2012 Volvo S60 T5 Sedan 4-Door 2.5L Flamenco Red

Detailed item info Model Overview2011's S60 was a dramatic redesign of the Swedish automaker's venerable mid-size sedan. Volvo gave the new model more style. more power and more attitude. The S60 now features curvy sheet metal and contouring. with what Volvo terms as a "double wave" stretching from the headlights to the taillights. It continues into 2012 mostly unchanged. but a newer. lower-cost entry-level T5 model was introduced. The S60 T5 comes with a 2. 5-liter turbocharged in-line 5-cylinder engine. It makes 250 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque. Claimed fuel-efficiency is 20 mpg in city and 30 for highway. with a combined estimate of 23 mpg. The transmission's a 6-speed automatic with Geartronic manual control. Electronically controlled front-wheel drive is standard for all-weather tractability. The T6 continues with the same 3. 0L inline-6 cylinder engine that makes 300 horsepower. It features standard all-wheel drive and a 6-sped automatic transmission. There will be two different suspension choices on the S60 T5; the standard Touring Chassis is offered for those who want the most ride comfort and it's been tuned to still be smooth and quiet on rougher surfaces. For those who want a slightly sportier feel without giving up much if any comfort. there's the optional Dynamic suspension. which includes up-rated shock absorbers and front and rear subframes. The T6 comes with the Dynamic chassis as standard equipment. Safety is a big part of the Volvo brand.
