After an agonisingly long wait, Volvo Cars has finally revealed details about the India-spec S60. The sedan, which made its world premiere in June 2018, will arrive in India in March 2021. As for the bookings, they will open officially on January 21, 2021.

To start with, Volvo Auto India will launch the S60 in one variant – the T4 Inscription. That means it will have a 2.0-litre, turbocharged petrol engine under the bonnet producing 187bhp/300Nm, while an 8-speed automatic transmission will transfer the oomph to the front wheels. In case you didn’t notice, that’s the same powertrain as the one found in the XC40 R-Design.

With the ‘T4’ tag addressed, let’s now focus on the ‘Inscription’ badge. It means Volvo will offer the S60 in a fully-loaded form. The list of features will include four-zone climate control with CleanZone technology, multiple drive modes (Eco, Comfort and Dynamic), a panoramic sunroof, wireless mobile charging and 18-inch alloy wheels. If all that is a bit dated for you, the S60 will also offer LED headlamps with Active Bending system, a 14-speaker 600-watt Harman Kardon sound system, adaptive cruise control, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 9.0-inch Sensus infotainment system.

Being a Volvo, the S60 will offer a wide range of safety gizmos too. The list includes City Safety with steering support and automatic braking, Lane Keeping Aid, Driver Alert Control, Pilot Assist and Speed Alert.

The Swedish brand highlights that the S60 has the longest wheelbase in the segment. That means in addition to bucket-loads of features, it will offer ample room to both living and non-living things. The S60 will have three interior leather upholstery theme options – Blonde, Maroon and Charcoal. For the exterior paint, the S60 will be available in five colours – Fusion Red, Onyx Black, Crystal White Pearl, Maple Brown and Denim Blue.

In India, the new Volvo S60 will rival the BMW 3 Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class and the Jaguar XE. Going by the trend, expect the Swedes to price the S60 competitively. And yes, don’t wait for a diesel variant because that will not happen.
