Volvo S60 Cross Country launched at Rs 38.9 lakh


Volvo Cars has launched the S60 Cross Country, a mid-sized luxury sedan, in India, further expanding the Swedish car maker's product range in the country. The new offering has been launched with a sticker price of Rs 38.9 lakh (ex-showroom, Mumbai). The S60 Cross Country was first unveiled by the company at the 2015 Detroit Motor Show.
The Volvo S60 Cross Country will target the booming crossover segment in the country. Under the hood, the S60 Cross Country is powered by a 2.4-litre 5-pot turbo diesel engine which pumps out 192PS of max power and 420N of peak torque. The same D5 engine, which does duty in the standard version, has been de-tuned for the S60 Cross Country. The engine is mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission and is equipped with an all-wheel drive configuration.
The Volvo S60 Cross Country looks identical to its front-wheel drive sedan variant. The main noticeable difference is in the profile of the crossover which is now 65mm higher above the ground against the S60. At the rear, the addition of AWD badge on the tailgate and 'Cross Country' lettering on the bottom scuff plate highlights the Volvo model.
Volvo has launched only one variant of the S60 Cross Country, called the 'Inscription'. The new offering from Volvo currently does not have any direct competition in the Indian market yet.
