Volvo S60 has been designated as a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety for its good performance for front, side, rollover, and rear crash protection, plus standard electronic stability control (ESC).
The S60 gets a “good” rating in the side impact test, and also earns a “good” rating in the roof strength test.
The roof of the S60 withstood a force equal to 4.95 times the car’s weight. By comparison, the current Federal standard is 1.5 times weight. Institute research demonstrates that occupants of vehicles with strong roofs are much less likely to sustain serious injuries in rollover crashes.
In addition to good crash test ratings, winners must have ESC, an important crash-avoidance feature, which is standard on the S60.
The Volvo S60 comes with a two-year or 60,000km warranty. There are two variants, Petrol and Diesel, prices start From Rs 27 lakh for the base diesel while the top of the line T6 petrol retails at Rs 34 lakh (prices ex-showroom Delhi).
