Volvo updated its midsize sedan for 2011 with a design that closely resembles the 2009 concept car. The new model is about 2 inches bigger in every dimension resulting in a roomier interior. Although a Volvo offers a variety of new powertrains worldwide, the US version is only available with a turbocharged 3.0l inline six upon launch. All-wheel drive is standard on the S60 T6. Volvo has revised the suspension and steering with an emphasis on sporty handling.
