McKevitt Volvo serving San Francisco and Bay Area Volvo shoppers announced today that the sleek and sporty 2011 Volvo S60 will be available at their dealerships in August.

With two chassis settings, the Volvo S60 buyer can opt for Advanced Stability Control or sport mode. The turbocharged T6 engine with AWD provides 300 HP and 325 pd ft of torque. The 2011 Volvo S60’s 6 cylinder engine is actually the most powerful ever offered by Volvo.

Consumers looking for a sporty car, but are also concerned about safety, the S60 T6 AWD has sports car styling but is, by many reports, the safest car ever built. The Volvo S60 offers City Safety to help avoid crashes, and also boasts world first Pedestrian Detection Control, complete with automatic braking.

Last year Volvo received the Plus X Award for this feature, which was named “Best Product of the Year 2010.”

The Volvo S60 will be able to compete with other vehicles in the premium sedan category with good looks, good performance, well-balanced suspension and overall well-built quality.

McKevitt Volvo invites Berkeley Volvo shoppers to view and test drive this great vehicle at their Berkeley and San Leandro dealerships in August. A firm date for the debut of this innovative vehicle will be announced later.
