A new teaser of the Volvo S60 has been released
prior to the vehicle’s global premiere on June 20. This latest clip shows the
car painted in a seductive shade of red. While it doesn’t reveal any design
details we didn’t already know about the new car, it’s sure to get you excited
for what the Swedish marque has up its sleeve.
Visually, the S60 looks strikingly similar to the
S90 and features Thor’s hammer LED headlights, an aggressive grille (painted
gloss black on this example) and angular fog light surrounds. The previous
teaser also provided a glimpse of the car’s large sunroof and sharkfin antenna.
Volvo will sell the S60 in a
plethora of specifications, the most powerful and expensive of which will be
dubbed the ‘Polestar Engineered’. This variant will use the firm’s T8 Twin
Engine paired to an electric motor for a total of 409 hp and 494 lb-ft of
torque.
The flexibility of the Scalable Product Architecture
(SPA) platform on which the S60 is based will allow Volvo to also fit a
2.0-liter turbodiesel four-cylinder in 147 hp and 187 hp guises. Elsewhere,
they’ll be an entry-level T5 petrol engine and a 2.0-liter T6 petrol with 305
hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. Two other plug-in hybrids that should slot below
the Polestar Engineered model are also on the cards.
Volvo has announced that it will build the S60 at
its factory in Ridgeville, South Carolina.
