During its Ad filming, the new S60 sporting Volvo’s new design language was scooped. It looks fabulous. It’s going to kill a BMW, Audi and Mercedes if Volvo takes care of marketing it properly and supporting its buyers well when it lands in India next year.
You’ve likely seen the concept which it is based on. Worry not if you haven’t - the production car spotted has very little separating it from its origin.
The new S60 comes from a company named Volvo – synonymous with safety. It will adopt technology that saves the Mercedes Benz S500 piloted by an inattentive driver, from ramming into the car in front – ‘Collision Warning with Full Auto Brake’ they call it. It can even apply the brakes if your collider is human.
The pillars have been put on a diet, while it is the opposite with other car makers – aiding visibility and reducing weight. However the materials in application is not verified, so we’ll not comment any further.
With the Frankfurt debut ruled out, the car could make an appearance later on this year at another international auto show. It’s coming to India next year for sure. No word on the pricing yet, its looks and features are under the spotlight for now.
