2011 Volvo S60 Preview
DesignLike many automakers, Volvo has sculpted its latest sedan to align with the popular 4-door coupe style-Volkswagen's new CC being a prime example. Volvo says of the new S60's design: "Its profile radiates so much coupe feeling that the rear doors come as something of a pleasant surprise when you examine the car close-up."
The interior of the 5-passenger S60 retains the familiar Volvo appearance, with a focus on simplicity and clarity, the company says. "The all-new S60 brings us up to a whole new level when it comes to the integral experience of color, form, material and technology," the automaker states. Even though the roofline has been slimmed, the rear split-folding seats offer more knee space than in the outgoing model, and the trunk opening is wider to accommodate larger loads.
Model Lineup
The 2011 Volvo S60 will be offered with 4- and 6-cylinder turbocharged powerplants and a choice between front- and all-wheel drive. A high-performance T6 model will follow shortly thereafter, but the wagon variant will likely remain only in Europe-for now.
All 2011 S60 models offer a high level of standard equipment. This includes power windows, power door locks with keyless entry, cruise control, and dual-zone automatic climate control with air conditioning and pollen/dust filter. The top-of-the-line S60 T6 is fitted with standard leather sport seats, power glass sunroof, compass in the rearview mirror, Satellite Radio prep, upgraded 6-speed "Geartronic" transmission and larger wheels and tires.
