Horsepower

In recent years, Volvo has switched to an all-four-cylinder engine and the V60 packs a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine in four categories: the 240-horsepower turbocharged T5, the supercharged and turbocharged 302-horsepower T6 with 295 lb-ft of torque and the 362-horsepower supercharged and turbocharged T6 Polestar with 347 lb-ft of torque. The R-Design only comes with the T6 engine, while both the Cross Country and Dynamic models come with the T5 engine. The Polestar, R-Design, and the Cross Country models come standard with all-wheel-drive, while the Dynamic model requires an upgrade to get this feature. The V60 Polestar is indeed a powerhouse altogether, offering you acceleration that is only comparable to high-performance cars such as the BMW M3. When it was tested, the V60 Polestar hit 60 mph within 4.8 seconds and it stopped from 60 mph at 105 feet.

The vision package includes a rear view camera fitted with rear parking sensors, rear cross-traffic alert, and Blind Spot information, while active bending lights are a standard feature of the V60.
