The S60 is the first sedan on the market with Advanced Stability Control. With a new roll angle sensor, it is possible to identify skidding tendency at a very early stage. This means the Dynamic Stability and Traction Control (DSTC) can step in earlier and with greater precision.
Most high-tech Volvo ever - with Pedestrian Detection
Pedestrian Detection with full auto brake is a groundbreaking technological solution. It can detect pedestrians who walk onto the road in front of the car, provide a warning to the driver, and -- should the driver not respond in time -- automatically apply full braking power.
Pedestrian Detection with Full Auto Brake can avoid a collision with a pedestrian at speeds of up to 35 km/h if the driver does not react in time. At higher speeds, the focus is on slowing down the car as much as possible prior to impact.
More powerful T6 version
During its first year of production, the all-new Volvo S60 will be equipped with a high-performance, turbocharged six cylinder engine producing 304 horsepower.
The T6 has a displacement of 3.0 litres and produces 325 lb.-ft. (440 Nm) of torque. Acceleration from 0-100 km/h takes 6.5 seconds and top speed is 250 km/h. At the same time, Volvo Cars' engine specialists have succeeded in cutting fuel consumption by about 10 percent to 10.2 l/100 km (Estimated EU Combined).
The engine's power is delivered through Volvo's second-generation six-speed automatic Geartronic transmission; upgraded with new valves and lower friction for faster gear changes. All-wheel drive is standard.
The all-new S60 is built at the Volvo Cars factory in Ghent, Belgium. It will be launched in Canada in the second-half of 2010. Prices will be announced closer to the car's launch.
