Overview
2008 Volvo S60 T5 Front angle medium view photo KBB Editors' Overview
Launched in late 2000 for the 2001 model year, the Volvo S60 helped launched a styling revolution that transformed the brand's image from boring box to stylish Swede. Relatively unchanged since its inception, the S60's design has held up well, although newer designs from Audi, BMW and Lexus certainly appear more contemporary. The S60, however, is about far more than just good looks. The car is well-known for its extensive safety features and excellent crash-test marks, and its turbocharged engines provide both performance and good fuel economy, an ever-important attribute for fuel-conscious buyers. With a roomy cabin, notably comfortable front seats and a long list of comfort and convenience items, the 2008 Volvo S60 deserves to be near the top of every premium midsize sedan shopping list.
You'll Like This Car If... You May Not Like This Car If...
If you're looking for a premium sedan with some style, the 2008 Volvo S60's sculpted hood, trunk and aggressive wheel and tire packages give it a much bolder look than its understated German and Japanese rivals. The S60 is also a bit wider than most of its competitors, which translates into generous shoulder room. If you're looking for the neutral handling only a rear-wheel-drive sedan can provide, the high-powered T5's noticeable torque steer can, at times, become annoying. The deletion of a manual transmission may also deter purists. The 2.5T is also not as powerful as many similarly-priced V6 models.
What's New for 2008
The high-performance S60 R is no more. All 2008 Volvo S60 models receive upgraded audio units, while T5 models feature leather sport seating, a power sunroof and a five-speed Geartronic automatic transmission.
