2002 Volvo S60 AWD

002 Volvo S60 AWD, sedan, four-doors, review, test

The Volvo S60 is the first gym, but that might be considered last in Sweden, Volvo says. Ford bought Volvo cars for $ 6.45 billion in 1999, with Ford, Firestone tires recall, has made nearly half of considering that not a bad deal; the car's Swedish headquarters, the Prime Minister will become part of Ford's automotive has moved into the city centre, Irvine, California. Group.


This Swedish Volvo stoik, he would lose his soul does that mean? This is the end as we know it is volvos-car, found in every Swedish village, a large stone Lutheran Church, square, solid and remain loyal? I'm sure it is. But don't blame Ford. Volvo of the past and appeal to lighten the weight of the world 1. To move beyond working the crowd for ten years.

For this purpose, offers for Volvo S60 2001 - up with the style conventions of the company, is truncated. However, brand-Diagonal for a grid, anything can happen. The European gym which defines slope-nose, short deck, tail-looking, it's not a memorable thing to appear attractive. Characteristically weirder than Volvo is gone and only the adventurous style rear lamps.

The underlying architecture of the S60, S80 sedan and V70 wagon form the basis for the same rigid platform. Probably all the Swedish Volvo car platform; Future indeed s Volvo, Jaguar, Lincoln and Ford you will not post any of the parts of the piece. This platform, the BMW 3 Series, Audi A4 and Mercedes-Benz C-class is designed to fight. However, the size and weight of kilograms and inches it up to the Germans, although it falls short of the driving section.

Front-wheel drive S60 is in the same package as the continental competition cannot work. Volvo S60 168-HP, 2.4-liter five-speed, 2.4-liter high-pressure turbo 2.3-litre engine and a power of 197 HP with a turbo, while offer the option of a perfect, surprising 247 Hp-that should provide equality of performance, are not enough. Traction from the front wheels from him and with the weight of the nose, becomes curved when the road layout, the Volvo is wrapped rapidly, and is defeated.

This difference, the S60's all-wheel-drive version of this car was handled by a major update for model year 2002. Haldex, a supplier to the car industry is a package developed by a Swedish regular. The system is completely invisible to the driver and electronic controls to distribute torque front and rear connection portion and, when necessary, using a viscous. Under normal conditions, 95 percent of the power gets to the front wheels. When the front wheels slip, the system automatically sets at a rate of 50/50 split. Traction and stability control cost $ 1750, and 16-inch alloy wheels which includes part of the deal. Not a bad price considering some luxury does not cost too much more or the audio options. S60 top tab of about $ 36.500.

Unfortunately, the package has just enough power to drive the AWD car to the gym pumping out 197-HP motor can be used with. Performance is definitely enough; the blast was the only extra is missing. Driving in the car and use a real gym that does not have the precision anticipated in the firm and the difference can also be seen in a similar quantum.

For Volvo S60 Sport-sedan don't make claims if we do not remove these clamps. Medium is considered as a luxury model when there is a lack of very few. Tight back seat, except for all the interior comforts that are expected from this class with well-prepared and well-finished. Responsive, easy to drive, and is attractive in its own way. This is just not in German.

Perhaps for this reason, Volvo keeps the bets. History should not be forgotten that a part of the company's cars safe to build on a reputation well earned. In the S60, whip protection against explosion seats, front and rear side-impact Air bags standard safety equipment, including airbags and even. Volvo active safety, electronic brake force distribution, traction control systems and balancing and the previously stated standard with anti-Lock Brakes centre. Volvo's all-wheel-drive traction in relation to the system of the off-road quality rather than "security, safety and convenience is designed to ensure that stresses.

This precautionary Swedish looks. Maybe Ford don't mess too much if compared to the old one, the new Volvo will be a better successor. At least the name won't change. Volvo, the Swedish ultimately is not a word. Latin "to roll" means.
