Exterior :
Volvo’s quest to create something unmistakably Swedish begins with the S60 T5’s exterior design. The redesigned S60 T5 is the latest Volvo to distance the brand from its boxy designs of old. Overall, the T5’s compact stance, flowing lines and low roofline make it a stylish luxury car. Virtually all the lines are penned to carve out the coupe with four doors profile. There are so many styling attributes found on The Volvo simply wouldn’t work out on traditional German sedan. Things like seven-spoke turbine inspired 17-inch wheels, chunky headlamps design with LED fangs and thin-topped eagle’s head tail lamps. Even the body paint would seem off on BMW or Benz, and the result is a luxury sedan that is sleek and stylish in its own unique way. The new T5 model is as sporty and dynamic as any other model in the line-up. It features the same coupe-like profile with the C-pillar of the all-new S60 stretching sensually all the way to the tail lamps.
