Volvo S60 refreshed for 2007
As you can see the Volvo S60 is going to be spruced up for the 2007 model year with a new front end that includes a deeper lip spoiler, new grille and larger Volvo iron symbol. The side mirrors feature integrated turn signals now and the headlights are Active Bi-Xenons able to be turned up to 15 degrees in either direction.
Many interior trim pieces have also been dipped in metal to brighten up the S60’s insides and the watch-like instruments found in the S60R and new S80 are now an option.
Though no powertrain enhancements were rolled out, Volvo did spend a lot of time on the S60’s chassis adding firmer shocks and springs front and rear while beefing up the anti-roll bars. All told the car’s torsional rigidity is up some 25 percent.
