Volvo opens US plant, reveals S60 later today

Volvo plant South Carolina, USA

Volvo has officialy inaugurated its brand new manufacturing site in Charleston, South Carolina - the first production facility of the Swedish brand in North America. It is to become the birthplace of the brand new S60, which will be revealed later today.

North America is where Volvo sells most of its midsize sedans, which is why it makes sense to build the S60 there. Production will start in the fall of 2018. From 2021, the factory will also build the next generation of the Volvo XC90 large premium SUV.
