Sharing our deeds on the design then it retains the signature Thor hammer LED Daytime Running Light along with a chiselled front grille. It also gets an angular front bumper with neat fog light housing in it. Overall, the front looks sleeker now and looks ready to rival the competition.
At the rear, it draws inspiration from the elder sibling, S90 in terms of taillights design. The C-Shaped design looks good and to even out the approach, the rear bumper now projects a muscular design. It will come with 19-inch alloy wheels.
Under the hood, the new S60 will continue the 2.0-litre-inline turbocharged petrol engine which generates 310 bhp with a peak torque of 400 Nm. This is the T8 engine and we expect it to be offered with the T4 engine. The latter is the same found in the baby Volvo which is the XC40. This unit is 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol which makes 187 bhp at 5000 RPM with a peak torque of 300 Nm at 1300 RPM. This engine is mated to an 8-speed automatic gearbox.
