Volvo launches S60 in India by March 2010

The Swedish company, Volvo Cars latest S60 saloon will be the cheapest car on offer in India by far. The Volvo S60 is perhaps the boldest design in a long while.

The cost for the S60 is expected to begin at below Rs 30 lakh, however it will most likely be for the four-cylinder models that will be launched later. Performance from this car is pretty good - the standing start to 100 kph coming up in just 7.8 seconds with a top speed of 230 kph. S60 engine model is anticipated to be the largest selling for the time being.

The additional engine model on offer will be the T6 twin-turbo petrol with a stonking 304 bhp@5600 rpm and a fruity 44.6 kgm from just 2100 rpm. Being the only turbo petrol six-cylinder offering in its segment, anticipated the T6 to disappear the fight in its wake. Standing start numbers of 6.5 seconds to 100 kph and a top speed of 250 kph should make its job easy of keeping cars like the BMW 330i and the A4 3.2 V6 in its sights. Both engine models of Volvo Cars can be expected to be offered with all-wheel drive as well as a six-speed automatic gearbox as standard.
