Volvo S60

Volvo enters the revered performance luxury sedan arena with the all-new S60 Polestar. What's it got?

Crackles and pops on overrun, 0-100kmph in 4.7 seconds, 367PS are not quite Volvo territory, eh? Volvos are more like a dozen airbags, pedestrian alerts, radar safety, city braking, anti-collision and the like, no? So Polestar is that shot of adrenaline to Volvo’s otherwise docile S60 sedan that has transformed it into a different beast altogether. Polestar? No I am not discussing stars or astronomy here. I’m referring to the car that is now the star of Volvo’s line-up and is its quickest production car ever, the S60 Polestar. Wait, what? You haven't heard about Polestar? Okay. Let me break it up. Volvo hasn’t exactly been screaming from rooftops about having a performance division, but it does have one named Polestar. Just like its German rivals have RS, M and AMG. Polestar started off as an individual tuning house in Sweden 20 years ago, building race cars for Volvo. Then they built the S60 Polestar in 2014, before Volvo bought them over in 2015. And the latest generation S60 Polestar has been launched in the country for an introductory price of Rs 52.5 lakh ex-showroom New Delhi. That’s more than 12 lakh rupees over the most...read more »

Volvo recently launched its sporty sedan cum crossover, the S60 Cross Country in India so a comparo was inevitable and what better comparison than its polar opposite, the BMW 320d M sport

Volvo's hottest car in India is now supercharged and turbocharged, comes with a new gearbox, and munches miles rather quickly. But is it fun and is it for the enthusiast?

The mad cousin of the Volvo S60 is here and it gets more power, attitude and the racing heritage of Polestar

When you hear the word 'Volvo,' the last thing that comes to your mind is excitement. But, Volvo has changed that perspective in India by launching the S60 Polestar for Rs 52.5 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). The Polestar is to Volvo what AMG is to Mercedes or 'M' is to BMW. In this case, the Polestar division took the ordinary and elegant Volvo S60 T6 and made it a mad performance car. This is the first ever Volvo Polestar in the country and the first launch from Volvo this year. A total of 30 S60 Polestar models have been allotted to India from a total of 1500 cars, which includes the V60 Polestar as well. What can a Volvo performance sedan do, you ask? Well, let's start from the heart of the matter. The S60 Polestar is powered by a turbocharged and supercharged 2.0-litre petrol engine which produces 367PS of power and a massive 467Nm of torque. These figures are 61PS and 67Nm more than the standard T6. Another major change is that the Polestar S60 gets an all-wheel drive system mated to an 8-speed auto gearbox with paddle shifters, whereas the S60 is a front-wheel drive sedan. The result, a 1.2-seconds faster 0-100kmph time of 4.7 seconds and an electronically... read more »
