The length, width, and height of the S60 are 4715 mm, 1866 mm, and 1481 mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2856 mm. This is a mid-size sedan. Below are the detailed specifications of the S60: 1. The new domestically produced version of the S60 is not a lengthened model. Non-lengthened models offer better handling, lighter weight, but sacrifice rear passenger space. Many brands lengthen their models for the domestic market, as Chinese consumers place high importance on rear passenger space. 2. The domestically produced S60 is equipped with a T5 engine, which is a high-power version of a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. Volvo may later introduce an S60 with a low-power version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. The T5 engine in the new S60 delivers 245 horsepower and a maximum torque of 350 Nm. This engine can output maximum power at 5500 rpm and maximum torque between 1500 to 4800 rpm. The engine features direct fuel injection and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. It is paired with an 8AT transmission. 3. The 8AT transmission in this car is sourced from Aisin, one of the world's top three transmission suppliers. Aisin transmissions are known for their reliability and durability. The S60 uses a MacPherson independent suspension at the front and a multi-link independent suspension at the rear.
As a frequent driver and enthusiast of the Volvo S60, I must say its body dimensions are truly practical. The standard dimensions of the S60 are approximately 4.76 meters in length, 1.85 meters in width, and 1.43 meters in height, with a wheelbase around 2.87 meters. These numbers are like old friends to me because driving it in the city is particularly smooth, and parking isn't too much of a hassle—especially in crowded places like Beijing, where its turning radius isn't too large, making it easy to navigate in and out of residential areas. I often take my family on long trips, and the rear seating space is quite spacious—three adults can sit comfortably without feeling cramped. The trunk capacity is also sufficient to fit several large suitcases. Compared to other luxury cars like the BMW 3 Series, the S60 strikes a more balanced size, with a design that prioritizes safety—just look at its sturdy body and high ground clearance, which prevent skidding even on rainy or muddy roads. What I really appreciate is how the wheelbase affects cabin comfort: short commutes don’t feel exhausting, and long drives don’t leave my back sore.
