo
Before the developed again, D5 engine is considered as the best diesel engine in its class. Because this engine uses a twin-turbo technology, sequential (consecutive), glow plugs and fuel injectors ceramic piezo-electric. New features are developed in a twin-turbo engine is turbocharged with two different sizes, working in tandem to increase the power in the range of engine speed is greater. As a result, the engine became more responsive and powerful and more stable at high rotation speed up. Piezo electric injector technology makes the distribution of fuel into the combustion chamber more accurately. Meanwhile D3 engine that produces 183 PS power and 400 Nm of torque Vovlo introduced in S60 and V60 in 2010 essentially the same as D5. Just a shorter step so that the capacity down to 2.0 liters.

Both engines use the same injector, namely piezo-electric. With accuracy and high working pressure, the injector is working more effectively to produce combustion. Further, steady diesel-engined car at various speeds and speed up the spin machine. Other factors that also make it more powerful diesel engine, urbocharger used is the type of geometry that can change the alias VGT (variable geometry turbocharger). Angle leaves the turbine turbo vary according to engine speed or pressure released by the engine exhaust gas.
