The Latest Volvo S60 (2019)

If more people want the car, the factory can even make up to 100,000 cars a year!
This factory is special because it's Volvo's sixth factory around the world. Volvo also has factories in Europe, China, and Malaysia. About 2,000 people work at the South Carolina factory. The main building of the factory was finished in April 2017.
Future of the S60: Electric Power
The third-generation S60 is designed to be very modern. It will have a special engine system called a hybrid powertrain. This means it uses both gasoline and electricity to run, which is better for the environment. The S60 is one of five new electric models that Volvo plans to launch.
You will also be able to get the third-generation S60 and its wagon version, the V60, as special "Polestar" models. Polestar is Volvo's high-performance brand, meaning these cars will be extra sporty and powerful!
