Volvo S60 crossover country launched in India. But first of all there is a question,”What comes in your mind when you heard about crossover cars?”
According to Wikipedia: “A crossover or crossover utility vehicle (CUV), is a vehicle built on a car platform and combining, in highly variable degrees, features of a sport utility vehicle (SUV) with features from a passenger vehicle, especially those of a station wagon or hatchback.”
Wherever we here this word we thought about any SUV. Normally people think it will not a good idea to mix design of a sedan class car with SUV. Meanwhile, Volvo doesn’t think in same way, and found a loophole to do it. They named it ‘Volvo S60.
