Volvo has rolled in to Detroit this year with two new versions of its S60 sedan. One is the S60 Cross Country we brought you earlier, applying the high-riding, soft-road treatment usually reserved for the Swedish automaker's wagons to its four-door sedan. But along with it, Volvo has also announced the arrival of thee S60 Inscription.
Details are few and far between as to what, precisely, sets the Inscription model apart. But in correspondence with Autoblog, Volvo confirmed what the press release (below, citing "class leading rear space") and images suggest, that the S60 Inscription is based on the long-wheelbase, Chinese-built S60L.
The Inscription trim level as applied to other models like the XC60 and S80 typically centers around interior upgrades like special leather upholstery and wood trim as well as different wheels. We can expect a similar treatment to set the S60 Inscription apart, placing the new model as the elegant, luxury counterpart to the soft-road Cross Country and performance-oriented Polestar versions.
Alongside the S60 Cross Country and S60 Inscription, Volvo is also showcasing the new XC90 R Design in North America for the first time.
