Many people wonder who makes Volvo engines. Since 2013, the Swedish manufacturer makes its own engines in a factory in Skövde, Sweden. You can be sure that you’re getting the full Volvo reliability when you buy a S60.
A Great Design, Inside and Out
The Volvo S60 for sale proudly bears the manufacturer’s new insignia on its grille, which has itself been modified for 2023, taking a bit more space on the vehicle’s front.
The new rear bumper is designed to hide the exhaust tips, contributing to the S60’s overall elegance. The wheel rims have also been changed to give the vehicle a more modern look. In short, the Volvo S60 keeps everything that made its predecessor great vehicles, while adjusting its aesthetic for 2023.
According to the experts over at MotorTrend, this car’s design is one of its many strong suits. On this subject, they wrote:
“The Volvo S60 is a charmer, starting with its extraordinary exterior design. That likeability continues inside, where the interior is stylish, upscale, and well equipped with comfort and convenience features.”
Indeed, the Volvo S60’s interior is just as stylish, thanks to a panoramic moonroof, standard on all trims, as well as seats that offer the well-known Volvo-brand ergonomic design. The manufacturer also provides quality build materials, such as genuine wood and Nappa leather.
Well seated and getting your fill of natural light, there’s no better way to enjoy your time out on the road!
