Volvo V60 Photo Gallery

Volvo hasn't hopped on the fierce face or the big grille bandwagon. Friendlier?

A handsome car from the front quarter, but not its best angle.

The BMW appears sportier from the front. Fiercer face, longer hood. Volvo's windshield more raked.

Sporty styling makes for small rear side windows. Sport Package includes 19-inch wheels.

Great curves. Striking and lovely from the rear quarter, especially in this color with these wheels.

Attractive, but less striking. Note the larger rear side windows.

A nice place to stop after driving the Tail of the Dragon a few times.

The view up the river.

Warm and welcoming, even in black. Contrasting stitching helps.

BMW's interiors tend to be both busier and more severe, even with red stitching.

The vent to the right of the display looks like a last-minute addition, jars my sense of aesthetics.

Configurable LCD instruments. Plus good large knobs, not so good large buttons.

Much cushier than BMW seats, yet also properly supportive. I do wish the headrests were adjustable.

Rear seat room was not a top design priority.

Plenty of space...as long as you pack lightly.

With the seats folded, the cargo floor isn't nearly flat.

Volvo's new turbocharged four-cylinder engine is powerful and efficient.

Sorry, couldn't help myself, one more from the rear quarter, on Tail of the Dragon.
