Next-generation mid-sized Volvo S60 has been unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show.

The Volvo S60, which is a replacement for the original S60 that was launched in 2000, has new steering column created from solid steel that provides more precise steering.

The new car is equipped with stiffer bushings than the S80. Its re-engineered front struts resist cornering forces in a better way.

Original S60, which hit the roads in 2000, had gained some attraction in the beginning but later on lost that attraction too.

S60 comes with Volvo’s City Safety technology which minimizes the impact of collisions. The new car will also introduce company’s Pedestrian detection system with automatic braking.

As far as the S60 interior is concerned, it is going to be the most advanced high tech environment ever produced by the company.

The company informed that the medium-sized prestige model will hit European roads in the mid 2010, while New Zealand will get it at the end of current year.
