VOLVO S60 2021 REVIEW: SERENE LUXURY
Not many Volvo offerings of being a head-turner – something The all-new S60’s intention wheelbase profile with a stretched out is clear from its low-slung can claim with bravado – black diamond cut alloys and captivating 10 multi-spoke
The new Volvo S60 has been a long time coming to Indian shores. Now, with the launch scheduled for March, Volvo Cars India is raring and resolute to put up the S60 against its traditional German rivals. The sedan seeks to play a balancing act – building on its strengths with
the added intent to thrill.
LIKE IT IN THE LOOKS
It is the sportiest looking S60 ever from the Volvo stable in a long time. It gets a low-slung profile with a stretched out wheelbase and really captivating 10 multi-spoke black diamond cut alloys.
STEP INTO SCANDINAVIA
The cabin is where this car continues to hold the most potential. Softtouch plastics are omnipresent with a nicely spread out dash. A hint of chrome on the door handles and driftwood inlays on the front and center panel whisper Scandinavian aesthetics. The nine-inch infotainment system is large and vivid.
SPORTIER, SPIRITED
The S60 drives a whole lot better – to-be-read-as sportier – than the preceding model. Its four-cylinder petrol engine punches out 190 hp and has 300 Nm of torque for a spirited intent. If it wasn’t for a rather circumspect eight-speed automatic gearbox hunting for the right number when the car is being pushed, this machine would’ve been closer to perfection for those seeking a more engaging experience behind the wheel. But while the gearbox is nicely tuned for cruising and gentle rumblings, it does take a fraction longer to notch up the right high number for the car to propel effortlessly.
The model will be available only in the T4 Inscription trim.
