Volvo has confirmed that the much-awaited S-60 will be its first product offering in 2021. Bookings for the sedan will start from January 21 while deliveries begin March 21 onwards. The third-generation S60 stays true to the promise of being a Volvo by bringing about a long list of safety highlights. The list of connected features though are also extensive and include an air purification system and wireless phone charging. There will be a solitary 2.0-litre petrol engine which produces 187 bhp of power and has 300 Nm of torque. The S60 claims to have the longest wheelbase in its segment and will compete against C-Class from Mercedes and BMW 3 Series once launched.

The new <a href="https://auto.hindustantimes.com/topic/volvo" target="_blank">Volvo </a>S60 has been a long time coming. Doing the rounds in several global markets, it was scheduled to touch down on Indian shores this year but a plethora of factors in a list dominated by Covid-19 related factors pushed the launch over to 2021. The good news though is that Volvo Cars India is ready, is raring and is resolute to put up the S60 against its traditional German rivals with renewed vigour.

The S60 has never been the flashiest of sedans, or the sportiest to drive. It has had a mile-long list of safety features but new-age customers are as attuned to features and drive characteristics as they are in need of a safer car. It is in these regards that the first Volvo for India in the new year seeks to play a balancing act - building on its strengths with the added intent to thrill.

(Also see | More pictures of 2021 Volvo S60 sedan)

What does the new S60 2021 bring forth and does it have the arsenal to silence the raging charge of the Germans?

Like it in the looks

The new S60 is a major departure in the looks department when compared to the preceding model. In fact, it won't be a stretch to say it outright that this here is the nicest, sportiest looking S60 ever from the Volvo stable in a long, long time. It does help that it bears resemblance to elder brother S90.

Its intentions of being a head-turner - something not many Volvo offerings can claim with bravado - is clear from its low-slung profile with a stretched out wheelbase and those really captivating 10 multi-spoke black diamond cut alloys. Is there more space thanks to the enhanced wheelbase? Sure. But what it does additionally is lend the S60 a more sporty visual aesthetic.

The front profile is marked by the typical Volvo inscription grille with the trademark diagonal badge while the Thor hammer LED head lights with auto-bending feature sit smart on either side. The fog lights are enclosed in a C-shaped casing and just above it is the high-pressure cleaning system which sprays water on the headlights, just in case this Volvo decides to get itself dirty.

The bonnet is wide and sports prominent character lines while the rear too has been re-designed and now gets C-shaped tail lights and a more pronounced back. The shark-fin antennae sits on top while the T4 and Volvo badge are on either side here.

Step into Scandinavia

The cabin of the S60 is where this car continues to hold the most potential. And the most promise. The cabin is typically minimalistic yet premium, typically clean yet loaded. Basically, it is typically Volvo.

There are three cabin colours to choose from. And while the blond and maroon brown may look really upmarket, it is the charcoal shade of this review unit that is likely to be the easiest to maintain in Indian conditions. Add to it the premium touch and feel and the S60 stamps and underlines its luxury credentials.

Soft-touch plastics are omnipresent with a nicely spread out dash. A hint of chrome on the door handles and driftwood inlays on the front and center panel - there is also a linear lime inlay option - whisper Scandinavian aesthetics.

The nine-inch vertical infotainment system is a familiar sight for Volvo owners even if it may take getting used to for new customers. Being large, vivid, easy to reach and responsive, however, helps its cause.

Space is no constraint inside the sedan with ample room for four passengers to sprawl out, even during long journeys. The rear seats, in particular, offer generous amounts of knee-room, under-thigh support and head room while the cushioning and back recline angle is just right to ensure a plush seating experience. Shoulder room is also impressive but forget about putting even a child in the middle here thanks to the tall bump and the center console with its nicely designed vents, touch controls and 12v charging unit jutting back.

Instead, just roll down the armrest, open the cup holders, rest your phone and pack in documents, and enjoy the view. On that note, I do feel the window line for the rear passenger is rather compromised and sits too high. Thank god for the one-touch sunroof though.

The front seats also come with lumber support adjustments, memory function and the under-thigh support can be extended. Unfortunately, there is no seat massage functionality and no seat ventilation system either.

In terms of equipment list too, the new S60 is right up there with four-zone climate control, Clean Zone air purifier tech, wireless phone charging and a 14-speaker Harman Kardon system which, while not in the same league as Bang &amp; Olufsen, is quite premium in its own right.

