2008 Volvo S60


The 2008 Volvo S60 continues to be a performance-oriented luxury midsize sedan available in three trim levels having turbochargers enabled. The T5 delivers the sportiest performance. The other two versions are a front-wheel drive based model and an all-wheel drive trim level. All three trim levels are provided with a standard automatic five-speed transmission.

The T5 version of the 2008 Volvo S60 has the best engine – an I-5 with a horsepower of 257hp and a corresponding torque of 258lb-ft. The 2.5-liter I-5 is available in the other models, providing a comparatively modest horsepower of 208hp, as in the previous models of the S6. The Geartronic five-speed transmission is compulsory for the T5.

The 2008 Volvo S60 has a good mileage of around 26mpg on highways and around 18mpg in urban territory. The exterior has been redesigned to make it sportier than ever before, the all-wheel drive providing the best traction among the models.
