Volvo V60 estate revealed

Volvo has revealed the next-gen V60 estate. The price of the car will be revealed at a later date. It will be available for direct purchase as well as on a monthly flat-fee subscription basis called Care by Volvo.

On the outside, the car looks similar to its larger sibling - the V90. The most prominent changes are to the bumpers. The car gets a sloping roofline, sharp creases and 'Thor's hammer' headlights. At the rear, there are large LED tail lamps, and a revised bumper with twin chrome-tipped exhaust tips and a small spoiler.

The interiors feature an all-black or beige and black theme with chrome and driftwood inserts. The car also gets a vertically mounted infotainment system with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and 4G connectivity options and a panoramic sunroof.

The V60 is based on Volvo's Scalable Product Architecture (SPA) that underpins the XC60 as well as the 90-series cars. When it goes on sale, the V60 will be offered with a choice of two plug-in hybrid options and all-wheel drive with combined power outputs of 335 BHP and 385 BHP in T6 and T8 variants respectively. Apart from these, the V60 will also be offered with two petrol (T5 and T6) and two diesel (D3 and D4) engine options.

It has also been revealed that the car will be equipped with safety features such as autonomous braking, pilot assist up to 130 km/h, run-off road mitigation, oncoming lane mitigation and other steering assistance systems. An optional cross traffic alert with autobrake will also be available.
