Volvo have added some extra luxury to their S60 and
V60 models, as part of their strategy to keep them competitive until their
replacements arrive.
Launched in the United Kingdom from £ 24,545 on the S60, and £ 25,745 on the V60, the Lux upgrade, which is
already available on the SE, R-Design, and Cross Country trims, now builds on
the Business Edition variants as well.
The Lux package brings 17-inch Rodinia alloy wheels,
leather upholstery, piano black trim, active information display, and a
reversing camera, for starters. These join the already generous equipment list
found on the Business Edition models, which pack LED DRLs, autonomous emergency
braking, dual-zone climate control, cruise control, DAB radio, Bluetooth, and
sat-nav.
Volvo continues to develop the new generation S60 as
well. Expected to debut next year, the new gen model will be based on the
company's SPA platform and will feature an S90-inspired design, and new technology,
in an attempt to put some pressure on the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Audi A4, and
BMW 3-Series.
