Volvo cars may have had a recent bumpy path but the design of their new S60 should ensure some future stability.
The original S60 concept car was revealed at the 2009 Detroit Motor Show but not all of it’s features there are expected to be carried forward to production.
It is hoped this new Volvo will be a worthy competitor to the BMW3, AudiA4 and Merc C class, so Volvo are setting themselves a very high standard to aim at.
As is the trend these days Volvo will be aiming at economical performance matched with low emissions which they hope will be attained using a new turbo-charged 1.6 engine producing 180bhp and emitting a low 120g/km. Of carbon gas emissions.
The first live appearance of the car is due at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2010 with UK car sales promised for that September.
