Good news! Volvo's all-new and luxurious 2011 Volvo S60 has received the AUTOMOBILE magazine’s prestigious 2011 All Star Award. We, Sanderson Volvo of Phoenix, your friendly Volvo car dealer in Phoenix, Arizona, believe the S60 luxury sedan is arguably one of the most important cars Volvo has launched and this prestigious award is an incredible honor.

“With the S60, Volvo has managed to carve out a distinct product in an impossibly crowded field. The S60 retains its Swedish personality but now challenges the class leaders on refinement and handling”, the editors of the magazine have praised the S60 in the February 2011 issue.

The AUTOMOBILE Magazine All-Star Award marks the fourth major US  award the S60 has received. "This is the second time Volvo has won the coveted award. The exciting C30 earned a similar honor in 2008.

The award winning 2011 S60 features the awesome power of 300 ponies and 325-lb.-ft. of torque available at just 2,100 rpm, standard all-wheel drive, a quick-shifting 6-speed "Geartronic" transmission with "Sport" mode. Undoubtedly, the sportiest sedan in the Swedish company's 80-plus year history, the 2011 S60 has an additional turbocharged T6 engine delivers 26 mpg on the highway and 18 mpg in the city for a combined 21 mpg.

The S60’s T6 engine was one among the Ward's 10 Best Engines for 2011. Popular Science recognized Volvo's Pedestrian Detection with Full Auto Brake as the "Smartest Safety Feature" in its annual Best of What's New Auto Tech category. Further, Volvo's technology for avoiding low-speed collisions also received the American "Traffic Safety Achievement Award" at World Traffic Safety Symposium in New York in April 2010.

Sanderson Volvo in Phoenix, AZ, is proud to announce the arrival of the all-new 2011
Volvo S60. As the first sequel to the original S60 of a decade ago, this fully revamped model incorporates the safety, practicality, and peace of mind inherent in all Volvos, but has been conceived under a new philosophy and infused with a fresh attitude.

The 2011 S60 comes charging out of the gate with a 300-horsepower, 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine powering all four wheels, amounting to history's most blazing fast Volvo to date. Coupled with tenacious, low-profile 18-inch tires and wheels, big disc brakes, and a choice of three suspensions (including Volvo's all-electronic FOUR-C Active Chassis), the new S60 amounts to an awesome-performing sports sedan that shows off a new 'naughty'side of Volvo.

Yet this Volvo also demonstrates how naughtiness can coexist with safety, luxury, and personal responsibility. All S60s come with electronic climate control, a High Performance Audio System with HD Radio and Aux & USB inputs, Bluetooth, a Driver Control Interface with a 7-inch screen, and leather seating. The S60's occupants can feel secure in the presence of six airbags, antilock brakes, stability control, and Volvo's exclusive protection systems against whiplash (WHIPS) and side-impacts (SIPS). Likewise, Volvo's new City Safety system can proactively hit the brakes when an object is approaching too fast, while the company's new Pedestrian Detection system aids driver braking to help save the lives of those around you.
