Sculpted to move you - first pictures of the all-new Volvo S60

 

Volvo Car Corporation today revealed the first official pictures of the all-new Volvo S60 - sportier and more dynamic than any previous Volvo model.

 

"The all-new Volvo S60 is sculpted to move you. It looks and drives like no other Volvo before and the car's technology will help you to be safer and more confident behind the wheel," says Stephen Odell, President and CEO of Volvo Cars.

 

The Volvo S60 can be equipped with Pedestrian Detection - a groundbreaking safety technology that can detect pedestrians in front of the car and brake automatically if the driver does not react in time.

 

The all-new Volvo S60 is being unveiled to the public for the first time at the Geneva Motor Show in early March next year. Production of the sporty sedan model will start in early summer 2010 at the Volvo Cars plant in Ghent, Belgium.  Availability, pricing and additional specifications for the S60 in Canada will become available closer to the vehicle's launch in the second half of 2010.

 

"Customers in this segment want emotional appeal, sporty design and dynamic driving properties," says Odell. "The S60 has it all. We are convinced that it will be one of the strongest contenders around."
