How Many Cylinders Does the Volvo S60 Engine Have?
2 Answers
Volvo S60 is equipped with a 4-cylinder engine, model B420T6, with a maximum power of 145 kW, maximum torque of 300 Nm, maximum horsepower of 197 Ps, maximum power speed of 4800-5400 rpm, and maximum torque speed of 1500-4200 rpm. The engine of the Volvo S60 is produced by Zhangjiakou Volvo Car Engine Manufacturing Co., Ltd. For daily maintenance of the Volvo S60 engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil should be selected based on the additional devices of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, CB--CD grade diesel engine oil should be selected according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements; Regularly change the engine oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, causing various problems for the engine. To avoid failures, change the oil regularly according to usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level; When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is blocked and oil cannot pass through the filter element, the filter element may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve, bringing contaminants back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution; Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal powder from component wear to form sludge. A small amount remains suspended in the oil, while a large amount precipitates, blocking filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear; Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures normal engine operation but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
I compared BBA before buying the S60, and this car now exclusively uses four-cylinder engines. Whether it's the T4, T5, or the hybrid T8, the core is always the 2.0T four-cylinder engine. Volvo's Drive-E powertrain is quite impressive—using both turbocharging and supercharging to squeeze out 254 hp (T5) and even 455 hp in the hybrid version. In the city, the throttle response is quick, and it has solid high-speed acceleration. The key is that fuel efficiency is much better than a six-cylinder, easily hitting 800 km on a full tank on the highway. The all-four-cylinder setup did make me hesitate at first, but after two years of driving, it feels more than adequate. Now, even the C-Class and 3 Series in the same segment mostly rely on four-cylinders too.
