Volvo S60 Review - Volvo S60 are not square anymore; the square perception must be removed from now on. This sixthgeneration Volvo S60 is the latest version in 2015 that will surprise and awe you, because a smooth and amazing body surface is on a practical sedan. It will take your memory away from the older, square and slab-sided version of the Scandinavian family sedan of last year. The shape of Volvo S60 will make the Volvo look stunning on the streets.
In 2015, Volvo S60 is very efficient with the installation of a four cylinder engine which makes Volvo S60 more fuel efficient compared to previous models. Volvo S60 only offer the front-wheel-drive model. If we want an all-wheel-drive model, we must be satisfied with an older model and wait for a few more years. They completed the upgrades that started from last year, when the Volvo S60’s appearance is more simple to be upgraded (and an upgrade under the hood to build powertrains).
The Volvo S60 fits five adults because the backseat is larger than it seems, but four people will feel more comfortable in a trip. We tested a new front seat a few years ago, with bolstering and compatibility. The seat is not wide, and it is worrying if a big and wide American would seat on it, he would use a pillow as a divider. But on an experiment of several hundreds of miles, we deemed the chair worthy to be sold. With a calm high quality cabin, we will be in a nuance of luxury – except the Design R sporty model, which is better against the road pressure with big, lower tires, and stiffer sport suspension.
The Volvo S60’s sharp handling and sophisticated features closely compete against premium and luxurious sport cars. It is competent despite of its less luxurious side body shape. Imagine an Acura or Infinity, maybe an Audi, more than a BMW or Mercedes-Benz, with a slightly larger size than the Acura TSX compact or a BMW 3 Series, but smaller than a middle model car, such as Audi A6 or Infiniti Q70 (previously Infiniti M). People claimed that the device performance of the Volvo S60 is comparable to Buick Regal GS, Audi 4A, and BMW3 Series.
If we prefer a front wheel drive car, we may choose one of two types of Drive E 2.0-litre 4 cylinders. This newest Volvo S60 model is very efficient, based on the T5 240-HP turbocharged turbo version 302-HP and supercharged version of the T6 model. It then combines with an eight-speed transmission and a wide-ratio that works at slow speed on the streets for fuel efficiency.
Moving on to the all-wheel drive, the T5 AWD model uses a 250-HP turbocharged 2.5-litre 5 cylinders of the older versions, while the T6 AWD is more powerful with a 300-HP 3.0-litre turbocharged 6. Both of these engines use AWD systems through Volvo Haldex AWD and automatic six-speed transmission. It is more fuel efficient as you’d expect, and better (combination of 28 or 29 mpg) than previous AWD models (combination of 22 or 23 mpg).
The sixth generation Volvo S60 was well received. It passed all tests, including the newest and hardest test conducted by IIHS and NHTSA. Volvo S60 also comes with a comprehensive package of standard and optional electronic security system. Volvo S60 consists of Corner Traction Control, where it allocates the torque of the car to increase grip in aggressive maneuvers, a pedestrian detection system with automatic brakes which identifies and brakes before hitting a pedestrian or cycler if the driver is inattentive and Blind Spot Information System.
The S60R has a long list of performance upgrades which would make buyers consider to bring their Volvo to the race track. The changes include the upgrade to the 325-HP version T6 3.0-liter turbo 6 engine, a powerful yet quiet engine, with smooth, firm, and pleasant sound. Unfortunately, the automatic six-speed doesn’t always respond the way you want it, making sedan fans less enthusiastic, unlike the latest BMW 3 Series or Cadillac CTS.
Volvo S60 comes in Premier, Premier Plus, and the next level Platinum. Some of the futures, such as the Blind Spot Information System with traffic caution signs, could be ordered as a personal preference.
Three out of four variants of the Volvo S60 are on the market right now. The T6 with the newest Drive-E engine will be released in June. The price starts from $33.300 for the T5 and $38.150 for the T6, as is the front wheel drive version. The top of the model design S60R Platinum is priced around $55.000, making it possible for you to choose a more stylish four door family sedan, safe, comfortable or sporty, and better performance. One of them will give new information, convenience, and optional features.
