Volvo S60 delisted from India lineup: Details here
- The Volvo S60 luxury sedan's discontinuation in India could be a part of the automaker's global product portfolio reshuffling strategy.
Volvo Cars India seems to have silently discontinued the S60 sedan from its product lineup. The automaker has delisted the luxury sedan from the Indian website, fueling speculation of its discontinuation. Interestingly, the Swedish luxury car brand updated its entire lineup a few months back with mild-hybrid powertrains and an extended feature list. However, the carmaker excluded the entry-level Volvo S60 from the lot. The last time Volvo S60 received an update in India was in January 2021. Now, when the automaker has silently revised its product lineup on the website, there was no official communication from it.

In recent times, the car brand has temporarily removed the S60 from sale in the UK as well. However, it is not yet confirmed if the S60 has been axed in India temporarily or not.
