Volvo V60
The S60 sedan and V60 wagon are keeping only the turbocharged, 2.0L four-cylinder engine for 2017 with 240 (T5), 302 (T6) or 367 horsepower (Polestar), depending on the version you choose. The latter two are also equipped with a supercharger and all come with an eight-speed automatic gearbox. All-wheel drive is optional. The Cross Country versions of the S60 and V60 are back with their elevated suspension. Continually improved since their launch, the current 60 Series should be redesigned at the end of the year.
