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 VOLVO. FOR LIFE exciting. Welcome to the carmaker that never takes life for granted. 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 THE VOLVO S60. 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, A PERFECT AFFAIR this one might be for you. 4 5 The driving environment is inviting. The seat is snug, the setting serene. There’s space to stretch your legs, and a feeling of close proximity to the instruments. The clean lines of the cabin encompass an array of COME CLOSER intuitive controls. < BUILT-IN NAVIGATOR* The optional Volvo Navigation System helps guide you to your destination, be it to the home of a friend in an un- familiar city or to the welcome sight of a hotel along the way. The system’s voice guidance and ergonomically designed controls help keep your attention on the road, secure in the knowledge that the road is taking you where you want to go. *Maps do not cover all areas or all routes within an area. Also constant expansion and rebuilding of the road network mean that the digital map database is not always the latest road and traffic information. Always follow relevant regulations and road information. INTUITIVE DRIVING > Lean back and let the nearly infinite range of adjustments in the driver’s seat offer pampering support. Everything you need is perfectly placed. With both hands on the wheel, you’re in position to operate most of the car’s controls – including the cruise control and the audio system. Shown with optional equipment. 6 7 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 HOLD TIGHT an audience, so choose your passengers carefully. < 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 exhilarating 300 hp R to the highly efficent 208 hp light pressure turbo 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. 8 9 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 utilizse the physics of all four wheels, there’s Volvo’s pre-charged AWD with Instant Traction™ – providing instant THE POWER OF FOUR take-off and superior traction on all surfaces. 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. THE OPTIONAL ACTIVE CHASSIS WITH FOUR-C (CONTINUOUSLY CONTROLLED CHASSIS CONCEPT) The advanced chassis system monitors the car, road and driver 500 times per second and simultaneously adjusts each shock absorber for optimal handling and comfort. At the heart of the system is Volvo’s semi-active suspension with continuously controlled Monroe-Öhlins shock absorbers – featuring the two dynamic chassis modes: Comfort and Sport. The shock absorbers, stability system, engine, brakes and steering all interact in an electronic system controlled by you. The shift from Comfort to Sport is done with the simple press of a button. COMFORT SPORT For when the road is slippery or bumpy, when driving in town, or when For a sports car feel and a lively yet comfortable drive. The system you just want a relaxed ride. The Comfort chassis mode insulates the prioritizes rapid reactions. It results in decisive body movements car’s occupants from irregularities in the road surface.

When turning further, Four-C ensures that the car remains stable yet responsive throughout the curve.

This is the Volvo S60 R, a powerful yet refined machine to fulfill your every driving desire.

Its rigid structure helps absorb the forces that are the natural result of a spirited drive down a winding road. At times like this, you’ll also appreciate the attentive steering, and STC or DSTC, with the advanced technology to help STIMULATING SAFETY keep you on track. ACTIVE STABILITY SYSTEM STC (Stability and Traction Control) is an anti-spin system that improves traction in slippery situations by temporarily reducing engine torque. The enhanced version, DSTC (Dynamic Stability and Traction Control) also features an anti-skid function that brakes one or more of the wheels to help keep the car on course. Both systems react smoothly, efficiently, and instantaneously. For sportier driving or when driving in snow or sand, the anti-spin function can be reduced by the simple press of a button. (STC is standard, DSTC is standard on T5, optional on 2.5T and AWD.) ANTI-LOCKING BRAKES WITH EBA Designed to handle even the toughest tests, the power of ABS will not fade away when it’s needed most. So you can put your foot down as you steer clear of trouble. And if you don’t press the pedal hard enough, EBA (Emergency Brake Assistance) steps in with a power boost to help bring the car to a standstill in the shortest possible distance. BI-XENON (OPTIONAL) As darkness descends, you will appreciate the powerful and effective low and high beam headlights. And for an even broader and longer beam of light, you can add Bi-Xenon headlights. Integrated front and rear side- marker lights make it easier for other road-users approaching from the side to see your car. 14 15 Like its siblings, the Volvo S60 was conceived in the Volvo Safety Centre. One of the most advanced facilities of its kind, this is where we crash test every model we make.
