Fresh styling, upgraded interior and technology. introductionthe 2014 volvo s60 features fresh styling and an upgraded interior. Launched as a 2011 model, the s60 is a premium compact sedan that fits in the same class as the bmw 3 series, audi a4, mercedes-benz c-class, cadillac ats, lexus is, infiniti g, buick regal, and hyundai sonata. volvo s60 comes in a broad range of models. The 2014 s60 lineup starts with the volvo s60 t5, which uses a 2. 5-liter turbocharged inline-5 making 250 horsepower, 6-speed automatic, front-wheel drive standard, all-wheel drive optional. The midlevel s60 t6 awd, the most popular model, comes with a 300-horsepower turbocharged and intercooled inline-6. Topping the line is the s60 r-design, which raises the power to 325 horsepower and 354 foot-pounds of torque, a lot of power; r-design features a sleeker nose, firmer suspension, 18-inch wheels, more seat bolstering, a unique steering wheel and racier instrumentation. styling revisions for 2014 begin with new body panels from the windshield pillars forward. A new hood and front fenders surround a widened grille on the 2014 volvo s60. Headlights have been reshaped for 2014, and a new lower front spoiler has bright trim. Horizontal led daytime running lights are new for 2014. Also, 17-inch pandora alloy wheels are standard on the 2014 s60 t5. A new instrument cluster is installed for 2014, with white-illuminated buttons.

Among them: premier trim gets new 17-inch sadia alloy wheels for 2014, while premier plus gains a rear park assist camera, grocery bag holders, and quick-fold front passenger seat. Platinum trim gets auto-dimming, power retractable outside mirrors. The optional climate package adds a heated windshield and steering wheel, while the technology package adds cyclist detection to its pedestrian detection system.

The 2014 s60 t6 now comes standard with paddle shifters (optional for t5), a first for volvo.

T6 options now include 17-inch sadia alloy wheels, or 19-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels with a lowered sport chassis. The s60 t6 r-design awd gains a digital compass, plus a homelink remote garage door opener. the volvo s60 is stylish, clean and sophisticated. Differences lie in the stiffness of bushings, springs and dampers. Each chassis delivers excellent handling. Even the front-wheel-drive t5 features corner traction control by torque vectoring, which moves torque to the outside wheel/wheels to help steer the car around a turn. the t5 engine is a 2. 5-liter inline five-cylinder turbo, making an impressive 250 horsepower with 266 foot-pounds of torque. The epa estimates the front-drive t5 will get 21/30 mpg city/highway. Wonderfully smooth and quick when passing on two-lanes, it gets an epa-estimated 18/25 mpg city/highway. The pumped-up s60 r-design gets the same fuel economy rating. the s60 r-design makes 25 more horsepower and 29 more foot-pounds of torque than the 300-hp t6, thanks to ecm programming for more boost, fuel, and sharper throttle response. It's quite noticeable in track driving, where it's a good thing the suspension is stiffer. Despite torque vectoring, it still understeers when cornered at the limit. lineupthe 2014 volvo s60 t5 32,400) uses a 2. 5-liter turbocharged five-cylinder engine making 250 hp, 6-speed automatic, front-wheel drive, and 17-inch alloy wheels.

Not only has the grille been widened, but the ironmark has grown in size. Longer, wider, and lower front intakes gain bright accents for 2014, and the new led daytime running lights are horizonally mounted. Great care went into the details, for example the symmetrical angles of the trapezoidal air intakes in the front fascia, two in the corners under the headlights, and the long horizontal intake at the bottom of the seamless nose. The headlights mirror those shapes, and the tidy, newly-widened grille is perfectly appropriate to the small size of the car's forward-leaning face. there are no bulging fender flares, no strutting to flaunt horsepower. Smooth lines from the front fenders to rear, where the hips meet the graceful coupe roofline. The only chrome on the side of the car is a thin strip surrounding the windows and stating the grace of their outline. interiorthe volvo s60 interior is well thought out, from cupholders to storage compartments. Volvo did this thinking-out over many years of refining interior practicality. The instrumentation is clean and stylish like it's always been, the tach and speedo having a black background, white lettering, red needles and brushed metal rings. Some of the shapes inside, for example the trim on the doors, could be metal sculpture. Shimmer graphite aluminum inlays, they call it, which sounds better than slightly shiny trim.
