Volvo V60 Specs, Engines & Dimensions (2010–2013) — First Generation
The first-generation Volvo V60 combines estate practicality with a choice of powertrains. To find one that suits you, consider your usual journeys, your preferred transmission and the equipment fitted to the individual car.
Your Volvo V60 engine choice affects both driving character and running costs. Selected examples include the gasoline 3.0 AT, pairing an automatic transmission with all-wheel drive, and the front-wheel-drive diesels: 1.6 MT with a manual gearbox and 1.6 DSG with a robotized transmission. The manual gives you control over gear changes; test the robotized option in slow traffic to judge its smoothness.
Estate 5-door — Volvo V60 Engines and Transmissions
Volvo V60 trim levels help distinguish equipment and styling choices within a powertrain version. The 3.0 AT, for example, is available in R-Design form, with a sportier visual emphasis. When comparing cars, check the actual seats, comfort features and options fitted, since the trim name alone does not establish every detail.
