“In such a competitive market you need to stand out from the crowd.” “We are confident that with their very distinctive look and competitive pricing the S60 and the V60 will make an immediate impact with buyers who are looking for something very different from the staid models in the luxury segment today.”

“S60 and V60 are the perfect cars for the Australian lifestyle and both perfectly complement our already award-winning SUV line-up.

“With the addition of these two vehicles our entire model line is now new and fresh.”

Both the S60 and V60 are built on Volvo’s Scalable Product Architecture which is also underneath the XC60 and XC90. At launch the S60 and V60 will be available with a choice of two petrol-powered engines. The T5 and the T8 Twin Engine Plug-In Hybrid, the former delivers 187 kW and 350Nm of torque while the latter offers 311kW and 680Nm.

The Volvo S60 and V60 will be available in three variants – Momentum, Inscription and the sporty and dynamic R-Design (pictured).

As you would imagine, safety and driver assistance features are abundant on the S60 and V60 and include Volvo’s semi-autonomous Pilot Assist system, the latest generation of City Safety, Run-off Road protection and mitigation, Cross Traffic Alert with auto brake and the 360-degree camera.
