沃尔沃最近发布了新一代V60旅行车，而车厂还证实计划推出下一代S60轿车，而该车也是继XC90和S90和新一代V60之后沃尔沃又一款进行全面改款的车型。沃尔沃高级副总裁LexKerssemakers在一次路演接受采访时证实将很快发布新一代S60，该车将在美国南卡罗来纳州首次亮相，之所以选择这里是因为沃尔沃在美国的生产厂就位于该州Berkeley县。预计S60很多设计元素都与V60相同，同时两款车的很多部件，包括动力总成，也将共享。新一代V60可提供两种插电混动系统，其中T6TwinEngineAWD功率253千瓦/340马力，而T8TwinEngineAWD功率290千瓦/390马力，扭矩639牛米。预计新一代S60将于今夏发布，而新一代V60也将在日内瓦车展与公众见面。

 

New Volvo S60 Confirmed For Summer Reveal

Fresh off the debut of the new Volvo V60 wagon, the Swedish carmaker has already confirmed plans for its next product. The S60 sedan will be the latest Volvo to go under the knife, being one of the few vehicles in the range that hasn’t yet received the same dramatic transformation found on offerings like the XC90, S90, and new V60, among others.

 

Lex Kerssemakers, a Volvo senior vice president, confirmed in an interview with Roadshow that the new S60 will be coming soon. Interestingly enough, the sedan will be shown for the first time in South Carolina, as opposed to the V60’s debut in Volvo’s home country of Sweden. While South Carolina may seem like a strange location for a debut, it makes sense – Volvo's new American manufacturing facility is located in Berkeley County.

 

Design-wise, expect many of the same cues found on the V60 wagon to carry over. Apart from staying, the two vehicles are also expected to share a number of new components mechanically, including powertrains. The new V60 comes with two plug-in hybrid powertrain options, including a T6 Twin Engine AWD setup that generates 340 horsepower (253 kilowatts), and a T8 Twin Engine AWD setup that delivers 390 hp (290 kW) and 472 pound-feet (639 Newton-meters) of torque.

 

Expect to see the new and improved Volvo S60 this summer. The V60, meanwhile, will be shown in just a few weeks at the Geneva Motor Show.