In terms of storage space though, the S60 fails to impress. Sure there's a glove box, storage under the armrest and other usual spaces but either these are adequate at best or minimal at worst. Even the bottle holders on each of the four doors are good only for the slender sanitizing sprays we carried along while the 750 ml water bottles were left to rattle under the seats.

Kom sa gar vi

The S60's biggest surprise lies in how it handles when on the move. 'Come on, let's go' or Kom sa gar vi in Swedish is what this erstwhile gentle giant begs of you. But is it in the same league as the excitable Jaguar XE or the BMW 3 Series? If you expect it to be, that would be solely your fault.

The S60 drives a whole lot better - to-be-read-as sportier - than the preceding model and even if it is still not in the same league as most of its direct rivals, its four-cylinder petrol engine punches out 190 hp and has 300 Nm of torque for a spirited intent. If it wasn't for a rather circumspect eight-speed automatic gearbox hunting for the right number when the car is being pushed, this machine would have been closer to perfection for those seeking a more engaging experience behind the wheel. But while the gearbox is nicely tuned for cruising and gentle rumblings, it does take a fraction longer to notch up the right high number for the car to propel effortlessly. A grunt of a slight resistance from the engine tells you that this S60 will push forward but only because it is being commanded to, not because it likes to.

Of course, the top speed is limited to 180 kmph as per Volvo's new safety protocol around the world and I, for one, support the move wholeheartedly despite the controversy it has created.

The other notable highlight of the new S60 on the move is a suspension that is on the harder side which translates to a bit of vibration over major road bumps while the steering is planted but muted for much to be written about it. The Volvo responds to turns quick, maintains line but still offers little when it comes to being playful. Respect it and it respects you right back.

The all-new Volvo S60 is a solid step up from the preceding model. What works for it is a really nice visual update and a drive that is definitely more excitable than ever before. Pair it with the plethora of safety features on offer - adaptive cruise control, lane keeping aid, pilot assist, driver alert control, oncoming mitigation by braking, speed alert, city safety with steering support and hill start assist.

It remains firmly oriented for the discerning buyer looking at an all-rounder rather than an option which excessively excels in one department or the other - tech, drive, comfort or something similar.

Available only in the T4 Inscription trim, bookings for the car will start from January with the official launch scheduled for March. Also, there will be five color options to choose from - Crystal White Pearl, Denim Blue, Fusion Red, Maple Brown, and Onyx Black.

Expect the pricing to be between ₹42 lakh and ₹45 lakh (ex showroom).

All said, done and driven, Volvo has a winner on its hands with the new S60 but the real question is - does the S60 have a winner in Volvo to back it up with?

This is the second-generation Volvo XC60 which has arrived on the Indian shores. It is based on Volvo's latest Scalable Product Architecture (SPA) platform. It rivals the likes of other mid-sized SUVs such as Audi Q5, BMW X3, Mercedes-Benz GLC, and Jaguar F-Pace.

Volvo's XC60 SUV, its bestselling model since 2017, is set to receive cosmetic and feature updates in its upcoming facelift.

Volvo XC60 facelift gearing up for India launch on August 1. Everything to expect

Volvo will launch the updated XC60 luxury SUV in India on August 1, 2025, featuring cosmetic and technological enhancements.

Volvo XC60 facelift India launch confirmed on August 1

The Volvo XC60 has become the automaker's all-time best-selling car, surpassing the iconic Volvo 240 in sales.

Volvo XC60 becomes brand’s bestselling car of all time, over 2.7 million units sold

In a field filled with German SUVs, <a target="_blank" href="https://auto.hindustantimes.com/new-cars/volvo">Volvo</a> SUVs have had an elite aura around them. Sure, the volumes aren't anywhere close to what Mercedes or BMW or even <a target="_blank" href="https://auto.hindustantimes.com/new-cars/audi">Audi</a> can boast of but one thing that Volvo can boast of is sheer elegance, elegance in terms of design, cabin and even drive traits. And these are factors that the 2021 XC60 seeks to build on, while also offering a better loaded cabin, to woo buyers.

