    Volvo S60 Cross Country launched at Rs 38.9 lakh

    Volvo has launched the S60 Cross Country in India at Rs 38.9 lakh (ex-showroom, Mumbai).

    Essentially a ‘crossover sedan’, the S60 Cross Country was first unveiled at the Detroit Motor Show in 2015, and comes with an impressive ground clearance of 201mm.

    With the S60 Cross Country, Volvo aims to deliver the comfort of a sedan with the rugged appeal of an SUV. The four-door sedan is built to do some occasional off-roading as well, as apart from the raised height – up by 65mm over the standard S60 – the car comes with all-wheel drive as standard.

    The S60 Cross Country is powered by a detuned version of the 2.4-litre D5 five-cylinder diesel engine used in the standard S60. The motor, a  2.4-litre D4, develops 189bhp, 42.83kgm of torque and sends power to all the wheels through a six-speed automatic gearbox.

    Only available in one fully loaded trim, the vehicle shares  with many features with the standard top-spec S60. Equipment available includes electric front seats, satellite navigation, front and rear parking sensors, a rear-view camera, front, side and curtain airbags, a laser assisted autonomous braking from speeds upto 50kph, hill descent control and hill start assist as part of the company’s City Safety system and a tyre pressure monitoring system amongst others.

    Volvo is expected to launch a slew of new models in India this year. The carmaker is likely to introduce its Polestar performance division sometime during the year, with a performance version of the S60 sedan, in addition to mainstream models like the V40 and V40 Cross Country facelifts.
