Volvo S60 2001 Bahrain Prices & Specs

The S60 is tuned to be a sports sedan, but though it is betrayed by a front-wheel-drive chassis, it looks like a sleek sports coupe from afar. The interior is fairly spacious even with the swooping roofline, and it offers more of a midsize package than a compact one, even though it is occassionally pitted against smaller German rivals in comparisons. For the Middle East market, there were four powerplants from 2001 up to 2003. These include a basic 2.4-litre, a 2.0-litre turbo and a 2.4-litre turbo for the run-of-the-mill S60 sedan models, and a higher-tuned 2.3-litre turbo for the sporty front-wheel-drive T5. All engines are five-cylinder, and have an automatic with tiptronic, although some can be had with a manual too. Standard equipment includes CD stereo, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, cloth or leather cabin, alloy wheels of various sizes, power windows, electric mirrors, optional sunroof, wood trim, automatic a/c and power-adjustable front seats. Maintaining Volvo tradition, safety features include dual front airbags, side impact airbags for SIPS, inflatable curtain airbags and WHIPS whiplash protection. The all-wheel-drive models available in Europe were not marketed in the GCC during these years.
