Powertrain Options and Availability

All S60 sedans used five-cylinder, dual-overhead-cam engines. Initially, base models held a 2.4-liter that produced 168 horsepower. A turbocharged version of that engine, rated at 197 hp, went into the 2.4T and AWD models. In '03, a 2.5 liter engine that generated 208 hp replaced the 197-hp powerplant on AWD models and other 2.4Ts in 2004. A turbocharged 2.3-liter engine that whipped out 247 horsepower was installed in the the S60 T5. In 2004, Volvo added a high-performance R model with a 300 horsepower 2.5-liter. Manual transmission was standard across the board, but all models could have a five-speed automatic transmission.

NHTSA Crash-Test Results

Test	2002 S60

Front Impact, Driver	4

Front Impact, Passenger	4

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) tests a vehicle's worthiness in front- and side-impact collisions and rates its resistance to rollovers. Front-impact crash-test numbers indicate the chance of serious injury: 5 = 10% or less; 4 = 10-20%; 3 = 20-35%; 2 = 35-45%; 1 = More than 45%. Side-impact crash-test numbers indicate: 5 = 5% or less; 4 = 6-10%; 3 = 11-20%; 2 = 21-25%; 1 = More than 26%. Rollover resistance numbers indicate the chance for rollover when the vehicle leaves the roadway: 5 = Less than 10%; 4 = 10-20%; 3 = 20-30%; 2 = 30-40%; 1 = More than 40%.
