Volvo S60 and XC60 launched in India

Taking their philosophy of ‘designed around you’ a little further, Volvo India have launched two refreshed and facelifted versions of their best sellers in the Indian market, the all-new Volvo S60 and Volvo XC60. Although there are major changes in exterior design, technology and after market solutions, the new Volvo S60 and XC60 also come with much refreshed interiors. Common exterior changes that can be seen on both the new Volvo S60 and Volvo XC60 models include-new bonnet, premium wipers, LED daytime running lights, new grille, new aluminum wheels, new exhaust pipes and varied colors for Indian market.

Having said that, the interior changes for 2014 Volvo S60 and XC60 include TFT crystal display-with three choices - Performance, ECO and Elegance; gear shift paddles, a newly designed steering wheel and new gear shift design. There is also a lot more chrome on the interior and new and more comfortable sports seats. The most interesting upgrade includes the City Safety feature up to 50km/hr that prevents collisions by pre-charging the brakes and applying them incase the driver loses focus. As far as the engines are concerned, Volvo S60 and XC60 base variants come powered by a 1984cc engine and offer a claimed mileage of 18-19kmpl for the new Volvo S60 and 14-15kmpl for XC60. The two models will be available only in diesel 

The cars will be available across all Volvo dealerships in India and will replace the existing S60 and XC60 models. Prior to these, Volvo India had launched Volvo V40 Cross Country earlier this year and has plans to sell over 1,000 units in the next financial year, in which 70-80 percent of the share will be that from the new S60 and XC60.
