The DRL lights in the outer corners reinforce the low, road-hugging impression. At the rear, the unique diffuser with aero fins is flanked by the round, high-tech R-Design tailpipes. The new sport seat come as standard in the V60 R-Design. It features a blend of black nubuck textile and perforated leather. By blending inlays with a perforated look, black leather and contrasting stitching, the design team has created an R-design interior with all the details in perfect harmony, crowned by the black headliner.
The V60 delivers a dynamic driving experience, with the same pin-sharp handling as its sister saloon and with the same chassis options and the same levels of customer preference - Touring, Dynamic, Four-C Continuously Controlled Chassis Concept and Lower Sport Chassis, previously only available on the R-Design version.
At the top of the all-new Drive-E offer is the T6 with an output of hp and Nm of torque. The engine features a class-leading combination of a compressor and a turbo charger. Using the supercharger to fill in the bottom end gives the engine a big, naturally aspirated feel.
The mechanically linked compressor starts to function immediately at low revs, while the turbocharger kicks in when the airflow builds up. Fuel consumption with new 8-speed automatic is 6. The new four-cylinder Drive-E engine T5 has hp and Nm of torque. Furthermore, there is a 1. Fuel consumption is down to 5. The V60 T4 or T3 and automatic gearbox now offers fuel consumption at 7.
The five-cylinder D5 turbo diesel has hp and Nm of torque. The D5 with manual gearbox has fuel consumption at 4. The new D4 Drive-E turbo diesel comes with hp and Nm of torque. The engine features world-first i-ART technology that helps to cut fuel consumption. By featuring pressure feedback from each fuel injector instead of using a traditional single pressure sensor in the common rail, i-ART makes it possible to continuously monitor and adapt fuel injection per combustion in each of the four cylinders.
Fuel consumption in a V60 with manual gearbox is down to a class-leading 3. Fuel consumption with new 8-speed automatic is 4.
The automatic D3 hp version of the new Volvo V60 now comes with fuel consumption at 4. The figures with the manual gearbox are 4.
The D2 version of the V60 features a 1. The engine produces hp and Nm of torque. The D2 engine with a manual gearbox comes with fuel consumption at 4. The corresponding figures for the automatic version are 4. The Digital Display theme colours are also echoed in the all-new connected infotainment system, which is introduced in the S60, V60 and XC60 during the second half of It features a refreshed HMI with a number of innovative functions, such as:.
There are three themes to choose from: Elegance, Eco and Performance. The default mode Elegance has a classic look and layout. The Eco mode has a green colour theme and is designed to encourage and reward a fuel-efficient driving style.
Performance features red illumination, and a rev scale instead of the speedometer displayed in the Elegance and Eco versions.
To give drivers in cold climate extra comfort, three-spoke steering wheels can now be specified with electric heating. Cars with automatic transmission can get paddle shifters that give the driver the opportunity to shift gear manually with both hands on the wheel.
Cars equipped with a rain sensor can now also get an electrically heated windscreen for rapid de-icing on cold winter days. IntelliSafe, Volvo's blanket name for all active safety systems, is an important part of the driver-centric approach in the V The Electrical Power Assist Steering EPAS , available with the all-new Drive-E powertrains, uses an electrical motor to support the steering rack, and the driver can choose between three levels of power assistance.
In Low mode the system provides a high degree of power support, making manoeuvring easier. Medium mode has somewhat lower power support to offer more road response at higher speeds. The new Active High Beam Control eliminates the need to switch between low and high beam.
Instead, Active High Beam Control makes it possible keep the headlights on high beam continuously. When another car approaches from the opposite direction, the system helps to prevent dazzling of the oncoming driver by shading out only as much of the beam as necessary. This is done by an ingenious projector module mechanism integrated into the headlamp.
The same benefit applies to drivers in preceding cars. New advanced software, including more rapid vision processing, has now made it possible to extend Volvo Cars' present detection and auto brake technology to cover certain cyclist situations as well.
The new Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with full auto brake is equipped with an advanced sensor system that scans the area ahead. Acceptable, if not brilliant seems to pretty much sum up the rest of the V The dashboard and instrument panel still look great and the level of quality is certainly right up with the best, but the driving position feels a little too high-set and perched up although the seats, as you expect from Volvo, are excellent and space in the back is a touch too tight.
The 2. The good news, then, is that Volvo is working on precisely that, as well as an all-new compact car platform for the next-generation V40, due in Please update your payment details to keep enjoying your Irish Times subscription.

These injectors minimize fuel consumption with their exceptionally rapid and precise injection pulses under high pressure to promote extremely efficient combustion.
As part of Volvo's new engine nomenclature and to simplify Volvo's engine badging, all new engines, including the new five-cylinder 2. For example, the PS version of the new 2. This hierarchic naming has been introduced to allow customers to more easily understand which engine is the most powerful and which fuel it is driven by - D for diesel and historically T has been used for Volvo's petrol cars.
Volvo's naming strategy also follows the principle that the higher the number the more powerful it is - a D5 engine has more power that a D3. As an example, the award-winning Volvo XC60 range has been enhanced with the addition of the new two-litre diesel PS front-wheel-drive powerplant.
The new D3 engine replaces the 2. The new D3 engine is also available with automatic transmission, however, as this variant delivers slightly higher CO 2 levels it will not be badged DRIVe. The D3 and D4 are available in both manual and automatic transmission across all four models.
Fuel consumption in all three models is The engine produces PS and Nm of torque and now comes with a six-speed manual gearbox as standard. The previous 1. The 2. The D5 twin-turbo diesel and high-performance T6 petrol engine remain in the ranges and have both benefitted from improvements. Maximum torque is achieved between and revs. This results in rapid acceleration and smooth driving properties.
