With the launch of the new Volvo S60, a wagon version of the Swedish mid-sized exec was bound to happen, and here is it caught in action without much disguise except for blacked out emblems. This “V60” looks very nice, and differs from previous Volvo estates in that it has a sharp rising shoulder line, which translates to a narrow glasshouse. In fact, the angle of the shoulder line looks even more acute than the S60 saloon’s; not sure then if this car will have an airy cabin.
The wagon’s front end is lifted directly from the saloon, which has a jutted out nose flanked by scuplted “boomerang” style shapes below the headlamps. The rear design meanwhile, looks like a flatter version of the XC60’s and comes with the SUV’s distinctive taillamp cluster with a curved LED bar inside.
Engine options should mirror the saloon’s, which includes a twin-scroll turbo 3.0-litre inline-six with 300 bhp and 440 Nm for the T6 and the new properly downsized 2.0-litre GDTi engine, which is good for 203 bhp and 300 Nm of torque from 1,750 to 4,000 rpm.

i thought this is fantastic
gone were the days when volvos are boxy and unimaginable. of course boxy means they are built hard and last very long.
but this v60 really caught my eye. i've never been a fan of wagon before, but this certainly change it now. damn it i want one
The front looks ugly … Looks like the design team was sleeping
Nice, very good appearance for the whole car, especially the front

no doubt v50 is a wagon but is a sportwagon with compact body….

I heard Edaran Tan Chong distributing Volvo's as well?
Nice. Departure from the uncle (so to speak) look. Certainly looks bigger in dimension to existing similiar models, which is a plus. Pricing?
Front End portion looks like an alien
