Renamed version of the China-only Volvo S60L

Volvo has decided to bring the China-only S60L to the United States, renaming it as the Volvo S60 Inscription. The long-wheelbase version of the mid-size sedan has made its debut at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show, and will be imported from China.

Thanks to the increased wheelbase, the Volvo S60 Inscription offers better legroom for rear passenger which, they claim, is the "best in-class".

It will be sold in two variants, one of which is the Premier variant that will feature luxury touches like bespoke 19-inch wheels, interior accent lighting, Linear Walnut trim, silk metal detailing along with Inscription-branded tread plates, sunroof, leather upholstery and the Sensus Navigation package, while the other is the more-expensive Platinum model, which further adds an Harman Kardon audio system, bi-xenon headlights and a full Sensus technology package.
