    Volvo S60 Polestar launched at Rs 52.5 lakh

    Volvo has introduced  its performance arm, Polestar, in India with the launch of the S60 Polestar sedan. Priced at Rs 52.5 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), the S60 Polestar gets some model-specific changes to go with its high-performance image.

    Changes over the standard S60 include a new body kit with added aero elements, a new sportier suspension setup with stiffened dampers, larger 20-inch Polestar alloy wheels, bigger brakes and an upsized turbocharger to develop added power.

    Going with the sportier theme, the cabin gets new sports seats up front, nubuck leather upholstery, a Polestar steering along with carbonfibre inserts across the cabin.

    The biggest talking point though, is the engine. While older models used a 3.0-litre, in-line six-cylinder petrol unit, the new car follows Volvo’s downsizing philosophy and is powered by a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder petrol engine good for 367hp and 470Nm of torque. The engine is paired with an eight-speed automatic gearbox and an all-wheel-drive system.

    A rival to the likes of the Mercedes-AMG C43, the S60 Polestar replaces the 306hp S60 T6 petrol to become the only petrol offering in the S60 line-up.
