The once thought never possible model Volvo S60 is booming into India. It fascinates with its chunky waist line, bigger headlamps, swell grill and wheels, a roofline resembling a coupe. The interiors mesmerizes with a finished dash board, a floating central console by being sporty and youthful in look. The engine has the specs of 4-pot 2.0 lit turbocharged petrol, 200 bhp and a 6-cylinder 3.0 petrol with a staggering 304 bhp. This counters BMW 335i as the engine options are typically sane- twin turbo diesel 2.4 lit D5 yielding 204 bhp and the other one 2.0 lit 4-cylinder diesel with 163bhp.
Volvo plans to include 4 more engines by this year end possibly with two 1.6 lit petrol and a still efficient version of the 2.0 lit petrol, an eco-friendly 1.6 lit diesel. The driver’s convenience is blessed with the pedestrian detection system, as the vehicle gets halt from the speed of 35km/h which means the prevention of any casualties. The driver convenience is still enhanced by a taut chassis and an advanced 4-wheel drive. All these facilitates safe drive and comfortable journey. Wait till January 2011 to avail these as Volvo would alarm its reach by then.
