Volvo has launched its V60 wagon locally. This new model
offers a versatile and spacious interior.
Volvo Car Australia Managing Director Matt Braid says the new Volvo V60 is the perfect vehicle to
complement the dynamic S60 sedan and the large, spacious and luxurious wagons for which Volvo is
renowned.
Based on the new S60 sedan that was launched last December, the new V60 is available in three models
- T5, D5 AWD and T6 AWD - with the two petrol-engined T5 and T6 AWD available in both standard and
sporty R-Design variants.
Powering the V60 T5 is the new compact and efficient 177 kW/320 Nm 2.0-litre fourcylinder GTDi
petrol engine that drives the front wheels through a dual-clutch Powershift automatic transmission.
The T6, which is standard with Volvo's permanent all-wheel drive system, uses the upgraded 224
kW/440 Nm 3.0-litre turbocharged six-cylinder petrol engine.
This powerful engine drives all four wheels through the standard six-speed Geartronic automatic
transmission with Sports mode.
The diesel D5 version is powered by a torquey 151 kW/420 Nm 2.4-litre five-cylinder twin turbo
engine that drives all four wheels through the standard Geartronic automatic transmission with Sports
mode.
Both T5 and T6 AWD models are also available in the sporty R-Design specification that offers
sharper looks with exterior and interior enhancements and a 15 mm lower modified chassis to further
improve driving dynamics.
The new V60 boasts a host of standard safety features and driver assistance aids with standard
fitment of Volvo's innovative City Safety system, Emergency Brake Light (EBL) system, anti-lock brakes
(ABS), driver and front passenger front and side airbags and Inflatable curtain side airbags, Whiplash
Protection System (WHIPS), Dynamic Stability and Traction Control (DSTC), Advanced Stability Control
(ASC) and Rollover Protection System (ROPS).

The new V60 is also optionally available with Volvo's third generation Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
system that combines Collision Warning with Full Auto Braking (CWAB), Queue Assist, Pedestrian
Detection and distance alert. Lane Departure Warning combined with Driver Alert is an option.
With a Manufacturer's List Price* (MLP*) starting at $54,950*, the Volvo V60 T5 offers outstanding
value with a long list of standard comfort and convenience features.
These include Electronic Climate Control with cabin pollen filter, Cruise Control, electric windows
with one touch auto up/down for front and rear, electrically retractable (and heated) exterior door
mirrors, power driver seat with memory for seat and mirrors, leather trim, remote central locking,
rain sensor windscreen wipers, rear Park Assist, Bluetooth connectivity and 17-inch alloy wheels.
The standard High Performance Sound system combines a colour 5-inch screen, AM/FM radio, single slot
MP3 compatible CD player and eight speakers and comes complete with audio controls on the steering
wheel and auxiliary and USB inputs. An optional High Performance Multimedia system is also available
that gains a 7-inch screen. A DVD player replaces the CD player.
This same high specification is shared with the mid-range D5 AWD turbodiesel model while the
top-of-the range T6 AWD also gains Volvo Navigation System (VNS), a Premium Dolby Prologic surround
