Volvo S60 / V60 Sport Mode

Despite its solid emphasis on driver safety, there is absolutely nothing boring about this car. It sports plenty of muscle and horsepower under the hood. This car will thrill with a six cylinder engine with 300 horsepower and 325 lb feet of torque. The S60 allows the driver to customize the driving experience via two separate driving modes; Sport Mode and Advanced Stability Control. The suspension system features Corner Traction Control and Advanced Stability Control. Acceleration is smooth and the car goes from zero to sixty in just 6.2 seconds; fast enough to leave everyone else behind the dust.

Step inside and you will find yourself in a refined and stylish interior. There's a standard screen in place which works with the optional navigation system. Every single vehicle is equipped with a climate control system, Bluetooth capabilities, a trip PC, connectivity with iPod players and a high definition radio. Cargo space is at 12 cubic feet which is competitive for its class. Opt for the premium package and you get a sunroof and cool xenon headlights. The multimedia package adds in an intuitive navigation system, a rearview camera and audio system with twelve speakers.

 

The S60 and XC60 R-Design models are offered as standard with Volvo's Instant Traction and Corner Traction Control system with torque vectoring.

"The jump in performance will re-define these two R-Design models. Along with styling and suspension features that set them apart from other versions, our two newest R-Design models will have a higher 'fun-to-drive' quotient. I see that as a positive thing, and so will car buyers," said Doug Speck, president and CEO of Volvo Cars of North America.
