Refined 2007 Volvo S60 with Sportier Profile

The Volvo S60 is being further refined, with the sights firmly set on sharpening the sedan model’s already sporty profile.

“We’re making the S60 even sportier in every respect,” says Gerry Keaney, Senior Vice President, Marketing, Sales and Customer Service “We’ve both spiced up the design and fine-tuned the chassis to create a car with even greater driving appeal.”

The Volvo S60 was launched in autumn 2000 as a somewhat smaller sedan than the Volvo S80. The design brief was to create a car with the same basic lines and safety as the S80 model, but in a more compact body and with a sportier profile.

Design

Four-door sedan. The Volvo S60 has a sloping roof line, swept-back C-posts and short rear section - a combination of sedan and coupe design that gives the car its sporty appearance. In order to further emphasize the S60 model's sporty profile, the nose section has been extended, the haunches are more pronounced and the body has a ground-hugging stance.
