Volvo has released a few more teaser images of its new S60 sedan ahead of its unveiling later tonight. One image shows the car draped in cloth and perched on top of a Scandinavian living room setup at what is likely Volvo’s new US plant in Ridgeville, South Carolina, where the reveal will take place. That plant, by the way, will be the sole production facility for the S60, making this the first Volvo to be built in the US for export.
Clear to see underneath the fabric are the fast rear windscreen rake and short tail that give the car a sporty profile, along with Volvo’s trademark C-shaped tail lights. The company also showed a couple of other images that confirms that the front fascia will be mostly identical to its V60 wagon sibling, save for remodelled air intakes and grille pattern on what is likely the R-Design variant.
Riding on the Scalable Product Architecture (SPA) also used by the V60, XC60 and 90 Series models, the S60 is expected to come with all the latest infotainment and safety technologies from Gothenburg. These include the new feature for the autonomous emergency braking system to mitigate the severity of a collision with oncoming vehicles, as debuted on the V60.
Also to be expected is the ubiquitous 2.0 litre Drive-E petrol engine, available on the V60 as a standalone supercharged and turbocharged unit in the 310 hp/400 Nm T6 AWD, as well as in two plug-in hybrid flavours – the turbocharged 340 hp/590 Nm T6 Twin Engine and the twincharged 400 hp/640 Nm T8 Twin Engine. Volvo has confirmed that the S60 won’t be available with a diesel engine.
The company also revealed that there will be a Polestar Engineered version of the T8 Twin Engine that will push outputs to 415 hp and 670 Nm of torque. It will be further distinguished by retuned suspension with Öhlins adjustable dampers and a front strut brace, slotted brake discs clamped by gold Brembo mono-block callipers, as well as a unique lightweight alloy wheel design.

Volvo Lotus > all
Volvo = Geely. Please price below RM110k to get into sushi market
Volvo is not a working class car anymore. Sushi cars still belong to working class thats why they can use cheap/less steel to build the cars.
this is going to be one good looking muscular swede.
Whats the point of teasing when the outlook 90% similar to s90
Stop guessing never see never know .
Only Geely fans excited for this, no one else cares
U care enuff to comment. Lolz!
Everyone around the globe. Is excited of this including many international car reviewers except you can sleep and eat your unfavourable nasi lemak in not disturbing the rest
Well, a party pooper like you cares to comment…
Just launch the bloody thing!
Its not a Ferrari for heavens sake!
These kind of cars are suitable for Scandinavian countries, not here where it suffers low resale values, high spare part prices etc.
With so much hype, make sure this S60 with Polestar Engineered version can give mighty M3/4 or C63 AMG a run for their $$$ otherwise the Germans will laugh at U.
You can’t help but looking forward to the inevitable executive sedan shootout featuring ze Germans , Volvo, Alfa & Jaguar. Next year of course.
Take my money !!
At the time you really want to buy a car, you will choose accord or camry against this
