Volvo S60
built 813 days ago
Volvo's S60 is an all-new mid-size model for this luxury automaker. It is perfectly positioned as the ‘midway’ selection between the S40 (too small) and the S80 (too big). Base to top line models and trim are available. Auto-reviewers quickly sort out any confusion that there might be about the designations and history of these wonderfully reliable vehicles. The 2001 S60 replaces the S70, which replaced the 850, which replaced the 740 – and that in short is it!

The interior of the Volvo S60 is functional but doesn't feel upscale unless you add options like leather upholstery. The controls are nicely weighted; although, the pictograms depicting the various functions can be difficult to understand. There is seating for five, but rear passengers may find legroom tight. The front seats always receive the highest accolades, with a blend of cushioning and support and a myriad of controls that allow variously sized bodies to fit comfortably.

The engines in the Volvo S60 are five-cylinder, transversely installed in-line units. A five-cylinder engine gives low vibration and smooth operation. Together with large displacement, the five-cylinder configuration provides high torque across a broad rev band, and ... also swift acceleration and excellent driveability within a wide speed range.

The Volvo S60 was launched in the UK in October 2000 at the Birmingham Motor Show. It was an immediate success and in 2003 the UK was the second largest market for the S60 and over 57 per cent of those sales were the ‘D5’ turbo diesel.
