Volvo has released the details of the new S60 ahead of the car's official debut at the Geneva show.

The saloon will launch into one of the car industry's most competitive markets, but Volvo insists that the S60's new design and superior driving characteristics will mean it can compete with the likes of BMW and Audi.

The company is touting the S60 as a four -door coupe – hardly an original pitch – but there's no denying that the car's fastback appearance. The long C-pillar and contoured shoulders give the S60 an athletic stance, but brand recognition has not been entirely sacrificed in the pursuit of increased sportiness; the car is still unmistakably a Volvo.
