Staring the ReVOLVOlution
A replacement for the S70 midsize sedan, the Volvo S60 sedan has
been crafted and made available in three models which are the
2.4, 2.4 T (turbocharged), and the T5 (turbocharged). The 2.4 T
model requires an automatic transmission, however both the 2.4
and the T5 models are available with either an automatic or a
manual transmission as options.
This sedan from Volvo Cars came to be introduced back in 2000.
The Volvo P2 platform serves as it base and this platform is
shared by the Volvo S60 with the Volvo S80, Volvo V70, and the
Volvo XC90. This vehicle was designed by Peter Horbury and is
one of the first "curvy Volvos". It had an advertising tagline
that said "Revolvolution". Four years after its introduction,
the Volvo S60 was slightly restyled and along with that, it had
lost its headlamp wipers to be replaced by jet wipers, and also
lost the 2.4 liter engine for a more powerful 2.5 liter engine.
At present, the Volvo S60 has a 107 inch wheelbase, an overall
length of 180 inches, 71 inches in width, 56 inches of height,
and a weight of 3289 to 3400 pounds. Its engine has a power of
103 to 191 kW and a torque of 192 to 350 N*m.
The latest redesign of the Volvo S60 is the 2006 model with its
four doors, maximum of five passenger capacity, and is available
as a luxury sedan or luxury sports sedan. It has been made
available in four trims that ranges from the 2.5 T to the R. The
2006 Volvo S60 is a carryover of the 2005 Volvo S60. Also, this
luxury sedan is the best-selling model from the Volvo brand and
has abundant standard features. And as per Volvo standards, this
vehicle comes well-equipped with safety features that is all
part of Volvo's core values, making this vehicle strong and safe
at the same time. This Volvo S60 comes with an Environmental
Product Declaration that is certified by Lloyd's Register of
London in the United Kingdom - it certifies that the Volvo S60
has met environmental standards throughout the life cycle of the
car.
