Sporty impression visible from the outside is the C-pillars that ran along the line toward the tail lights. This creates a gentle double wave in the line from the headlamps at the front to the tail lamps at the rear. Also urther enhanced with an exterior styling kit that incorporates front and rear skid plates, two frames in the lower valence, side scuff plates, exhaust tailpipe finishers and 18-inch alloy wheels. This car is being introduced with a range of exterior colours including two new shades: Vibrant Copper and Electrum Gold.
The Volvo S60 is the first saloon on the market with Volvo’s Advanced Stability Control which has a number of sophisticated features to improve driving pleasure and safety. The Volvo S60 range will be available with a choice of two diesels and one petrol engine. All the engines have been developed to meet the highest demands on sporty, dynamic driving with competitive fuel consumption.
The high-performance twin turbo D5 produces 205 horsepower and 420Nm of torque. Acceleration from 0-62mph takes 7.8 seconds (manual and automatic) and top speed is 146mph (manual) and 143mph (automatic). In the most recent D5 version, introduced in spring 2009, the performance and driveability requirements have been met by fitting two turbochargers of different sizes, one taking over from the other and providing added power within a broader rev range. The result is alert response and rapid acceleration at all speeds, with seamless transfers in the turbo rev range between the two turbochargers. The complementary properties of the two turbos combine high performance with lower fuel consumption of 47.9mpg (EU Combined, preliminary figure).
