Exterior - What the Auto Press Says

Reviewers often find the Volvo S60 sharp and even sexy, but have a hard time pinning down why. Volvo's signature look, with its body-length curved shoulder lines and V-shaped hood character lines, seems to work particularly well with a car this size. The look should be outdated by now, but we still find mostly praise for it.

  • "The S60 remains visually alluring, if not outright seductive, with its arcing roofline." -- Forbes
  • "The S60's shape is defined by its sharpened V-shaped hood and trunk lines that join to form a truly attractive sport sedan." -- Kelley Blue Book
  • "Rock-solid evidence that you can still wrap yourself in a Volvo to feel safe and secure, but now you also can be fashionable." -- Chicago Tribune
