New direction for Volvo, which neglects, for once, the classic volume break in favor of a more aesthetic design. The V60 plays its plastic leaves moves to V50 and V70.
A bold style for the brand
In the wake of the S60 sedan launched last June, Volvo declines its aesthetic bias on the wagon version named S60.
Arrived in spring 2007 the V70 was already beginning to take some liberties with the style "the sickle" Volvo of old. The "V" that characterizes the tailgate of V60 shows. In the same vein, the flag flying and the tapered side windows at the tailgate give the nerve to self.
Pleasant driving
Dynamism not only style but also in terms of road as the V60 will offer an unusual sport chassis, which will be supplied as standard, while a second frame rather typed for his comfort will be available. An active suspension "Four-C Chassis" is available regardless of the selected frame.
The V60 will be available in five petrol engines: 1.6 GTDi 150 hp (T3) and 180 hp (T4), 2.0 GTDi of 203 and 240 HP (T5) and a six-cylinder 3.0 (T6) to 304 hp.
For diesel, which should be the most sales of V60 in the hexagon, it will be a 1.6D DRIVe 115 hp, a 2.0 163 PS (D3) and a five-cylinder 2.4 of 205 HP (D5).
Two
Ideally placed between the V50 along 4.52 m for 417 liters of trunk, and V70 (respectively 4.82 and 555 liters), the V60, a format identical to that of the S60 sedan (4.63 m), swallow up to 430 liters of luggage.
The modularity is based on a bench in a format 40/20/40 divisible, which frees by folding a flat floor.
In short, enough to make the scope of an Audi A4 Avant more generous in terms of cargo (490 liters), but more impressive in return for city (4.70 m).
Security said
True to its reputation safe, Volvo has not forgotten to give the V60 the latest technology. In addition to a traction control during cornering (CTC), which inhibits the inner wheel which reduces the tendency to understeer, pedestrian detection with automatic braking intervenes to 35 km / h.
With this necessary evolution of style and road manners of the new Volvo enthusiasts will recognize the brand does it again in the V60?
