For the longest time, if anyone was looking at sports sedan ownership, one would naturally gravitate to the usual German suspects. After all, they're the game's best right? Not if you have stepped into the Volvo S60 T8 R-Design. Take a look at it, drink it in.

Gorgeous, isn't it? Many manufacturers have been accused of looking too much like each other (G20 BMW 3 Series and GN Honda City anyone?), not Volvo. From just about every angle, you won't mistake the Volvo S60 for anything else on the road.

The interior of the S60 is similarly distinctive, in a Scandinavian, minimalist way. The ambience is magnificent blend of luxury and sportiness. Fit and finish are first rate, but you wouldn't expect anything less from Volvo.

What you wouldn't expect is how brilliantly the S60 behaves on the road, but it is every bit a sports sedan. The chassis is controlled, precise, and yet still supple enough for the daily grind. The powertrain, effortlessly punchy.
