The interior of the all-new S60 takes Volvo Car Corporation to a new dimension in exclusive quality. Volvo Cars' designers have also added excitement, contrast and playfulness to the rational simplicity of Scandinavian design tradition.
"The interior has a more extrovert attitude than before, but without losing any of its practical Scandinavian roots. The all-new S60 brings us up to a whole new level when it comes to the integral experience of colour, form, material and technology," says Volvo Cars' Design Director Peter Horbury.
Scandinavian design is often described with rational adjectives such as functionality, simplicity and clarity. When creating the all-new S60, the design team also added in a modern touch, details that generate excitement, contrast and playfulness.
"In addition, we've taken a significant step forward when it comes to the quality and craftsmanship of the interior. We aimed to make every visible surface, whether leather, metal, wood or plastic, exclusive both to the hand and the eye," says Anders Sachs, who is in charge of colours and materials in the all-new Volvo S60.
The attractive stitching of the upholstery is a good example of the systematic approach to quality. The silk metal frame around the centre console's décor in Charcoal, Shimmer Graphite aluminum or Urbane Wood is another.
"We have had a no-compromise approach when it comes to perfection. Every single detail is of great importance for the total impression," says Sachs.
Uncompromising sportiness with racing inspiration
Volvo Cars' designers obtained their inspiration from the racing track as they pursued their hunt for uncompromising sportiness in the all-new S60.
"A quick glance inside the car is enough for you to feel that this is a Volvo with a totally different dynamic presence than previous models. The racing track's dramatic yet harmoniously flowing lines can be traced in almost every interior detail. It's an interior for all your senses," says Jonathan Disley, head of interior design in the all-new S60.
