2010 VOLVO S60 3.0L T6 6AT AWD (305 HP)

Vehicle Overview

Already around for 10 years, the S60 was in need of a complete makeover to regain its position in the range.

Built on a shorter S80 platform, the mid-size sedan was 1 inch longer, 2 inches wider and a longer wheelbase compared to the previous model.

The classy interior design was modernised and still kept the “floating” center stack control panel.

Providing a more engaging drive than before, the S60 featured a quicker steering and provided the driver with a more sporty experience with a choice of suspension options.

The Swedish company was well-known for the cutting-edge technology included with its every model. The S60 was equipped with Pedestrian Detection with full auto brake.

A single trim level was available, with a 300 hp unit and an all-wheel-drive system. Front-wheel-drive and a new trim levels became available later on, and also a less powerful engine that developed 227 hp.

Standard features also included a tweaked suspension, 18-inch alloys, front sport seats, leather upholstery, dual-zone automatic climate control, Bluetooth connectivity, an 8-speaker sound system, iPod integration, USB port and an auxiliary audio jack.

The Premium package available added adaptive xenon headlights and a sunroof.

Other packages were available to enhance comfort and to provide more technology.

Stand-alone options included an adaptive suspension, 17-inch alloys, blind spot alert, keyless entry and dual display screens as a rear entertainment system.
