      On the design aspect, Volvo cars have always stood out from the crowd and the upcoming V60 Polestar is no less of a looker. The vehicle gets strong muscular lines on the hood that flows neatly onto the traditional grille and Active Xenon headlamps with headlight washers. The sides are flanked by large 20-inch-wheels with Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires that instantly tells you that there’s a S60 Polestar driving by. Though the international market gets an array of colour options, we shall only get the iconic cyan racing blue shade initially.  The vehicle sports well designed front splitters and a rear spoiler and diffusor for high-speed stability.The rear section flaunts the traditional C-shaped LED taillights with a Polestar badge on the boot.

      Post launch, the upcoming Volvo S60 Polestar will compete against the Mercedes-Benz CLA 45 AMG. The latter gets a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged engine that puts out a massive 355bhp of power. The CLA 45 AMG also gets 4MATIC all-wheel drive system that comes mated to AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT 7-speed sport transmission with E-SELECT lever and Race Start function. However, the CLA 45 AMG has smaller wheels, 18-inch to be precise, as compared to the upcoming S60 Polestar from Volvo. The Mercedes-Benz CLA 45 AMG is priced at Rs 71.94 lakh (Ex-showroom, Delhi), and although the price for the S60 Polestar is yet to be announced, we expect it to be priced between Rs 60 lakh – Rs 65 lakh (Ex-showroom, Delhi). Loadedwith tons of safety features and impressive performance figures, we expect Volvo S60 Polestar to emerge strongly in the performance segment in India.
