Notes
Introduction Already a fixture on European roads for a few years, the Volvo V60 is coming to the United States. The 2015 V60 looks to revive Volvo's long tradition of selling wagons to American families, a legacy that looked final when the automaker pulled the compact V50 and larger V70 wagons from the U.S. a few years ago. For awhile, the XC70, with its body cladding and off-road attitude, represented Volvo's only U.S. wagon offering. The V60 might change all that. It's larger than the V50, but 7 inches shorter and 10 inches narrower than the V70. The front-wheel-drive base model V60 will use a new turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine generating 240 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. Paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters, the turbo-4 will accelerate the V60 from zero to 60 mph in 6.1 seconds. Volvo says it will also return 29 mpg in combined driving. Opting for an all-wheel-drive V60 offers a choice of two engines familiar from the S60 sedan. A 2.5-liter inline five-cylinder delivers 250 hp and 266 lb-ft, and pulls an all-wheel-drive S60 up to 60 mph in 6.6 seconds, according to Volvo's estimates. A more potent turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder, found in the S60's top R Design performance trim, delivers 325 hp and 354 lb-ft of torque. Both engines pair with a six-speed automatic transmission. Estimated fuel economy is 23 mpg combined and 21 mpg combined, respectively. Volvo hasn't divulged much on the U.S.-spec V60's features and conveniences, but a full suite of driver aids and safety features are confirmed, including adaptive cruise control, adaptive high beams that automatically dim for oncoming traffic, blind-spot monitoring, cross-traffic alert, lane departure warning, lane-keeping assist, parallel parking assist and collision mitigation, even pedestrian detection with automatic braking. Creature comforts will include heated front and rear seats, a heated steering wheel and optional sport seats. A perform Attention New Cars Shoppers!
