The Volvo S60 is more than just any old sedan. It's an IIHS Top Safety Pick, has been named a USAA Preferred Best Value Midsize Luxury Sedan, has been recognized by Ward's on their "10 Best Interiors" list as well as their "10 Best Engines" list, and has even earned an Automobile magazine All-Star Award.
So you're sitting there wondering - as you should be - what it is about the S60 that makes it such a top-notch sedan. Well, as Volvo explains, there are really only five things you need to know.
One: It's now available with all-wheel drive. The 2013 Volvo S60 T5 features a 250-horsepower engine, an EPA-estimated 29 mpg, a 0-60 time of 6.6 seconds, and all of the durability of an all-wheel drive system.
Two: The S60 is designed to be one of the best-handling sedans available. It features two chassis settings, which optimize Advanced Stability Control or Sport mode for the best in safety and adventure.
Three: Have you seen the S60? Volvo took no shortcuts in design, providing style-conscious drivers with an eye-catching silhouette and intricate details that really give the S60 an edge. Color-coordinated body-moldings, stylish rims, sport tail-pipes, and an aggressive front-grille all come together to create unmatched style.
Four: Oh, it's fun, too. Engine choices include a five-cylinder turbocharged (250-horsepower), and a six-cylinder turbocharged (300 horsepower, 325 in the R-Design). The T6 R-Design is one of the most powerful engines ever offered by Volvo, if you're interested in that kind of thing.
Five: Last, but not least, when you slide into the driver's seat, you'll immediately understand what Volvo means when they say they're "always looking ahead."1 Class-leading safety technology, including the industry-first Pedestrian Detection technology, you'll never worry about the safety of you, your passengers, or other drivers and pedestrians on the road.
This short list could easily become a list of 20 or 30, but we think the S60 is best experienced in person. Stop by the Smothers European Volvo showroom at 2881 Corby Ave Santa Rosa, CA 95407 to learn more. Contact us via our website at your convenience to arrange a time to meet with us.
