The Volvo S60 is Unstoppable

Monique Roy
You may think the Volvo S60 is just another boring 4-door family sedan. Well, think again.

The S60 2.5T combines style and performance with Volvo's reputation for safety. The ride is quiet and smooth, and the S60 European sedan can cleanly steer corners well, but isn't made for hard cornering like the BMW or Audi. The car is stable at high speeds, and is even smooth on rough, rugged roads. The spacious and elegant cabin seats four comfortably and boasts more room than its smaller sibling, the S40. It isn't quite as large as the luxurious S60, but it isn't too much smaller. The cabin controls are easy to use and easy to find, and the interior is elegant and handsome. The seats are extremely comfortable. Legroom is ample in the front and quit spacious in the back.

Safety is Volvo's #1 Priority - The S60 Offers a Safety Cage

Volvo has always put priority on safety. The Volvo S60 provides a protective shell and rigid safety cage for the occupants with front, side and head airbags.

Quick Speed

You don't have need a lead foot to get this car kick'in. In about six quick seconds, you'll hit 60, and you can quickly pull down from the speed with the streamlined and stable braking system (ABS and EBD). At high speeds, the Volvo offers a stable drive.

Looking for high performance?
If you're looking for high performance and the need for speed, choose the S60R. It's sporty and offers advanced technology with sensors that all communicate with each other. The high-performance, muscular S60R comes with a 2.5-liter high-pressure turbocharged and inter-cooled engine that boasts 300 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque beginning at just 1950 rpm. New styling touches include body-color moldings and trim and new colors for 2006.

Great New Lineup

Four models are available for 2006: S60 2.5T ($30,270), S60 2.5T AWD ($32,045), S60 T5 ($32,045), and S60R ($37,920).

If you are looking for a new middle range sedan, don't overlook the handsome, streamlined Volvo S60.
