New Volvo V60

The V60 is available with four inline-four petrol engines, including two 1.6-liter units and two 2.0-liter models. Its range-leading inline-six is a 3.0-liter unit that produces 304 hp.  This serious powerhouse gets the car from 0-100 km/h in 6.6 seconds, and is limited to a top speed of 250 km/h.

The V60 can also be chosen with a diesel engine, in which Volvo offers 3 choices. The offerings include a 115-hp 1.6-liter inline-four, and two inline-five workhorses. 

“Many of the customers who had an advance look at the new V60 during the development process feel that its attitude is at least as sporty as that of the all-new S60,” said Volvo Design Director Peter Horbury.

To add a sportier look to the car, it has been given a coupe-inspired roof, sculpted styling at the front, and a bulging “shoulder” to keep with Volvo’s design language. 
Collision avoidance, pedestrian detection, all-wheel drive, tight steering, stability control, traction control in the corners, and an advanced brake system are all included for the driver’s benefit.  The price tag of the new Volvo V60 is to be announced soon.
