Volvo Car USA designed and developed a custom eclipse viewer for the standard panoramic moonroof in the all-new 2018 XC60. The viewers were shipped to select Volvo retailers along the eclipse’s path, allowing individuals to view the August 21, 2017 event safely and comfortably in the all-new XC60.
The XC60 Panoramic Moonroof Eclipse Viewer is made with an ISO-certified 12312-2 material and features a magnetised frame to attach to the XC60’s roof. The size of the XC60’s panoramic moonroof allows viewing from all five seats in the vehicle.
Select Volvo retailers in the solar eclipse’s path of totality in Oregon, Idaho, Nebraska, Missouri and South Carolina were prioritised for the limited number of viewers.
“The development of the XC60 Panoramic Moonroof Eclipse Viewer gives those in the eclipse’s path a unique way to experience this historic event in both comfort and safety,” said Bob Jacobs, vice-president of marketing, product and brand Communications, Volvo Car USA.
