The Volvo S60: Designed to move you

- The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines - Hailed as the Luxury Midsize Car of the Year 2011-2012 by the Car Awards Group Inc., the Volvo S60 is a true statement to a winning combination of Volvo’s contemporary luxury experience.

The modern Scandinavian design of the Volvo S60 boosts functionality with thoughtful attention to detail. Luxury demands that the driver be in control which is why the Volvo S60 has the intelligent Volvo Sensus. This infotainment system allows the driver to customize his car and entertainment settings through buttons on the steering wheel. The center console is angled towards the driver to ensure that he can still stay focused on the road while ergonomically designed seats make the driving experience more comfortable. To top that, materials inside a Volvo are all meticulously chosen and tested for allergens, making sure you and your loved ones are safe.

The Volvo S60 also bagged the 2011 National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and New Car Assessment Program (US-NCAP) 5-star rating for safety as well as the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) Top Safety Pick. Thanks to the advanced preventive safety technologies such as the world-first City Safety, a rear-end collision avoidance and mitigation technology that is standard across all locally available variants of the Volvo S60. The top-of-the-line Volvo S60 3.0L T6 features the Collision Warning with Full Auto Brake and Pedestrian Detection technology which at speeds of up to 35km/hr., helps detect and warn the driver of an impending collision with a pedestrian and apply full automatic braking force should the driver fail to react in time. Add to that is an array of advanced safety systems and technologies which will guarantee you and yours peace of mind.

 The Volvo S60 is locally available in three engine variants. The Volvo S60 D3 turbodiesel pumps out 163 hp and 400 Nm of torque to give you a refined driving experience coupled with superior mileage. Optimized engine management systems together with a range of technical modifications make the Volvo S60 D3 one of the most efficient engines in its class.

There’s also the Volvo S60 1.6L T4 that features a powerful gasoline engine with superior fuel efficiency. The direct fuel-injection technology reduces CO2 emissions and fuel consumption, while the turbocharger provides this relatively small engine with 180 hp and 240 Nm of torque to deal with any driving situation.

The Volvo S60 3.0L T6 with the twin-scroll turbo engine, meanwhile, delivers instant acceleration at all revs. An impressive maximum torque of 440 Nm and 304 hp is at your disposal mated with an electronic All-Wheel-Drive system.
