The Volvo S60: Modern Scandinavian Design

Post

Every effort to ensure that Volvo’s standards of luxury and performance were met went into the creation of the Volvo S60. That is why every inch of the design, from the headlights to the taillights, is based upon the Scandinavian design principles of form and function.

Each and every aspect of the Volvo S60 was designed by hand to ensure that the final product met expectations of how a luxury car should look, feel and perform. The car also needed to channel a certain emotional and naturalistic quality – something distinctly Swedish and certainly very “Volvo.” Take, for example, the double-wave shoulder of the car. Yes the lines are strong, but they also mirror the Swedish coastline and archipelago rock formations which inspired them. Thus communicating a quiet harmony derived from Volvo’s heritage.
