Volvo S60 History

Volvo S60 The 2001 (North America, other markets 2000) S60 front drive near-luxury sedans replaced the S70 design that was born in 1993 as the very popular 850 series. The initial year S60 was front-drive only, but by 2002 the AWD option was available.

It shares Volvo's P2 platform with the V70, S80, XC70, and XC90.

Standard equipment included antilock four-wheel disc brakes, front side airbags, side-window curtain airbags, and anti-whiplash front-seat backrests (Volvo's WHIPS) and head restraints.

Every S60 was powered by Volvo's durable, ubiquitous inline five-cylinder engine. The base sedan held a 2.4-liter engine rated at 168 horsepower. A turbocharged 197-hp version of that engine went into the 2.4T. The T5 got a turbocharged 2.3-liter rated at out 247 horsepower.
