The S60 was given its rakish, coupe like looks for a reason. It was designed from the outset as a sports saloon and its looks reflect its dynamic nature. With a sophisticated multi-link suspension set-up incorporating extensive use of aluminium components, a high torsional rigidity, class-leading track and the latest electronic stability systems, the S60 is always a pleasure to drive. The optional Sports Handling Pack with advanced Four-C (Continuously Controlled Chassis Concept) active chassis with Sport and Comfort settings enhance the enjoyment further.


The power to enjoy the S60's chassis is provided by a range of sophisticated, powerful and turbocharged engines. Four turbocharged petrol units, offering at least 180bhp, are either 2.0-litres, 2.4-litres or 2.5-litres in capacity, while there are also two turbodiesels, including the new D5 unit with 185bhp, and a bi-fuel CNG/petrol engine with 140bhp. All of the S60's engines feature five-cylinders and not only provide power cleanly and economically, they also make an appealing, distinctive, sound unique to five-cylinder powerplants.

Meanwhile, for drivers who want the ultimate high-performance all-rounder, the S60 R is available; a 300bhp flagship with advanced electronic All Wheel Drive working in conjunction with a Four-C active chassis, specifically tuned for UK road conditions.
