2015 Volvo S60 T6 Drive-E Release Date - For those who do not pay attention, Volvo has been updated with a variety S60 sedan for 2015 with a new range of engines under the label Drive-E. T5 and T6 wearing the same badge to record the relative level of power under the hood, two engines are 2.0-liter four-cylinder-, with a turbocharged and supercharged low becomes greater to be good and turbocharged.
2015 Volvo S60 T6 Drive-E Release Date
Both variants of the E-Drive is currently available only in the sense of a front-wheel-drive, though Volvo will still be happy to sell the S60 T5 AWD with the older 2.5-liter turbo five-cylinder, or a top-of-the-line S60 T6 with turbo 'd 3.0-liter six-cylinder and all-wheel spin.
My car went for a week probably the most balanced version of the S60 range, with exotic sounding twin-charged 2.0-liter mill happy planted in an interesting slant nose. Provided you are not glued to the front of the drive dynamics, T6 Drive-E may be a strong candidate for your next shopping list premium sedan small, too.
Increased fuel efficiency of the engine Drive-E should also be friendly to luxury commuter types. Volvo and EPA cites 24 miles per gallon in the city and 35 on the highway. The figures put it well ahead of the curve for most of the smaller engined version of the primary luxury competitors - the BMW 320i, Lexus IS 250, Audi A4 2.0T, etc. - while offering more power. Seeing the contrary, almost compete toe-to-toe with the power of the more powerful versions of all of the sedan, while the prices are lower (sometimes much lower).
At 302 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, the output of the twin-charged 2.0-liter mill Volvo damn close to that of the outgoing turbo-six, while the weight close to 150 pounds less. Engine feel fat down low, as you'd expect, with audible whine from the supercharger never let you forget about forced induction at low rpm.
