2009 Volvo XC60 Officially Unveiled: Most "Sensual" Volvo Ever

Although we gave you the XC60 tease this weekend, Volvo's now dropped the full bomb of photos, video and details on the new 2009 Volvo XC60 — a car Volvo describes as being not only "one of this year's most anticipated new car launches" and "one of the safest Volvo ever" but also the "most sensual" Volvo ever. We'll have to leave whether Volvo's right on on that one to you, our dear readers. But for the moment, we think it may be a bit of overselling. Especially since everyone knows that standard bearer is obviously the Volvo 240chero. But one thing's for sure, this new Car-UV is an important one for Volvo as they see it being the next step up for a buyer of a Volvo C30. The goal for an automaker is to always "keep 'em in the family" — so Ford's brand all about safety's hoping to make it a hit for 20,000 or so buyers of the C30 starting in 2009. Full release below the jump and we'll be adding video above shortly. Update: Video added above.

The funky, sculpted sheet metal on the front fascia, doors and rear end have been toned down a little more than we'd like. Also gone are the trick door handles and bumper-integrated exhaust. Predictably, the headlights and taillights from the concept have also been swapped out for more conventional units.
