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.
