You can now view the eclipse from your Volvo.
We’ve shared more than just a few tips with you to ensure you have the best celestial experience. Volvo offers another way to get a glimpse at this once-in a lifetime event.
Volvo’s world-first panoramic moonroof eclipse viewer was created specifically for the XC60. This is a special film that covers the sunroof to protect your eyes. However, it allows you to relax in your Volvo SUV and take in the cosmic rays.
The XC60 Panoramic Eclipse Viewer, made entirely of ISO-certified 12312-2 material and surrounded by a magnetized frame that allows you to attach it on the XC60 roof. The XC60’s new panoramic moonroof allows for views of the entire eclipse from all five seats. A limited number of viewers will be able to view select Volvo dealers in Oregon, Idaho and Nebraska.
Bob Jacobs, Vice President Marketing, Product and Brand Communications at Volvo USA, stated that the XC60 Panoramic Moonroof Eclipse Viewer provides a unique opportunity for those who are in the path of totality to enjoy this historic event in comfort and safety. We will live-stream totality in virtual reality, and we will also provide 360-degree video in 4K HD resolution for those who are not in the path.
Volvo will broadcast the eclipse via the Eclipse Viewer in high-resolution 360-degree video as part its “Racing The Sun” campaign. A virtual reality immersive experience will also be offered.
