When you see a Volvo, the first things that come to mind are a dozen airbags, pedestrian alerts, radar safety, city braking, anti-collision and what not. However, the Polestar is the shot of adrenaline to Volvo’s otherwise docile S60 sedan that has transformed it into a different beast altogether.
The Volvo S60 Polestar is based on the base-spec S60 petrol and is priced at Rs. 56.02 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). This base variant comes with a four-cylinder 1,969cc motor, putting out a massive 367PS of max power and 470Nm@2100-4500rpm of max torque respectively. The motor comes mated to an 8-speed automatic gearbox which handles transmission duties quite efficiently.
With a 0-100kmph coming up in just 4.7 seconds, the S60 Polestar is the most sedate looking, but astonishing performance sedan, which yet again proves the old proverbial saying that looks can often be deceptive.