The Volvo <a target="_blank" href="https://auto.hindustantimes.com/new-cars/volvo/xc60">XC60</a> has always had to compete against some very capable heavyweights in the Indian car market. The Mercedes GLC and the <a target="_blank" href="https://auto.hindustantimes.com/new-cars/bmw">BMW</a> <a target="_blank" href="https://auto.hindustantimes.com/new-cars/bmw/x3">X3</a>, for instance, are worthy rivals. And Audi has brought back the Q5 in petrol form to further intensify the competition. Yet, Volvo continues to play the game by banking on its own set of strengths rather than playing for the crowds. Let's face it, the XC60 isn't going to leave you spellbound with its captivating looks, isn't going to overpower emotions through its cabin layout or take adrenaline levels to new highs courtesy its drive. No, not even the latest XC60. But what this Volvo, much like most Volvos, does is bring about a pleasing calm, one that now gets mild hybrid technology too. Yes it is elegant on the outside. Yes it is pleasing within and yes, there is a slight bit more eagerness in the way the XC60 moves for a package that is as mature as ever.

<h2>Volvo XC60 exterior highlights:&nbsp;</h2>The latest XC60 is clearly a Volvo. And that's great. The 'Thor' LED head light units, the svelte LED tail light design, the smooth flowing body and character lines - all gently yell that this here is still a true-blue Scandinavian sensation. But look closely and the subtle updates appear as clear as the Swedish sun on a bright summer day.

The front grille on the SUV has been reworked to make it slightly bolder than before, complete with more prominent chrome outlines. There is also chrome elements that have been added to the reworked front bumper. The Volvo logo on the face houses a number of cams and sensors for safety purposes.

The Volvo S90 is a luxurious sedan that combines Scandinavian design with cutting-edge technology. Its spacious interior offers premium materials and advanced features, ensuring a comfortable ride. With a powerful yet efficient engine lineup, the S90 delivers smooth performance and excellent handling. Safety is paramount, with state-of-the-art systems that enhance driver and passenger protection.

Volvo may not be as aggressive as some of its German rivals when it comes to rolling out a plethora of car models but when it comes to electric vehicles (EVs), there is a firm plan in place. Did you know that every new Volvo model from now will also have an electric motor? Or that the company plans to put out one million electrified cars on the road by 2025? Or that it aims to be an all-electric brand by 2030? Forming a core part of such ambitions is the C40 Recharge, Volvo's first-ever Born-Electric model.

The significance of the Volvo C40 Recharge can be gauged from a singular fact that there is no petrol/diesel alternative of it. So while the XC40 Recharge is based on the XC40 SUV, the C40 Recharge has to chart its own course, create its own mark and potentially craft a legacy all on its own. And soon after the launch of the XC40 Recharge in India, the C40 Recharge is warming up for its debut in the country as well. The field is lit up with all-electric options galore and the task to challenge some very formidable rivals won't be easy. But easy may not be what Volvo is gunning for anyway.

Volvo EX30 reaches Indian shores. Key facts to know

After making a big impression in the global market, <a target="_blank" href="https://auto.hindustantimes.com/new-cars/volvo">Volvo</a>’s smallest electric SUV has arrived in India. The EX30 takes the brand’s signature Scandinavian design and shrinks it into a city-friendly, all-electric package aimed squarely at younger buyers and first-time EV owners. It’s Volvo’s bid to shake up the compact EV segment — but beneath the stylish exterior, there’s a lot to unpack.

<h2>How’s the design of the <a target="_blank" href="https://auto.hindustantimes.com/new-cars/volvo/ex30">Volvo EX30</a>?</h2>The Volvo EX30 carries forward the brand’s signature Scandinavian minimalism, scaled down to a compact, city-friendly footprint. At the front, the closed-off grille and signature Thor’s Hammer LED headlights give it a clean yet instantly recognisable face, while the sculpted bonnet and smooth body lines create a sense of understated sophistication.

The high beltline and squared-off roof add a touch of SUV toughness but there is no plastic cladding on the sides. At the rear, vertically oriented LED tail lamps echo Volvo’s larger SUVs, tying the <a href="https://auto.hindustantimes.com/new-cars/volvo/ex30" target="_blank">EX30</a> into the family design language. However, this time, they are split. Compact in size but confident in stance, the EX30 looks every bit the modern premium EV. It does manage to grab attention when it is out on the roads.

Step inside and the EX30 reflects Volvo’s growing focus on sustainability and simplicity. The cabin uses recycled and renewable materials, from denim fibres to flax and wool blends, while the uncluttered dashboard centres on a large vertical touchscreen running Google-powered Android Automotive. This minimalist approach looks fresh and modern, but the lack of physical buttons means even basic functions like mirror adjustments require a trip through the menus, which may divide opinion.

