What engine does the Volvo S60 use?
2 Answers
Volvo S60 uses a 2.0T turbocharged engine. The Volvo S60 offers four power levels, with T3, T4, and T5 all equipped with a 2.0T engine, while the T8 adopts a plug-in hybrid system combining a 2.0T engine and an electric motor. The Volvo S60 is a Nordic luxury mid-size sedan under the Volvo Car Corporation, and it is also the first Volvo model that does not offer diesel power globally. In terms of body dimensions, the Volvo S60 measures 4761mm in length, 1850mm in width, 1437mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2872mm.
The Volvo S60 primarily uses a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine, available in different versions like the B4 or T5, with power starting around 200 horsepower. City fuel consumption is approximately 9 liters per 100 kilometers, dropping to about 6 liters on highways, making it quite efficient. It's based on the Drive-E platform, designed to be compact and efficient. I've driven a friend's older model, and the acceleration is smooth without any jerking. The engine is well-built with an aluminum alloy block that's lightweight and durable, and maintenance is straightforward—just oil changes and filter replacements. Many owners report reliable performance even after 100,000 kilometers. The latest models also offer a hybrid T8 option, combining an electric motor for better fuel efficiency and stronger performance. When choosing an engine, consider your driving habits—if you frequently drive on highways, the T5 offers ample power; for daily commuting, the hybrid is better. Regular inspections can extend its lifespan, and don’t overlook the cooling system.
