Volvo Sedan Now in Production at South Carolina Facility
If you're set on cars made in the USA but desire heralded European engineering, you ought to consider the Volvo S60. Announced earlier this year that Volvo would be establishing a U.S. production presence, the first batch of S60s are now ready for the road.
Boasting sleek interior and exterior designs that this Swedish automaker is known for, the latest iteration of the Volvo S60 is more than just a pretty face. With different powertrains paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission -- a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 250 hp, a supercharged and turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 316 hp, and a plug-in hybrid making 400 hp -- drivers of all tastes can appreciate this kind of variety. To complement the S60's impressive powertrain, its communicative and advanced chassis delivers a balance of a supportive and comfortable ride that gives the driver full control.
The S60 also provides intuitive driving technologies such as touchscreen controls, smartphone integration, premium sound systems, Off-Road Mitigation, City Safety, Pilot Assist, and 360˚ SurroundView Camera that all work to provide you with the reliable and conscientious performance Volvo is known for.
Currently, Volvo's South Carolina facility is only making the S60 but has plans to start production of the newest generation of the XC90 SUV starting in 2021. European SUV enthusiasts will have a luxury option available to them with all-American manufacturing, a win-win for consumers.
For a lot of car buyers searching for their next ride, buying outside of the US market can feel a touch conflicting. Volvo is creating and supporting American jobs with this new production facility while providing the chic and luxurious engineering that the Swedes have been offering for more than 90 years.
