Now that the S40 has been discontinued, the S60 has become the entry-level Volvo. The three available versions can be equipped with Haldex all-wheel drive and feature a chassis that has been specially adapted to the purpose of the model. The most dynamic S60 is the R-Design, thanks to its 325-hp 3.0L six-cylinder turbocharged engine. The suspension is 1.5 mm lower, the springs are more rigid and the dampers are exclusive to this version.
