Volvo S60 - The Volvo S60 sedan represents the Swedish company in the segment of business sedans, where the German trio of BMW 3-series, Audi A4 and Mercedes-Benz C-class traditionally rule the ball. Against this background, the S60 offers a more relaxed design for both the exterior and interior, with typical Scandinavian laconicism and solid materials.
In addition, the elegant S60 differs from many competitors in the many security systems that are already present in the basic configuration. We can distinguish a tracking system for blind spots and road markings, a system for analyzing driver fatigue and preventing collisions with pedestrians. A whole range of devices, consisting of a radar and a video camera, helps the sedan to navigate in space, with the help of which the S60 "sees" a person and can independently brake in front of him, avoiding a collision. True, the system is still not sensitive enough and in difficult road and weather conditions you should not rely on it.
The current, already second generation of the S60 sedan was developed even before Volvo passed under the wing of the Chinese owners from Geely and appeared on the market in 2010 as a model of 2011. The sedan shares the P24 platform not only with the V50 station wagon, but also with the XC60 crossover, so there are and all-wheel drive versions, both with diesel and petrol engines up to 304 hp. The fastest versions of the Volvo S60 can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.1 seconds and reach 250 km/h.
At the Geneva Motor Show in 2013, an updated Volvo S60 was shown with a redesigned front end, a digital instrument panel and paddle shifters for versions with automatic transmission. In addition, there are new engines and the ability to order a sports suspension.