Space in the front is generous, but the rear bench is tight for taller passengers, and there is also a lack of under thigh support. This reinforces its role as a city-friendly SUV rather than a long-distance family hauler. It can only accommodate four occupants at once. Cargo capacity is modest at 318 litres, expandable to 904 litres with the seats folded, <a href="https://auto.hindustantimes.com/new-bikes/sokudo/plus" target="_blank">plus</a> a small frunk of 7 litres where you can store the portable charger.

The quality overall is quite good, with metal door handles that feel satisfying to use and have a weight to them. The steering wheel is squircle, to which I adapted quite quickly; I was not expecting that. The centre console is cleverly designed with integrated twin cup holders. There is also a space below it where you can place your mobile phones or other bits.

The window switches are placed in the centre, which is an unusual place, but what is even more unusual is that to operate the rear windows, you have to use a button, as the typical switches are not present. There are no rear AC vents on offer, but that should not be an issue as we were driving in temperatures of just around 40 degrees, and the AC was keeping up easily. However, ventilated seats would have been a good addition considering the climate of our country.

<h2>Driving Experience</h2>In India, we will get only the single-motor rear-wheel drive version. The motor is capable of producing 272 bhp of power and a peak torque output of 343 Nm. Volvo claims that the EX30 can accelerate from a standstill to 100 kmph in 5.3 seconds.

As soon as you get in the driver’s seat, all your issues will be gone because of the way the EX30 drives. The performance is <a href="https://auto.hindustantimes.com/new-bikes/amomobility/brisk" target="_blank">brisk</a>, and it accelerates hard as there is no engine that requires spooling up. You press the throttle, and the EX30 just shoots. In fact, because it is rear-wheel drive, the rear wheels just break traction and start spinning, but not for long, as the ESC <a href="https://auto.hindustantimes.com/new-cars/nissan/kicks" target="_blank">kicks</a> in and straightens out the tail.

Even at triple digit speeds, the compact EV feels confident, composed, and there is minimal body roll. Show it a corner and it would stick to the line. However, we did notice that the brakes would start fading away and would require a bit more pressure. To improve this, you can turn on one-pedal drive, which enables the regen. Speaking of regen, it kicks in gradually, and the car would also come to a halt automatically.

The highlight of the driving experience is without a doubt the suspension of the EX30. It absorbs everything by which I do mean everything. We were mostly driving on the highways with big potholes, and not once did the EX30 flinch. It handled those potholes like a champ with only minimal thud traveling back to the cabin.

<h2>Range and battery</h2>Volvo is using a 69 kWh battery pack for the EX30. It has a WLTP-claimed range of 480 km, and in real life, it should be able to deliver around 400 km.

<h2>Safety and Technology</h2>Safety remains a Volvo hallmark, with a full suite of driver-assistance systems fitted as standard, including adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, and collision avoidance. Semi-autonomous driving via Pilot Assist and an advanced self-parking function further boost convenience.

The infotainment system integrates Google apps, wireless Apple CarPlay, and over-the-air updates, although the absence of Android Auto is missed. However, we didn’t notice any software glitches. Another thing that is sorely missed is the absence of a driver’s display. This means that the driver needs to continuously look over to the infotainment system to even just check out the basic things. The least that Volvo should have done is offer a heads-up display for the driver. The brand is offering a Harmon Kardon sound system that consists of 9 speakers, and it consists of a sound bar that is placed on the dashboard and a sub-woofer that sits in the boot. The sound quality is good, but there are vehicles out there that cost less and have a better sound quality.

The EX30 comes with an NFC keycard, which is a bit messy to use. Yes, it does add to the convenience in the form that it is slim and can be carried in a wallet, but it hampers with the keyless operation. You would first need to place on the B-pillar to unlock the car and then on the wireless charger to start the car. And it does not work every time, you have to keep doing it so if you are charging your phone, then you would have to remove it. In a day and age, where the key never leaves your pocked and you can just sit, drive away, and exit the vehicle, the NFC key card does feel like a bit of a hit and a miss.

<h2>Verdict</h2>Overall, the Volvo EX30 stands out as a stylish, sustainable, and surprisingly quick small crossover SUV that offers serious value in the premium EV space. It isn’t perfect — rear passenger space is limited, and the heavy reliance on the touchscreen can be distracting — but it captures the essence of what many buyers want in their first electric car: clean design, strong performance, everyday usability, and the reassurance of Volvo’s safety credentials, along with heavy reliance on sustainable materials . In a soon-to-be crowded electric market, the EX30 proves that small can indeed be mighty.
