Volvo Safety Features In Action

Held once every quarter, the purpose of Volvo Experience Day is two-fold. On one hand Volvo wants to give current customers and possible new customers the chance to, what I call, ‘scratch and sniff’ the current Volvo range. Current owners might upgrade to a new model and new leads might sign on the dotted line and buy into the Volvo family. (Not that any hard selling takes place on the day. Quite the opposite actually.)

On the other hand, Volvo hope that over the course of the day, you will learn something new about the marque, share that friends and family, and generally become a positive spokesperson for the brand. Obviously, the core reason is to ultimately sell more cars, but with the Volvo Experience Day, it never feels like that is the overriding reason for everyone being there.

Held at Swartkops Raceway in Gauteng, the day is broken up into a series of four separate events or exhibitions, each showcasing a unique feature of the Volvo range. Attendees are divided into groups, and throughout the day each group rotates, making sure everyone has a chance to experience everything on offer.

Among Audi, Mercedes, BMW Volvo is underrated

They introduced this feature way back 2009 in the XC60. Lexus just had this in 2017.

Quite a few guys in the comment who derive their sense of identity from being able to parallel park and feel threatened by this.

I wants demo of this in France. French park less than than 6 inches (13 cm) between cars. Most Americans would be frustrated and have to ask a European driver to park the car. I doubt this feature would be off much use that situation.

Dont like that u have to keep changing gears..have tesla and it does everything from change gear to put itself in park to finish..love the xc90 overall

This needs balance. I was just involved in an accident caused by systems over reacting causing an accident in 2023 xc40.
(It wrongly jammed on b 2:43 rakes in the middle of busy intersection)

Surprised there were no car hijackers.

Hey, can this be turned off in case I want to use some terrible self driving software?

Is it so difficult to park seriously ? 😂

[IReapZz]

the parking is cool and all but if you live in the city you won't be able to find a parking spot as big as that and that car fits in a smaller spot so the electronic system is not perfected in america are morons when it comes to parking so I'm not surpirse they added it as it, because they can't even park a xc60 in a parking space where anybody else would be able to fit a bus. However, I can personally fit that car in a much tighter space than that so this whole electronic parking feautre is the so useless to people like me or anybody that lives in a European city like Rome, Madrid, London (even though its not anymore) or actually learned how to drive. Getting you license in the US is easier than going to the supermarket on the weekend, its horrifying

Better yet get a taxi since all the driving pleasure and skill is replaced by computer and sensors. I hate city safety, causes more problems then it solves. I got rear ended 3 times because of it getting thru traffic lights, completely brakes out of nowhere! And all the times just because I forgot to deactivate it.
