SWISS SUPREMACY

An interesting journey of Volvo from making the safest cars to making the most desirable cars, the S60 has as well grown up its pedigree

CHARACTER, CHARISMA and craft – three things that pretty much define the S60 for me. The mid-size sedan segment has seen a lot of action recently in our country and the S60 is the most compelling offering that has been made here. Hands down, it’s the most alluring car to look at. I don’t want to start my script will all praises, but what do you do when you come across a product so good that you only admire the craftsmanship and the efforts to put everything in a nutshell. Ever since Volvo has come up with the new design philosophy, their cars are a product you would not just buy and drive but as well love to boast of on every parameter a car is judged on. Yes! The new S60 is a heart and head matter.

The S60 looks striking. The Thor’s hammer LED design in the headlamp, huge chrome grille with chrome surrounds, aggressive yet serious front fascia of the car coupled with plain and neat sweeping lines on the side profile and the big C shaped tail lamps along with the twin exhausts lend the car a very matured look. Everything on the outside seems extremely purposeful and well put together. Step inside the cabin and you are welcome by the most cosmopolitan interiors you have ever seen in this segment. It’s more of your personal workstation cabin that you carry your aura from after leaving the office and there is a homely feel to it.
