The Volvo S60 first entered showrooms in 2000 as a replacement for the S70 model before it.

Its classed as a compact executive car like the Lexus IS and the Audi A4 boasting features found on cars larger than themselves with a stylish appearance.

For those wanting a station-wagon-style version of the car, they can opt for the V70 sister-line from the Swedish carmaker.

Underneath the original first-generation S60 is the same platform used by the larger XC90 crossover SUV and S80.

Then when the second generation was released in 2010 it switched to a more universal platform shared by many other cars under the parent company Ford's umbrella.

You can find many of the same mechanical parts used by the S60/V70 in the following cars (to name a few):

• Ford Mondeo
• Ford S-Max
• Volvo XC60
• Volvo S80 & S80L

Moving the car into the third-generation the company retained the same platform and reduced the variety of engines that had been up until this time vast.

Now buyers could only choose between a 2 liter gasoline engine fitted with either one or twin-turbochargers mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission.

Sales have remained steady over its life with around 60,000 examples sold on average per year of the Volvo S60.
