“CARS ARE DRIVEN BY PEOPLE. THEREFORE, THE GUIDING
PRINCIPLE BEHIND EVERYTHING WE MAKE AT VOLVO, IS
– AND MUST REMAIN – SAFETY.”
ASSAR GABRIELSSON AND GUSTAF LARSON,
THEFOUNDERSOFVOLVO.

For a lifetime, we have protected and celebrated life: of the occupants
of our cars and of the world around them. Since our life began in 1927,
we’ve learned a great deal about keeping people safe, through extensive
testing and by researching real-life accidents. In fact, while the entire
automobile industry makes use of Volvo safety concepts, we continue
to develop new ones.
One of the things we’ve discovered is that although safety is
enhanced through the interaction of sophisticated systems, it is most
importantly the product of the relationship between car and driver.
This bond is where dynamic driving begins. With this in mind, we have
designed a Volvo that is not only thrilling to drive, but is also safer than
ever before; for people and for the environment in which they live.
Maybe that’s why, even after all these years, we still find safety so
exciting. Welcome to the carmaker that never takes life for granted.
VOLVO. FOR LIFE

Its attraction is both logical and emotional. However you choose to
measure it, the Volvo S60 is a compelling choice. It has a powerful
persona and a seductive sense of style. It’s a charismatic mix of art
and engineering, and a sportsman through and through. If you’re
motivated by the purity of a car that’s built for the love of driving,
this one might be for you.

When it leaps into action you’ll appreciate the sure-footed grip.
The fuel-efficient five-cylinder engine generates an abundant flow
of power. The drivetrain is a synthesis of strength and precision that
provides an invigorating thrust. The Volvo S60 likes to perform for
an audience, so choose your passengers carefully.
HOLD TIGHT

< ENGINE
The 5-cylinder engines form the core of your driving
experience, providing power on demand. Cutting-edge
technology and advanced engineering result in quick
acceleration, but not at the expense of fuel consumption
or emissions. The engine range spans from the 208 hp
2.5T to the exhilarating 257 hp T5 litre powerplant.
TRANSMISSION >
The engine’s power reaches the road through a range of
five or six-speed transmissions. To give you the best of both
worlds, the optional Geartronic automatic transmission
offers you the convenience of a fully automatic ride, or lets
you shift through the gears manually for faster acceleration
or to utilize the engine’s braking capacity.

AWD WITH INSTANT TRACTION™
The Volvo S60 2.5T AWD employs Volvo’s new pre-charged, electronically controlled all-wheel drive system – AWD with Instant Traction™.
The difference is noticeable from the moment you start off – constant hydraulic pressure ensures that power is instantly divided among the
wheels with the best traction. Wheel spin is minimized to provide immediate acceleration and reassuring stability in slippery conditions.
During normal driving on straight dry roads, the front wheels receive up to 95% of the power for optimum stability and fuel economy. As the
situation dictates, up to 50% of the power is instantly distributed to the rear wheels – depending on what is required to provide maximum
stability and traction. And when cornering, the AWD system channels power where it’s needed most to provide sharp turning and consistent
stability throughout the curve.
How about using all four wheels to their greatest potential? Volvo’s
active chassis with its unique Four-C technology continuously adjusts
the suspension according to your driving style, speed and current road
conditions. And to fully utilize the physics of all four wheels, there’s
Volvo’s pre-charged AWD with Instant Traction™ – providing instant
take-off and superior traction on all surfaces.
