Once in a blue moon a model comes along that is truly a first. Lucky for Volvo lovers in the Concord area we have one of those vehicles to announce right now. Heard word of the Volvo V60 circulating the street buzz? Well, in case you haven't gathered up all the details yet, let Lovering Volvo in Concord assure you that it is going to generate some serious attention.

Bound to be released before 2013, the V60 will be the premier production model diesel plug-in hybrid. We know, we know...that's a lot of adjectives to describe one car. But if you haven't surmised yet, the upcoming Volvo contribution to the auto worlds is hardly any old vehicle. Here are just a few of the reasons why:

-          3 available drive modes: pure, hybrid and power
-          2.4-liter, 5-cylinder turbo diesel engine: 215-hp and 325-lb./ft. of torque
-          Electric motor: 70-hp and 147-lb./ft. of torque
-          11.2-kWh lithium-ion battery pack
-          Sprint time of 60-mph in under seven seconds
-          Competitive charge time (i.e. 3.5-hrs with a 16-amp line)
-          32-mile all-electric drive range

As convincing as those numbers are, sometimes consumers need to feel a vehicle's drive before they can believe in it. Unfortunately, Lovering Volvo in Concord can't tell you if and when the V60 will be arriving at 95 Manchester Street Concord, NH 03301. However, as always, you can count on us to deliver that information as soon as it's served up. To help the waiting time fly by faster, feel free to peruse our new Volvo lineup and contact our team members with particular questions that may arise.
