Volvo takes on German rivals — and Japanese — with slick S60

AutoExec Summary
Volvo has experienced significant growth since being acquired by Geely in 2010, with a 20% increase in sales in Australia this year. The arrival of the new S60 sedan and V60 wagon is expected to contribute to this growth. The S60 sedan starts at $54,990 and features an eight-speed automatic transmission, while the top-of-the-line T8 hybrid is priced at $85,990 plus on-roads. The T5 R-Design with power and suspension upgrades is priced at $64,990. Volvo CEO Nick Connor believes the S60 will appeal to potential buyers from rival European brands, as well as Subaru and VW. The S60’s performance and features make it a strong competitor in its class.
