Volvo S60 2012 UAE Prices & Specs

Volvo's new-for-2011 S60 sedan redefines the Swedish firm's styling trends yet again. New from the ground up, it again straddles the line between compact and midsize, with more cabin room to boot. Available in the GCC with two engine choices, the entry-level S60 2.0T model comes with a 2.0-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder mated to a 6-speed automatic and front-wheel-drive, as well as three trim levels to choose from, including the top 'Prestige' trim. The top-spec model is the S60 T6 AWD, with a 3.0-litre turbocharged 6-cylinder engine mated to a 6-speed automatic and all-wheel-drive, and available only in loaded 'Prestige' trim in certain GCC markets. Later, a T4 base model became available, with a 1.6-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder, 6-speed automatic and front-wheel-drive, which is the only version available at some GCC dealerships. The cabin features extensive soft-touch materials and Volvo's trademark 'floating' console in a choice of wood, metal and graphite colours. Base features include cloth upholstery, power windows, electric mirrors, alloy wheels, CD/MP3 stereo, front and side-curtain airbags, keyless entry with starter motor and more. The 'Prestige' model gets larger wheels, leather, navigation, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitor, adaptive HID headlights, sunroof and more. A simple silver body kit is optional. Volvo's unique 'City Safety' feature is standard, whereby the system brakes by itself to avoid hitting cars and pedestrians. An R-Design package became available for 2013, which adds unique bumpers, 18-inch alloys, sports suspension and more. A software-based Polestar power upgrade is also offered from 2013 onwards, adding 20-30 hp, depending on the model.
