The new-generation 2019 Volvo S60 has been revealed today, but an Australian debut for the premium new sedan is still to be confirmed.

The next-generation Volvo S60 has been spied completely undisguised in Sweden, with a single image posted online this week. Published by Swedish site Teknikens Värld, the picture doesn't offer too many surprises – the car basically looks like a shrunken S90.
