In that time volvo had 2 systems. The volvo city safety system that had collision protection for cars (which I believe all volvo xc60's had of that period, but I believe that still has a lidar sensor), and an extra optional system called pedestrian detection (so an extra option you had to pay for).
Afaik cars with pedestrian detection had an extra sensor in the grille.
I don't see that sensor in the grille of that video, which makes me believe it was not equipped with pedestrian detection and only had city safety (car collision detection). Probably too technical for those white collared managers in that video....
This is what that sensor looked like in that generation of volvo xc60 (just left to the volvo badge):
