Volvo S60 is equipped with a four-cylinder engine. The vehicle features a 4-cylinder turbocharged engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, delivering a maximum power of 163 horsepower and a maximum torque of 265 Nm, with a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 8.9 seconds. Turbocharging primarily increases engine intake air volume through a turbocharger, thereby enhancing the engine's output power and torque. In terms of body dimensions, the Volvo S60 measures 4761mm in length, 1850mm in width, and 1437mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2872mm. This model is built on the SPA architecture and adopts a dual-exterior design to cater to different consumer preferences, offering both Luxury and Sport versions.
Most of the engines currently used in the Volvo S60 are 4-cylinder ones. As a regular user who frequently drives this model, I find the 4-cylinder design quite reliable. The driving experience is smooth, especially in urban traffic jams, thanks to the quick response of the turbocharging system. The fuel consumption is nearly 30% lower than the older 6-cylinder models, and the maintenance costs are also lower. However, there might be slight vibrations during cold starts in winter, but regular oil changes can easily address this. Some of my friends complain that the 4-cylinder engine lacks power, but with the turbocharging technology in the T5 version, overtaking on highways is effortless. Overall, the 4-cylinder engine is well-suited for daily commuting. Combined with Volvo's safety and comfort features, my car has remained in excellent condition over the years.
