McKevitt Volvo serving Berkeley and San Leandro announced today that the sleek and sporty 2011 Volvo S60 will be introduced to Bay Area Volvo shoppers during two special showings on Monday, August 16 in Berkley and Friday, August 20 in San Leandro. Times for both events are 5 -7 p.m.

The 2011 Volvo S60, as Doug Speck, President and CEO of Volvo Cars North America described it, “looks and drives like no other Volvo before.” An unexpected departure for Volvo, the S60 has a design and feel that is more sporty, adrenaline-infused and evocative than any Volvo before it.

The four-door coupe’s re-imagined exterior features a fast silhouette and new lateral “double wave” character lines, both helping create its aggressive and unique feel.

The more-thrilling driving experience in the S60 is fueled by a powerful turbo, six-cylinder engine that churns out 300 horsepower.  Improved handling also adds to the S60’s sporty feel with available all-wheel drive and standard dynamic stability and traction control (DSTC) with sport mode, advanced stability control (ASC) and corner traction control.

All Volvo models, including the S60, also offer peace-of-mind with Volvo’s reputation for safety and come with the best-in-class Safe and Secure Coverage Plan, which offers drivers free five-year factory warranty coverage, complimentary scheduled maintenance, wear and tear coverage, and Volvo On-Call Roadside Assistance.

McKevitt Volvo invites Bay Area Volvo shoppers to view and test-drive this innovative vehicle during these special events at their Berkeley and San Leandro dealerships.
