S60 D5 Automatic (Sweden, 2010)

The second generation Volvo S60 had its world premiere at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show.

For Volvo Cars' Design Director Peter Horbury, the 2010 S60 has a coupe feeling. The new lines give the S60 a more dynamic profile with the C-pillar stretching all the way to the tail lamps and the sculpted bonnet and the short overhangs front and rear.

The car was developed searching solutions and refinements for virtually every single detail that influences a car's driving properties. The results include improved steering, stiffer springs and bushes as well as more damping than in any previous Volvo.

As for the engines that power the S60, four different powertrains are available: two petrol and two diesel engines. During the first year of production other four engines are added to the range, including a 1.6-litre diesel engine DRIVe version that has a fuel consumption of 4.3 l/100 km (EU Combined), corresponding to CO2 emissions below 115 g/km.

The S60 features the four-cylinder 2.0 GTDi (Gasoline Turbocharged Direct Injection) engine. This Volvo-developed turbocharging technology, direct injection and twin variable camshafts combines low fuel consumption, low emissions and high performance across a wide rev range.
