The
2011 2012 Volvo S60 offers a style all its own. The S60 combines excellent
performance and a great shape with Volvo's outstanding safety features.
It feels like a tight European sedan, with a smooth ride. For 2011 2012, there's
a new engine option and a new rack-and-pinion steering system, improving
on its already good acceleration and precise handling. The S60 fills the
middle range in Volvo's lineup: It's larger than the S40, but not quite
as large as the premium-luxury S80. Not surprisingly, the S60 also fits
between those models in price. Volvo says the S60 represents 'the essence
of contemporary Scandinavian design. The S60 seems compact at first glance,
and there's a hunched-shoulder look to the rear flanks, suggesting a hockey
player ready to lead a charge up the ice.
The S60 2.4 comes with a 2.4-liter, five-cylinder engine that produces 168 horsepower and 166 pounds-feet of torque. (A 165-horsepower, super-low-emissions, or SULEV, version is sold only in California.) A five-speed manual transmission is standard. A five-speed automatic transmission is optional. The 2.5T gets a turbocharged 2.5-liter engine for 2011 2012 that produces 208 horsepower and 236 foot-pounds of torque. The 2.5T comes standard with the equipment included the S60 2.4 model's Sport and Premium packages. The 2011 2012 Volvo S60 uses a 2.3-liter inline five-cylinder engine with a high-pressure turbo to produce 247 horsepower and 243 pounds-feet of torque for much quicker acceleration. A five-speed manual transmission is standard, with the Geartronic automatic optional ($1,200). The T5 gets the same equipment and package options as the 2.5T, and adds Dynamic Stability Traction Control, or DSTC, or as standard equipment. New to the lineup is the ultra high-performance S60R, which boasts 300 horsepower and 295 foot-pounds of torque beginning at just 1950 rpm. It comes with a choice of a new Volvo-built six-speed close-ratio gearbox or five-speed automatic with a manual mode, and high-performance brakes. Click here to
