Sexy estate version of sporty S60, launched at 2010 Paris Salon. Same comments for S60 apply here, including Volvo’s emphasis on comfort and its first-of-a-kind pedestrian avoidance feature, which can bring the car to a stop at slow speeds. No direct predecessor: Volvo intended the V60 to be a lifestyle estate, while V50 and V70 were more traditional load-luggers, though eventually it supplanted the former.
