VOLVO S60 T6 AWD 2013


HORSEPOWER AND ALL WHEEL DRIVE, A MATCH MADE IN SWEDEN

The 2013 S60 introduces All Wheel Drive to it's already critically acclaimed T5 model, making All Wheel Drive now available on the entire S60 model line up. Starting at $33,750 MSRP, the New Volvo S60 T5 AWD utilizes an electronically controlled AWD system from Haldex, which gives it the traction abilities to take on all variations of road and weather conditions.  And even on a dry road, the tractive abilities and precision handling from the AWD system help to lessen over-steer and under-steer conditions so you can enjoy the driving experience.  Even the Volvo K-PAX racing team believes AWD delivers an edge on the race track, particularly when it rains. 

All Wheel Drive Features:
    • The next generation Haldex AWD system
    • Electronically controlled for fast and seamless engagement, applying instantaneous torque transfer between front and rear axles when needed.
    • Improved handling dynamics, even on dry surfaces
    • Instant Traction feature ensures all four wheels are engaged to ensure superior traction at vehicle launch 
    • Under ideal surface conditions, the Haldex AWD sytstem defaults to a 95% front / 5% rear torque distribution which contributes to improved fuel efficiency

The S60 T5 engine also features significant technical improvements for 2013 which make the S60 T5 faster and more fuel efficient than ever before. Acceleration performance on the S60 T5 FWD improves by nearly half a second to 6.4 seconds in the 0-60 mph run. And, the New S60 T5 AWD not only offers the most horsepower and torque for an entry model in the AWD segment, it will also reach 60 mph in just 6.6 seconds. This acceleration is 0.2 second faster, and the combined fuel economy target is the same as last year's S60 T5 FWD – now that's efficiency!
2013 S60 T5 features performance improvements on both AWD and FWD models:
    • Improved acceleration and fuel economy
    • Higher engine compression ratio
    • Greater torque build up at lower RPM
    • Internal friction reduction
    • Peak torque available through a wider RPM range 
    • Faster gear changes/up-shifts in Sport-mode
