You said that you'd buy the car for its engineering marvel on safety, comfort and reliability, mechanical performance and drivability of the car? But do not you think that the feature is ALSO a part of the marvels, hm? But yes, I agree with you that if a person bought this car and then confidently driving haphazardly just because he thought that this feature could help him

Another take:
Fifth Gear Comment “It does work, but if only you are stupid enough to not know when your car is crashing in that speed in the first place...the idiots should get it” this was a comment made by expert car reviews. Implying if you still hit people at that speed, you shouldn’t be on the road driving in the first place. How can you not predict you are going to rear-end other cars

QUOTED by Clarkson:
The system is called City Safety, it’s fitted as standard to all XC60s and it works like this. A radar “sees” the road ahead and if it senses that you are about to have a rear-end shunt it will apply the brakes for you. I know the system is supposed to work only in city traffic at speeds less than 20mph, but so far as I can tell, it doesn’t seem to work at all. (He hit

Haf: Well I understand the points you pointed out. I am sorry if some of my comments were rather harsh.

I know Mercedes had the technology, so did Lexus. I want to state the difference, Pre-safe does not halt the car but rather slows it down, also makes the brake more sensitive when the driver does brake unlike the city safety which will halt it for ‘You’. Also, I meant my previous

To Anonymous;
The Auto braking feature is standard on the XC60, which makes it the first car ever in the world to have such feature fitted as standard. And to call it "new and unfound for" is very much ridiculous. Mercedes has similar system, called as "Pre-Safe", which I assume you have watched it on TopGear (where the tester actually rear-ended other cars because they

I luv the design of the car, its makes the xc90 look far more uglier than it usually is. I like all the safety features which is exceptional and very good but I find one very odd feature. That's the 'auto braking by city safety'. I understand that its quite 'new and cool', to me its more of a gimmick to sell to the people who likes things that are new and unfound for. Its a
