2004 Volvo Brand Buyer's Guide, New Car Reviews
by Bob Plunkett

2004 Volvo S60

2004 Volvo S60

Volvo's mid-size sedans show a stylish cabin with rich appointments in muted tone-on-tone colors.

Five-cylinder engines apply with a 2.4-liter plant plus a light-pressure turbo 2.5-liter variation at 208 hp and the high-pressure turbo for 247 hp.

S60 AWD with increased chassis height stocks the light-pressure turbo 2.5-liter plant. It also uses Volvo's five-speed Geartronic automatic with an electronic AWD system.

Also, Volvo's fastest car returns to the series as the S60 R, a sports sedan outfitted for high performance.

The R-car takes the 2.5-liter turbo five-pack with twin inter-coolers added to muster 300 hp and bring home quick times -- only 5.4 seconds for a run from zero-to-sixty.
