The Volvo S60 combines excellent performance with outstanding safety features. It feels like a tight European sedan and does a good job of smoothing out rough roads. Its interior is handsome and the available leather has a high-quality look and feel.
The S60 fills the middle range in Volvo's lineup: It's larger than the compact S40, but not quite as large as the premium-luxury S80.
The high-performance S60 R features 300 horsepower and all manner of go-fast goodies.
For 2007, all S60 models benefit from a firmer, more performance-oriented suspension. Also for 2007, the sporty Volvo S60 T5 features the watch-dial instruments that were previously available only on the luxury-flagship S80 and high-performance S60 R.
Volvo has been a world leader in safety engineering since the mid-1950s and the S60 is stuffed with safety features and engineering.
